Exhaust emissions from the engine running on multi-component fuel

open access: yesTransport, 2012
Possible alternative raw materials for producing biodiesel fuel are as follows: Camelina sativa oil, fibre linseed oil and waste animal fat. The aim of this work was to analyse the emissions of the engine running on multi-component fuels containing ...

Analysis of attractiveness of nuclear materials as applied to the on-site fuel cycle of inherently safe fast reactors

open access: yesNuclear Energy and Technology, 2017
As of the present moment a fairly well-established concept of “attractiveness of nuclear materials” is widely used in scientific publications. This term implies that nuclear materials which are involved in the civil fuel cycle may be used for fabricating

Glass-ceramic sealants and steel interconnects: Accelerated interfacial stability and reactivity tests at high temperature

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2021
High-temperature reactions between glass–ceramic sealants and Fe-Cr alloy interconnects may lead to the formation of undesirable phases, and consequently degradation of solid oxide fuel/electrolyser devices.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Current Density Performances in Poly Ether Ether Keton Membrane for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The objective of this study focuses on the characterization of poly ether ether ketone (PEEK) membranes for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) application. The PEEK membrane was modified with sulfonation in NMP solvent.

Ultrasonic Fingerprinting of Structural Materials: Spent Nuclear Fuel Containers Case-Study

open access: yesPhysics Procedia, 2015
AbstractNowadays, NDT is mainly focused on safety purposes, but it seems possible to apply those methods to provide national and IAEA safeguards. The containment of spent fuel in storage casks could be dramatically improved in case of development of so-called “smart” spent fuel storage and transfer casks.

Development of the SCK CEN reference datasets for spent fuel safeguards research and development

open access: yesData in Brief, 2020
A set of reference spent fuel libraries has been organized in datasets containing the material composition and radiation emission (i.e. neutrons and gamma-rays) of spent fuel.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?
