A second phase of benchmark calculations is proposed for the Beam Interruptions in a Lead-bismuthcooled and MOX-fuelled Accelerator-driven System computational problem. This second phase of calculations aims to extend the beam interruption investigation to prototypical ADSs characterised by larger fuel power densities. To this aim, the computational benchmark is no longer limited to an XADS-typ...

background and objectives: commiphora habessinica (o.berg) engl. (burseraceae), boswellia sacra flueck (burseraceae), phoenix dactylifera l. (arecaceae), and doronicum glaciale (wulfen) nyman (asteraceae) are of ethnomedicinal importance in persian folk medicine and are widely used to treat infectious diseases. the aim of the present study was to investigate the antimicrobial properties of thes...

This work deals with the performance analysis of MYRRHA hottest fuel pin in normal operating conditions, employing TRANSURANUS code, aim assessing current design specifications considering conservative limits. To allow proper simulation behaviour, is extended novel correlations for creep and void swelling response specific cladding material (DIN 1.4970). The best-estimate reference scenario com...

The resin of the Commiphora mukul tree has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for more than 2000 years to treat a variety of ailments. Studies in both animal models and humans have shown that this resin, termed gum guggul, can decrease elevated lipid levels. The stereoisomers E- and Z-guggulsterone have been identified as the active agents in this resin. Recent studies have shown that these compou...

The use of archery to hunt appears relatively late in human history. It is poorly understood but the application of poisons to arrows to increase lethality must have occurred shortly after developing bow hunting methods; these early multi-stage transitions represent cognitive shifts in human evolution. This paper is a synthesis of widely-scattered literature in anthropology, entomology, and che...
