Health physics aspects associated with operation of the ITER are investigated. ITER has health physics elements in common with existing facilities as well as unique features. Fusion facility neutron radiation is similar to that encountered in a low energy accelerator. The tritium hazard has radiation protection issues in common with the Canadian Deuterium reactor. Completion of the final ITER d...

Here, Adomian decomposition method has been used for finding approximateand numerical solutions of nonlinear differential difference equations arising inmathematical physics. Two models of special interest in physics, namely, theHybrid nonlinear differential difference equation and Relativistic Toda couplednonlinear differential-difference equation are chosen to illustrate the validity andthe g...

It is with great sadness that we share that Jean St. Germain, our colleague, friend, and integral member of the Medical Physics Department at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) for over 50 yr, passed away on December 7, 2017. She died peacefully and was with her brother, Amos, at the time. Following completion of graduate study at Rutgers University and a fellowship at Brookhaven Na...

the aim of the present paper is to sbo» that anti-realism in science, 1vhich has a1;guab/y become more fashionable in recentyears, contrary to tuha: its proponents assert, cannot make use of quantum mechanics and its impressiue achievements as a frump card in justifying its claims. i will argue that scientific anti-realism far from providing scientific communiry with a progressive methodologica...
