In Memory of Al Cameron
نویسندگان
چکیده
Al Cameron, who died recently (October 3, 2005) at 80, was one of the giants in astrophysics. His insights were profound and his interests were wide-ranging. Originally trained as a nuclear physicist, he made major contributions in a number of fields, including nuclear reactions in stars, nucleosynthesis, the abundances of the elements in the Solar System, and the origin of the Solar System and the Moon. In 1957, Cameron and, independently, Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler and Hoyle, wrote seminal papers on nuclear astrophysics. Most of our current ideas concerning element formation in stars have followed from those two pioneering and historical works. Al also made many contributions in the field of Solar System physics. Particularly noteworthy in this regard was Cameron’s work on the formation of the Moon. Al was also a good friend and mentor of young people. Al Cameron will be missed by many in the community both for his scientific contributions and for his friendship.

متن کاملShape Memory Properties in Cu-Zn-Al Alloy
In this research a Cu-Zn-Al alloy is produced by melting the raw materials in an electric resistance furnace and then pouring it into a steel mould. The optimum way to achieve the final analysis in the hypo-eutectoid range is determined and the influence of the alloying element, Ti on the grain size and the shape memory properties of the samples are investigated. Solution treatment (done at 850...

متن کاملبررسی تاثیر عصارهی آبی سنجد بر اختلال حافظه ایجاد شده توسط اسکوپولامین در موشهای صحرایی
Background and Objective: Impaired cognitive function and memory, a characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, can be caused by decreased activity of the cholinergic system. Scopolamine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, may cause temporary impairment in memory and provide an Alzheimer's disease model. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of water extract of Elaeagnus Angustifolia on mem...
