History of clinical transplantation
How transplantation came to be a clinical discipline can be pieced together by perusing two volumes of reminiscences collected by Paul I. Terasaki in 1991-1992 from many of the persons who were directly involved. One volume was devoted to the discovery of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), with particular reference to the human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) that are widely used today for tissue matching.1 The other focused on milestones in the development of clinical transplantation.2 All the contributions described in both volumes can be traced back in one way or other to the demonstration in the mid-1940s by Peter Brian Medawar that the rejection of allografts is an immunological phenomenon.3,4 © 2008 Springer New York
Cryogenic target development for fast ignition with Z-pinch-driven fuel assembly
We are developing an alternative approach to
indirect-drive fast ignition fusion targets in which a liquid cryogenic fuel
layer is condensed in situ from a low pressure external gas supply and confined
between a thick outer ablator shell and a thin inner shell. The shape and
surface quality of the liquid fuel layer is determined entirely by the
characteristics of the bounding shells. Liquid fuel targets of this type
have a number of potential advantages including greatly reduced temperature
control requirements and drastically reduced cost and complexity of the
cryogenic support system compared to -layed DT targets. This liquid
fuel concept is particularly appropriate for a hemispherical capsule
configuration with single-sided x-ray drive by a z-pinch source. Technology
issues for concentric-shell liquid cryogenic target development and progress
in thin inner hemispherical shell fabrication are discussed
