Cohesive Energies and other Properties of Ionic Crystals—I. Alkali Halides
The lattice energies and other properties of ionic crystals have been
studied on the basis of a Lennard-Jones (12 : 6) potential form and the necessary equations derived. Experimental data for the inter ionic distances and lattice energies for such crystal have been used to give the values of the repulsive force parameter B and the van der Waals Parameter C, which in turn have been utilized to obtain lattice energies, compress abilities
and the coefficient of linear expansion. Satisfactory agreement is found between the experimental values and those calculated theoretically

On Markovian solutions to Markov Chain BSDEs
We study (backward) stochastic differential equations with noise coming from
a finite state Markov chain. We show that, for the solutions of these equations
to be `Markovian', in the sense that they are deterministic functions of the
state of the underlying chain, the integrand must be of a specific form. This
allows us to connect these equations to coupled systems of ODEs, and hence to
give fast numerical methods for the evaluation of Markov-Chain BSDEs

Radiology education in Europe: Analysis of results from 22 European countries.
AimTo assess the state of radiology education across Europe by means of a survey study.MethodsA comprehensive 23-item radiology survey was distributed via email to the International Society of Radiology members, national radiological societies, radiologists and medical physicists. Reminders to complete the survey were sent and the results were analyzed over a period of 4 mo (January-April 2016). Survey questions include length of medical school and residency training; availability of fellowship and subspecialty training; number of residency programs in each country; accreditation pathways; research training; and medical physics education. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze and summarize data.ResultsRadiology residency training ranges from 2-6 years with a median of 5 years, and follows 1 year of internship training in 55% (12 out of 22) European countries. Subspecialty fellowship training is offered in 55% (12 out of 22) European countries. Availability for specialization training by national societies is limited to eight countries. For nearly all respondents, less than fifty percent of radiologists travel abroad for specialization. Nine of 22 (41%) European countries have research requirements during residency. The types of certifying exam show variation where 64% (14 out of 22) European countries require both written and oral boards, 23% (5 out of 22) require oral examinations only, and 5% (1 out of 22) require written examinations only. A degree in medical physics is offered in 59% (13 out of 22) European countries and is predominantly taught by medical physicists. Nearly all respondents report that formal examinations in medical physics are required.ConclusionComparative learning experiences across the continent will help guide the development of comprehensive yet pragmatic infrastructures for radiology education and collaborations in radiology education worldwide
Esthetics with prosthetics in case of maxillary canine transposition: A clinical report
Transposition is a dental anomaly manifested by a positional interchange of two permanent teeth. The maxillary permanent canine usually transposes with the first premolar and occasionally with the lateral incisor. These are mainly genetically governed and are treated orthodontically if complete segment of tooth is present; in case of missing teeth, participation of cosmetic dentist is must. The present case report describes a situation where left canine to lateral incisor complete transposition was present along with a missing left central incisor. Esthetic rehabilitation of the “smile zone” was the major concern. Scrupulous treatment planning to esthetically contour transposed teeth according to their normal positions, i.e., transposed left canine to lateral incisor and transposed left lateral incisor to canine with replacement of missing tooth, was a challenge.
