Phase Stability and Phase Transformations in Plutonium and Plutonium-Gallium Alloys
The complexity of phase stability and transformations in plutonium alloys is reflected in the plutoniumgallium (Pu-Ga) phase diagram, which is perhaps the most complex of all binary systems. Although many investigations have explored phase equilibria, transformation systematics, and structure/property relations in the Pu-Ga system, many outstanding problems remain and new issues regularly appea...
متن کاملAging Effects in Plutonium Metal Pose an Interesting Puzzle
Aging effects in plutonium metal are of metallurgical and practical interest. The Dismantlement Program has provided a wide variety of plutonium samples from a large number of retired nuclear weapons , enabling the development of a comprehensive database of materials properties as a function of age. Data are providing a substantive statistical foundation for these properties as well. The primar...
متن کاملEffect of Physical Changes in Aging on Driving Performance
The growing population of older drivers has led to societal demands for the development of technologies better suited to the characteristics of older people. One effective way of addressing this situation is to examine closely the structure that causes the performance of older drivers and then use that information to develop technologies. As the first step toward understanding that structure in...
متن کاملAdapting to the Physical Changes of Aging with COPD
The prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is growing, and people are living with this disease well into older age. Little is known about how people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease adapt to aging, particularly the physical changes of aging. According to the Identity Process Theory, people are inclined to attribute age-related changes in physical functioning to a transito...
متن کاملMuscle Changes in Aging
UNLABELLED Muscle physiology in the aging athlete is complex. Sarcopenia, the age-related decrease in lean muscle mass, can alter activity level and affect quality of life. This review addresses the microscopic and macroscopic changes in muscle with age, recognizes contributing factors including nutrition and changes in hormone levels, and identifies potential pharmacologic agents in clinical t...
