The 1958 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov, Ilya Frank and Igor Tamm for the discovery and the interpretation of the Cherenkov Effect. Cherenkov radiation is the electromagnetic radiation emitted by particles moving through a medium faster than the speed of light in the same medium. It was fist a detected by Soviet scientist Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov, of who the effect is named after and a theory was later developed by Ilya Frank and Igor Tamm. Cherenkov’s contributions still live on as an invaluable tool in today's nuclear and subatomic particle physics with examples that include a way to detect and quantify the characteristics of subatomic particles to analyzing high energy cosmic signals from the deepest regions of space. More down to earth uses consist of safety procedures for nuclear reactors and the detection of low concentration biomolecules in the sick and elderly.
Franklin Chang Diaz created improved versions of the Variable Specific Magnetoplasma Rocket(VASIMR). The VASIMR rocket engine turns argon, xenon, or hydrogen into superheated plasma. It does this by first ionizing it, knocking an electron loose from each gas atom with a Helicon coupler. Then, using an Ion Cyclotron Heating (ICH) coupler, it heats plasma to temperatures at about the temperature in the Sun’s core(9,999,726.85℃). The ICH coupler
When light atomic nuclei fuse together to form heavier ones, a large amount of energy is released. This is a very difficult process to recreate on earth - gases need to be heated to extremely high temperatures (about 100 millions degrees C) to produce a plasma which then needs to be contained for a sufficiently long period for fusion to occur. 2. To reach these temperatures there must first be powerful heating, and thermal losses must be minimized by keeping the hot fuel particles away from the walls of the container. This is achieved by creating a magnetic “cage” made by strong magnetic fields, which prevent the particles from escaping.

In a nutshell, feminist scholars claims that the objectification of women is when women is reduced to instruments of sexual pleasure for men which primarily involves disregarding women’s personal and intellectual abilities and capabilities. The examples of objectifying women that has been cited by the feminists include depictions of women in advertising and media. This, however, can be traced back in 1950’s, when women were treated as sexual object in the narrative cinema. Today, the objectification of women has been aggravated by the nudity concept in music videos, which has also becoming part of the pop culture amongst the celebrities in 20th century.
In America today, about 92,500 job openings in the department of child, family, and social work currently exist (Career/Technical, 2015). According to O*NET OnLine, the expected projected growth is 5 to 8% (2015). In 2014 this career had an average of 305,000 employees. Individuals in this field must have great comprehension, listening and perceptual skills. This Department of Labor site also states that the median wage for this career field is $42,120 annually. To become a social worker one does not need extensive education. The choice to become a social worker will positively impact many individuals.
During the last two decades, both experiments and simulations have been conducted in order to find the most effective way for ion acceleration by intense ultrashort laser pulses because a compact source of high-energy ions could have many original applications such as triggering of nuclear reactions, research of warm dense matter, laboratory astrophysics, radiography, fast ignition for inertial fusion, short-lived isotope production, and hadron therapy.

The relationship between plasma collisionality and intermittency has been investigated for density and potential fluctuations in the stellarator TJ-K, as well as with Hasegawa-Wakatani simulations.

Gyrotrons are the radiation source of choice for applications which require medium radiation powers from a few watts to several tens of watts at frequencies above 200 GHz.

Being motivated by the potentiality of the problems related to the astrophysical, space, and laboratory plasmas, the head-on collisions among the DA single- and multi-solitons and their phase shifts in unmagnetized plasmas consisting of massive negatively charged mobile dust particles, Boltzmann distributed electrons, and two-temperature nonthermal ions are investigated; the two-temperature nonthermal cold and hot ions occupy two different regions of phase space.

Every now and then, on the surface of the sun, a solar flare is conceived as a result of which electrons and protons are blown towards earth by something called “solar winds”. These solar protons and electrons are results of a form of solar activity know as a coronal mass ejection or (CME).These winds travel at a speed of
