The Institut Max von Laue-Paul Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble regularly
orga nizes workshops that deal with various applications of
neutrons in physics, chemistry, biology and materials science. The
workshop "Quantum Aspects of Molecular Motions in Solids" was
jointly organized by the Institut Laue Langevin and the Institut
fiir Festkorperforschung at the Kernforschungsan lage Jiilich and
took place in September 1986 in Grenoble. Tunneling phenomena in
molecular crystals were first observed with macro scopic methods
like specific heat experiments and later also with NMR. Fi nally,
the development of high resolution neutron scattering techniques
like neutron backscattering led to direct spectroscopic observation
of the tunnel split ground state. This breakthrough was achieved in
1975 at Jiilich. Since then the large variety of high-resolution
techniques available in combination with high neutron flux have
turned ILL into the leading laboratory in the field of tunneling
spectroscopy. Since 1980 regular meetings of scientists involved in
this topic have been organized every two years (Jiilich,
Braunschweig, Nottingham) and have led to an intense exchange of
ideas and experimental results. The present workshop is the fourth
of this series and the first with published proceedings presenting
the state of the art in this field. The eight review articles
introduce scientists not involved in the subject to the actual
discussion. Sessions on translational tunneling of light
interstitials in metals as well as on tunneling phenomena in
amorphous substances provide bridges to adjacent fields."
Fat from an early age, the author had an obese adolescence that
last into his 30s. Despite having lost more than 130 pounds three
times, he weighed 365 in October 1991, when he began accepting that
he might be a food addict, and undertaking the practices and
treatments designed for alcoholics. "Fat Boy Thin Man" relates what
it was like to grow up fat, what it was like to experience reliable
improvement in his health and lifestyle, and what about his
experience relates to others. The second line of his book assures
readers he isn't a guru; he shares what was shared with him by
others. "Fat Boy Thin Man" will delight readers who enjoy humorous,
engaging, real-life stories of redemption. But it will also serve
readers who suffer, or whose loved ones suffer, with obesity that
they have tried and failed to resolve repeatedly.
