Arab news media attributed a wave of domestic violence and divorce to the series’ handsome lead actor, and his character’s romantic deportment. This article combines con

Nuclear Structure and Exotic Decays; Doubly-Magic 56Ni and Semi-Magic 58Ni

The nuclear structure of two nuclei, 56Ni and 58Ni, has been studied using fusion-evaporation reaction experiments. The experiments were performed at the Lawrence Berkeley and Argonne National Laboratories in the U.S.A. The number of known spherical and deformed states in 56Ni has been significantly extended. One case of prompt proton emission from a well-deformed excited state into the ground st
