1 sheets of metal, plastic, etc. used to protect workers or other people from harmful materials, diseases, radiation, etc.: --
2 the practice of keeping your body between an opponent and the ball, with your back to the other player, to prevent them from getting the ball: --
Shielding fails when the thermal boundary layer finally advances into the yielded region beneath the pseudo-plug.
In this case, the heat conduction losses and the plasma shielding effects reduce the ablation efficiency.
It would, of course, require large shock-absorbers and ablative shielding for its pusher-plate.
The shielding of a one-dimensional, planar, permeable test charge has been studied theoretically.
This also plays a role in neutron shielding.
These included optimum wiring technique, shielding and impedance matching.
Most of the work done on shielding so far, has ignored the effect of electron-ion trapping.
For background reduction, a careful shielding of the image intensifier against neutrons is required.
