In cooperation with other institutions, GRS adapts and validates the CFX code developed by ANSYS for LWR containment applications. In a severe accident scenario in a LWR large amounts of steam and hydrogen are released into the containment at different locations. To simulate the main phenomena relevant for accident scenarios within LWR containments models, especially the ones provided to CFX by...

This study provides length-weight relationships (LWR) that had not yet been reported for four fish species belonging to different families: Chrysichthys johnelsi Daget, 1959, Cynoglossus senegalensis (Kaup, 1858), Citharichthys stampflii (Steindachner, 1894) and Pseudotolithus typus, Bleeker, 1863. Data were collected in the Fatala estuary, republic of Guinea, each month between January 1993 Ma...

Background: Although routine measurements are taken at birth, the derivable benefits from their interpretations have not been maximized in care of newborn. 
 Aim: To determine relationship between placental weight (PW) maternal biosocial characteristics, birth (BW) and placental-to-birth-weight ratio (PBWR) on immediate follow up newborn.
 Methods: A cross-sectional study involving pa...

Length-weight relationships (W = aLb) were estimated for 5 fish species, the pearl stingray Fontitrygon margaritella (Compagno & Roberts, 1984), West African spadefish Chaetodipterus lippei (Steindachner, 1895), East Atlantic Ephippus goreensis (Cuvier, 1831), law croaker Pseudotolithus senegallus 1830) and Guinean sole Dagetichthys cadenati (Chabanaud, 1948). Fishes collected during several sc...

In this paper, we investigate an optimization problem related to super-replicating strategies for European-type call options written on a weighted sum of asset prices, following the initial approach in Chen et al. (2008). Three issues are investigated. The first issue is the (non-)uniqueness of the optimal solution. The second issue is the generalization to an optimization problem where the wei...
