Experimental study on thermal expansion properties of GMZ bentonite

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022
Laboratory tests are conducted on the compacted Gaomiaozi (GMZ) bentonite by using the DIL 806 thermal dilatometer. The influences of different factors on the thermal expansion properties of the bentonite are systematically analyzed.

Development of geo-information data management system and application to geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste in China [PDF]

Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2017
In this paper, based on information technology, a geo-information database was established and a geo-information data management system (named as HLW-GIS) was developed to facilitate data management work of the multi-source and multidisciplinary

Linear thermal expansion behavior of compacted bentonite buffer materials

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022
In a geological repository system, buffer is indispensable to ensure the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Because heat generated from spent nuclear fuel in a canister is released to the surrounding buffers, thermal properties of such ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Influence of Functional Group Modification on the Toxicity of Nanoplastics

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous in harvested organisms at various trophic levels, and more concerns on their diverse responses and wide species-dependent sensitivity are continuously increasing.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Identification and characterization of a gene conferring stress resistance in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Functional screening identified PcSyn14890, a cyanobacteria‐specific protein that enhances growth and stress resistance in E. coli and Synechocystis PCC6803. Although we expected it to function as a molecular chaperone, it was unable to protect against thermal aggregation of GAPDH.

An Extension and Application of the Leontief Pollution Model for Waste Generation and Disposal in Scotland [PDF]

, 2004
Solid waste generation, treatment and disposal are important policy concerns for the Scottish Parliament. As a result of the Environment Act 1995, a National Waste Strategy for Scotland was introduced with the general aim of reducing the amount of waste ...

Determination of neutron radiation fields and exposure in geological repositories for high-level spent-fuel radioactive waste

Discover Applied Sciences
The proper and safe disposal of heat-generating nuclear waste from commercial nuclear power plants is the subject of social controversy. This work focuses on the German concept of final storage in rock salt, which is considered a reference for the option

Uptake of 14CO32− by HCP (CEM III/C and CEM III/C + CaCO3) in the presence and absence of ISA and chloride [PDF]

RSC Advances
The retention of 14CO32− by hydrated cement pastes (CEM III/C; CEM III/C + CaCO3) was investigated in the absence and presence of isosaccharinate (ISA, 10−5–0.2 M) and NaCl (≈10−3–2.0 M).
