Silicon carbide (SiC) is a competitive candidate material to be used in several advanced and Generation-IV nuclear reactor designs as neutron moderator, fuel coating, cladding, or core structural material. Many studies have been performed investigate the durability of SiC severe environment reactor. However, nature behavior defect induced by irradiation are still not fully understood. This pape...

The promise of high-gradient accelerator research is a future for physics beyond the 5-TeV energy scale. Looking beyond what can be engineered today, we examine basic research directions for colliders of the future, from mm-waves to lasers, and from solid-state to plasmas, with attention to material damage, beamdynamics, a workable collision scheme, and energetics.

The proper regulation of microtubule lengths is fundamental to their cellular function. New work now reports that the collision of a growing microtubule end with another object, such as a microtubule, can contribute to the regulation of microtubule lengths by leaving behind damage that ultimately acts to stabilize the microtubule network.

There are a very limited number of reports concerning the relationship between pedestrian head injuries and collision parameters through a combination of statistical analysis methods and finite element method (FEM). This study aims to explore the characteristics of pedestrian head injuries in car-pedestrian collisions at different parameters by using the two means above. A retrospective analysi...

Coping with threats such as terrorism, crime, natural hazards or industrial accidents requires early detection and correct assessment of critical situations, followed by appropriate actions to avoid potential damage to person or property. We here focus on threat prevention in closed properties of traffic infrastructures (railway stations, harbours, airports) or logistics centres. To early detec...

hydroalcoholic extract (70% ethanol extract) of tubers of momordica tuberosa cogn. (cucurbitaceae) was subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening by qualitative tests. nitric oxide scavenging activity was performed by griess reagent method. and nephroprotective activity was assessed in gentamicin, cisplatin and paracetamol induced renal damage in wistar rats (150-200 g) by standard method...

Classical trajectory (Monte Carlo) calculation is used to calculate collision rate constants of ion-quadrupolar molecule interactions for the H¯+C2H2 system. The method presented here takes into account the effect of the induced dipole-induced dipole potential on ion-quadrupolar molecule collision rate constants. It is also assumed that the colliding particles have a d...
