Alloy 22 (Ni-22Cr-13Mo-3Fe-3W) is a candidate alloy for nuclear materials storage containers in the High LevelNuclear Waste Repository as well as for other applications. In this study, we present the results of our investigation onthe corrosion behavior of Alloy 22 as a function of temperature and concentration in a complex multi-ionic electrolyte.This electrolyte used in this study...

In this study, we compared in vitro calcium binding by the taurine and glycine conjugates of the major bile acids in human bile: cholic (CA), chenodeoxycholic (CDCA) and deoxycholic (DCA) acids, together with the cholelitholytic bile acids unodeoxycholic (UDCA) and unocholic (UCA) acids. At physiological total calcium ( C a m ) (1-15 mM) and bile acid (BA) (10-50 mM) concentrations, all the bil...

Although integral and differential nonlinearity may not be the most important parameters for highspeed, high dynamic performance data converters, they gain significance when it comes to high-resolution imaging applications. The following application note serves as a refresher course for their definitions and details two different, yet commonly used techniques to measure INL and DNL in high-spee...

Troubleshooting in a practice situation requires two types of information, namely for reasoning about the problem-cause and for finding an adequate solution (declarative information) and for manipulating the environment (procedural information). It is hypothesized that presenting this information piece-by-piece during practice (i.e., presentation of declarative and procedural information separa...

This paper extends three decades of work arguing that instead of focusing only on (adult) human minds, we should study many kinds of minds, natural and artificial, and try to understand the space containing all of them, by studying what they do, how they do it, and how the natural ones can be emulated in synthetic minds. That requires: (a) understanding sets of requirements that are met by diff...
