Based on the conceptual design of Laser Driven IFE Power Plant, the technical and physical issues have been examined. R&D on key issues that affect the feasibility of power plant have been proceeded taking into account the collaboration in the field of laser driver, fuel pellet, reaction chamber and system design. It is concluded that the technical feasibility of IFE power plant seems to be rea...

This report contains a summary of the 2 Research Coordination Meeting for the Coordinated Research Project entitled, “The Elements of Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) Power Plants,” held at the IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria, from 4 to 7 November 2003. The goal of the project is to promote and support international collaboration on various aspects of IFE power plants with a focus on addressing ...

A novel Immersed-Finite-Element Particle-in-Cell (IFE-PIC) simulation tool is presented in this paper for plasma surface interaction where charged plasma particles are represented by a number of simulation particles. The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method is one of the major particle models for plasma simulation, which utilizes a huge number of simulation particles and hence provides a first-princip...

In this paper, an adaptive mesh refinement technique is developted and analyzed for the non-conforming immersed finite element (IFE) method proposed in [25]. The IFE method was developed for solving the second order elliptic boundary value problem with interfaces across which the coefficient may be discontinuous. The IFE method was based on a triangulation that does not need to fit the interfac...

Immunofixation is a standard method for detecting monoclonal immunoglobulins and characterizing its isotype. Recently clonality can also be determined by using immunoglobulin heavy chain /light chain immunoassays – “Hevylite” HLC. Availability of antibodies which bind to conformational epitopes spanning the junctional regions between bound κ or λ light chains and their respective heavy chain pa...

BACKGROUND It is common practice in most chemical pathology laboratories for reflective immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) to occur following the detection or suspicion of a paraprotein on serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP). The chemical pathology laboratory at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital (IALCH) in Durban, South Africa, is currently the only non-private laboratory in the KwaZulu...

Research and development assessments for two inertial fusion energy (IFE) reactor design concepts developed in the Prometheus study are presented in this paper. The assessment here focuses on resolving the technical issues identified for the critical components unique to IFE: target, driver, and cavity/first wall. The two designs considered are based on heavy-ion and laser drivers.

Organizations without strategy are like a ships without a compass. The purpose of this study was to Codification a mission statement and strategies developtnem of Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences Kharazmi University in Horizon 1404. Statistical research samples were 15 persons that included the administrators, active and Physical Education experts who were aware of the situation...

The increased sensitivity of immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) over prior electrophoretic methods has led to renewed interest in the study of free light chains. Here, we discuss problems associated with the identification of monoclonal free light chains (Bence Jones proteins) in urine. Besides reviewing the nature of the sample specimens and the assays themselves, we discuss the physiology, ...
