Fabrication of Thorium and Thorium Dioxide
Natural Science, 2015 Thorium based nuclear fuel is of immense interest to India by virtue of the abundance of Thorium and relative shortage of Uranium. Thorium metal tubes were being cold drawn using copper as cladding to prevent die seizure. After cold drawing, the copper was removed by dissolution in nitric acid. Thorium does not dissolve being passivated by nitric acid.

Preliminary Study of Transient Simulations in the MSRE Primary Loop with Modelica/TRANSFORM
EnergiesCompared to conventional solid-fueled reactors, the liquid fuel transport in molten salt reactors (MSRs) leads to a strong coupling between thermal-hydraulics and neutronics.

The unusual role of surface recrystallization on creep damage behavior of GH3535 alloy weld metal
Journal of Materials Research and TechnologyIt is generally believed that surface recrystallization is detrimental to the mechanical properties of superalloys. However, in our study, surface recrystallization exerts a double-edged effect on the creep damage behavior of GH3535 alloy weld metal at ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Both cg12821679MAPRE3 methylation and MAPRE3 expression are significantly associated with overall survival (OS) of non‐small cell lung cancer. Meanwhile, MAPRE3 expression significantly modified the effect of smoking cessation on OS. Smoking cessation benefits OS merely for patients with high MAPRE3 expression.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood before surgery may help predict outcomes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show when combined with tumor size and lymph node involvement from routine imaging, CTC status identifies high‐risk patients with poorer survival—offering a simple, minimally invasive tool ...
