We describe a model for deploying radiation detectors on a transportation network consisting of two adversaries: a nuclear-material smuggler and an interdictor. The interdictor first installs the detectors. These installations are transparent to the smuggler, and are made under an uncertain threat scenario, which specifies the smuggler’s origin and destination, the nature of the material being ...

Water availability in Mount Ciremai National Parks (MCNP) is influenced by sustainability of the vegetation. Therefore, tree regeneration around water springs area needs to be investigated maintain ecosystem future. The purpose this study was analyzed and identify natural seedlings Seda Block MCNP. collections vegetation abiotic data carried out on 9 sample plots measuring 3 m × which purposive...

Double heterogeneity of randomly located pebbles in the core and Coated Fuel Particles (CFPs) in the pebbles are specific features in pebble bed reactors and usually, because of difficulty to model with MCNP code capabilities, are neglected. In this study, characteristics of HTR-10, Tsinghua University research reactor, are used and not only double heterogeneous but also truncated CFPs and Pebb...

A great challenge in simulations in the area of radiotherapy is to character the source, since the equipment’s manufacturers don’t provide specifics information about this. This work presents an empiric method for characterization of the ray-X beams of 6,0 MV and 10 MV originating from a linear accelerator of the mark Varian model 2100C. The experimental values of the percentage of deep dose (P...

Pohang Neutron Facility (PNF) is a pulsed neutron facility based on the 100-MeV electron linear accelerator. It was constructed for nuclear data production in Korea, and it consists of an electron linear accelerator, a watercooled Ta target with a water moderator and a time-offlight path with an 11 m length. The 100-MeV electron linac uses a thermionic RF-gun, an alpha magnet, four quadrupole m...

The neutron energy spectra have been calculated in the fuel region, inner and outer irradiation sites of the zero power research reactor using the MCNP-4C code and the combination of the WIMS-D/4 transport code for generation of group constants and the three-dimensional CITATION diffusion code for core analysis calculations. The neutron energy spectrum has been divided into three regions and co...

This study examined the effect of transfer of overlapping regions of chromosome 5 that includes (4A(+)) or excludes (4A(-)) the cytochrome P-450 4A (CYP4A) genes from the Lewis rat on the renal production of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) and the development of hypertension-induced renal disease in congenic strains of Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl S) rats. The production of 20-HETE was h...

as a result of higher distributed consanguinity in the mediterranean region and the middle east, autosomal-recessive forms of charcot-marie-tooth (arcmt) are more common in these areas. cmt disease caused by mutations in the ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (gdap1) gene is a severe autosomal recessive neuropathy resulting in either demyelinating cmt4a neuropathy or axona...

Objective(s): Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with circadian disruption. Our previous experimental results have showed that dietary Lycium barbarum. polysaccharide (LBP-4a) exhibited hypoglycemic and improving insulin resistance (IR) activities. This study was to explore the mechanisms of LBP-4a for improving hyperglycemia and IR by regulating biological rhythms in T2DM rats. Mat...
