How many poor people are there in the world? This simple question is surprisingly difficult
to answer at present. Building on earlier exercises going back to the late 1970s, 1 the World …

We live increasingly in a ‘risk society’, Characterized by the multiplication and increasing
unpredictability of risks, as well as by our enhanced consciousness of them. Claims on the part …

The NCCN Guidelines for Hepatobiliary Cancers focus on the screening, diagnosis, staging,
treatment, and management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gallbladder cancer, and …

We show that a hybrid (nuclear+ quark matter) star can have a mass-radius relationship
very similar to that predicted for a star made of purely nucleonic matter. We show this for a …

We analyze the growth impact of official development assistance to developing countries. Our
approach is different from that of previous studies in two major ways. First, we disentangle …

We calculate the equation of state of neutron matter with realistic two-and three-nucleon
interactions using quantum Monte Carlo techniques and illustrate that the short-range three-…

We study the charged and neutral current weak interaction rates relevant for the determination
of neutrino opacities in dense matter found in supernovae and neutron stars. We establish …

The properties of neutron stars are determined by the nature of the matter that they contain.
These properties can be constrained by measurements of the star’s size. We obtain stringent …

At nuclear matter density, electrically neutral strongly interacting matter in weak equilibrium
is made of neutrons, protons, and electrons. At sufficiently high density, such matter is made …

The dense matter equation of state (EOS) determines neutron star (NS) structure but can be
calculated reliably only up to one to two times the nuclear saturation density, using accurate …
