Traditional readings of George Bernard Shaw's texts suggest that he is not a pure
Marxist socialist because of the spiritual and nationalist aspects of his vision. This thesis
attempts to confront Shaw's politics in order to demonstrate that he indeed offers a viable
socialist program. Overlaying his socialism with Louis...
Euphausiids are recognized as essential components of marine food webs throughout the world’s oceans due to their role as prey for many species including whales, seabirds, and commercial fishes. The Kitimat Fjord System is an important fisheries area and is the only fjord habitat on the British Columbia coast that...

A method of calculating decay heat is presented which is a simplification of existing calculational methods, the summation method in particular. The method involves the assumption that one physical process, neutron capture, is negligible in order to simplify the governing physical equations. A Greens function is derived and the decay...
The uncertainty in decay energy for those fission products
which contribute significantly to reactor shutdown
power was evaluated. The methodology used assigned significantly
larger uncertainties for data which were theoretically
predicted than it did for experimentally determined
data. The uncertainty was modeled as an increasing function
of distance from beta...
The experimental measurements of the decay heat from
the products of the thermal fission of U-235 have been compared
with the OSU-proposed decay heat standard. These experiments
are intended to verify the decay heat calculational
methods and nuclear data files. The comparisons have
included the previous experiments reviewed by Perry...
There are two primary methods of determining the decay
heat generated after the shutdown of a nuclear reactor. One
of these methods is integral experimental measurement of
decay heat from the products of thermal-neutron fission of
235
U. The other method is a summation calculation (computer
codes) based on nuclear...
The magnitude of the effect on decay heat of neutron
capture by fission products for hypothesized "worst case"
irradiations was examined. This effect is shown to be
small (less than 2 percent) for times less than 1,000
seconds and a simple model is presented for estimating
the magnitude of the...
