Culture, thought worldview and language have been
discussed for a long time in different fields from various
perspectives. However, the basis of this study is the view
of language as both the product and producer of people just
as people are the producer and product of language. Each
language requires...
Nanostructured material has been projected to be the next generation material for the detection of ionizing radiation due to the uniquely superior physical processes associated with charge creation and by virtue of their optoelectronic tunablility. Semiconducting Nanocrystal (NC) detectors, by nature of their low band gap material, low fabrication costs,...
Characterization of uranium isotope compositions is of great interest in many nuclear sub-areas for safeguards purposes. Reprocessing facilities utilizing pyroprocessing raised an issue of uranium isotope monitoring due to the difficulty to apply traditional approaches under extreme environments. An rapid and remote method to characterize uranium isotope compositions for such...
In recent years, Oblivious Random Access Memory (ORAM) controllers in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) have become a popular area of investigation, as coresident trusted systems allow for significantly more efficient oblivious execution. Further, in the case of Intel architectures, oblivious execution effectively eliminates the majority of confidentiality leakage holes in...
Faithful modeling of the expected gamma signals inside an electrochemical facility at various key measurement points is important for understanding what detection limits are available for the next generation of safeguards technologies. Gamma Detector Response and Analysis Software (GADRAS) and the Separation Safeguards Performance Model (SSPM) were used to build...
Because of the growth of the nuclear power industry in the United States and the policy to ban reprocessing of commercial spent nuclear fuel, the spent fuel inventory at commercial reactor sites has been increasing. With the Yucca Mountain project on hold, more spent fuel is expected to be stored...
Irradiation of a tryptamine linked through its side-chain nitrogen to an alkylidene malonate residue results in an intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition to the indole 2,3-double bond. The resultant cyclobutane undergoes spontaneous retro-Mannich fission to produce a spiro[indoline-3,3-pyrrolenine] with relative configuration defined by the orientation of substituents in the transient...
Experiments were conducted to establish whether or not calcium and pectin treatments might improve the typically ragged appearance of canned freestone peaches without impairing other desirable characteristics. and thereby make freestone varieties more acceptable for canning.
Accordingly, Elberta peaches were subjected to three types of prepacking treatments, dipping for 30...
