Thermal hydraulics, in certain components of nuclear reactor systems, involve complex flow scenarios, such as flows assisted by free jets and stratified leading to turbulent mixing thermal fluctuations. These patterns fluctuations can be extremely critical from a safety standpoint. The component-level lumped approximations (0D) or one-dimensional (1D) models for subsystems analysis codes cannot...

A flow cache is a fundamental building block for flowbased traffic processing. Its efficiency is critical for the overall performance of a number of networked devices and systems. The efficiency is mainly dependent on a utilized replacement policy. This work proposes an approach based on Genetic Algorithm. The proposed approach starts from recorded traffic traces and uses Genetic Algorithm to e...

Abstract: The aim of this bachelor project is to fabricate and study hybrid quantum dot (QD) devices featuring Yu-Shiba-Rosinov (YSR) sub-gap states, made on special InAs nanowires with 7 nm epitaxial aluminum coating on 3 facets. The advantage with these nanowires is the epitaxial aluminum, which can be etched away in a small window of semiconducting nanowire for creating QDs. These dots can b...

2955 One of the most important ingredients in the process of price discovery in financial markets is the flow of new information. The importance of information flow is perhaps most apparent during times of market “crisis,” when it often seems that bad news is being reported simultaneously from multiple sources. This clustering of news could occur because firms learn more during bad times, or be...
