PLASMA SCIENCE [7 records]

Record 1 2010-06-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Astrophysics and Cosmography
  • The Sun (Astronomy)
CONT

Solar physics is the study of our Sun. It is a branch of astrophysics that specializes in exploiting and explaining the detailed measurements that are possible only for our closest star. It intersects with many disciplines of pure physics, astrophysics, and computer science, including fluid dynamics, plasma physics including magnetohydrodynamics, seismology, particle physics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, stellar evolution, space physics, spectroscopy, radiative transfer, applied optics, signal processing, computer vision, and computational physics.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Astrophysique et cosmographie
  • Soleil (Astronomie)
DEF

Étude de l’étoile Soleil, de son atmosphère, de son activité magnétique, des éruptions, des flares, etc.

Record 2 2007-02-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Reproduction (Medicine)
CONT

The follicular fluid contained high concentrations of prorenin that were approximately 12 times higher than plasma prorenin. The prorenin from follicular fluid was immunochemically identical to kidney and plasma prorenin. Thus, the ovary is a likely source for the ovulatory peak of plasma prorenin. [Source :Science, Sept. 26, 1986, Vol. 233(4771), pp. 1422-1424]

French

Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
  • Reproduction (Médecine)
CONT

La progestérone favorise et amplifie par rétrocontrôle positif le pic pré-ovulatoire des gonadotrophines puis exerce au cours de la phase lutéale une action inhibitrice majeure sur les centres supérieurs par un rétrocontrôle négatif.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Síntomas (Medicina)
  • Reproducción (Medicina)
DEF

Punto en que se alcanza el nivel máximo de concentración de la hormona luteinizante en los ovarios, se produce entre 24 y 36 horas previas a la ovulación.

CONT

El primer día del ciclo es el primer día de la menstruación. [...] Hacia el décimo día el nivel de estrógenos es alto y se produce la liberación de HL [hormona luteinizante] que determinará hacia el día 14 el "pico de ovulación", que es un aumento de la concentración de LH que determina la máxima maduración del folículo que hace que se rompa y se libere el óvulo.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
CONT

Starsem successfully completed the second flight of its Soyuz U/Fregat launch vehicle. On this validation flight, the vehicle lofted a dynamic mock-up simulating a pair of Cluster 2 plasma science satellites in order to demonstrate its capability to launch the two pairs of satellites in June and July.

Record 5 1998-03-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plasma Physics
DEF

The study of highly ionized gases.

CONT

The first great divide affecting the basic properties of matter as the temperature rises occurs at about 10,000 degrees Kelvin. Below that, roughly speaking, is the usual domain of chemistry; above it is the realm of plasma physics.

Key term(s)
  • plasma science

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique des plasmas
CONT

[...] à l'aide du Tokamak PLT (Princeton Large Torus), tous les records de température viennent d'être battus puisque pour la première fois on est parvenu à chauffer le plasma jusqu'à 60 millions de degrés. [...] l'équipe de Melvin Gottlieb [de Princeton] a fait faire un pas très important à la physique des plasmas.
