Direct- and indirect-driven reactor targets

Heavy ion driven reactor-size double shell inertial fusion targets

Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is considered as an alternative to Magnetic Confinement Fusion to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion. The main goal is to exploit the energy released from thermonuclear fusion reactions to produce electric energy. Heavy ion beams were proposed in 1976 as one of the possible drivers in ICF. The method consists in igniting few milligrams of deuterium-tritium...

Direct and Indirect Representation

How much can a constituency influence the power of its representative in the legislature? We develop a theoretical model of the constituency basis of legislator influence. The key players in the model are interest groups who may receive targeted transfers from the legislature. The model predicts that the amount of transfers that such groups receive is increasing in their ability to help a party...

Direct and Indirect Belief

Direct and Indirect Validation

To evaluate ultrasonographically determined intima-media thickness as a measure of early atherosclerosis, three studies were performed. Ultrasound measurements of intimamedia thickness in the carotid artery were directly validated by comparing the same thickness measured by light microscopy. The values were closely correlated (r=.82, P<.001). Intima-media thickness determined by light microscop...
