`Prospector' Elm

Lunar Prospector: overview.

Lunar Prospector is providing a global map of the composition of the moon and analyzing the moon's gravity and magnetic fields. It has been in a polar orbit around the moon since 16 January 1998. Neutron flux data show that there is abundant H, and hence probably abundant water ice, in the lunar polar regions. Gamma-ray and neutron data reveal the distribution of Fe, Ti, and other major and tra...

ELM physics and ELM mitigation in ITER

Edge Localised Modes are characteristic of the high performance, H-mode plasmas that are required for the attainment of Q = 10/500MW fusion power in the first phase of ITER operation. The energy released by a type I ELM, in good confinement plasmas, is typically 510% of the plasma stored energy; with low collisionality plasmas at the upper end of the range. Dimensional analysis, experiment and ...

Profile of PROSPECTOR

Category 1 – General Domain This is a system in the geology domain. Main General Function PROSPECTOR is an expert system designed for decision-making problems in mineral exploration. It aids geologists in evaluating the favorability of an exploration site or region for occurrences of ore deposits of particular types. Once a site has been identified, PROSPECTOR can also be used for drilling-site...

Elm trees and elm leaf beetles: patterns of herbivory

New elm hopes

those of Brazil and Congo, and their biological diversity is unique. But logging is putting the forest ecosystems under unprecedented pressure — between 1990 and 2005, Indonesia lost 28 million hectares of forest, most of it virgin forest. The government has banned the export of unprocessed logs from the country but timber is regularly smuggled out via Malaysia and Singapore for processing in o...
