Reproducing the CO-to-H₂ conversion factor in cosmological simulations of Milky-Way-mass galaxies [PDF]

, 2020
We present models of CO(1–0) emission from Milky-Way-mass galaxies at redshift zero in the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations. We calculate the molecular abundances by post-processing the simulations with an equilibrium chemistry solver while ...

SINBAD – Radiation shielding benchmark experiments

Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2021
Abstract The creation of an international shielding benchmark database was presented in 1988 at the International Reactor Shielding Conference (ICRS7) in Bournemouth, UK. M. Salvatores was among the authors of the proposal and had promoted and contributed to the project since the first initiatives, showed continued interest and encouraged the ...

Durability assessment of mechanochemically activated geopolymer concrete with a low molarity alkali solution

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The prevailing practices of geopolymer concrete (GC) preparation use a high concentration of alkali activators, which is uneconomical. It is imperative to develop GC of low-concentration activators with enhanced durability for field implementation ...

Radiation safety based on the sky shine effect in reactor [PDF]

, 2020
In the reactor operation, neutrons and gamma rays are the most dominant radiation. As protection, lead and concrete shields are built around the reactor. However, the radiation can penetrate the water shielding inside the reactor pool.
