1.1 History of Accelerator Driven System Activities Since the early 1990’s, accelerator driven systems (ADS) – subcritical assemblies driven by high power proton accelerators through a spallation target which is neutronically coupled to the core – have been proposed for addressing certain missions in advanced nuclear fuel cycles. Institutes throughout the world have conducted numerous programs ...

In the current study, we used four soybean varieties PK-1029, PK-472, NRC-7, and Hardee to examine effect of exclusion solar UV radiation on photosynthetic efficiency test possible variety-dependent sensitivity ambient (280-400 nm). Plants that were grown under filters had higher chlorophyll a b, efficiencies PSII more active reaction centers indicated substantially affected by radiation. The s...

Aim: investigate the implications of HFD induced obesity on lipid profile in parent rats and their offspring. Methodology: Twenty adult female (100 - 150g) were grouped into A B which received NRC respectively for 16 weeks. Group with BMI >0.50g/cm2 considered obese. Adult male Wistar fed introduced to each group, ensure mating pregnancy after feeding. The offspring produced by group...

Abstract What if you could tune the temperature of fixed point used to calibrate your thermometer continuously between freezing points zinc (692.677 K) and silver (1234.93 while maintaining uniform environment (±10 mK) along 20 cm zone for hours at a time with an uncertainty approaching fraction mK? We are aiming do exactly that by using set caesium- sodium-filled pressure controlled heat pipes...

BACKGROUND It is unknown how well the trimester-specific recommendations for gestational weight gain (GWG) given by the Institute of Medicine/National Research Council (IOM/NRC) identify women at risk of GWG outside IOM/NRC recommendations for total GWG. OBJECTIVE We assessed the prognostic value of trimester-specific cutoffs for inadequate or excessive total GWG in term pregnancies. DESIGN...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels of protein to black Baladi breed kids. Weanling Baladi kids (n=18; 75 to 90 days old) were selected and individually housed at our experimental farm. Kids were divided randomly to one of the three treatments for 12 weeks. The three dietary treatments were: T1: control ration, formulated according to NRC to cover the protei...

In 2001 a directive was issued to establish the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) to deal with the growing problem of substance misuse in the United Arab Emirates. The NRC has achieved many goals as a treatment and rehabilitation facility as well as a drug and alcohol demand reduction response centre. It is now working towards being an international centre of excellence.

We describe an efficient neural network method to automatically learn sentiment lexicons without relying on any manual resources. The method takes inspiration from the NRC method, which gives the best results in SemEval13 by leveraging emoticons in large tweets, using the PMI between words and tweet sentiments to define the sentiment attributes of words. We show that better lexicons can be lear...

Using a functional genetic approach, we previously identified a novel genetic locus, NRC-1 (Wonpapillary /fermi Cell Carcinoma /). that medi ated tumor suppression and rapid cell death of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells in vivo. For these experiments, a defined subchromosomal fragment of human chromosome 3p was transferred into a sporadic RCC cell line via microcell fusion, and microcell hybri...
