Abstract

Fully updated for the second edition, this book introduces the growing and dynamic field of particle astrophysics. It provides an overview of high-energy nuclei, photons and neutrinos, including their origins, their propagation in the cosmos, their detection on Earth and their relation to each other. Coverage is expanded to include new content on high energy physics, the propagation of protons and nuclei in cosmic background radiation, neutrino astronomy, high-energy and ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, sources and acceleration mechanisms, and atmospheric muons and neutrinos. Readers are able to master the fundamentals of particle astrophysics within the context of the most recent developments in the field. This book will benefit graduate students and established researchers alike, equipping them with the knowledge and tools needed to design and interpret their own experiments and, ultimately, to address a number of questions concerning the nature and origins of cosmic particles that have arisen in recent research.

Abstract

Principles of Nuclear Chemistry is an introductory text in nuclear chemistry and radiochemistry, aimed at undergraduates with little or no knowledge of physics. It covers the key aspects of modern nuclear chemistry and includes worked solutions to end of chapter questions. The text begins with basic theories in contemporary physics and uses these to introduce some fundamental mathematical techniques. It relates nuclear phenomena to key divisions of chemistry such as atomic structure, spectroscopy, equilibria and kinetics. It also gives an introduction to f-block chemistry and the nuclear power industry.This book is essential reading for those taking a first course in nuclear chemistry and is a useful companion to other volumes in physical and analytical chemistry. It will also be of use to those new to working in nuclear chemistry or radiochemistry.

Abstract

Ce livre est une vaste fresque technico-historique sur les réacteurs nucléaires et sur les combustibles qu'ils utilisent. Il relate d'abord de façon originale toute l'histoire de la connaissance des atomes et de leur noyau jusqu'à la découverte majeure que fut la fission puis la réaction en chaîne qui marque la naissance de l'énergie nucléaire. On y explique ensuite les bases scientifiques du fonctionnement des réacteurs nucléaires en commençant par exposer les principales notions de physique nucléaire permettant notamment de comprendre les interactions entre neutrons et noyaux atomiques et d'expliquer la fission. Partant de ces fondements, la part la plus importante de ce livre est consacrée à la genèse des différentes « filières de réacteurs » et à leur conception. Cela permet de bien comprendre le « pourquoi » et le « comment » du développement du nucléaire d'aujourd'hui et d'anticiper celui du futur. La nature et la structure de différentes grandes composantes d'un réacteur nucléaire y sont notamment explicitées et comparées en détails. On résume à cette occasion l'histoire du développement de l'énergie nucléaire des grands pays qui ont été des pionniers dans ce domaine, dont la France. Cette partie s'achève avec une présentation des réacteurs non électrogènes comme ceux destinés à l'espace ou à la propulsion marine, ainsi que les réacteurs du futur, notamment ceux de la quatrième génération. Enfin, le livre traite de toutes les étapes du cycle du combustible nucléaire.L'ensemble du livre est ponctué de nombreuses anecdotes souvent inédites ou d'évènements insolites rarement rapportés jusqu'ici, qui ont jalonné le chemin de cette aventure unique.Par l'étendue des sujets traités et par les liens étroits qui sont tissés entre l'histoire et la technique, ce livre n'a pas d'équivalent en France et à l'étranger. C'est le fruit de toute une carrière de l'auteur consacrée à la recherche et à l'industrie nucléaire mais aussi à l'enseignement. C'est également le résultat d'un long et patient travail de plusieurs années guidé par une motivation essentielle : la passion.

Abstract

The focus of this eBook is to bring new insights into central immune tolerance. To fulfill that, much has been discussed about the master in the regulation of tolerance, the autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene the main thymus cell type that expresses this gene, the medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). It includes one Editorial and 12 other excellent contributions in the format of mini reviews or original research papers covering one or more of these aspects: promiscuous gene expression (PGE), epigenetics, miRNAs, association of the Aire gene and miRNAs, thymocyte–TEC interaction, coxsackievirus and type 1 diabetes, exosomes in the thymus, thymic crosstalk, thymic B cells, T cell development, chemokines and migration of T cells, miRNAs and the thymic atrophy, cell–cell interactions, and thymus ontogeny. Authors raised hypothesis, discuss concepts, and show open questions. The remaining important issues to resolve questions within the central tolerance research are briefly discussed below.
