Nuclear performance analyses for HCPB test blanket modules in ITER

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2007
Neutronic, shielding and activation analyses have been performed for recent design variants of the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) test blanket module (TBM) in ITER on the basis of 3D Monte Carlo calculations. The main objective has been to assess and optimise the nuclear performance of the HCPB test blanket modules in terms of the tritium generation ...

Adaptation of the HCPB DEMO TBM as breeding blanket for ITER: Neutronic and thermal analyses

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2007
Abstract This paper illustrates a neutronic and thermal analysis of an hypothetical triziogen blanket for ITER made up of modules similar to the helium cooled pebble bed (HCPB) breeding blanket, which is under studies for the DEMO reactor. Presently several research centres in Europe are engaged in developing a HCPB module which will be tested in an ...

Unravelling the Pathotype, Biofilm, Virulome and Resistome Profile of MultiDrug-Resistant Bacteria Isolated From Cattle Faeces Using Whole Genome Sequence Analysis. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
The high mortality and morbidity resulting from diarrhoeal cases worldwide are associated with the increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and represent a serious public health concern. Cattle are a major reservoir of AMR organisms, and faecal shedding may facilitate their transmission into the food chain.

Unraveling the Resistome, Virulome, and Pathogenicity of Escherichia Coli O157:H7 From Cattle Feces. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Antimicrobial‐resistant Escherichia coli, especially those belonging to the serotype O157, are increasingly linked to foodborne diseases with significant fatality rates worldwide. The food and medical industries have focused on E. coli O157:H7 due to its ability to produce toxins coupled with its low infectious dose. The aim of this study was to assess

European DEMO Fusion Reactor: Design and Integration of the Breeding Blanket Feeding Pipes

Energies, 2023
This article describes the design and configuration of the DEMO Breeding Blanket (BB) feeding pipes inside the upper port. As large BB segments require periodic replacement via the upper vertical ports, the space inside the upper port needs to be ...

Antibiotics versus non‐antibiotic treatments for acute otitis externa: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Clinical Otolaryngology, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 841-862, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Otitis externa is a condition causing inflammation of the outer ear canal, which presents with itching, discharge and pain. Most cases of acute otitis externa are caused by bacterial infection and are thus treated with antibiotics.

Genome comparison reveals that Halobacterium salinarum 63‐R2 is the origin of the twin laboratory strains NRC‐1 and R1

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023
The complete genomes of four Halobacterium salinarum strains were compared in detail. Two strains (91‐R6T and 63‐R2) were isolated in 1934 by Lochhead from cow and buffalo hides. From the results of these comparisons, we conclude that strain 63‐R2 is the immediate ancestor of the two, widely used laboratory strains NRC‐1 and R1.
