Progressive lenses (also called "no-line bifocals") offer a continuous, gradual change in prescription strength from the lower (reading correction) to the upper (distance correction) portion of the eyeglass lens, providing correction for all distances. Progressives lenses derive their name from the fact that they have progressively more "add" power from the top to the bottom of the lens.

An axial xenon oscillation model is developed for pressurized water reactor analysis. The model employs an equation system for axial difference parameters that is derived from xenon and iodine balance equations coupled with two-group, one-dimensional neutron diffusion equations. To treat nonlinear xenon flux-coupled terms, the spatial distributions of xenon, iodine, and flux are expanded by the Fourier sine series. 1, record 3, English, - axial%20xenon%20oscillation

Le système RIC mesure la distribution relative en 3D de la puissance à l'intérieur du cœur du réacteur avec une très bonne précision liée à un procédé de mesure interne au réacteur.

In a changing world, citizens and businesses across our continent are increasingly affected by the growing economic strength and the political and social instabilities of other countries and regions. The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) is a commitment by Canada, the United States and Mexico to work together to build a safer and more economically dynamic North America. While respecting the sovereignty and unique heritage, culture and laws of each country, the SPP complements the many initiatives at the root of the longstanding relations among them. It strengthens the ties that have shaped the North American partnership for decades, and outlines an agenda for greater cooperation in areas as diverse as security, transportation, the environment and public health. 1, record 15, English, - Security%20and%20Prosperity%20Partnership%20of%20North%20America

In contrast to the hard-nip machine calender, the supercalender characteristically converts part of the applied energy into heat through deformation of the soft rolls. Typically, about 25% of the drive power goes into roll heating. Until recently, this heating was viewed as undesirable because it reduced the life of conventional filled rolls. However, the development of modern "controlled temperature rolls" has made possible the utilization of heat for better control, particularly when optimizing production. 1, record 22, English, - controlled%20temperature%20roll
