Record 4 2012-01-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Physics
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
DEF

In a nuclear reactor, a situation allowing slowed-down neutrons to avoid a cross-section resonance range.

CONT

The flux depression and resonance self-shielding are important factors in deterministic transport theory, and need to be taken into account when cross sections are condensed into discrete energy groups … It should also be noted that resonance self-shielding is a phenomenon that does not present itself to individual neutrons. The collective flux depression effect is consistently taken into account in the simulation without additional procedures.

CONT

… resonance self-shielding is rigorously calculated, for all fission products, through effective cross-section formalism.

Key term(s)
  • resonance self shielding

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique nucléaire
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
DEF

Phénomène permettant aux neutrons ralentis dans un réacteur d’éviter un domaine de résonance de section efficace.

OBS

Les discontinuités locales, brusques et parfois importantes, des propriétés neutroniques de la matière nucléaire sont dues, pour l’essentiel, à la nature résonnante des sections efficaces microscopiques des isotopes et à la distribution spatiale des matériaux. La prise en compte, fidèle et précise, de ces variations n’est possible actuellement que dans les calculs probabilistes, qui admettent une description continue des propriétés énergétiques et spatiales des milieux. Dans les calculs déterministes, ces inhomogénéités sont lissées, en espace et en énergie, dans les processus de mise en groupes et d’homogénéisation des sections efficaces.

Key term(s)
  • auto-protection des résonances

  • Hygiene and Health
  • Scientific Research
OBS

The proposed primary goal of CHRIMCY are to initiate, support and disseminate excellence in peer-reviewed research encompassing the critical stages of life, including preconception, pregnancy, fetal and newborn development, and growth and development throughout childhood and adolescence. These primary goals define the nature of research that would be supported by the proposed institute, and clearly distinguish this institute from others that may form within the CIHR. Research would be conducted in the fields of basic biomedical science, clinical and applied health, health services and health care systems, and population health, with a particular focus on the determinants of health. The proposed main objectives of CHRIMCY is to reinforce individual investigator initiatives by aiding in the formation of networks of research teams that would cross disciplines, institutions, regions and the country. This includes providing mechanisms for researchers to work across the institutes of the CIHR. CHRIMCY would have the unique mandate and framework to identify reserach themes and to harness reserach expertise cross the country, and to focus on priority issues affecting the health of mothers, children and youth.

CONT

The ribbon bridge is a floating, modular asset with an integral superstructure and floating supports. Individual bays are joined to form rafts or bridges in support of river crossing operations. Ribbon bridges and rafts provide the maneuver commander with a reliable and responsive means to cross wet gap obstacles from the march... The ribbon bridge system consists of three major components : Bridge transporters, interior bays, Ramp bays. Although BEBs are not a component of the ribbon bridge system, boats are required for the propulsion of ribbon rafts, as well as for the assembly and anchorage of ribbon rafts and bridges.

Wafer bow is one of the deformities that can cause a wafer to to lose dimensional integrity. This becomes very important with high-resolution photolithography(3 to 4 um line widths or less). A bow gauge is used, either as part of a complete wafer inspection system, or as an individual test piece. A bowed wafer is one whose cross section in one direction is concave or convex.

OBS

The "u" in the expression "um" should be the lower case Geek letter "mu" which is the metric prefix meaning 1/1,000,000 th.
