Seismic analysis and design of tunnels within fault ground: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The research methods of seismic response of tunnels within fault ground, including field investigations, analytical solutions, physical experiments, and numerical simulations, and seismic countermeasures are discussed. The present study examines the shortcomings and limitations of the current research and design, and puts forward proposals for future ...

The Verification of Coupled Neutronics Thermal-Hydraulics Code NODAL3 in the PWR Rod Ejection Benchmark

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2014
A coupled neutronics thermal-hydraulics code NODAL3 has been developed based on the few-group neutron diffusion equation in 3-dimensional geometry for typical PWR static and transient analyses.

Adaptive time-stepping for incompressible flow part I: scalar advection-diffusion [PDF]

, 2007
Even the simplest advection-diffusion problems can exhibit multiple time scales. This means that robust variable step time integrators are a prerequisite if such problems are to be efficiently solved computationally.

Understanding Engagement in Collaborative Governance Networks Through Motivation, Learning, and Values

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaborative governance networks are increasingly central to local climate action, yet research offers limited understanding of the personal, psychological, and informal factors that sustain engagement within them. This paper examines how such networks facilitate meaningful and lasting participation through an in‐depth study of Malmö Works, a

Systematic reduction of sign errors in many-body calculations of atoms and molecules

, 2010
The self-healing diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm (SHDMC) [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 79}, 195117 (2009), {\it ibid.} {\bf 80}, 125110 (2009)] is shown to be an accurate and robust method for calculating the ground state of atoms and molecules.

Random Walks Along the Streets and Canals in Compact Cities: Spectral analysis, Dynamical Modularity, Information, and Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

, 2006
Different models of random walks on the dual graphs of compact urban structures are considered. Analysis of access times between streets helps to detect the city modularity.

Adherens junction protein expression is associated with poor response to neoadjuvant FLOT chemotherapy and pro‐inflammatory tumor microenvironment in esophageal adenocarcinoma

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is an aggressive cancer with poor survival and variable response to perioperative chemotherapy. Although histopathological features correlate with outcomes, the relationship specifically between adherens junction (AJ) protein expression and treatment response in EAC remains uncertain.

Rethinking Public Administration Reform: Institutional Layering of Bureaucratic, Managerial and Community Logics Over Time in Nigeria's Tax Administration

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The reform of public institutions has attracted sustained attention in both scholarship and policymaking. Increasingly, however, there is growing recognition that reforms are rarely implemented in an institutional vacuum. Instead, new reforms are layered onto existing arrangements, producing hybrid institutional landscapes shaped by prior ...

Assessment of CTF boiling transition and critical heat flux modeling capabilities using the OECD/NRC BFBT and PSBT benchmark databases [PDF]

, 2011
The need to refine models for best-estimate calculations, based on good-quality experimental data, has been expressed in many recent meetings in the field of nuclear applications.

Topological analysis of the human lymph node reticular network predicts outcome in breast cancer

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Axillary LNs (ALNs) initiate immune responses in breast cancer (BC) but how and when ALNs become dysfunctional, facilitating metastasis, is unclear. The fibroblastic reticular cell (FRC) network within ALNs provides structural support and mediates immune homeostasis, but we have yet to elucidate whether this network changes during BC ...
