Anno L - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2017 La crittografia quantistica come occasione per introdurre alcune proprietà fondamentali dei sistemi quantistici
The article describes a teaching proposal in which some fundamental properties of quantum systems are presented through the development of quantum cryptography protocols. The idea is the use of these properties as operational tools in a context that can stimulate students’ curiosity and interest. […]
Anno XXXVI - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2003 La cura delle metastasi epatiche diffuse mediante il metodo TAOrMINA
TAOrMINA (Advanced Treatment of Organs by Neutronic Irradiation and Autotransplantation) is a technique developed at the University of Pavia for treating diffuse cancer in explantable organs. Neutron capture is the most selective among the treatments based on irradiation. First the affected cells are enriched in 10B, […]
