Energy gain of wetted-foam implosions with auxiliary heating for inertial fusion studies by Paddock, RW, Li, TS, Kim, E, Lee, JJ, Martin, H, Ruskov, RT, Hughes, S, Rose, SJ, Murphy, CD, Scott, RHH, Bingham, R, Garbett, W, Elisseev, VV, Haines, BM, Zlystra, AB, Campbell, EM, Thomas, CA, Goffrey, T, Arber, TD, Aboushelbaya, R, Von der Leyen, MW, Wang, RHW, James, AA, Ouatu, I, Timmis, R, Howard, S, Atonga, E, Norreys, PA

“…Simulations of auxiliary heating for a range of implosions are presented in support of this and demonstrate that this heating can have significant benefit for high gain implosions, being most effective when the burn-averaged temperature is between 5 and 20 keV.…”

Unknowing a southern life: writing around the abyss by Collins, K

“…One is a stick chart, a navigational aid from Jaluit Atoll in the Marshall Islands, made from thin strips of wood and seashells (see Figure 5.1). The other is a water carrier from the Northern Cape Province in South Africa, an ostrich egg engraved with shapes and schematic figures such as antelopes and ostriches, into which has been cut a lateral hole (see Figure 5.2). …”

Thermal analysis of failed-batch palm oil by differential scanning calorimetry by Che Man, Y.B., Swe, P.Z.

“…Low-T peaks were found almost invariably stationary at -5.1 to -5.6°C, and high-T peaks varied depending on the saturation level of the oil. …”

A lead(II) ion selective electrode via a metal complex of poly(hydroxamic acid) by Anuar, K., Hamdan, S.

“…The electrode gave near Nerstian response over the concentration range 4 × 10-5-1 × 10-2M lead(II). The detection limit of the electrode is approximately 4 × 10-6M and the electrode works well in the pH range 4.5-6.0. …”
