Sommario/riassunto |
|
Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) account for approximately one-quarter of all malignant lung cancers, the vast majority being represented by small-cell lung carcinoma. This thorough overview of this challenging field from international experts explores the various existing and emerging treatment options across the NET spectrum together with approaches to diagnosis and monitoring of disease. |

definition despite its centrality and importance in the body of bioethics. The compilation presented in this volume represents continuing discussions on the theme of privacy in the context of genetic information. It is intended to present a wide range of expert opinion in which the notion of privacy is examined from many perspectives, in different contexts and imperatives, and in different societies, with the hope of advancing an understanding of privacy through the examination and critique of some of its evolving component concep |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
En août 1942, le président des Etats Unis, Roosevelt, crée le projet Manhattan dont l'objectif est la réalisation d'une arme atomique. Oppenheimer est choisi pour diriger la partie scientifique du projet car il réunit les qualités suivantes : scientifique américain connaissant la physique nucléaire, reconnaissance de la part des scientifiques et aptitude à les diriger. Il réunit dans un lieu secret du Nouveau Mexique, à Los Alamos, les meilleurs scientifiques des Etats-Unis et de plusieurs pays alliés, à l'exception notable d'Albert Einstein. Le projet Manhattan finit par employer plus de 130 000 personnes et coûta près de 2 milliards de dollars américains de 1945, soit environ 26 milliards de dollars de 2013. Les travaux de recherche et de production se déroulèrent dans plus de 30 sites, certains étant secrets, aux États- |

Unis, au Royaume-Uni et au Canada. En 16 juillet 1945, "Gadget", l'une des 2 bombes au plutonium, est testée dans le désert du Nouveau Mexique. Oppenheimer désabusé déclare: "Je suis devenu la mort, le destructeur des mondes". |
