Pyroprocessing was originally developed for the recycling of the metal fuel from a fast reactor. It was noted that pyroprocessing can be modified by an oxide reduction process enabling treatment of spent nuclear fuels from a commercial light water reactor (LWR) which is in an oxide form. Pyroprocessing treatment can reduce the volume, radioactivity, and heat load of the LWR spent fuels [1]. In ...

The increased urgency of dealing with mitigation of the looming climate change has sparked renewed interest in the nuclear energy option. There exists a substantial stream of research on the amount of embodied energy and greenhouse gas emissions associated with nuclear generated electricity. While conventional fossil fuelled power plants cause emissions almost exclusively from the plant site, t...

In a model commonly used in dynamic traffic assignment the link travel time for a vehicle entering a link at time t is taken as a function of the number of vehicles on the link at time t. In an alternative recently introduced model, the travel time for a vehicle entering a link at time t is taken as a function of an estimate of the flow in the immediate neighbourhood of the vehicle, averaged ov...

Using a nonlocal macroscopic LWR-type traffic flow model, we present an approach to control the velocity towards given equilibrium velocity. Therefore, Lyapunov function measuring L2 distance between these velocities. We compute explicit rate at which system tends stationary speed. The is controlled by leading vehicle. Numerical examples demonstrate theoretical results and possible extensions o...

this study reports the length-weight relationship (lwr), fulton's condition factor ( k ), and sex ratio of the non-native catfish hoplosternum littorale (hancock, 1828) in florida for the first time. sampling was conducted from november 2013 to april 2014 in tosohatchee wildlife management area in christmas, florida. a total of 477 specimens were caught (6.4-13.5 cm tl). the allometric coeffici...

The African snakehead, Parachanna obscura (Gunther, 1861) is an important food fish in Nigeria and other West countries. To provide useful biological data for management, samples were collected monthly between January, 2011 December, from Ovia River Nigeria. Length-weight relationship (LWR), sex composition fecundity of the species investigated. total lengths ranged 12.8 to 45.7cm, while weight...
