Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive guide to automating office tasks



within a legal practice, with a focus on enhancing efficiency and reducing mundane work. It covers strategies for planning and designing workflows, selecting appropriate tools, and using forms to securely capture data. The text emphasizes the importance of client communication, scheduling, and document generation. Additionally, it explores the integration of multiple automation applications to streamline operations. The author, Chris Fortier, draws on his experience with the Social Security Administration and his involvement in legal associations to offer practical insights. This book is aimed at legal professionals seeking to optimize their practice through technology.

Sommario/riassunto

Atomic collisions offer some unique opportunities to study atomic structure and reaction mechanisms in experiment and theory, especially for projectiles of high  atomic number provided by modern accelerators. The book is meant as an introduction into the field and provides some basic theoretical understanding of the atomic processes occurring when a projectile hits another atom. It also furnishes the tools for a mathematical description, however, without going deeper into the technical details, which can be found in the literature given.  With this aim, the focus is on reactions, in which only
