Theoretical applications to nuclear astrophysics [PDF]
Nuclear reaction study is important to understand elemental abundance in the universe and stability of stars. For several reactions due to the paucity of experimental data or diffculties in performing the direct measurements, we depend upon theoretical ...

Study of effective interaction from single particle transfer reactions on f-p shell nuclei [PDF]
The present study concentrates on the average effective two-body interaction matrix elements being extracted, using sum-rule techniques, from transfer reactions on target states having single orbital as well as two orbitaloccupancy. This investigation deals with transfer reactions on f-p shell nuclei involving (i) $1f_{7/2}$ and $2p_{3/2}$ transfer on ...

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization and Other Magnetic Ideas at EPFL
Although nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can provide a wealth of information, it often suffers from a lack of sensitivity. Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) provides a way to increase the polarization and hence the signal intensities in NMR ...

Advances in equine cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique in horses: a review [PDF]
Cloning a horse means using the genetic material (DNA) from a donor horse to produce a genetically identical foal. This technique involves collecting the DNA from the donor and inserting that DNA into an egg from another mare whose, DNA content has been removed, fusing donor nucleus with enucleated recipient oocytes, which then develops as an embryo ...

Developing new methods to investigate nuclear physics input to the cosmological lithium problem
A significant challenge to nuclear astrophysics is the cosmological lithium problem, where models of Big Bang nucleosynthesis indicate abundances of 7Li two to four times larger than what is inferred via spectroscopic measurements of metal-poor stars ...

Particle transfer reactions with the time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory using a particle number projection technique [PDF]
A particle-number projection technique is used to calculate transfer probabilities in the $^{16}$O+$^{208}$Pb reaction below the fusion barrier. The time evolution of the many-body wave function is obtained with the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) mean-field theory.

Challenge, State-of-art and Future of Two-phase Flow in Light-water Nuclear Reactor
The two-phase flow is a vital topic of thermal-hydraulic research in light-water nuclear reactors. The fluid dynamics and heat transfer characteristics of two-phase flow impact the safety and efficiency of nuclear power plants. The two-phase flow results

Ab Initio Nuclear Reaction Theory with Applications to Astrophysics [PDF]
We present an introduction to ab initio nuclear theory with a focus on nuclear reactions. After a high-level overview of ab initio approaches in nuclear physics, we give a more detailed description of the no-core shell model technique equivalent to a large extent to configuration-interaction methods applied in quantum chemistry.

Goat incubator: Can bovine oocytes be matured in the uterine horn of a goat?
We used a goat as a live incubator, along with associated nonsurgical embryo transfer techniques, to perform ex situ (in vivo) maturation of bovine oocytes.
