Constructing and operating a large underground facility for the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste decades will cause changes in environment around facility. Since permeability heterogeneity fractured granite Japan are higher than those Europe, disturbance to groundwater due tunnel excavation is expected be complex. Therefore, modeling fracture characteristics important accurat...

Delayed Fission Neutron (DFN) assay has been applied to the measurement of uranium content in sorbers exposed to natural seawater for the purpose of evaluating advanced ion exchange resins. DFN assay was found to be particularly suitable for such testing because it is selective, nondestructive, yields quantitative results in the submicrogram range, and requires relatively simple sample preparat...

This paper proposes a new model that predicts the cell voltage dynamics and capacity degradation induced by lithium plating stripping. The proposed uses single equilibrium reaction to describe deposition dissolution of metallic lithium, predicting partial reversibility plating/stripping reaction, characteristic plateau during relaxation, loss due Loss Cyclable Lithium (LCL). is integrated with ...

Abstract Two modeling approaches are commonly utilized for simulating flow in fractured formations: the discrete fracture network (DFN) approach and stochastic continuum (SC) approach. Although DFN is most accurate, it has computational memory constraints. The SC ensures fast processing but results system over-homogenization. (FC) arises as an integrated technique that incorporates merits of bo...

Abstract: Wissenschaftsnetze leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Sicherung von Standortfaktoren im internationalen Wettbewerb von Wissenschaft und Forschung. Trotz eingeschränkter finanzieller Möglichkeiten ist es notwendig, den Anwendern eine störungsfreie Netzplattform zur Verfügung zu stellen. Am Beispiel des vom DFN-Verein für die deutsche Wissenschaft organisierten Wissenschaftsnetzes XWiN...

Das elektronische Volltextinformationssystem OPUS, das aus einem DFN-Projekt hervorgegangen ist, hat sich zu einem stabilen Produkt im Hochschulbereich entwickelt. Aufgrund der Verbreitung wurden eine Reihe von aktuellen Entwicklungen im Bereich des elektronischen Publizierens von Hochschulschriften in einer technisch vollkommen überarbeiteten Version des Systems funktional aufgegriffen. Neben ...

Wind speed is an important meteorological parameter, whose simulation influenced by various physical process parameterizations. However, the impact of cumulus parameterization schemes (CPSs) on wind at climate scale has not been sufficiently investigated in previous studies. Using Advanced Research version Weather and Forecasting model (ARWv3) hydrostatic change equation, we assessed effects fo...
