The X - Ray Photoionized Wind in Cen X - 3 / V 779 Cen

We analyze the ASCA spectrum of the Cen X-3 X-ray binary system in eclipse using atomic models appropriate to recombination-dominated level population kinetics in an overionized plasma. In order to estimate the wind characteristics, we first fit the eclipse spectrum to a single-zone photoionized plasma model. We then fit spectra from a range of orbital phases using global models of photoionized...

Pharmaceuticals and Sport

His activities extend to the International Federation of Sports Medicine (he is an officer of the Federation and its Treasurer) and the Association of Olympic Physicians. His numerous scientific papers have been translated into several languages and have been the subject of lectures given in the various continents. We thank him cordially for allowing us to publish his study on pharmaceuticals a...

Trade, TRIPS, and pharmaceuticals.

The World Trade Organization's Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) set global minimum standards for the protection of intellectual property, substantially increasing and expanding intellectual-property rights, and generated clear gains for the pharmaceutical industry and the developed world. The question of whether TRIPS generates gains for developing coun...

ECVAM and pharmaceuticals.

In the pharmaceutical industry, toxicology testing is normally done by preclinical scientists during the Development phase. In the last decade, the implementation of high-throughput screens during the Discovery phase has resulted in an ever-increasing number of lead candidates to be selected for drug development. The low throughput of the conventional safety tests is a bottleneck in the drug-de...
