Risen phoenix bites dust again

Cerebral scintigraphy--the phoenix rises again.

This paper reviews the development of cerebral scintigraphy from its early days of planar imaging with simple technetium-99m labelled compounds to the recent revival of the technique in the form of positron-emission and single-photon emission tomography. A short explanation of instrumentation and radiopharmaceuticals is given as a prelude to a description of both techniques in normal and pathol...

Another one bites the dust…

Last week, I received one of those dreaded annual emails. That’s right, the now almost routine one asking faculty to voice their support, or lack thereof, for the ever-declining number of hard copy journals still being purchased by the library.

Cosmic dust grains strike again

A detailed simulation of air showers produced by dust grains has been performed by means of the aires Monte Carlo code with the aim of comparing with experimental data. Our analysis indicates that extensive dust grain air showers must yet be regarded as highly speculative but they cannot be completely ruled out. PACS number(s): 98.70.Sa, 98.70.-f
