A sodium cooled fast reactor is one of the fourth generation advanced reactor designs.
Especially after appearance of the fourth generation advanced high temperature gas cooled reactor, structural mechanics in reactor technology becomes a popular subject in structural engineering.
Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) produces steel microstructures with martensite and austenite that exhibit promising property combinations for third generation advanced high strength steels.
Some suggest that second-generation advanced biofuels are unlikely to pose any significant ethical or social challenges (e.g., [6], [35]).
Our work on the second-generation advances the literature in a number of other ways.
The focus was on improvements through better breeding to advance dedicated second generation energy grasses and trees, not food crops.
Unlike cereal breeding, population based forage breeding usually does not advance further than the second generation.
Recent advances in second generation sequencing technologies have allowed us to take this one step further: sequence-based identification of pathogens and of their virulence characteristics.
Announced this morning, the company's second generation product brings some key advances to the device, focused primarily on setup and connectivity.
The advance of second generation sequencing techniques (454 sequencing, the Illumina Genome Analyzer (Solexa), the SOLiD platform, the Polonator and the HeliScope Single Molecule Sequencer technology) enables us to investigate many "-omes" of patients material, such as genomes, transcriptomes, epigenomes and miRNAomes [1], [2], [3].
Second generation contrast agents and recent advances of new ultrasound systems now allow better visualization of intralesional vascular signals and indicate blood flow patterns of normal and diseased tissue.
