Further Information
Major European projects aiming at the production of extremely exotic isotopes (which should reveal new features of physics) need extraction design optimization tools that can compensate the extreme brief life of the sought nuclei. RIBO is a transport code specifically written to address the design of such projects because it includes the major phenomena involved in the transport of radioisotopes: diffusion, effusion, ionization and ion transport.

Famous quotes containing the word information:
“In the information age, you don’t teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he’d have a talk show.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
