Sentences with phrase «low plasma densities»

Not exact matches

It's true that space is a vacuum, but it's an imperfect vacuum because it contains a low density of particles like clouds of interstellar dust, space plasma, and cosmic rays.

The next important milestone experiment involves using a deuterium — deuterium low - density plasma mix.

In addition, antennas tuned to the right plasma densities can be sensitive to lower radio frequencies while remaining unresponsive to the higher frequencies used by most radars.

Based upon this, we look forward to great acceleration of both the fundaments and the application of atmospheric pressure low - density plasma research.

By being able to measure electron density with high accuracy in atmospheric pressure low - temperature plasma, it is no longer necessary to rely solely upon experience and trial and error.

We know approximately how much of certain atoms must be made in a given type of star, says Mac Low, but lab - based experiments could help nail down exact numbers under various conditions, such as changing temperatures or plasma density.

But in the case of atmospheric pressure low - density plasma, due to the influences of changes in the atmospheric pressure in a plasma as well as around the plasma, it was difficult to accurately measure electron density.

The measurement method using the harmonic interferometer that we have developed does not depend upon gas composition used when plasma is produced, as compared to other electron density diagnostic methods for atmospheric pressure low - temperature plasma.

Wurden expects his experiment to create a plasma higher in density than ITER's but lower than NIF's compressed - pellet plasma.

These promising new directions include higher fusion power densities, and hence smaller reactors; development of «transport barriers» in the plasma, leading to improved energy confinement and smaller sizes; self - driven plasma currents that permit steady - state operation and low recirculating power; and the development of advanced divertor concepts to provide particle control and heat removal over long reactor lifetimes.

Coronal holes are areas where the sun's corona appears darker because the plasma has high - speed streams open to interplanetary space, resulting in a cooler and lower - density area as compared to its surroundings.

Capillary discharge plasma jets are those that are created by a large current that passes through a low - density gas in what is called a capillary chamber.

Metabolic syndrome is defined as abdominal obesity and elevated blood pressure, plasma glucose, serum triglycerides, or low high - density - lipoprotein levels and can lead to type 2 diabetes.

He was cited «for many outstanding contributions to the theoretical plasma physics of low and high energy density plasmas, open and closed magnetic configurations, and laboratory and astrophysical systems.»

Inhibition of Lectin - Like Oxidized Low - Density Lipoprotein - 1 Receptor Protects Against Plasma - Mediated Vascular Dysfunction Associated With Pre-Eclampsia.

This approach to fusion differs from experiments on the NSTX - U, which confines low - density plasma in magnetic fields to produce fusion reactions.

But when scientists create what's known as a «high density gradient,» by making the density of the plasma change rapidly from high at the center to low at the edges, the plasma can get hotter before that heat starts to leak.

The planet's mass and diameter are consistent with the hypothesis that it has a low average density due to an inferred composition of three - fourths water (possibly 47 percent) and other ices (that have subliminated into a «supercritical fluid» above an «electronically conductive,» dense fluid plasma below a steamy atmosphere) and one - fourth rock and iron in the core.

The concentration of plasma TRLs reflects a balance between de novo synthesis in the liver (very low - density lipoproteins [VLDLs]-RRB-, intestinal absorption of dietary fats (chylomicrons), lipoprotein lipase — mediated (LPL - mediated) lipolysis in the peripheral circulation, and hepatic TRL clearance.

«While the major CVD benefit of statins is due to reduction in plasma low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL - C), [2] statins also produce moderate increases, ranging from 4 % to 10 %, in levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL - C).

Increased plasma lycopene levels have also been correlated with lower cardiovascular disease and lower cholesterol — since studies are showing that lycopene in the diet can help to increase the breakdown of low - density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol, the kind that builds up) in the body.

Fat utilization during exercise: adaptation to a fat rich diet increases utilization of plasma fatty acids and very low density lipoproteins - triacylglycerol in humans.

Fat utilization during exercise: adaptation to a fat - rich diet increases utilization of plasma fatty acids and very low density lipoprotein - triacylglycerol in humans.

Furthermore, preliminary studies indicate that one of soy's protein fractions, 7S, may have a role in inhibiting the development of atherosclerosis by acting directly on the artery wall rather than on plasma lipids, or low - density lipoprotein cholesterol receptors.

In relation to CVD, elevated blood pressure has been shown to be positively associated with higher intakes of red and processed meat, even though the mechanism is unclear, except that possibly meat may substitute for other beneficial foods such as grains, fruits, or vegetables.32 Mean plasma total cholesterol, low - density lipoprotein cholesterol, very - low - density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were found to be decreased in subjects who substituted red meat with fish.33, 34 Vegetarians have lower arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acid levels and higher linoleate and antioxidant levels in platelet phospholipids; such a biochemical profile may be related to decreased atherogenesis and thrombogenesis.34 - 36
