We here take a look at Francesco’s scientific work, and highlight some of his contributions to accelerator physics. More details can be found in the slides presented by the speakers of the Francesco Ruggiero Memorial Symposium held at CE...

Choking on Modernity: A Human Ecology of Air Pollution

Biol. Pharm. Bull. 30(10) 1954—1957 (2007)

polar, hydrophilic compounds is an important prerequisite for the detoxification and eventual elimination of xenobiotics from the body. This mechanism also provides the first line of intracellular defense and is mediated by a number of enzyme superfamilies, including cytochrome P450 (CYP) and several conjugation enzymes including the sulfotransferases, UDPglucuronosyl transferases and glutathio...

1957 - 2007 : 50 Years of Higher Order Programming Languages

Fifty years ago one of the greatest breakthroughs in computer programming and in the history of computers happened – the appearance of FORTRAN, the first higher-order programming language. From that time until now hundreds of programming languages were invented, different programming paradigms were defined, all with the main goal to make computer programming easier and closer to as many people ...
