Quantifying System Similarity Between EBR-II and the VTR Integral Test Facility Through Hierarchical Two-Tiered Scaling and RELAP5 Simulations

Creator:

Leitherer, Brett C.

Abstract:

Advanced reactor designs offer many advantages over typical Light Water Reactors (LWRs) including fast neutron capability, passive safety features, and improved performance. While the future for these reactors seems promising, operating and test experience is necessary to further validate such claims. The development of full-scale facilities has proved to be...

Role of post-translational modifications to lens proteins in cataract formation

Creator:

Kim, Yung Hae

Abstract:

Cataract is a leading cause of blindness throughout the world, yet the fundamental biochemical causes are unknown. A rodent model of the biochemical processes is selenite cataract. This cataract shows some of the features of human cataracts such as increased lens calcium, proteolysis of proteins, and insolubilization leading to lens...

Spatial pattern and dynamics of hardwood patches in the Coast Range of Oregon, 1939-1993

Creator:

Hess, Rebecca Susan

Abstract:

Analysis of the long-term spatial pattern and dynamics of hardwood patches in the Coast Range of Oregon provides numerous ecological insights. Natural and anthropogenic disturbances have contributed to the development of a patchy mosaic of vegetation types in the area. Some hardwood patches in the Coast Range may be the...
