Overview
The various activities associated with the production of electricity from nuclear reactions are referred to collectively as the nuclear fuel cycle. The nuclear fuel cycle starts with the mining of uranium and ends with the disposal of nuclear waste. With the reprocessing of spent fuel as an option for nuclear fuel, the stages form a true cycle.
As organizations struggle to cope with the exponential growth of data, especially in the unstructured and decentralized file space, the urgency to gain better control, visibility and transparency of file...
Diagnostic techniques in nuclear medicine use radioactive tracers which emit gamma rays from within the body. These tracers are generally short-lived isotopes linked to chemical compounds which permit specific physiological...
The "greenhouse effect" is the term used to describe the retention of heat in the earth's lower atmosphere (troposphere). In colloquial usage it often refers to the enhanced global warming...
A nuclear reactor produces and controls the release of energy from splitting the atoms of certain elements. In a nuclear power reactor, the energy released is used as heat...
Until the last ten or twenty years sustainability of energy supplies was thought of simply in terms of their abundance relative to the rate of usage. Today, in the context...
Plutonium is a by-product of the fission process in nuclear reactors, due to neutron capture by uranium-238 in particular. When operating, a typical nuclear reactor contains within its uranium fuel...
This IDC White Paper analyzes the latest technology and market developments in the x86 server space, which has been significantly impacted by the spread of virtualization solutions and the rise of energy issues. The paper puts AMD's latest 45nm quad-core AMD Opteron Processor, codenamed "Shanghai," in context in this environment and analyzes its opportunities in the European market.

Simplifies the ability to test thereby enhancing disasterrecovery plan reliability
When deploying new software configuration management (SCM) tools, implementers sometimes focus on perfecting fine-grained activities, while unwittingly carrying forward poor, large-scale practices from their previous jobs or tools. The result is a well-executed blunder. This paper promotes some high-level best practices that reflect the authors' experiences in deploying SCM.
