The lead-cooled fast reactor is a nuclear reactor design that use molten lead or lead-bismuth eutectic coolant. These materials can be used as the primary coolant because they have low neutron absorption and relatively low melting points. Neutrons are slowed less by interaction with these heavy nuclei (thus not being neutron moderators) so ...
Leadscrew. A leadscrew (or lead screw ), also known as a power screw [1] or translation screw, [2] is a screw used as a linkage in a machine, to translate turning motion into linear motion. Because of the large area of sliding contact between their male and female members, screw threads have larger frictional energy losses compared to other ...
The prism fusion range ( PFR) or fusional vergence amplitude is a clinical eye test performed by orthoptists, optometrists, and ophthalmologists to assess motor fusion, specifically the extent to which a patient can maintain binocular single vision ( BSV) in the presence of increasing vergence demands. Motor fusion is largely accounted to ...
That number is expected to triple by 2050. As with any illness, an early diagnosis can potentially lead to a better outcome. ... Minn., and the lead author of this study in a press release. ...
New data from the Department of Labor showed nearly 1.84 million claims were filed in the week ending June 22, up from 1.82 million the week prior. Meanwhile, the 4-week moving average of weekly ...
The former “child actress” — as she likes to be called — told Business Insider that there was “a lot of paternal energy” on the 1989 movie’s set, but not with Costner, now 69. “I ...
The prism cover test ( PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. [1] It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1]
The Antarctic ice sheet is melting in a new, worrying way not taken into account by current models of future sea level rise, according to a new study.
