TNA – The Facial Pain Association, a non-profit, volunteer organization, was founded in 1990 by a group of trigeminal neuralgia patients profoundly grateful for recovery from years of disabling pain. The organization now assists thousands of patients around the world. TNA has emerged as the world's leading resource for information and health care guidance for all people suffering from neuropathic facial pain. Both patients and health care professionals benefit from its programs of education, patient support and research. 4, record 1, English, - The%20Facial%20Pain%20Association

The Canadian Department of National Defence has developed a teleoperated, vehicle-mounted, multi-sensor system to detect anti-tank landmines on roads and tracks in peacekeeping operations. A key part of the system is a thermal neutron activation(TNA) sensor which is placed above a suspect location to within a 30 cm radius and confirms the presence of explosives via detection of the 10. 835 MeV [megaelectron volt] gamma ray associated with thermal neutron capture on N. 2, record 2, English, - thermal%20neutron%20activation%20sensor
