Development of self-actuated shutdown system for sodium-cooled fast reactor (Study on component materials suitable for fast reactors)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020
The self-actuated shutdown system (SASS) is a reactor shutdown system that is able to achieve passively de-tach the absorber rod based on the coolant temperature rise under the any type of abnormal conditions and then the absorber rods will be inserted ...

Direct Experimental Evidence for Differing Reactivity Alterations of Minerals following Irradiation: The Case of Calcite and Quartz [PDF]

, 2015
Concrete, a mixture formed by mixing cement, water, and fine and coarse mineral aggregates is used in the construction of nuclear power plants (NPPs), e.g., to construct the reactor cavity concrete that encases the reactor pressure vessel, etc.

Power of a quasi-spin quantum Otto engine at negative effective temperature [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Heat engines usually operate by exchanging heat with thermal baths at different (positive) temperatures. Nonthermal baths may, however, lead to a significant performance boost. We here experimentally analyze the power output of a single-atom quantum Otto engine realized in the quasi-spin states of individual Cesium atoms interacting with an atomic ...

Interaction vesicles as emerging mediators of host‐pathogen molecular crosstalk and their implications for infection dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Spin squeezing of atomic ensembles via nuclear-electronic spin entanglement [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 073601 (2008), 2008
Entangled many body systems have recently attracted significant attention in various contexts. Among them, spin squeezed atoms and ions have raised interest in the field of precision measurements, as they allow to overcome quantum noise of uncorrelated particles.
