We study the viability and resilience of languages, using a simple dynamical model of two languages in competition.Assuming that public action can modify the prestige of a language in order to avoid language extinction, we analyze two cases: (i) the prestige can only take two values, (ii) it can take any value but its le emt multitool 2.0 change at
Photon and proton induced fission on heavy nuclei at intermediate energies
We present an analysis nailah american idol of fission induced by intermediate energy protons or photons on actinides.The 660 MeV proton induced reactions are on 241Am, 238U, and 237Np targets and the Bremmstrahlung-photons with end-point energies at 50 MeV and 3500 MeV are on 232Th and 238U targets.The study was performed by means of the Monte Car
