QUASAR9: Nuclear Space Travel

bank quarterly reporting could cause a few days of downward action.After 3 or 4 days down, the market should recover and head up till Oct 31 for the big Kahuna.Another cut gets applauded by the markets. after they were caught off guard when other investors sold securities to reduce borrowings.From the SEC filing, the pros lost money on 13 days during the quarter ended Aug. 31, with the largest single-day trading loss being 90 million.Often wrong, but never in doubt, this is the Nattering Naybob and you're not!

I've been seeing the best blood sugars I've had in years these past few months. The DCCT formula suggests that a 5.8% A1c results from running an average blood sugar of 129 mg/dl. My blood lipids were better than ever, in a way that confirmed that my exposure to blood sugars had dropped. My HDL was 76, higher than ever before.My conclusion is that either a) the A1c is useless for predicting mean glucose normal blood sugar levels or b) I'm a high glycator or c) the lab screwed up.

Raghavan Thirumulpad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
Vaidyabhooshanam K. Raghavan Thirumulpad is a Ayurvedic scholar and physician hailing from Kerala, the southern state of India. Thirumulpad taught a number of young ayurvedic graduates to practise ayurveda in a more logical scientific but simple style.
They write the articles they write not as viewers telling you what you may not know or have not heard yet, but they write articles to make noise. Six games to play, time to go all out to give themselves the best chance of winning it all, and they proved my point -- unable to play their game effectively on the road, they couldn't even take advantage of a schedule calling for them to play against down-and-out teams in Texas and Oakland.” But I know for a fact that he could not have watched the team over the past month or else he would of realized we not only limped into the playoffs mostly on the backs of Seattle’s poor play, but we did it with a team that hardly looked like the team that won the first 80 or so games.Yes we were hurt.

The Timberwolves had some good plays here and there, but overall their offense was disfunctional.Ray Allen put his stamp on this game with 28 points and making 11 of 14 shots from the field. He still needs to find his game (I am not insulting his game, I just think maybe he could spend time in the D-League to develop it).

 This biographical article relating to a college football coach first appointed in the 1900s is a stub.
Although solid NTR's don't operate at temperatures as high as some chemical engines (due to material limitations), they can use pure hydrogen propellant which allows higher Isp's to be achieved (up to 1000 s).In gas-core NTR's, the nuclear fuel is in gaseous form and is inter-mixed with the hydrogen propellant. Advances in metallurgy and material science would be required to improve the durability and T/W ratio of NTR's for launch vehicle applications.An alternative approach to NTR's is to use the heat from nuclear reactor to generate electrical power through a converter, and then use the electrical power to operate various types of electrical thrusters (ion, hall-type, or magneto-plasma-dynamic (MPD)) that operate on a wide variety of propellants (hydrogen, hydrazine, ammonia, argon, xenon, fullerenes) This is how nuclear-electric propulsion (NEP) systems work.To convert the reactor heat into electricity, thermoelectric or thermionic devices could be used, but these have low efficiencies and low power to weight ratios. To get a high thrust density, ion thrusters typically use xenon, while Hall thrusters and MPD thrusters can operate quite well with argon or hydrogen.Compared with NTR's, NEP systems can achieve much higher Isp's. Nuclear systems can achieve space missions at a significantly lower cost due to the reduction in propellant requirements.When humanity gains the will to explore and develop space more ambitiously, nuclear propulsion will be an attractive choice.Source: Nuclear Propulsion from Astro Digital.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________Innovative Nuclear Space Power and Propulsion Institute University of FloridaKazakhstan Wants Russia To Pay 60 Million In Damages For Proton CrashThe Next Space Age by Alan Boyle @ Cosmic Log______________________________________________________________________________________________________________Labels: Applied Physics, Space Exploration
