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 ...
In recent years, higher discharge burn-ups and initial fuel enrichments have led to more and more heterogeneous core configurations in light water reactors (LWRs), especially at the beginning of cycle when fresh fuel assemblies are loaded next to highly bu ...
In this paper, we consider nonlinear Schrodinger equations of the following type: -Delta u(x) + V (x) u(x) -q(x)|u(x)|sigma u(x) =lambda u(x), x is an element of R-N, u is an element of H-1(R-N) \ {0}, where N >= 2 and sigma > 0. We concentrate on situatio ...

Following earlier work on some special cases [17,11] and on the analogous problem in higher dimensions [10,20], we make a more thorough investigation of the bifurcation points for a nonlinear boundary value problem of the form -{A(x)u' (x)}'.= f (lambda, x ...
We describe the bifurcation diagrams of almost toric integrable Hamiltonian systems on a four dimensional symplectic manifold M, not necessarily compact. We prove that, under a weak assumption, the connectivity of the fibers of the induced singular Lagrang ...
Schistosomiasis is one of the most widespread public health problems in the world. In this work, we introduce an eco-epidemiological model for its transmission and dynamics with the purpose of explaining both intra-and inter-annual fluctuations of disease ...
This article is concerned with the existence and orbital stability of standing waves for a nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) with a nonautonomous nonlinearity. It continues and concludes the series of papers [6, 7, 8]. In [6], the authors make use of a ...
In this paper, reconstructed local fission rates obtained with the two-group nodal diffusion program PRESTO-2, used at the Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant (KKL) in Switzerland, are compared with experimental results and MCNPX calculations. The experimental f ...
Antidunes are bed morphologies often observed in steep slope mountain flows but also in small streams flowing on a sand beach. Linear stability analysis of the shallow water equations (SWE), when coupled to a sediment transport equation, predicts the growt ...
We present a novel approach to fully automated reconstruction of tree structures in noisy 2D images. Unlike in earlier approaches, we explicitly handle crossovers and bifurcation points, and impose geometric constraints while optimizing a global cost funct ...
