This is a write-up of introductory remarks that I made at the UIC conference in honor of Lawrence Ein's 60th birthday. It presents an informal survey of some of Ein's work, interspersed with stories and reminiscences.
A survey is made of selected topics in flavour physics where real progress is expected in the coming half-decade, paying particular attention to those where New Physics signals may appear.
I published an interview of Leo Breiman in Statistical Science [Olshen (2001)], and also the solution to a problem concerning almost sure convergence of binary tree-structured estimators in regression [Olshen (2007)]. The former summarized…
Bruno Pontecorvo was a great physicist who had enormous impact on the development of neutrino physics. His contribution to neutrino physics is briefly reviewed.Some recollections about his personality are also given.
Some basic sociophysical notions are described by a physicist, tentatively for a sociologically-oriented reader.
A principle possibility for the existence of a multiplet including the components with the different masses is indicated. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Anna Yakovlevna Gelyukh (Kalaida).
In the following article a Ph.D. student of V.I.~Arnold gives a personal account on his teacher who unexpectedly passed away earlier this year.
This article contains reminiscences of the collaborative work that Richard Arnowitt and I did together which stretched over many years and encompasses several areas of particle theory. The article is an extended version of my talk at the…
