Record 1 2015-12-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Nuclear Physics
DEF

A method of chemical analysis based on the identification and measurement of characteristic radiations of nuclides formed by irradiation.

OBS

activation analysis: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
  • Physique nucléaire
DEF

Méthode d'analyse chimique qui a pour base l'identification et la mesure des rayonnements caractéristiques des nucléides formés par irradiation.

OBS

analyse par activation : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Química analítica
  • Física nuclear
OBS

Técnica muy sensible para identificar y medir muy pequeñas cantidades de distintos elementos. Se expone una muestra a un bombardeo de neutrones en un reactor nuclear a fin de producir radioisótopos de los elementos estables.

English

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

Prompt-gamma activation analysis(PGAA or PGNAA) is a nuclear analytical technique for non-destructive determination of elemental and isotopic compositions. The sample is irradiated in a neutron beam and the gamma-rays from the radiative capture are detected. All elements can be analyzed(except helium), without any prior information on the analyte.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
  • Physique nucléaire
CONT

Il existe deux types d'installations suivant que l'irradiation et la mesure sont simultanées ou non : - dans le premier cas, l'échantillon est placé à l'extérieur du réacteur, par exemple sur le trajet d'un guide à neutrons; le détecteur est placé à proximité et enregistre la radioémission des isotopes formés en continu. Il s'agit alors d'analyse par activation de gamma prompts (AAGP) [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Embryology
  • Reproduction (Medicine)
CONT

Embryo splitting is similar to what happens when identical twins are produced naturally. When the cells forming an embryo start to divide, they are split into two or more groups and implanted into the wombs of foster mothers, where the embryos continue to develop independently into offspring. In contrast, the technique of embryonic cell nuclear transfer involves the introduction of a donor embryonic cell into an unfertilized egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed. The donor cell and enucleated egg are subjected to stimuli causing fusion and activation resulting in a reconstructed embryo.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Embryologie
  • Reproduction (Médecine)
DEF

Embryon qui résulte du transfert de noyau dans un ovocyte énucléé.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Embriología
  • Reproducción (Medicina)
DEF

Embrión creado por transferencia nuclear, introduciendo un carioplasto en un citoplasto que por lo general procede de un individuo diferente.

CONT

La clonación por medio de la transferencia nuclear de célula somática utiliza una célula somática o célula del cuerpo de la persona a ser clonada. El núcleo de esta célula es introducido en una célula huevo cuyo núcleo ha sido removido. El resultante embrión reconstruido es entonces introducido a una matriz.
