It is known that high-energy fission products create serious damage in the crystal structure of nuclear fuel ceramics (UO2), leading to swelling and degradation of thermal properties. The damage process, being particularly important in the high-energy region, is investigated in this study. Cerium dioxide, CeO2, is one of the ceramics that have the same (fluorite) structure as UO2 and also a sim...

We propose a new method for the discrimination of sub-micron nuclear recoil tracks from an instrumental background in fine-grain emulsions used directional dark matter search. The proposed uses 3D Convolutional Neural Network, whose parameters are optimised by Bayesian Unlike previous studies focused on extracting information, we focus signal/background separation exploiting polarisation depend...

This study illuminates the intra-nuclear fate of COL1A1 RNA in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) Type I. Patient fibroblasts were shown to carry a heterozygous defect in splicing of intron 26, blocking mRNA export. Both the normal and mutant allele associated with a nuclear RNA track, a localized accumulation of posttranscriptional RNA emanating to one side of the gene. Both tracks had slightly elon...

In this work, the damage caused by passage of alpha particles inside CR-39 nuclear detector material on its chemical structure was studied. All samples at room temperature using a 241Am-Be neutron source with flux 5^10 neutrons.cm-2.s-1 were neutron-irradiated. track detectors, etching is critical step in expanding latent tracks. At 70 °C, NaOH 6.25N etchant found to be useful traces detector. ...

This publication shows results of a comparison three techniques for localising radioactive, and U-bearing particles in contrasted samples. Particles are localised by the means methods: (1) Fission Tracks (FT), (2) Imaging Plate (IP), (3) real time autoradiography (BeaQuant®). These were applied to various samples, including sediment sampled vicinity Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP...

Telomere-led rapid prophase movements (RPMs) in meiotic prophase have been observed in diverse eukaryote species. A shared feature of RPMs is that the force that drives the chromosomal movements is transmitted from the cytoskeleton, through the nuclear envelope, to the telomeres. Studies in mice suggested that dynein movement along microtubules is transmitted to telomeres through SUN1/KASH5 nuc...

Search theory is the discipline that studies the problem of how best to search for an object when the amount of searching efforts is limited and only probabilities of the possible position of the object are given. Then, the problem is to find the optimal distribution of this total effort that maximizes the probability of detection. Although the general formalism of search theory will be used su...
