I liked this book. As the preface states,‘‘Nuclear Physics is a subject basic to the curriculum of modern physics.’’This text does a fine job of making that point, incorporating quantum mechanics and quantum field theory to explain the physics of particles, the few body problem, and many body physics. Application of these principles to experiments as well as to the development of modern theories is nicely done. I think, however, that I prefer this book as a very useful reference, as opposed to a course textbook. The flow is not as even as students would like, but that is hard when trying to cover a well-established field for a broad audience. Although generally at a high level, the book is a bit uneven in deciding whether to include some background information, or to refer the reader to other sources. For example, the second-quantized annihilation and creation operators are used along with their relative phase factors ...

Each year, the American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and other government agencies, brings together the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and presents them in its Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update. The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policy makers, media professionals, clinicians, healthcare administrators, researchers, and others seeking the best available data on these conditions. Together, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke produce immense health and economic burdens in the United States and globally. The Statistical Update brings together in a single document up-to-date information on the core health behaviors and health factors that define cardiovascular health; a range of major ...

This paper presents cosmological results based on full-mission Planck observations of temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Our results are in very good agreement with the 2013 analysis of the Planck nominal-mission temperature data, but with increased precision. The temperature and polarization power spectra are consistent with the standard spatially-flat 6-parameter ΛCDM cosmology with a power-law spectrum of adiabatic scalar perturbations (denoted “base ΛCDM” in this paper). From the Planck temperature data combined with Planck lensing, for this cosmology we find a Hubble constant, H0 = (67.8 ± 0.9) km s-1Mpc-1, a matter density parameter Ωm = 0.308 ± 0.012, and a tilted scalar spectral index with ns = 0.968 ± 0.006, consistent with the 2013 analysis. Note that in this abstract we quote 68% confidence limits on measured parameters and 95 ...
