Fuel Benefit from Optimal Trajectory Assignment on the North Atlantic Tracks [PDF]

, 2016
The North Atlantic Tracks represent one of the highest density international traffic regions in the world. Due to the lack of high-resolution radar coverage over this region, the tracks are subject to more restrictive operational constraints than flights

Laser‐Based Solidification of Cermets/Cemented Carbides: Processing‐Microstructure‐Property Relationships

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Recent research on laser‐processed cermets and cemented carbides highlights significant advancements, yet a notable paucity of studies and persistent challenges remain. Efforts are increasingly focused on developing low‐cost, environmentally friendly cermets as alternatives to conventional materials.

Microhardness and Young's modulus of high burn-up UO2 fuel

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2016
AbstractVickers microhardness (HV0.1) and Young's modulus (E) measurements of LWR UO2 fuel at burn-up ≥60 GWd/tHM are presented. Their ratio HV0.1/E was found constant in the range 60–110 GWd/tHM. From the ratio and the microhardness values vs porosity, the Young's modulus dependence on porosity was derived and extended to the full radial profile ...

Engineering of Double Absorber Organic‐Perovskite Solar Cells for >34% Efficiency with V2O5 as Back Surface Field Layer

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
This study investigates high‐efficiency double perovskite active layer (DPAL) structures using MAPbI3 and MASnI3 to surpass the Shockley‐Queisser limit in single‐junction perovskite solar cells. SCAPS‐1D simulations show that the V2O5‐assisted DPAL device achieves 34.14% power conversion efficiency with improved JSC, VOC, and FF.

Fire Season and fuel Load Predict Fire Behavior in Open Savannas in Northern Cerrado

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Fire is one of the main factors determining the structure of mesic savannas like the Brazilian Cerrado. Its plant species have evolved with fire for millions of years, but intense human use in the past century has been threatening biodiversity.

Experimental studies of spent fuel burn-up in WWR-SM reactor [PDF]

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2014
Abstract The article reports the results of 235 U burn-up measurements using 137 Cs activity technique for 12 nuclear fuel assemblies of WWR-SM research reactor after 3-year cooling time. The discrepancy between the measured and the calculated burn-up values was about 3%. To increase the reliability of the data and for cross-check purposes, neutron

Dysfunctional TRIM31 of POMC Neurons Provokes Hypothalamic Injury and Peripheral Metabolic Disorder under Long‐Term Fine Particulate Matter Exposure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) elevates risks of neurological and chronic metabolic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms linking PM2.5‐induced central nervous system (CNS) injury to metabolic dysfunction remain unclear. Hypothalamic pro‐opiomelanocortin‐expressing (POMC+) neurons regulate systemic metabolic homeostasis, and tripartite motif ...
