Forums, postings and threads

Click on the Forum title, e.g. on the "Forums by Category" page, to read a sequence of postings to the Forum and its threads all in one page. If you are only interested in one thread or the thread following a specific posting, click the thread or the posting, which takes you to a smaller page, which contains only the part you are interested in and may be easier to navigate.

Layout of the posting thread(s)

The posting threads can be shown with/without the text of the postings ("Inline depth"). In addition the depth of the thread can be controlled ("Outline depth"). For both cases several values are provided, which can be toggled. Note that the displayed values are those, which can be chosen, they do not correspond to the actual display status of the thread(s).

Show subscribers

Click "Show subscribers" to get the List of all subscribers, who receive e-mail from postings to this Forum, if they have not explictly unsubscribed from a posting thread. This includes:

Subscribers to the forum
Explicit subscribers to the posting or any of its ancestors
The author of the posting (if he has not unsubscribed)
The authors of any ancestor posting (if they have not unsubscribed)

Some browsers display old pages from the cache

Some browsers (e.g. Firefox) display a page from the cache even though the page has been updated. As a result, one may not get the latest messages in the forum's outline or the logon ID of the previous session appears on the upper right corner. If one suspects that he or she does not get the latest content of a page, try clearing up the personal data from the browser's cache as the following:

Tools -> Clear Private Data -> Clear Private Data (from browser Firefox)

Tools -> Delete Private Data (from browser Opera)

then reflesh the current page to get the latest content.

Details on "Inline depth" and "Outline depth"

Threads and the follow-up messages are numbered. There is one line per posting, normally starting with the posting number. The URLs of a posting and its responses reflect the depth of the follow-up postings. Watch the URLs to see how this is done. Depending on the chosen display options, the thread-display may be incomplete; the number of messages at the next level is, however, displayed, e.g. "…3 message(s)". You may not see all contributors unless you choose "All".

Messages are "chained" if there are only replies at the first level, i.e. 1/1.html, 1/1/1.html etc. In case of "chained" messages the message number is replaced by the icon and there is no indentation.

Inline: Display the subject line only or also the text of the posting(s); for the choice "All" the "Outline" choices are switched off.

Dear Vladimir,

Probably I have not given more details in my previous message. My concern about G4NucleiPropertiesTable class. In particular in previews version of the class some of the functions were declared as a 'public'. In current version of the same class these function have been changed to a 'private'. See below '<< HERE the DECLARATION' comments:

Latest version of G4NucleiPropertiesTable class:

 71 class G4NucleiPropertiesTable 
 72 {
 73 private:
 74   
 75   // Default constructor - this class should exist only once!
 76   G4NucleiPropertiesTable(){};
....
 88   friend class G4NucleiProperties;  
 89 
 90 private: // << HERE the DECLARATION
 91 
 92   // Operation: GetMassExcess
 93   static G4double GetMassExcess(G4int Z, G4int A); 
 94 
 95   // Operation: GetNuclearMass
 96   static G4double GetNuclearMass(G4int Z, G4int A);
 97 
 98   // Operation: GetBindingEnergy
 99   static G4double GetBindingEnergy(G4int Z, G4int A);
100 
101   // Operation: GetBetaDecayEnergy
102   static G4double GetBetaDecayEnergy(G4int Z, G4int A);
103 
104   // Operation: GetAtomicMass .. in Geant4 Energy units!
105   static G4double GetAtomicMass(G4int Z, G4int A);
106 
107   // Is the nucleus (A,Z) in table?
108   static G4bool IsInTable(G4int Z, G4int A);
109 
110   static G4int MaxZ(G4int A);
111   static G4int MinZ(G4int A);

Previous version of G4NucleiPropertiesTable class:

 70 class G4NucleiPropertiesTable 
 71 {
 72 private: // << HERE the DECLARATION
 73   
 74   // Default constructor - this class should exist only once!
 75   G4NucleiPropertiesTable(){};
....
 84   // Other Operations 
 85  public: // With Description
 86 
 87   // Operation: GetMassExcess
 88   static G4double GetMassExcess(G4int Z, G4int A); 
 89 
 90   // Operation: GetNuclearMass
 91   static G4double GetNuclearMass(G4int Z, G4int A);
 92 
 93   // Operation: GetBindingEnergy
 94   static G4double GetBindingEnergy(G4int Z, G4int A);
 95 
 96   // Operation: GetBetaDecayEnergy
 97   static G4double GetBetaDecayEnergy(G4int Z, G4int A);
 98 
 99   // Operation: GetAtomicMass .. in Geant4 Energy units!
100   static G4double GetAtomicMass(G4int Z, G4int A);
101 
102   // Is the nucleus (A,Z) in table?
103   static G4bool IsInTable(G4int Z, G4int A);
104 
105   static G4int MaxZ(G4int A);
106   static G4int MinZ(G4int A);

So, my question are you going to keep these functions as a 'private'? If so, would you suggest a 'work around' for this problem? I have found that the same functions are available in the G4NucleiProperties class, is it safe to access the desired information via G4NucleiProperties class instead of G4NucleiPropertiesTable class?
