Under laboratory conditions, elevated temperatures accelerated production of gametes. However, when conditioning for spawning at elevated temperatures was
initiated early in the season (January-March), larval survival and number of spat collected were significantly lower than when conditioning was initiated in may or June. At elevated temperatures, broodstock oysters were fed...
A system to perform neutron radiographic analysis of dynamic
events taking place over the order of several milliseconds has been
developed at Oregon State University. The design consists of a TRIGA
reactor capable of pulsing to 3000 MW peak power, a neutron beam
collimator with an L/D of about 30:1,...
Fire is an important disturbance mechanism in big sagebrush (Artemisia
tridentata) communities, yet little is known about wildlife population dynamics during
post-fire habitat succession. I estimated the abundance of small mammals and birds in
relation to fire history in mountain big sagebrush (A.t. spp. vaseyana) communities on the
Sheldon National...
Fuel loading patterns which have a minimum power peak are
economically desirable to allow power reactors to operate at the highest
possible power density and to minimize the possibility of fuel
failure. A computer code called SHUFLE was developed for pressurized
water reactors which shuffles the fuel in search of...
Nanotechnology is of increasing significance. Curation of nanomaterial data into electronic databases offers opportunities to better understand and predict nanomaterials’ behaviour. This supports innovation in, and regulation of, nanotechnology. It is commonly understood that curated data need to be sufficiently complete and of sufficient quality to serve their intended purpose....

Reactor refueling is a computationally intensive
problem solving process that requires automation since
significant resources are expended upon the search for
an optimal core loading. Without imposing some
constraints upon the configurations investigated, an
extremely large number of prototype loadings may be
generated without discovery of an improved loading. As...
