CUAJ implements early releases

Nuclear refugees after large early radioactive releases

However improbable, large early radioactive releases from a nuclear power plant would entail major consequences for the surrounding population. In Fukushima, 80,000 people had to evacuate the most contaminated areas around the NPP for a prolonged period of time. Had they remained where they lived, they would have received doses dangerous for their health in the long run. These people have been ...

Center of percussion of hand-held implements

The center of percussion is commonly regarded as a sweet spot when referring to a baseball bat or a tennis racquet because it is assumed that there will be no sudden motion of the handle with respect to the hand if the corresponding axis of rotation passes through the hand. A problem with this interpretation is that the hand extends over a finite length of the handle and exerts an opposing reac...

Silicon synapse implements multiple neural computational primitives

Synapses are highly specialized structures that transmit information between neurons. When an action potential generated by a neuron reaches a presynaptic terminal, a cascade of events produces a flow of ionic currents into or out of the postsynaptic neuron’s membrane, with a characteristic time course that can last up to several hundreds of milliseconds.1 Modeling the detailed dynamics of post...
