The challenge of developing the conceptual design of the ECH Upper Launcher system for MHD control in the ITER plasmas has been tackled by team of European Associations together with the European Domestic Agency ("F4E"). The launcher system has to meet the ...
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small DNA virus belonging to the family of the parvoviridae. AAV infects the human population, however no disease has been associated with this virus. On the contrary, AAV was reported to have oncosuppressive activities. T ...
In this dissertation, we investigated the effect of poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel network structures on various cellular activities such as proliferation and matrix production using chondrocytes as a cell source. We have used various methods to alter the ...
Advanced analytical techniques have been used to characterize nuclear materials at the Paul Scherrer Institute during the last decade. The analysed materials ranged from reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels, Zircaloy claddings to fuel samples. The processe ...
The advanced fast reactors of the fourth generation should be capable to breed their own fuel from poorly fissile 238U and to recycle the actinides from their own spent fuel. However, this recycling or actually the closure of fuel cycle has negative impact ...
The behavior of metals at high pressure is of great importance to the fields of shock physics, geophysics, astrophysics, and nuclear materials. We study here bulk crystalline aluminum from first principles at pressures up to 2500 GPa - soon within reach of ...
The phase diagram of the classical J1–J2 model on the kagome lattice is investigated by using extensive Monte Carlo simulations. In a realistic range of parameters, this model has a low-temperature chiral-ordered phase without long-range spin order. We sho ...
A mixed quantum-classical method aimed at the study of nonadiabatic dynamics in the presence of external electromagnetic fields is developed within the framework of time-dependent density functional theory. To this end, we use a trajectory-based descriptio ...
The Institute of Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (France) is planning the set-up of an automatic nuclear aerosol monitoring network over the French territory. Each of the stations will be able to automatically sample the air aerosol content and pro ...
Somatic cell nuclear transfer and transcription-factor-based reprogramming revert adult cells to an embryonic state, and yield pluripotent stem cells that can generate all tissues. Through different mechanisms and kinetics, these two reprogramming methods ...
