When assessing the radiological consequences of postulated accident scenarios, it is primary interest to determine amount radioactive fission gas accumulated in fuel rod free volume. The state-of-the-art semi-empirical approach (ANS 5.4–2010) reviewed and compared with a mechanistic evaluate release gases. At intra-granular level, diffusion-decay equation handled by spectral diffusion algorithm...

A thermo-sensitive imprinted polymer coating CdTe quantum dots was developed to prepare fluorescent thermo-sensitive protein-affinity materials, which exhibited high specific recognition ability towards target proteins.

The main purpose of this work is to investigate the porous medium and diffusion-thermo effects on unsteady combined convection magneto hydrodynamics boundary layer flow of viscous electrically conducting fluid over a vertical permeable surface embedded in a high porous medium, in the presence of first order chemical reaction and thermal radiation. The slip boundary condition is applied at the p...

Abstract. Theoretical approaches to earthquake instabilities propose shear-dominated source mechanisms. Here we take a fresh look at the role of possible volumetric preceding shear instability. We investigate phenomena that may prepare using coupling thermo-hydro-mechano-chemical reaction–diffusion equations in THMC diffusion matrix. show off-diagonal cross-diffusivities can give rise new class...

We established the Arctic System Science/Thermokarst (ARCSS/TK) project in 2008 with the intent to use a systems approach to address hypotheses about how upland thermo-erosional features influence the structure and function of the foothill and mountainous landscape in the vicinity of the Brooks Range in arctic Alaska. We found that the common thermo-erosional features in this region are thaw sl...

On (b, c)-system at finite temperature in thermo field approach Abstract We construct the finite temperature field theory of the two-dimensional ghost-antighost system within the framework of thermo field theory.

An alternative, subcritical-temperature austenitic nitriding process is evaluated in this paper with the purpose of accelerating the treatment cycle, optimizing the hardness gradient in nitrided layers and seeking improved process control. Comparing to the conventional nitriding processed at ferritic temperature and followed by slow cooling, the alternative process includes nitriding at elevate...
