Trimethylamine N-oxide. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is the organic compound in the class of amine oxides with the formula (CH3)3NO. This colorless solid is usually encountered as the dihydrate. It is a product of the oxidation of trimethylamine, a common metabolite in animals.
Prism fusion range. The prism fusion range (PFR) or fusional vergence amplitude is a clinical eye test performed by orthoptists, optometrists, and ophthalmologists to assess motor fusion, specifically the extent to which a patient can maintain binocular single vision (BSV) in the presence of increasing vergence demands.
To achieve the required temperature to ignite the fusion reaction. To keep the plasma together at this temperature long enough to get useful amounts of energy out of the thermonuclear fusion reactions. To obtain more energy from the thermonuclear reactions than is used to heat the plasma to the ignition temperature.
