One objective for physicists

Immunology for physicists

The immune system is a complex system of cells and molecules that can provide us with a basic defense against pathogenic organisms. Like the nervous system, the immune system performs pattern recognition tasks, learns, and retains a memory of the antigens that it has fought. The immune system contains more than 107 different clones of cells that communicate via cell-cell contact and the secreti...

SLE for Theoretical Physicists

This article provides an introduction to Schramm(stochastic)-Loewner evolution (SLE) and to its connection with conformal field theory, from the point of view of its application to two-dimensional critical behaviour. The emphasis is on the conceptual ideas rather than rigorous proofs. ∗Address for correspondence.

Cosmology for Particle Physicists

Book Review: Mathematics for Physicists

A book review on Mathematics for Physicists This new book by B. R. Martin and G. Shaw [1] is part of the Manchester Physics Series, a long-established set of elementary texbooks aimed primarily at providing undergraduate physics students (but also students in other physical sciences, such as astronomy, chemistry, earth and planetary science, etc.) with relatively short, self-contained courses o...

Radiological physicists

JUAN A. DEL REGATO, Radiologicalphysicists, New York, American Institute ofPhysics for the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, 1985, 4to, pp. v, 188, illus., $25.00. Radiology provided perhaps the main route by which physicists entered medicine in the period leading up the Second World War. Among other things, they were needed to develop and service X-ray and radium equipment; to de...
