Galen: problems and prospects. A collection of papers submitted at the 1979 Cambridge conference

While these essays are not exactly inspirational, they are all based on careful and extensive research and as a whole do an excellent job of defining this important aspect of urban history. The need for such a collection which identifies areas for further work is made clear in a useful bibliographical essay on urban pollution problems.

They have criticized, with some inconsistency, both the failure of the University to revise its outmoded statutory requirements and its failure to enforce them. Until the n...

Neutron generator at Hiroshima University for use in radiobiology study.

A neutron generator (HIRRAC) for use in radiobiology study has been constructed at the Research Institute for Radiation Biology and Medicine, Hiroshima University (RIRBM). Monoenergetic neutrons of which energy is less than 1.3 MeV are generated by the 7Li(p,n)7 Be reaction at proton energies up to 3 MeV. The protons are accelerated by a Schenkel-type-accelerator and are bombared onto the 7Li-t...
