TL;DR: A semi-empirical basis is used to describe and correlate the known nuclear properties including the theoretical concepts, methods, and considerations which have been devised in order to interpret the experimentsl material and to advance the ability to predict and control nuclear phenomena.
Abstract: A semi-empirical basis is used to describe and correlate the known nuclear properties including the theoretical concepts, methods, and considerations which have been devised in order to interpret the experimentsl material and to advance the ability to predict and control nuclear phenomena. General properties, two-body problems at low energies, nuclear forces, two-body problems at high energies, three- and four-body problems, nuclear spectroscopy, nuclear reactions, spontaneous decay of nuclei, interaction of nuclei with electromagnetic radiation, and beta decay are treated. 1200 references.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply survey and statistical analysis to the study of the attitudes toward, and the values inherent to, the Common Law judicial system in the unique cultural and economic milieu of Hong Kong in transition.
Abstract: Under the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration on the future of Hong Kong the previous capitalist system and life-style shall remain unchanged for 50 years This concept has been embedded in the Basic Law of Hong Kong The future of the Common Law judicial system in Hong Kong depends on the perceptions of it by Hong Kong's Chinese population judicial developments prior to July 1, 1997, when Hong Kong passes from British to Chinese control and the Basic Law itself All of these critical issues are addressed in this book It applies survey and statistical analysis to the study of the attitudes toward, and the values inherent to, the Common Law judicial system in the unique cultural and economic milieu of Hong Kong in transition

TL;DR: Feshbach resonances are the essential tool to control the interaction between atoms in ultracold quantum gases and have found numerous experimental applications, opening up the way to important breakthroughs as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Feshbach resonances are the essential tool to control the interaction between atoms in ultracold quantum gases. They have found numerous experimental applications, opening up the way to important breakthroughs. This review broadly covers the phenomenon of Feshbach resonances in ultracold gases and their main applications. This includes the theoretical background and models for the description of Feshbach resonances, the experimental methods to find and characterize the resonances, a discussion of the main properties of resonances in various atomic species and mixed atomic species systems, and an overview of key experiments with atomic Bose-Einstein condensates, degenerate Fermi gases, and ultracold molecules.

TL;DR: In this article, a new formulation of the theory of nuclear reactions based on the properties of a generalized "optical" potential is presented, where the real and imaginary part of this potential satisfy a dispersion type relation while its poles give rise to resonances in nuclear reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the corresponding Maxwellian-averaged thermonuclear reaction rates of relevance in astrophysical plasmas at temperatures in the range from 10(6) K to 10(10) K were calculated.

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical theory of nuclear masses and deformations is presented, where the potential energy of a nucleus, considered as a function of N, Z and the nuclear shape, is given by the liquid-drop model, modified by a shell correction.

TL;DR: In this article, the transition from the metallic regime to the dielectric regime (10−50 A size isolated metal particles in an insulator continuum) is associated with the breaking up of a metal, where the volume fraction of metal, x, was varied from x = 1 to x = 0.05.
Abstract: Granular metal films (50–200,000 A thick) were prepared by co-sputtering metals (Ni, Pt, Au) and insulators (SiO2, Al2O3), where the volume fraction of metal, x, was varied from x = 1 to x = 0.05. The materials were characterized by electron micrography, electron and X-ray diffraction, and measurements of composition, density and electrical resistivity at electric fields e up to 106 V/cm and temperatures T in the range of 1.3 to 291 K. In the metallic regime (isolated insulator particles in a metal continuum) and in the transition regime (metal and insulator particles in a metal continuum) and in the transition regime (metal and insulator labyrinth structure) the conduction is due to percolation with a percolation threshold at x⋍0.5. Tunnelling measurements on superconductor-insulator-granular metal junctions reveals that the transition from the metallic regime to the dielectric regime (10–50 A size isolated metal particles in an insulator continuum) is associated with the breaking up of a metal ...
