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

A “Hot Spring” Mimetic Aerogel Loaded with Multiple Amino Acids Modulates the Chronic Inflammatory Microenvironment Through Metabolic Reprogramming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The SrCuSi4O₁₀ bioceramic particles mimic the effects of hot spring therapy by increasing the local wound temperature, which enhances the absorption of amino acids and stimulates cell metabolism. The amino acid uptake supports cellular glutathione redox reactions, helping to mitigate oxidative stress.

Impact of nuclear data uncertainty on safety calculations for spent nuclear fuel geological disposal

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
In the design of a spent nuclear fuel disposal system, one necessary condition is to show that the configuration remains subcritical at time of emplacement but also during long periods covering up to 1,000,000 years.

Towards Climate Neutrality by 2050: Role of Aluminum for Short‐ and Long‐Term Energy and Hydrogen Storage

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The Aluminum energy storage cycle involves the use of renewable energy for Al production and the generation of heat (dry cycle) and heat and H2 (wet cycle) for energy production via Al‐steam combustion. ABSTRACT Reaching climate neutrality by 2050 requires innovative long‐term energy storage (LTES) solutions beyond the current use of fossil fuels ...
