An early Arabidopsis demonstration. Resolving a few issues concerning photorespiration.
One of the great discoveries of 20th century biology was the elucidation of the pathway of photosynthetic CO2 fixation by Calvin, Benson, and colleagues (18). Among the many loose ends that remained after the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle had been defined was a series of observations showing that when CO2 was supplied to higher plants in the light, glycolate, Gly, Ser, and several other...
متن کاملAlloy Design for a Fusion Power Plant
Fusion power is generated when hot deuterium and tritium nuclei react, producing alpha particles and 14 MeV neutrons. These neutrons escape the reaction plasma and are absorbed by the surrounding material structure of the plant, transferring the heat of the reaction to an external cooling circuit. In such high-energy neutron irradiation environments, extensive atomic displacement damage and tra...
متن کاملARC: A compact, high-field, fusion nuclear science facility and demonstration power plant with demountable magnets
The affordable, robust, compact (ARC) reactor is the product of a conceptual design study aimed at reducing the size, cost, and complexity of a combined fusion nuclear science facility (FNSF) and demonstration fusion Pilot power plant. ARC is a ∼ 200−250 MWe tokamak reactor with a major radius of 3.3 m, a minor radius of 1.1 m, and an on-axis magnetic field of 9.2 T. ARC has rare earth barium c...
متن کاملNuclear Power Plant Safety
In the last decade nuclear reactors have proven to be a source of electrical energy economically competitive with conventional means of power production. With the resulting increase in orders for nuclear power stations there has been a corresponding increase in public awareness of the safety and environmental aspects of these facilities. This public awareness has been evidenced by the number of...
متن کاملFusion power core engineering for the ARIES-ST power plant
ARIES-ST is a 1000 MWe fusion power plant based on a low aspect ratio ‘spherical torus’ (ST) plasma. The ARIESST power core was designed to accommodate the unique features of an ST power plant, to meet the top-level requirements of an attractive fusion energy source, and to minimize extrapolation from the fusion technology database under development throughout the world. The result is an advanc...
