Increasing the distance from which an antineutrino detector is capable of monitoring the operation of a registered reactor, or discovering a clandestine reactor, strengthens the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty. This report presents calculations of the reactor antineutrino interactions, from both quasi-elastic neutrino-proton scattering and elastic neutrino-electron scattering, in a ...

This article describes the use of biofilm reactors for the production of various chemicals by fermentation and wastewater treatment. Biofilm formation is a natural process where microbial cells attach to the support (adsorbent) or form flocs/aggregates (also called granules) without use of chemicals and form thick layers of cells known as "biofilms." As a result of biofilm formation, cell densi...

Treatments of estrogens such as Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2) and Ethinylestradiol (EE2) were conducted using an electrolytic reactor equipped with multi-packed granular glassy carbon electrodes. Experimental results showed that E1, E2 and EE2 were oxidized in the range of 0.45-0.85 V and were removed through electro-polymerization. Observed data from continuous experiments were in good agreemen...

The observation of field induced electron emission from room temperature grown carbon nanofibers at low ~5 V/mm! macroscopic electric fields is reported. The nanofibers were deposited using methane as a source gas in a conventional rf plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor using a Ni metal catalyst previously subjected to an Ar plasma treatment. Analysis of the scanning electron micr...

Harmonic resonances may damage equipments and interrupt electric power customers services. Shutdowns may affect seriously harmonic resonant frequencies and may initiate new resonances in distribution power systems. This paper proposes various techniques for damping harmonic resonances in power systems[1-4]. A series reactor should be connected in series with the shunt power factor correction ca...

The miniaturization of chemical and biological processes in microfluidic devices and bioarrays is a major technological achievement. Microchips performing multiphase material synthesis operations could be a future step in this trend of miniaturizing technology. Here we show how electrically controlled chips can be used for the synthesis and manipulation of new types of particles with advanced s...

– A novel approach to harmonic and interharmonic analysis, based on the “subspace” methods, is proposed. Min-norm harmonic retrieval method is an example of high-resolution eigenstructure-based methods. The Wigner-Ville representation was also tested for timefrequency analysis of electric signals. The high-resolution methods do not show the disadvantages of the traditional tools and allow exact...

This paper presents a model-based approach on the analysis of complex multidisciplinary electrochemical processes, with implementation on a reactor for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to formate/formic acid. The process is regarded as a system of interacting physical and electrochemical mechanisms. A process model is developed by combining individual mathematical sub-models of the mechani...

A method for the production of antibacterial ZnO nanoparticles has been developed. The technique combines passing an electric current with simultaneous application of ultrasonic waves. By using high-power ultrasound a cavitation zone is created between two zinc electrodes. This leads to the possibility to create a spatial electrical discharge in water. Creation of such discharge leads to the de...
