Neutron physics
Paul Reuss
ISBN: 978-2-7598-0041-4

Originally just an offshoot of nuclear physics, neutron physics soon became a branch of physics in its own right. It deals with the movement of neutrons in nuclear reactors and all the nuclear reactions they trigger there, particularly the session of heavy nuclei which starts a chain reaction to produce energy.

 
Stars and Stellar Evolution
Klaas de Boer et Wilhelm Seggewiss
ISBN: 978-2-7598-0356-9

The diverse forms that stars assume in the course of their lives can all be derived from the initial conditions : the mass and the original chemical composition. In this textbook Stars and Stellar Evolution the basic concepts of stellar structure and the main roads of stellar evolution are described.

 
Algebraic Geometry An introduction
Daniel Perrin
ISBN: 978-2-7598-0048-3

Aimed primarily at graduate students and beginning researchers, this book provides an introduction to algebraic geometry that is particularly suitable for those with no previous contact with the subject and assumes only the standard background of undergraduate algebra.

Magnetic field on bright star Vega
A&A

Using the NARVAL spectropolarimeter of the Bernard-Lyot telescope on top of the Pic du Midi (France), astronomers clearly observe the magnetically-induced effect in the spectrum of Vega, thereby showing that the star possesses a magnetic field, something unknown so far …

 
Natural stand structures, disturbance regimes and successional dynamics in the Eurasian boreal forests: a review with special reference to Russian studies
Ann. For. Sci.

Successional dynamics of boreal forests have been studied frequently by Russian foresters, but their work remainded essentially confidential, and published only in russian. AFS publishes a review that summarizes …

 
An exploding star in an "exploding" galaxy
Discovery of radio supernova SN 2008iz in the nearby starburst galaxy M82
A&A

An international team of radio astronomers have discovered the secret explosion of a massive star, a new supernova, in the nearby galaxy M82 …

 
A 25-year record of carbon sequestration and soil properties in intensive agriculture
Agron. Sustain. Dev.

Unexpectedly, this article shows that intensive agriculture has improved soil organic carbon. As a major carbon pool on earth, soil organic carbon may act either as a sink or a source of atmospheric CO2, a greenhouse gas.

 
Light-pulse atom interferometry in microgravity
Eur. Phys. J. D

Atom interferometry involves the possibility of using beams of atoms in the same way as a laser beam in a photon interferometer, a type of device that is used for example in high precision telemetry, rotation sensing or gravity mapping. The recent progresses in cold atom interferometry …

ESOMAT Conferences

This series of conferences is being held in a triennial cycle since 1989. It focuses on basic and applied research on martensitic transformations in shape memory alloys and advanced steels. The upcoming 8th European Symposium on Martensitic Transformations ESOMAT 2009 is being held in Prague, Czech Republic, on 7-11 September 2009.

 
International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology

The International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology is held every three years. The purpose of these conferences is to bring together scientists and engineers involved in the production or use of nuclear data for various applications. The next conference will be held in the Republic of Korea in spring 2010.

 
DYMAT Conferences

The objective of the DYMAT conferences is to create a forum where people involved in scientific research as well as industrial applications related to the dynamic behaviour of materials can meet and discuss results and ideas by means of a series of presentations and a technical exhibition. The upcoming DYMAT 2009 conference is being held in Brussels, Belgium, on 7-11 September 2009.
