The present doctoral research aims at the appraisal of nodal core simulators used for the calculation of commercial boiling water reactor (BWR) cores, against measurements carried out at the Paul Scherrer Institute under the LWR-PROTEUS experimental progra ...
The excitation spectrum around the pump-only stationary state of a polariton optical parametric oscillator in semiconductor microcavities is investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence. The response to a weak pulsed perturbation in the vicinity of the ...
Two different methods for estimating the corrosion resistance of low alloy stainless steels are compared: critical pitting temperature according to a modified ASTM G150 with a low chloride concentration (0.1M), and pitting potentials from polarisation curv ...
A consistent analytical comparison has been made of the transient behavior of critical and subcritical fast-spectrum reactor systems, the basic core design assumed in each case being that of the 80-MW(thermal) mixed-oxide-fueled, Pb-Bi-cooled, experimental ...
Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. Their stability is provided by a self-stress state among tensioned and compressed members. Although much progress has been made in advancing research into the tensegrit ...
We demonstrate a novel hybrid platform merging label free nanoplasmonic sensing with actively controlled nanofluidic surface delivery to overcome mass transport limitations. We show 14-fold improvement in mass transport rate constants appearing in the expo ...
We introduce a novel hybrid platform merging label free nanoplasmonic biosensing with actively controlled nanofluidic analyte delivery to overcome mass transport limitations. We show 14-fold improvement in mass transport rate constants appearing in the exp ...
The technique of reaction calorimetry adapted for use with reactions in supercritical fluids was used to study some safety aspects of the free-radical dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in scCO2. The reaction heat rate profile was found to ch ...
Capillarity-driven self-assembly of small chips onto planar target substrates is a promising alternative to robotic pick-and-place assembly. It critically relies on the selective deposition of thin fluid films on patterned binding sites, which is anyway no ...
The system code RAMONA, as well as a recently developed BWR reduced order model (ROM), are employed for the stability analysis of a specific operational point of the Leibstadt nuclear power plant. This has been done in order to assess the ROM's applicabili ...
