from the core of a much larger galaxy, leaving a wake of ionized gas behind it.
It turns out that water contained in some minerals that get pulled down into the Earth due to plate tectonic activity could, under extreme pressures and temperatures, split up — liberating hydrogen and enabling the residual oxygen to combine with iron metal
from the core to create a novel high - pressure mineral, iron peroxide.
A key subproject in cognitive neuroscience, whose removal
from the core research program accelerated the attacks against the HBP last year, has been reinstated.

from the core.»
SoHO was launched on Dec. 2, 1995 to study the sun
from its core to the outer corona and the solar wind; the spacecraft continues to operate.
(B) The YTT cryptotephra layer is not visible in a SEM image (backscatter electron mode) of a thin section
from the core between 28.04 and 28.11 MBLF; however, the image confirms the lack of bioturbation or disturbance in the core at this depth and is evidence for anoxic bottom water conditions at this time.
If one broke, heat would no longer be removed
from the core and emergency measures would be needed to stop the core melting.
Earth generates a strong magnetic field extending
from the core out into space that shields the atmosphere and deflects harmful high - energy particles from the Sun and the cosmos.
This problem could be resolved if, for example, the core of the Sun were 10 per cent cooler than the theory of the solar interior requires, or if on the way
from the core of the Sun to the Earth solar neutrinos were «altered» in such a way as to make two - thirds undetectable.
Such instabilities can cause quickly moving charged particles called «fast ions» to escape
from the core of the plasma, which is corralled within machines known as tokamaks.
This motion is driven by the loss of heat
from the core and the solidification of the inner core.
It turns out that water contained in some minerals that get pulled down into Earth due to plate tectonic activity could, under extreme pressures and temperatures, split up — liberating hydrogen and enabling the residual oxygen to combine with iron metal
from the core to create a novel high - pressure mineral, iron peroxide.
In abstracts
from core medical journals, 33 percent reported p - values, and in the subset of randomized controlled clinical trials, nearly 55 percent reported p - values.
The billion - year cycle of molten rock rising
from the core - mantle boundary and falling from the crust — not unlike the motion of globules in a lava lamp — takes form, as do other geologic features of interest.
These extremely young, extremely distant galaxies blast out as much light as the entire Milky Way,
all from a core that is a millionth the Milky Way's diameter.
In fact, for nearly 20 years astronomers have been wondering about the origin of x-rays seen emanating
from the core of our galaxy.
Of this passage Lomborg writes, «This is exactly the kind of exposition which I try to counter in my book without any references Holdren manages to describe everything as going ever worse and even include into the environmental agenda concepts that are far removed
from its core, such as nuclear proliferation, terrorism, and economic recession from oil price hikes.»
«Seyfert» galaxies, which are all around us, are sort of miniquasars, producing a torrent of radiation
from their core that, though it's far less than a quasar's, is spectacular by ordinary galactic standards.
For instance, neutrinos stream out from the center of the sun as soon as they are produced, whereas a photon needs thousands of years to work its way out
from the core to the sun's brilliant surface.
The most recent addition to the tour, discovered just last year, involves what appears to be a giant plume of antimatter — a fountain of particles identical to ordinary matter except that they have the opposite electric charge — shooting up
from the core and straight out of the disk of the galaxy as far as 5,000 light - years, where the antimatter jet meets clouds of ordinary matter, and both are annihilated in a burst of energy.
«We were excited because our calculations showed that crystallization of silicon dioxide crystals
from the core could provide an immense new energy source for powering the Earth's magnetic field.»
In this picture, the engine behind Earth's interior processes is not heat
from the core but cooling at the planet's surface.
The jets act as pipes that transfer heat
from the core, and how exactly they're created isn't clear, he says.
«The behavioral changes can allow species to expand their range to novel marginal habitats that differ sharply
from the core habitat.»
Information obtained via single - cell sequencing from cells sampled
from each core indicate the likely location of a cancerous tumor (dotted lines encompassing cores 2, 3 and 6).
Limited by the era's computers and understanding of physics, Wilson's model relied on simplifications — such as the star being a perfect sphere — and incorrect assumptions about the behavior of very dense matter and how neutrinos move
from the core's interior to the crucial outer parts where the heating of the shock wave occurs.
Since the gases thin out away
from the core, star concentration should ease rapidly, and galaxies should exhibit sharp edges.

from the core — such as those in Orion, rising by midnight this month — would get left behind.
