A STUDY OF LEAKAGE-CORRECTED TWO-STEP METHOD BASED ON THE NODAL EQUIVALENCE THEORY FOR FAST REACTOR ANALYSIS [PDF]
The conventional two-step method based on the generalized equivalence theory (GET) cannot be directly applied to the fast reactor analysis since the assumption of the space-energy separability is not very valid due to a relatively long neutron mean free ...

Dissecting the dynamics of signaling events in the BMP, WNT, and NODAL cascade during self-organized fate patterning in human gastruloids. [PDF]
During gastrulation, the pluripotent epiblast self-organizes into the 3 germ layers-endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm, which eventually form the entire embryo.

COUPLED TRANSIENT ANALYSIS OF A CORE WITH FUEL ASSEMBLY BOWING WITH A HYBRID CTF/DYN3D MODEL [PDF]
Fuel assembly bowing is a known phenomenon observed in many PWR reactors all over the world. The phenomenon is relevant to safety as it can lead to increased water gaps between assemblies which results in higher pin peaking factors.
