Research and development assessments for two inertial fusion energy (IFE) reactor design concepts developed in the Prometheus study are presented in this paper. The assessment here focuses on resolving the technical issues identified for the critical components unique to IFE: target, driver, and cavity/first wall. The two designs considered are based on heavy-ion and laser drivers.

introduction: due to the fact that nurses constitute the highest percentage of hospital staff and quality of health care is largely influenced by their performance, evaluation of the internal environment from their perspective can greatly indicate the improvement and the strength points of the hospital. this study aimed to clarify nurses’ view regarding the status of the internal environment co...

efficiency and effectiveness are two effective concepts in performance evaluation of each organization toward reaching to goals with minimum resource consumption. so, this research aims consideration of relationships between behavioral dimensions of job or that is called the topic of organizational behavior or psychology including job stress, job satisfaction, and job interest and job rotation ...

The increased sensitivity of immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) over prior electrophoretic methods has led to renewed interest in the study of free light chains. Here, we discuss problems associated with the identification of monoclonal free light chains (Bence Jones proteins) in urine. Besides reviewing the nature of the sample specimens and the assays themselves, we discuss the physiology, ...

The rationale for an expanded effort on the development of inertial fusion as an energy source is discussed. It is argued that there should be a two-pronged, complementary approach to fusion energy development over the next two to three decades: (1) Magnetic Fusion (MFE) via ITER and the supporting magnetic domestic program and (2) Inertial Fusion (IFE), a credible, affordable approach that exp...

educational organizations due to entry new competitors in this field, they are drawing a long-term vision for them. in order to achieve an acceptable point in this field, should be internal and external factors including of the challenges and potentials of the accelerator and the opportunities, and also examines the opportunities and then attempt to formulate the optimum strategies. in this pap...

objective: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties and factor structure of the matson evaluation of social skills with youngsters-ii (messy-ii) in a community population in iran. methods: the iranian version of the messy-ii was administered by interviewing care staff of all children and adolescents (n=355) with administratively defined intellectual disabilities ...
