Experimental discussion on fragmentation mechanism of molten oxide discharged into a sodium pool

Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2016
In a probable scenario for core disruptive accidents of Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs), it is foreseen that molten core material would be discharged into lower sodium plenums through control rod guide tubes.

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

Accelerated corrosion and irradiation-assisted degradation of cast Aluminum–B

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
Aluminum–boron carbide (Al–B 4 C) neutron absorbers are widely used in spent nuclear fuel wet storage systems to maintain subcriticality, yet their long-term degradation under coupled corrosion and irradiation damage remains unclear.

Electrochemical Oxidation of Chlorination By-Products in Swimming Pool Water

Water
Reactions between nitrogen-containing compounds and free chlorine in swimming pools produce several undesirable by-products, with trichloramine (TCA) being especially problematic due to its odor and hazardous properties, causing respiratory symptoms and skin and eye irritation for swimmers and personnel.

Oxidation of cellular amino acid pools leads to cytotoxic mistranslation of the genetic code [PDF]

eLife, 2014
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases use a variety of mechanisms to ensure fidelity of the genetic code and ultimately select the correct amino acids to be used in protein synthesis. The physiological necessity of these quality control mechanisms in different environments remains unclear, as the cost vs benefit of accurate protein synthesis is difficult to ...

Two- and three-dimensional experiments for oxide pool in in-vessel retention of core melts

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2017
To investigate the heat loads imposed on a reactor vessel through the natural convection of core melts in severe accidents, mass transfer experiments were performed based on the heat transfer/mass transfer analogy, using two- (2-D) and three-dimensional (

BCG vaccination potentiates oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal myeloid‐derived suppressor cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
BCG vaccination enhances oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal MDSCs, impairing their immunosuppressive function. It upregulates electron transport chain genes and mitochondrial activity, increasing ATP and oxygen consumption. Pharmacological OXPHOS inhibition partially restores suppressive capacity, confirming causality.
