Introduction to Nuclear Physics and Chemistry

An introduction to serious nuclear accident chemistry

A review of the chemistry occurring inside a nuclear power plant during a serious reactor accident is presented. This includes some aspects of the behavior of nuclear fuel, its cladding, cesium and iodine. This review concentrates on the chemistry of an accident in a water-cooled reactor loaded with uranium dioxide or mixed metal oxide fuel. Subjects: Chemistry; Environmental Chemistry; Inorgan...

: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type

abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...

Introduction to Biological Chemistry

H A P T E R O U T L IN E 1. Learn about the basic chemistry related to atoms and molecules. Understand the roles of orbitals and lone-pair electrons in a few common atoms (e.g., N, F, C, O) and comprehend nucleophilic/electrophilic attacks and their impact on oxidation, reduction, addition, and substitution reactions. 2. List and explain the importance of medicinal functional groups that common...

Introduction to Plasma Physics

These notes are intended to provide a brief primer in plasma physics, introducing common definitions, basic properties, and typical processes found in plasmas. These concepts are inherent in contemporary plasma-based accelerator schemes, and thus provide a foundation for the more advanced expositions that follow in this volume. No prior knowledge of plasma physics is required, but the reader is...
