Tritium in the Environment from Nuclear Powerplants [PDF]

open access: yesPublic Health Reports (1896-1970), 1969
T IRITIUM, an isotope of hydrogen with an atomic mass number of three, is produced in nuclear reactors in substantial quantities. Although tritium is one lof the least hazardous radioactive nuclides, its continued production and long half-life for radioactive decay may lead to increased levels in the environment.

Theoretical and experimental evaluation of the spark-ignition premixed oxy-fuel combustion concept for future CO2 captive powerplants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
[EN] Oxy-fuel combustion concept is one of the most promising technologies not only to avoid NOx emissions, but also to reduce CO, unburned hydrocarbons and soot emissions in combustion-based powerplants.

Comparison of financing costs for wind turbine and fossil powerplants [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
This paper compares the financing costs of wind turbine powerplants with those of fossil powerplants. The goal of this examination is to determine the extent to which these costs differ and what the sources of such differences may be.

Fused Collapsing for Wide BVH Construction

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose a novel approach for constructing wide bounding volume hierarchies on the GPU by integrating a simple bottom‐up collapsing procedure within an existing binary bottom‐up BVH builder. Our approach directly constructs a wide BVH without traversing a temporary binary BVH as done by previous approaches and achieves 1.4 – 1.6 × lower ...

UBVH: Unified Bounding Volume and Scene Geometry Representation for Ray Tracing

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) are currently the most common data structure used to accelerate ray tracing. The existing BVH methods distinguish between the bounding volume representation associated with the interior BVH nodes and the scene geometry representation associated with leaf nodes.

Phytoplankton growth and potential cyanotoxin production differ in response to nitrogen and phosphorus amendments in late summer communities from Kabetogama Lake (Minnesota, United States)

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanotoxins such as microcystin (MC), cylindrospermopsin, and saxitoxin are secondary metabolites that are rich in nitrogen (N). Most cyanobacteria grow best on reduced inorganic N (ammonium, NH4), but when NH4 is absent, cyanobacteria can activate physiological pathways to process other N forms (e.g., nitrate; NO3).

Non‐Additive Interactions Between Multiple Mutualists and Host Plant Genotype Simultaneously Promote Increased Plant Growth and Pathogen Defence

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4134-4151, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of microbial interactions on plants is critical for maintaining healthy native ecosystems and sustainable agricultural practices. Despite the reality that genetically distinct plants host multiple microbes of large effect in the field, it remains unclear the extent to which host genotypes modulate non‐additive ...

Applications of Elastomers in Solid Rocket Powerplants

open access: yes, 1966
Application of elastomers in the manufacture of solid-propelled powerplants is discussed. Thermal, ablative, and erosion-resistant properties of elastomeric composite materials are influenced by the composition of the elastomeric binder, the shape and ...
