The future of genetics, like that of any other technology, offers great promise but also great peril. Nuclear technology has provided nuclear medicine, nuclear energy, and nuclear weapons. Genetic technology offers the promise of a diverse array of good, questionable, and bad technological applications. Christians, therefore, must help shape the ethical foundations of this technology and its fu...

Liver cells from 20 normal livers and 20 hepatomas have been studied in histological sections using an interactive computer method which measures nuclear size and shape. The variables which gave best discrimination between malignant and benign nuclei were the standard deviations of nuclear shape measurements. Though the liver is an ideal tissue for computer study it is considered that such meas...

We propose a new, rapidly convergent shape parametrization, the so-called Fourier-over-spheroid (FoS) approach, to model fission of heavy nuclei. Four collective coordinates are used characterize fissioning system: its elongation, left-right asymmetry, neck size, and nonaxiality. The potential energy landscape is computed within macroscopic-microscopic on top which multidimensional Langevin equ...
