s. -process. The slow neutron-capture process, or s-process, is a series of reactions in nuclear astrophysics that occur in stars, particularly asymptotic giant branch stars. The s -process is responsible for the creation ( nucleosynthesis) of approximately half the atomic nuclei heavier than iron . In the s -process, a seed nucleus undergoes ...
Depiction of the patio process at the Hacienda Nueva de Fresnillo, Zacatecas state ( Mexico ), Pietro Gualdi, 1846. The patio process is a process for extracting silver from ore. Smelting, or refining, is most often necessary because silver is only infrequently found as a native element like some metals nobler than the redox couple 2 H + + 2 e ...
In the early years, most mission work was undertaken by the religious orders. Over time it was intended that a normal church structure would be established in the mission areas. The process began with the formation of special jurisdictions, known as apostolic prefectures and apostolic vicariates. These developing churches eventually graduated ...
The process starts with ice. Then, the patient is loaded into a bag. Ice and water are poured in, and the bag is zipped, with one arm hanging out so Willens can monitor the patient's blood pressure.
Illustration by G. Roux to Jules Verne story. In the Year 2889 ( La Journée d’un journaliste américain en 2889 in French) is an 1889 short story published under the name of Jules Verne, but now believed to be mainly the work of his son Michel Verne, based on his father's ideas. [ 1] The first publication was in English in February 1889, in ...
t. e. In nuclear astrophysics, the rapid neutron-capture process, also known as the r-process, is a set of nuclear reactions that is responsible for the creation of approximately half of the atomic nuclei heavier than iron, the "heavy elements", with the other half produced by the p-process and s -process. The r -process usually synthesizes the ...
The officially stated goals of the foreign policy of the United States of America, including all the bureaus and offices in the United States Department of State, [1] as mentioned in the Foreign Policy Agenda of the Department of State, are "to build and sustain a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community".

Pattinson's process or pattinsonisation is a method for removing silver from lead, discovered by Hugh Lee Pattinson in 1829 [1] and patented in 1833. The process is dependent on the fact that lead which has least silver in it solidifies first on liquefaction , leaving the remaining liquid richer in silver.
