The paper presents an application of a variance decomposition method for the sensitivity analysis of the thermal hydraulic (TH) model of the Passive Containment Cooling System (PCCS) of an Advanced Pressurized Reactor (AP1000). The Loss Of Coolant Accident (LOCA) is considered as the most representative accident for identifying the Failure Damage Domain (FDD) of the PCCS with respect to the ind...

We wish to obtain accurate structural and thermodynamic properties of both atomic and molecular fluids. Current equations used to describe such quantities have significant shortcomings. In [8], Marucho and Pettitt propose an improvement upon the existing theory. We present a computational approach to solving this new theory and enable simulations of fluid properties change as a function of flui...

Recent developments in the nuclear data libraries used by the ORIGEN-S isotope generation and depletion code have enabled the extension of the code to accurately predict the delayed energy release rates from nuclear decay (decay heat) at very short cooling times of interest to reactor accident analysis. Historically this time domain has required integral methods, such as the ANS5.1 decay heat s...

En el presente artículo se estudia la función dramática de María Josefa dentro estructura La Casa Bernarda Alba. Al concederle papel “loca”, autor convierte en personaje que, a pesar su avanzada edad, rebela contra tiranía hija Bernarda. Así estructurado asemeja las figuras locos y locas presentes teatro español áureo inglés isabelino.

IRSN has developed DRACCAR code in order to model loss of coolant accidents (LOCA) a light water nuclear reactor. The physics during hypothetical accident involves several phenomena such as heat and mass transfers, fluid dynamics, mechanics, chemistry. Even if simulation requires modeling these conjugated processes, it is important validate them separately first—for example, dynamics calculatio...

Make more knowledge even in less time every day. You may not always spend your time and money to go abroad and get the experience and knowledge by yourself. Reading is a good alternative to do in getting this desirable knowledge and experience. You may gain many things from experiencing directly, but of course it will spend much money. So here, by reading location and context awareness third in...

Madura foot is a rare, loca, chronic granulomatous skin infection which commonly affects the adult male foot. Medical treatment reduces the size of the lesion but surgical excision is necessary for radical treatment. We present a case of a 59 year old male farmer diagnosed as actinomadura of the right foot treated with medical treatment, total excision, negative pressure wound therapy and split...
