The Coming Decade

disease biology in the coming decade(s)

ANNALS COMMENTARY disease biology in the coming decade(s) Human diseases can be broadly classified into two distinct groups namely, Infectious diseases and Genetic disorders. Over the last few decades, we have seen tremendous advancement in our understanding of the biology of pathogenic microbes and viruses and also novel approaches to combat them, though several challenges remain due to develo...

Tevatron Performance Goals for the Coming Decade

Fermilab is in the midst of a program to raise the luminosity in the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider by at least a factor of five above the currently achieved level of 1.6×1031 cm-2sec-1. Components of this program include the construction of a new synchrotron, the Main Injector, a new antiproton storage ring, the Recycler, and a variety of improvements to the existing Antiproton Source and...

ICT, Public Administration and Democracy in the Coming Decade

Yogi Berra was famous both as a baseball player and as a source of enigmatic epigrams which often carried a subtle truth. One of his most famous observations was that “the future ain’t what it used to be”. Translated, what Berra was saying was that our view of the future changes all the time and yesterday’s forecasts are often today’s source of wry amusement. For this reason amongst others, man...

Fast neutron beams--prospects for the coming decade.

The present status of neutron beam production techniques above 20 MeV is discussed. Presently, two main methods are used; white beams and quasi-monoenergetic beams. The performances of these two techniques are discussed, as well as the use of such facilities for measurements of nuclear data for fundamental and applied research. Recently, two novel ideas on how to produce extremely intense neutr...
