Metals and alloys for nuclear energy There are two important ways in the making of nuclear energy: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Fusion and fission have a different working mechanisms‚ thus other materials are used. In a nuclear reactor fuel rods are bombarded with neutrons causing fission of the fuel. This way energy is released. With this energy water is heated to steam and with the use of heat exchangers and steam turbines electricity is generated. As fuel is usually uranium used‚ but also

TITLE Self-awareness and the locus of the self-knowledge development: a comparison study to investigate developmental sequences using semi-structured self concept interviews. ABSTRACT This study examines the view that self-awareness gradually develops with a shift from physical to psychological characteristics whilst the locus of self-knowledge progressively transfers from others to the self. Previous research implementing semi-structured self concept interviews to investigate self descriptions

Antiknock agent An antiknock agent is a gasoline additive used to reduce engine knocking and increase the fuel’s octane rating by raising the temperature and pressure at which ignition occurs. The mixture known as gasoline‚ when used in high compression internal combustion engines‚ has a tendency to ignite early before the correctly timed spark occurs (pre-ignition ordetonation) causing a damaging "engine knocking" (also called "pinging" or "pinking") noise. Research[edit] Early research into this
