If this process persists, the planet could be stripped to its dense core in a few billion years. The world is coming to an end because of a dud military experiment and a few brave men and a woman must go boldly into the core of the earth to save the planet. The earth's rotation and convection is supposed to circulate the molten nickel/iron of the outer core. The planet's electromagnetic field is decaying due to the outer core of the Earth, itself a ball of trillions of tons of liquid metal, having stopped moving. Sulfur is iron-loving, so it likes to reside in the iron core of a planet. In fact, it has proportionately more iron in it and a bigger core than does the Earth. Magnetic fields, which are produced by the dynamo effect caused by spinning liquid iron, such as the core of a planet, are found throughout the universe. Hot dense matter is in every star and supernova; warm dense matter pervades the cores of large planets like Jupiter and occurs transitionally when a material goes from solid to plasma. The Earth has an iron core surrounded by a dense layer called the mantle, which is capped with a thin rind of rocky crust. In time, seismograph recordings enabled geologists to determine that Earth has a dense core surrounded by a slowly flowing mantle and a thin outer crust. Scientists believe the magnetic field is generated deep inside the Earth where the heat of the planet's solid inner core churns a liquid outer core of iron and nickel. Finally, fluid currents in the Earth's inner core can change the rotation of the planet. The scientists compared the time it took seismic waves generated by nearly identical earthquakes to travel through the Earth's inner core. Most modern calculations rely on the fact that we believe the inner core to be made up of iron and nickel that is just about at melting point. It may also be in part caused by vigorous chemical interaction between the silicate mantle and the iron core. As far as I understand it: The two planetary embryos that collided to form the Moon would have already undergone differentiation, sending most of their iron/nickel to their respective cores. In the science journal Nature, scientists have now stated that they have confirmed the presence of a vortex in the Northern Hemisphere deep underground in the earth's molten iron inner core. Jupiter and Saturn would form in less time than Uranus or Neptune, but Uranus and Neptune's planet cores would probably not have sufficient mass to reach their present size. And yet scientists have a good idea of when the Earth formed, how quickly the iron core settled to the center of the planet, when oceans began to appear, and so on. Synonyms centre, interior, middle, nucleus, bosom 3.1 The central part of a nuclear reactor, which contains the fissile material. （含裂变物质的核反应堆的）堆芯 Example sentencesExamples But now, there is a leak in the nuclear core and the only way to fix it is to send a number of men into the radiation chamber, making them very likely to die. More than a quarter of the core is severely fire-damaged and contains around 15 tonnes of nuclear fuel, some of which melted inside the core. The heart of any nuclear reactor is the core, which contains the fuel, a moderator, and control rods. They maintain that the fissile cores are stored separately from the non-nuclear explosives packages, and that the warheads are stored separately from the delivery systems. The containment structure is designed to prevent the release of radioactive materials in case of an accident within the reactor core. This generator is a small pellet of polonium and beryllium, separated by foil within the fissionable fuel core. Within the core of nuclear reactors, a transmutation-process goes through the sequence of the outer planet-names. Laird was thus able to demonstrate that the support systems around the radioactive core could cope with the most difficult of accident conditions - loss of coolant. One by one, the old reactors can be pulled and the fuel rods disposed of as at present the residual heat left in the radioactive cores is closely monitored by the skilled nuclear engineers operating the new reactor for the next 40 years. In the film, plant operators rely on an erroneous reading from a malfunctioning meter to gauge the water level used to cool the nuclear core. The fuel in the reactor core consists of several tons of uranium. These were irradiated in the core of the nuclear reactor Siloe, Centre d'Etudes Nucleaires de Grenoble, France. In order to prevent such a disaster, the reactor core also contains control rods.

In a multicore design, it also lets all the cores share the memory controller which adds another incremental benefit. These future innovations include dual processing cores, embedded memory, and software, he said. The core and the graphics memory have synchronous clocking equal to 175MHz. The core connects to video memory across a 256-bit bus. Computer cores have been increasing in speed, and increasingly quickly. The 5U ‘low-end’ system with 96 cores and 32GB of memory will start at $89,000. OCGuru allows you to adjust the voltages for both the core and memory, within safe limits, of course. The core clock speed and memory interface speeds of the slower cards have yet to be determined, according to the spokesman. When we moved both the core and memory to the max OC, the tests failed. The graphics core uses shared system memory, of which there will be 128MB. Let's see if I can run the benchmark with my core and memory running 5MHz faster. A bus interface enabling communication over a bus between the memory core of the display controller and the microprocessor is included. Presently, John was shouting for two technicians to calm down while simultaneously filing digital signals to the computer core. Overclocking was somewhat limited given the high clock speeds of the core and memory. With the same core and memory speeds, both cards are virtually identical in performance. Naturally both cards had some reserves left in terms of performance by increasing the clockspeed of both the core and the memory. With those gone, I sever the wires that connect the disk drive to my memory core. Engineering; go and reboot the computer cores. It was a gigantic application of the first generation of high-speed computers with magnetic core memories. 3.3 The inner strand of an electrical cable or rope. （电缆或电线的）芯线 Example sentencesExamples Inner core was jointed to the outer mesh with non-conductive fishing line, and everything was held together with old-fashioned duct tape. The smaller the core and the poorer electrical conductor its material was, the faster the field would decay. Similarly, bringing together the ends of two cables is simple unless those cables have a core diameter many times smaller than a human hair, as is the case with fiber optics. Sharks have been known to decide to bite them, there were worms called Teredo worms, which used to like to eat the gutta percha, which was used to insulate the copper wire at the core of the cable. 3.4 The muscles of the torso, especially the lower back and abdominal area, which assist in the maintenance of good posture, balance, etc. nothing will strengthen your core like balancing a heavy barbell on your back or lifting one off the floor as modifier the core muscles of the abdomen Example sentencesExamples Even when you are lifting weights, exercises like the free squat will demand that you develop strong core muscles.

"When your core is stronger you can control your body better, and you'll improve your kinesthetic awareness," states Riegel. Take a pilates or yoga class, an excellent way to unwind and build core muscles. In aerial work, even more than in dance, building core strength is primary for stability and protecting the lower back. Using the exercise ball is also a great way to train your core muscles. The concept behind stabilization is to work the body's core to improve its function in daily life and reduces the risk of injury. Your posture will also improve as your core becomes stronger; causing you to stand straighter and taller, and giving you a longer, leaner, more streamlined appearance. Plus he does core work, which focuses on the midsection and helps reduce lower-back injuries - an important precaution for firefighters. Push your abs out and wear a weightlifting belt (this will strengthen your core). The first five of the 19 exercises target that area directly, and all 19, particularly those that incorporate a Swiss ball, will work your core to some extent. In a little less than 10 minutes, you can strengthen your lower back and improve your core development with one of our workouts below. The best way to strengthen the core is with a series of exercises using an oversized ball. Athletes who are involved in track and field also need to work their core muscles, since they are recruited in running, throwing and jumping. Push-ups strengthen the chest and the triceps and stabilize the core as you hold your body in a plank position. It was just a matter of working with his body, strengthening his core and his legs to build up his endurance and improve his balance. Under Reese's guidance, Hansen focuses intently on building core strength and complementing the building of muscle strength with the maintenance of flexibility. 3.5 A piece of soft iron forming the center of an electromagnet or an induction coil. （形成电磁铁或感应线圈的）铁芯 Example sentencesExamples The stator assembly consists of independently controlled electromagnet cores that are both identical and isolated from each other, and made of soft, magnetic composites. 3.6 An internal mold filling a space to be left hollow in a casting. （铸造用的）型心；砂芯 Example sentencesExamples A casting would require a pattern, a core, a mold, and finally casting the part from aluminum. 3.7 A cylindrical sample of rock, ice, or other material obtained by boring with a hollow drill. （岩石、冰及其他材料的）钻芯样品 Example sentencesExamples The team drilled beneath the ground to take sample cores from up to 165 metres beneath the surface.

Chicxulub drill cores reveal that the target rocks contain hydrocarbons, the vaporization of which could produce soot. Ships may also carry huge deep-sea drills that pull cores of sediment and rock from the beneath the ocean. The success of these various techniques is limited by the expense and feasibility of collecting cores and processing core samples. The block samples were obtained following ongoing excavation of the quarry floor, and the core samples by diamond drilling below the quarry floor. Over the past decade we have drilled ice cores on domes for a variety of reasons, and this dome is the first thing I notice when looking at the surface topography map. We have obtained and analyzed cores of varved sediments from Cheakamus, Green, and Glacier lakes. As these shelves grew equatorward the primary source of water vapour for snow formation was moved farther away from continental ice sheets where ice cores were later drilled. It is claimed that samples of Antarctic ice cores show that the current CO2 level in the atmosphere is at its highest for almost 500,000 years. One of the best ways is to drill ice cores, often stupendously long ones. Ice cores have been drilled at several places in the Antarctic, including the research outposts at Vostok and Byrd Station. SD2 will drill for small cores of ice and dust from depths of down to 250 millimetres. In total, 29 of the 88 cores drilled during leg 118 were imaged using the DMT corescan system. She also has participated in the collection and processing of paleomagnetic drill cores from basalt flows in Iceland. In addition, readily available cylindrical rock cores cannot be tested using this system. And there's an instrument on board Beagle 2 called the mole and the mole will burrow under the soil and the drill will take a drill core from a rock.
