Prometheus system

Currently, only five thermal conductivity and six viscosity mixed gas data points have been identified in the literature for xenon mole fractions ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 with temperatures greater than 390K (the lowest HeXe temperature in the SNPP), all at atmospheric pressure. Unless further literature review were to provide substantial additional data, it would be necessary to recommend obtaining additional experimental data against which to benchmark the recommended mixture method. In addition, the effects of pressure on viscosity and thermal conductivity and the deviation of density and specific heat from ideal gas behavior need to be assessed for the ranges of Prometheus system temperature and pressure.

The benefits of presenting chemoinformatics data in an intuitive manner make Prometheus an obvious asset to researchers. The customizable software being developed for chemistry of natural products should enable scientists to rapidly process large spectroscopic data sets and solve the structure of new isolates more efficiently. The machine learning aspect of the medical informatics component holds significant future promise. Additionally, the characterization aspect of Rx s toolkit is particularly attractive for medical practitioners. Fully developing the early warning system component of Rx s toolkit would increase its usefulness in ICU s and the medical community. 

Timothy Leary claims that Robert Anton Wilson, Ph.D., his occasional literary and theoretical collaborator, "has interpreted my rantings and ravings and droolings better than anyone else." Wilson s books Cosmic Trigger and Prometheus Rising are particularly noteworthy for their accessible treatments of Leary s eight-circuit model of the nervous system. 

Presearch is a British-based company, which offers a variety of instruments from different manufacturers. These include the Prometheus SAS-FMS system, which is billed as the first odor and volatile organic compounds (VOC) analyzer, which combines a sensitive fingerprint mass spectrometer (FMS) with a sensor array system (SAS). This system allows direct analysis of samples without pretreatment [25]. In addition, the company offers the Astree II e-tongue sensor array, which consists of seven sensors on a probe, which can be automatically lowered into a vessel containing the sample to be analyzed. The process is electrochemically based on the response of the sensors being dependent on the type and quantity of molecules present in the sample [26].

Certain diseases of the digestive tract may be best treated by delivery of the therapeutic active agent directiy to the affected areas instead of indirectly through the systemic circulation. In instances where the active agent is poorly water-soluble, it may be highly desirable to administer the agent in fine particle form (nanoparticles or microparticles). One such commercial product is Entocort EC, a capsule containing the anti-inflammatory corticosteroid budesonide in micronized form. Entocort EC (Prometheus Laboratories, Inc.) is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate Crohn s disease.

This paper summarizes the work completed and future work recommendations of the Naval Reactors Prime Contractor Team (NRPCT) as part of the NASA Prometheus space reactor development project. The majority of the work undertaken was focused on a reactor system suitable to a deep space nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) system, with the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) as the first mission. 

According to the spaee reactor power system optimization spreadsheet, the nominal space environment temperature the Prometheus spaeeship was expeeted to see was 200K. To aoeount for hot components in the vicinity of the hot leg piping, the spaee temperature was inereased to 400K for the thermal analyses of the hot leg piping concepts. Further analysis of the thermal behavior for the entire system was needed before a more refined assmnption for the space temperature could be made.

When the alternator load is suddenly removed there is a net positive torque on the turbine shaft resulting in an increased rotational speed. Note that a control system to regulate shaft speed was envisioned for Prometheus. If working properly, excess power would be transferred to a parasitic load resistor (PLR) by the shaft speed control system maintaining the same load on the alternator and the transient snccessfully averted. This transient assumes that a multiple component failnre resnlts in loss of the electrical coimections to the load and to the PLR.
