Isolation and identification of bacteria from spent nuclear fuel pools

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2005
The aim of the present research was to isolate and identify bacteria from spent nuclear fuel pools of a Spanish nuclear power plant. Water samples were collected and inoculated onto different culture media to isolate the highest number of species. 16S rDNA fragments from colonies growing on solid media were amplified and analysed by denaturing gradient

T‐Cell Exhaustion in the Tumor Microenvironment: Subcellular Dysfunction, Pan‐Cancer Characteristics, and Therapeutic Interventions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates the mechanisms of subcellular multidimensional collapse in exhausted T cells. By specifically targeting the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum, strategic interventions can effectively remodel the compromised organelle network. This integrated approach drives comprehensive T cell resuscitation, ultimately establishing

A practical review of energy saving technology for ageing populations [PDF]

, 2017
Fuel poverty is a critical issue for a globally ageing population. Longer heating/cooling requirements combine with declining incomes to create a problem in need of urgent attention.

Understanding Egg Price Volatility and Policy Implications in the U.S. With Machine Learning

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eggs are an inexpensive and sustainable source of proteins, but volatility in the U.S. egg prices has intensified in recent years, raising concerns over food affordability and market stability. This study examines the drivers of U.S. egg price dynamics over 2004–2025 using a two‐stage framework that combines LASSO‐based variable selection with

Criticality effect according to axial burnup profiles in PWR burnup credit analysis

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2019
The purpose of the critical evaluation of the spent fuel pool (SFP) is to verify that the maximum effective multiplication factor (Keff) is less than the critical safety limit at 100% stored condition of the spent fuel with the maximum reactivity.

DECAY HEAT CALCULATION FOR SPENT FUEL POOL APPLICATION

Journal of Energy : Energija, 2017
The automatic procedure was developed for fuel assembly decay heat calculation based on PARCS 3D burnup calculation for fuel cycle depletion, and ORIGEN 2.1 calculation during both depletion and fuel cooling. Using appropriate pre-processor and post-processor codes it is possible to calculate fuel assembly decay heat loads for all fuel assemblies ...

The Biofuels Blueprint: Understanding the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We provide a comprehensive review of the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), synthesizing nearly two decades of program evolution, market outcomes, and economic analysis. The RFS mandates minimum volumes of renewable fuel blending through a nested structure based on life‐cycle greenhouse gas reductions, enforced via tradeable Renewable ...

Improved Measurement of Electron Antineutrino Disappearance at Daya Bay [PDF]

, 2012
We report an improved measurement of the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. We exclude a zero value for $\sin^22\theta_{13}$ with a significance of 7.7 standard deviations.
