Achievement of Target Gain Larger than Unity in an Inertial Fusion Experiment.
Phys Rev Lett
February 2024
Article Synopsis
- * This experiment produced 2.05 MJ of laser energy, resulting in 3.1 MJ of total fusion yield, which exceeds the Lawson criterion for ignition, demonstrating a key milestone in fusion research.
- * The report details the advancements in target design, laser technology, and experimental methods that contributed to this historic achievement, validating over five decades of research in laboratory fusion.
Article Synopsis
- * In inertially confined fusion, ignition allows the fusion process to spread into surrounding fuel, potentially leading to higher energy output.
- * Recent experiments at the National Ignition Facility achieved capsule gains of 5.8 and approached ignition, even though "scientific breakeven" has not yet been fully realized.
Survey of physician attitudes and practices related to pediatric obesity.
Clin Pediatr (Phila)
April 2003
The purpose of this study was to survey physicians regarding their attitudes and practices related to the treatment of pediatric obesity in a primary care setting. Surveys were sent to physicians who were members of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians practicing in the Southern New England area (Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island). The 14-item survey consisted of three main areas of focus: attitudes toward obesity, treatment and referral approaches, and barriers to addressing weight concerns in children and adolescents.
