Innovative thermophysical characterization of an ATF composite cladding: the case of silicon carbide
Nuclear power is a powerful technology that plays an important role in the fight against climate change, and research is continuously engaged in studies that could further improve its safety. After the Fukushima accident, Accident Tolerant Fuels research h ...
EPFL2024Analysis of the preliminary campaign for the PETALE program
Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Thomas Jean-François Ligonnet, Axel Guy Marie Laureau
The PETALE program aims to provide new experimental data to constrain the stainless steel nuclear data. In this frame, a preliminary measurement campaign has been performed to characterize the neutron flux in key positions of the CROCUS reactor and to deve ...
EDP SCIENCES S A2023Comprehensive analysis of the circadian nuclear and cytoplasmic transcriptome in mouse liver
Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Clémence Yumie Syloun Hurni
In eukaryotes, RNA is synthesised in the nucleus, spliced, and exported to the cytoplasm where it is translated and finally degraded. Any of these steps could be subject to temporal regulation during the circadian cycle, resulting in daily fluctuations of ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2022Delayed gamma fraction determination in the zero power reactor CROCUS
Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Oskari Ville Pakari, Pavel Frajtag, Tom Mager
Gamma rays are an inextricable part of a nuclear reactor's radiation field, and as such require characterization for dose rate estimations required for the radiation protection of personnel, material choices, and the design of nuclear facilities. Most comm ...
EDP SCIENCES S A2021Circadian dynamics of RNA localisation in the mammalian liver
Gene expression in eukaryotes is a complex multi-step process. It starts in the nucleus with transcription, the synthesis of a mRNA copy from a DNA template. While in the nucleus, the RNA transcript is subject to multiple co- and post-transcriptional modif ...
