The mass flow of Plutonium and minor actinides is calculated for a future LWR-FBR fuel cycle model, in which a certain scale of power generation by LWRs is continued for a long period before the replacement by FBRs begins. The burnup of the LWR spent fuel is considered to be higher than the current standard. It is assumed that all the Plutonium and minor actinides recovered from LWRs are kept a...

The most common sites of metastases in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are lung and bone. However, unusual sites, including the stomach, are characteristic of RCC.This article presents a case of a metastatic RCC (lung and liver) with a symptomatic gastric metastasis treated by a laparoscopic wedge resection (LWR).A 66-year-old woman, diagnosed with RCC underwent a right nephrectomy. During her follo...

This paper describes the implementation of long wave radiation (LWR) exchange as part of a co-simulation process of an urban scale simulation program, CitySim, and a building scale program, EnergyPlus. This coupling process was achieved through the use of functional mockup units (FMU) to exchange various weather, load, and environmental information between the two simulation engines. LWR is an ...

This master’s thesis gives a brief overview of mathematical modelling of traffic flow from different perspectives. Focus lies on the fluid flow analogy first derived by Lighthill, Whitham and Richards (LWR) in the 1950’s which treats a traffic stream as a compressible one-dimensional fluid. The LWR theory is applied to bottleneck queueing situations, more specifically to junctions with one outg...

Consistently with the CTB goal “to accelerate the transition of research and development into improved operational climate forecasts, products and applications”, the proposed collaborative research will lead to improving the computational performance for operational seasonal climate predictions. The proposed study will take an advantage of the NCEP CTB that “will provide an operational testing ...

The Learning with Rounding (LWR) problem was first introduced by Banerjee, Peikert, and Rosen (Eurocrypt 2012) as a derandomized form of the standard Learning with Errors (LWE) problem. The original motivation of LWR was as a building block for constructing efficient, low-depth pseudorandom functions on lattices. It has since been used to construct reusable computational extractors, lossy trapd...

We introduce a new model of traffic flow with phase transitions. The model is obtained by coupling together the classical Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) equation with the 2 × 2 system described in [A. Aw and M. Rascle, Resurrection of “second order” models of traffic flow, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 60 (2000), pp. 916–938]. We describe the solutions of the Riemann problem, and we compare the result...

This paper suggests a new load aware routing (LWR) enhancement that improves on-demand routing protocols significantly in ad hoc networks. This paper describes deterministic characteristics of ad hoc networks and suggests improved routing strategies that can sustain the network functionality even under highly stressful data traffic. LWR evenly distributes the load throughout the networks. It al...

The kinematic wave traffic flow model for an inhomogeneous road is studied as a resonant nonlinear system, where an additional conservation law is introduced to model time-invariant road inhomogeneities such as changes in grades or number of lanes. This resonant system has two families of waves, one of which is a standing wave originated at the inhomogeneity. The nature of these waves are exami...

Transforming research results into marketable products requires considerable endurance and a strong sense of entrepreneurship. The KUKA Lightweight Robot (LWR) is the latest outcome of a bilateral research collaboration between KUKA Roboter, Augsburg, and the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Wessling. The LWR has unique characteristics including a low...
