Thermal diffusivity of homogeneous SBR MOX fuel with a burn-up of 35 MWd/kgHM

open access: yes, 2009
The effect of burn-up on the thermal conductivity of homogeneous SBR MOX fuel is investigated and compared with standard UO2 LWR fuel. New thermal diffusivity results obtained on SBR MOX fuel with a pellet burn-up of 35 MWd/kgHM are reported. The thermal

IRF MODELLING FROM HIGH BURN-UP SPENT FUEL LEACHING EXPERIMENTS

open access: yes, 2013
This work focuses on the Instant Release Fraction modeling of several leaching experiments performed with a High Burn-up Spent Fuel of 60 MWd/kgU. Experimental results from powder samples from different parts of the fuel and cladded fuel (CS) segment ...

MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING BURN-UP OF NUCLEAR FUEL ELEMENTS

open access: yes, 1958
Problems of burnup of nuclear fuel elements are treated. The factors which determine the percentage of fissionable material; in a nuclear fuel destroyed by fission or capture are reviewed and analyzed. The elements, for failure from core or fuel element design, fabrication defects, and reactor operating conditons, are analyzed.

New insights in the fuel grain subdivision during in-plant irradiation up to high burn-up

open access: yes, 2017
Fuel performance and safety are closely related to its microstructure. Its evolution, due to irradiation damages and fission product accumulation, with operating time and increasing burn-up, may induce severe impacts on these factors.

Advancing Environmental Sustainability: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Monitoring, Predicting, and Controlling Sulfur Dioxide Emissions

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Air pollution from sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions poses significant threats to environmental sustainability, public health, and climate change efforts. Despite advances in monitoring and regulatory frameworks, traditional methods often fall short in accuracy, scalability, and efficiency.

Light‐Weight Sustainable Composite From Virgin and Recycled Polypropylene Blends and Biocarbon for Automotive Part Application

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The circular utilization of automotive recycled polypropylene (rPP) blended with virgin polymer and waste‐derived biocarbon to develop sustainable composite materials. The composites were processed via melt compounding and injection molding. The addition of sustainable biocarbon lowered the coefficient of linear thermal expansion and maleic anhydride ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Investigating the changes in skin color representation within US medical textbook imagery

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Medical education traditionally relies on textbooks with limited representation of dark skin tones, contributing to “visual racism.” This study sought to answer: “To what extent has skin‐of‐color representation changed in widely used U.S. medical textbooks over twenty years?” Older and newer editions of four widely used medical textbooks were ...
