Theses spark twin dilemma for physicists

Topics for PhD Theses and Master Theses

So far, spatial databases have mainly dealt with the management of two-dimensional geometric data. This has turned out to be sufficient for many spatial applications. But on the other hand, our world is three-dimensional. In this project, first, possible applications are investigated that require or would greatly benefit from a treatment of three-dimensional data and operations. This study shou...

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.

Delivery of the second twin: revisiting the age-old dilemma.

T is general consensus that cesarean delivery is the optimal mode of delivery for women with a nonvertex-presenting twin and that a trial of labor is reasonable in women with vertex–vertex twins. However, the management of twin pregnancies complicated by a nonvertex second twin remains controversial. With the rise in the twin birth rate, obstetricians are faced with this clinical situation with...
