In this paper, KENOV.a module of SCALE code system was used to perform Monte Carlo simulation of the TRIGA MARK II research reactor benchmark experiments [1,2] in steady state operation conditions. Robert Jeraj and his coworkers have presented a similar simulation of the TRIGA MARK II research reactor benchmark experiments via MCNP4A in 1997. [3] The core excess reactivity measurement experimen...

Transmission of visual signals at the first retinal synapse is associated with changes in calcium concentration in photoreceptors and bipolar cells. We investigated how loss of plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase isoform 2 (PMCA2), the calcium transporter isoform with the highest affinity for Ca2+/calmodulin, affects transmission of rod- and cone-mediated responses. PMCA2 expression in the neuroblast l...

Background. The double haul is a unique feature of single-handed fly casting and is used in both fly fishing and fly casting competition. The movement behaviour during the double haul has not been investigated in previous research. Objectives. Describe the coordination of the rod and line hauling movements during distance fly casting. Methods. Elite fly casters performed distance castin...

The control rod neutron absorbers for light water reactors with extended lifetime and enhanced safety are being developed. It is an innovative material concept that can extend the by reducing irradiation-induced swelling compared to existing absorber materials utilizing oxide-based materials. Furthermore, it enhance improving various characteristics such as oxidation, eutectic reaction, volatil...

Purpose. To describe the characteristics of rod and cone functions in rat models for congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) and retinal cone dysfunction (RCD). Methods. Rod and cone function were isolated by recording the rod-/cone-driven flicker and blue light flicker electroretinograms (ERGs). Results. During dark adaptation, the amplitudes of flicker ERGs in CSNB rats were lower than t...
