The current overview quantity not just covers quite a lot of issues pertinent to nuclear technology and expertise, yet has attracted a unique foreign authorship, for which the editors are thankful. the hole evaluation through Drs. Janet Tawn and Richard Wakeford addresses the tough topic of wondering sci- tific hypotheses in a courtroom of legislation. the uk skilled a considerable nuclear coincidence within the Nineteen Fifties within the type of the Windscale Pile fireplace. This in itself had either reliable and undesirable results; the developing of a licensing authority to make sure nuclear safeguard was once one, the comprehensible public sentiment referring to nuclear energy (despite the fireplace taking place in a guns pile) the opposite. Windscale this day is subsumed within the reprocessing plant at Sellafield operated by way of British Nuclear Fuels plc and it was once inevitable maybe that after an extra cluster of formative years leukaemia was once saw within the within reach village of Seascale that public quandary may be promoted via the media, resulting in the listening to of a declare of repayment triggered behalf of 2 of the households of BNFLs employees who had suffered that loss. The evaluation article demonstrates the complexity of und- status this type of declare opposed to the statistical fluctuations inherent and indicates how the courts have been persuaded of the necessity to suggest a organic mechanism if accountability have been to be held. the corporate have been absolutely relieved through the discovering.

Описание: В 1966 году в Национальной библиотеке в Мадриде были обнаружены два манускрипта, написанные Леонардо. Когда-то они не были учтены при каталогизации, и об их существовании не было известно. Этим двум манускриптам дали условные названия «Мадридский кодекс I» и «Мадридский кодекс II».
«Мадридский кодекс I» состоит из 192 листов 1490—1499 годов написания, содержащих изображения различных механизмов и изложения теории механики. Хотя работа и посвящена механике, в ней есть заметки по астрономии и по оптике.
«Мадридский кодекс II» был создан Леонардо в 1503—1505 гг. и состоит из 158 листов. Он собрал исследования в области геометрии, такие, например, как «квадратуры круга». Кроме этого, в нём содержатся работы по перспективе и оптике. В книге можно найти эскизы морских и топографических карт, рассматриваются проблемы военной техники и архитектуры. Самое интересное в этом кодексе — неосуществлённый проект изменения русла реки Арно, эскизы фрески «Битва при Ангиари» и конного памятника Франческо Сфорца.

67 One of the authors (RW) presented evidence to show that none of the four cases which occurred in Egremont North was associated with paternal preconceptional irradiation, even though the collective dose of such irradiation in this electoral ward was greater than in Seascale. If some factor in Egremont North is increasing the risk of childhood leukaemia, then it would be most remarkable that this factor did not affect those children who are supposedly most at risk, that is the children whose fathers were exposed to radiation prior to conception.
