The scheme of the 14 MeV intense neutron source based on muon catalyzed fusion is considered taking into account the parameters 01 some existing proton accelerators. Plausible values of neutron intensity and flux are estimated.

This paper presents a device for controlling and connecting combined Renewable Energy Sources (RES)-based generators and electric storage systems to the supply utility grid. The device is a bidirectional converter that can ...

In order to optimize the optoelectronic properties of novel solar cell architectures, such as the amorphous-crystalline interface in silicon heterojunction devices, we calculate and analyze the local microscopic structure ...

In order to optimize the optoelectronic properties of novel solar cell architectures, such as the crystalline-amorphous interface in Silicon heterojunction (c-Si/a-Si:H) devices, an analysis of the local microscopic structure ...

In this paper, a biologically inspired mathematical model to simulate social network behaviours is presented. We propose a computational network of Integrate & Fire (IF) neurons to model the dynamics of spectators in ...

The paper presents a soil water retention model that takes into account the effects of void ratio and hydraulic hysteresis on the variation of degree of saturation. Based on a modified form of the van Genuchten equation, ...

A numerical technique for mesh refinement in the HeaRT (Heat Release and Transfer) numerical code is presented. In the CFD framework, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach is gaining in importance as a tool for simulating ...

This study addresses the time-variant reliability assessment in relation to systems presenting a non-stationary random process during their operation, such as thermal-hydraulic passive systems for advanced reactors, resting ...

Having environmental indications such as those provided by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), while designing a product would reduce the time required by the trial-and-error approach resulting from environmental checks only at ...

Purpose: This study investigates whether the abscopal effect induced by radiation-therapy (RT) is able to sterilize non-irradiated tumour cells through bystander signals. Material and methods: Wild-type (wt)-p53 or p53-null ...
