We use a simulation code, based on Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo, to investigate the depth-dose profile and lateral radial spreading of swift proton beams in liquid water. The stochastic nature of the projectile-target interaction is accounted for in a…

Two sets of experimental data have been obtained flushing seawater through columns packed with sediment which had been previously in equilibrium with freshwater. The sets of data contain the ion concentrations of the outflow and the physical and chemical parameters…

The bibliographic impact factor (BIF) of Thomson Scientific is sometimes not a valid scientometric indicator for a number of reasons. One major reason is the strong influence of the number of “source items” or “articles” for each journal that the…
