Description
Summary:In this case, the astute reviewer, Aaron Novick, knew enough about the physics in the author's laboratory to be aware of gamma contamination in the neutron source and to adjust the dosimetry accordingly. The first paper is careful work by a serious, deserving young scientist, but it does not quite measure up to Genetics standards. Kimura's diffusion equation was bewilderingly complex, but he found a transformation that converted it into the simple equation for heat conduction, whose solution is well known and familiar to every physics student.
