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:
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“But while ignorance can make you insensitive, familiarity can also numb. Entering the second half-century of an information age, our cumulative knowledge has changed the level of what appalls, what stuns, what shocks.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
