The ability to perform rapid separations in a post nuclear weapon detonation scenario is an important aspect of national security. In the past, separations of fission products have been performed using solvent extraction, precipitation, etc. The focus of this work is to explore the feasibility of using thermochromatography, a technique largely employed in superheavy element chemistry, to expedi...

BACKGROUND Nursing education has evolved over time to fit societies' increasing care needs. Innovations in nursing education draw thorny debates on potential jeopardy in the quality, safety, and efficacy of nurse graduates. Accelerated nursing education programs have been among landmark strategic changes to address the persistent bedside nurse shortage. Despite the dearth of empirical studies i...

During the last decade, use of inverse kinematics in experimental study fission is bringing a wealth new observables obtained single measurements, allowing their analysis and correlations. An ongoing application this technique basis series experiments performed with variable-mode, large-acceptance VAMOS++ spectrometer at GANIL. A recent experiment has been focused on survival nuclear structure ...

This paper proposes a simple but efficient technique to control 3D overhead crane. Load must track a desired path and not sway more than a reasonable range.The proposed method uses PID control for trolley to track the desired path and fuzzy control compensation to eliminate the load swing. Only the projection of swing angle is applied to design the fuzzy controller. No plant information of cran...

A new detector system for investigating the properties of spontaneous fission short-lived transuranium nuclei has been created. This consists an assembly double-sided silicon strip detectors surrounded by 116 proportional neutrons counters filled with 3He. The neutron registration efficiency is 54.7 ± 0.1%. tested in experiment characteristics 252No isotope. experimental data on yields are comp...
