The US Department of Energy is proposing to construct the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to embark on a program to achieve ignition and modest gain in the laboratory early in the next century. The NIF will use a > 1.8 MJ, 0.35 urn laser with 192 independent beams, a SO-fold increase over the energy of the Nova laser. System performance analyses suggest yields as great as 20 MJ may be achievab...

internal evaluation has started in 1995 in various educational groups of different medical universites, currently, more than 120 groups are involved in this project. the faculty members have a key role in the process as the main elements of internal evaluation. internal evaluation was not only helpful in identifying different practical aspects of education, but also had a prominent role in rais...

This study aims to determine the potential for increasing banana production in Gedang Village, Batuputih District, Sumenep Regency based on support of internal factors and external environmental Regency. The sample this as research subjects were 20 people taken from a population less than 100. data analysis used was IFE EFE matrix SWOT analysis. results showed that factor obtained weighted valu...

Sawan Radiation damage parameters in SiC/SiC composite structures are determined in both magnetic (MFE) and inertial (IFE) confinement fusion systems. Variations in the geometry, neutron energy spectrum, and pulsed natur...

Students’ evaluations of teaching (SETs) are currently the most commonly used method for evaluating teaching effectiveness in higher education institutions. They aid in evaluating the quality of faculty teaching and provide useful information for administrators, faculty, and students. The majority of SET instruments were developed based on faculty and/or administrators’ knowledge and experience...

The ultrastructural changes induced in mouse interfollicular epidermis (IFE) up to 4 weeks after a single application of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) are described. The increase in the thickness, number of nucleated cell layers, and mitotic index of IFE reverts to control levels 120 hr after treatment. The ultrastructural changes induced by TPA in the epidermal cells are consider...

Recently, turbidimetric immunoassays for detecting and quantifying and free light chains (FLC) have become available and are promoted as being more sensitive than immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) in detecting FLC monoclonal proteins. In this study, we assessed the ability of these turbidimetric assays to detect serum monoclonal proteins involving both free and heavy-chain-bound and light ch...

The hair follicles (HFs) and the interfollicular epidermis (IFE) of intact mature skin are maintained by distinct stem cell populations. Upon wounding, however, emigration of HF keratinocytes to the IFE plays a role in acute stages of healing. In addition to this repair function, rapidly cycling cells of the upper HF have been observed transiting to the IFE in neonatal skin. Here we report that...

Identifying the extent and nature of the creativity of new products is a key for innovation management. The revised Creative Solution Diagnosis Scale (CSDS) is a 27-item scale based on a theoretical model of functional creativity, consisting of five main criteria: Relevance & Effectiveness, Problematization, Propulsion, Elegance and Genesis. The CSDS offers potential for differentiated assessme...

BACKGROUND In a prospective study, three research groups at Hannover (H) and Munich (M) in Germany and Glasgow (G) in the United Kingdom collected data from motorcycle crashes between July 1996 and July 1998 to investigate head injury mechanisms in helmet-protected motorcyclists. METHODS The head lesions of motorcyclists with Abbreviated Injury Score-Head (AISHead) 2+ injuries and/or helmet i...
