English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

Improved uniformity of the laser for-al spot profile is a necessary criterion for the success of high intensity laser fusion and to improve the quality of data from moderate intensity laser driven shock experiments in solids. Recently developed laser smoothing techniques rely on both temporal smoothing and thermal smoothing to produce uniform ablation pressures on the target surface. Thermal smoothing is not effective during the low intensity portion of a laser pulse and the resultant shock structure mirrors the residual laser nonuniformities. The impact of the first(nonuniform) shock can be diminished by using foam layers, a precursor flash, shallow angles of incidence, and by adiabatically compressing the target with a temporally long, slowly rising laser pulse.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
CONT

[...] il faut au départ et au cours de l'impulsion réaliser une interface aussi régulière que possible. Les irrégularités restantes ne pourront être qu'amplifiées au cours du temps (d'autres effets comme le lissage thermique viennent un peu atténuer le propos).

  • Internet and Telematics
CONT

These days more encyclopedias are sold in CD-ROM format than in paper. All contain numerous text articles, interactive timelines, maps, pictures, sound and video clips, animations, and tools for conducting key word searches. The most important feature of an electronic encyclopedia is the breadth and depth of information it contains and its suitability to your student's age and interests. The next most important criterion is its ability to search quickly and to cross-reference easily. Examine the quality of the text itself. An encyclopedia's text is more important to your child's success than its multimedia sparkle and flash.

CONT

Remember that the electronic encyclopedia is a tool to be used and a resource to be enjoyed. Have fun! Make the CD-ROM an everyday part of life.

Les chiffres de Britannica sont confidentiels, affirme ZDNet, mais le cybermédia indique qu'en France, les ventes papier de l'Encyclopeadia Universalis (contrôlée à 50% par Britannica) diminuent au profit de celles du CD-ROM.
