This technique is an integral part of the orthopae­ dic and trauma surgeon's armamentarium for the treatment of fractures and non-unions. The manual describes osteosynthesis techniques which can be performed with cables after an introduction which includes a brief history of wires and ca­ bles in medicine. Biomechanical data comparing tensile strengths, cerclage wire and wire cables provide a scientific basis for the use of this technique. The main section of the text describes the application of cables in the treat­ ment of patella and olecranon fractures, in addition to its use in ankle joint and pilon fractures. This technique has also been used by the authors for the treat­ ment of acetabular fractures and in performing osteotomies at the knee level. The manual is well illustrated and contains explanatory illustrations and photographs for each of the techniques described. For orthopaedists and trau­ ma surgeons not familiar with the many applications of cable osteosyntheses, this text will be a welcome addition to their library. Andrew]. Weiland, MD, Professor of Orthopaedic and Plastic Surgery at Cornell University Medical College, Attending Orthopaedic Surgeon, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY, USA Foreword- Reiner Labitzke had completed his surgical training at the time he applied for the vacant position of a senior registrar at the Department of Trauma Surgery in March 1976, 1 year after I had been elected chairman of the Traumatology De­ partment and Director of the University Clinic in Essen. Being an "AO clinic" we followed strictly the AO philosophy with regard to clinical application of the newly developed operative methods for fracture fixation as well as to basic re­ search and scientific analysis of fracture healing and bone remodeling under modified biomechanical conditions. While interviewing Reiner Labitzke I was attracted by his enthusiastic dedi­ cation to biomechanical research projects. His constructive criticism of the clas­ sic tension band technique of fracture fIxation had led him already to a new con­ cept of bipolar compression by lateral tension banding. Disappointed by a high rate of instability and delayed union of olecranon fractures treated with the AO technique of placing the prestressed wire furthest from the load axis, we changed to Labitzke's technique of bilateral cable tension banding, which proved to be the perfect solution to our instability problems. During the following years, from 1976 -1980, Reiner Labitzke successfully studied the fields of biomechanics and metallurgy. Besides his daily work as a surgeon, his valuable conceptional input was rightly felt to merit recognition. He developed a new method of plate stabilization of flail chest injuries, intro­ duced a "sleeve-rope closure" of median sternotomy in open heart surgery, modified bone instruments and implants in accordance with biomechanical re­ sults from the basic laboratory, and evaluated the methods developed by careful clinical evaluation of the patients during their initial treatment and follow up. The "Manual of Cable Osteosyntheses" is an abstract of his biomechanical re­ search and a comprehensive report of the remarkable clinical results he achieved within 20 years of operative fracture fixation. It can be recommended to surgeons specialized in trauma and orthopedic surgery, for their routine work and as advice in special cases. Univ.-Prof (em.) Dr. med. K.-P. Schmit-Neuerburg, Essen - - - - - - - - Foreword- - I find this book by Reiner Labitzke on the use of steel cables to repair bone de­ fects fascinating because it shows how the excellent options for using steel ca­ bles in the field of technology can be implemented in medicine. It is about na­ ture and human beings and the use of technical devices in life. It says in the Bible: "And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good;' But is nature always good and always effective? Is bone good? It breaks if it is subjected to extreme overloading. It is not ideal. No one would ever design the shock strut of an aeroplane or a bicycle frame using artificial bone. Human beings cannot exist without nature, both animate and inanimate, and nature is therefore good, at least for human beings. However, we can also ask the opposite question, one that is quite rightly a central issue in our day and age: Are human beings good for nature? We invent houses, weapons, vehicles for use on land, in the air and in space without any relation to nature. We are afraid of the forces of nature. If nature is very good, why not imitate it? It is now very popular to say that we should take nature as our guide. Of course, we may imitate nature, but it requires skill. "Our new design was inspired by nature" is something you often read, or even "Frei Otto studied spider webs and was thus able to build his wide-span roofs with thin nets of steel cables, such as the roof for the Olympic Stadium in Munich;' Such statements are frequently made in books about bionics, but they are usually wrong. Spider webs did not serve as a model, not even subconsciously. My roofs were built using the particular features of steel wire cables and the existing tech­ niques used to construct cranes and suspension bridges, combined with the age-old production methods for tents and sails, and improved on the basis of new theoretical models of how to minimise the amount of material and energy required. In the 1960S, when the first extremely thin, very wide-span nets hung in the air, the biologists involved in spider research recognised the similarity. Zoolo­ gists, architects, engineers and cable specialists compared ropes, knots, founda­ tions and anchor points and did in fact discover real similarities between the webs spun by spiders and the nets constructed by architects. Both bear loads, are elastic, relatively fixed, are made of very thin, high -tensile, flexible elements and have a similar shape. However, spiders spin their webs to catch insects as they always have done ac­ cording to genetically anchored construction plans, while we continue to im­ prove the construction oflarge net roofs to protect us against the rain and cold using the knowledge obtained in technology and architecture. Little has changed in reality, but all those involved have learned from each other. The zo- X Foreword Frei Otto ologists have increased their understanding of human technology, while the ar­ chitects have increased their understanding of the constructions found in na­ ture. That is the first step towards regarding nature as a whole. Bone is a part of nature, a part of human beings.

    NuPECC Handbook 2004 e lu Fifth Edition :B ur lo Co ge pa ed er numb Sponsored by CEC DGXII odd- under Contract Number HPRI-CT-1999-40004 ook ndb Ha CC PE Nu 3 Introduction The fourth edition of the NuPECC Handbook on "International Access to Nuclear Physics Facilities in Europe" was published in December 1998, exactly six years ago. In the meanwhile, many developments have occurred on the nuclear physics landscape in Europe. Some facilities have been upgraded and others have ceased to exist. Also directors, facility managers and contact persons have in many cases been replaced during this period. With NuPECC's stated objectives to promote collaboration in nuclear science through the promotion of nuclear physics and its trans-disciplinary use and to define a network of complementary facilities within Europe and encourage optimisation of their usage, NuPECC decided it was time to have an update of the NuPECC Handbook to provide the European nuclear physics community with the most recent information on nuclear physics facilities in Europe, and how to apply for their usage. This fifth edition of NuPECC Handbook has an extensive section on facilities in Europe giving details on accelerators, instrumentation, and coordinates of di- e lu rectors, facility managers and contact persons. Other relevant information for outside users is given. Another section provides information on funding agencies :B ur and research councils as well as nuclear physics institutes in member countries of lo NuPECC. Co NuPECC is an Expert Committee of the European Science Foundation (ESF). The terms of reference of NuPECC and its current members are given in the following pages.

    November 27, 2012 Dear Members of the NSAC Subcommittee on the Implementation of the Long Range Plan: We the undersigned 824 members of the FRIB Users Organization are writing to express the importance of the timely completion of the FRIB project. FRIB is a central component of our future research plans and will enable forefront research and discovery into the nature of atomic nuclei, the origin of elements in WKHFRVPRVWHVWVRIQDWXUH¶VIXQGDPHQWDOODZVDQGVRFLHWDO applications of isotopes. The exciting science case for FRIB and the other rationale for its completion are summarized in the document "FRIB: Opening New Frontiers in Nuclear Science" that we submitted to you in September. The field of nuclear science now encompasses a broad and exciting scientific landscape. Within this landscape, the study of nuclei remains a vital component of the field. Major discoveries are on the horizon into the interactions that govern the properties of nuclei and in the understanding of nuclear processes that drive astrophysical environments. It is likely that other unexpected discoveries will accompany the vast new view of nuclear systems with extreme neutron-to-proton ratios made available by the next generation of rare isotope facilities. The 2007 Long Range Plan outlined the steps needed to achieve a vibrant future for nuclear physics in the U.S. The plan envisions a program where QCD phenomena, nuclei, and fundamental symmetries are studied. It also describes the set of capabilities required to achieve this vision. Specifically, the LRP recognized that a new capability, FRIB, was needed in the area of nuclear structure and nuclear DVWURSK\VLFVDQGFDOOHGWKLVQHHG³PRVWDFXWH´)5,%LVWKH second priority of the 2007 Long Range Plan (the first for new construction) and the first recommendation of the 2012 National Research Council study of Nuclear Physics.
