The ALPHA experiment has recently entered an expansion phase of its experimental programme, driven in part by the expected benefits of conducting experiments in the framework of the new AD + ELENA antiproton facility at CERN. With antihydrogen trapping now a routine operation in the ALPHA experiment, the collaboration is leading progress towards precision atomic measurements on trapped antihydr...

Mammography is a well-accepted diagnostic technique for the early detection of breast cancer and has been shown to reduce the breast cancer mortality rate in women who are 40-69 years old Boonlikit (2013). Some studies explained age and race related changes in mammographic parenchymal patterns (Zulfiqar et al., 2011). The radiology appearance of the female breast varies from completely fatty to...

Metallic nanoparticles bridge the length scale between atoms and crystals, exhibiting mesoscopic properties unique to their size. Thus, they have generated much interest for their potential applications as chemical or biological sensors and particularly as waveguides for light in nanoscale structures. [Y. W. C. Cao, R. C. Jin, and C. A. Mirkin, Science 297, 1536 (2002); H. J. Lezec et al., Scie...

This article takes what has always been a methodological and ethical question for anthropologists (how should we relate to others?) and turns it into an ethnographic one (how do those we study think ethically across borders?).

Abstract Background Elevated blood lead level (EBLL) is a public health problem in both developing and industrialized countries. Being petrochemical-based economy, (Pb) levels are expected to be high Kuwait, but systematic data on population exposure lacking. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of EBLL adolescents Kuwait. Methods Adolescents ( N = 1385; age range 11–16 years) were cr...

Air pollution has emerged as a pressing global issue in recent decades. While criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases contribute to the problem, this article explicitly addresses hazardous air (HAPs). This work estimates country-wide cumulative human health impacts from exposure HAPs. Kuwait is used case study due data availability non-fragmentation of data. At present, evaluation multi-pathwa...
