Slow ramp-type transient-overpower tests were performed within the framework of the international CABRI-2 experimental program. The implemented power transients of ~1% nominal power/s correspond to a control rod withdrawal-type accident in a liquid-metal-cooled fast breeder reactor (FBR). The analysis of the tests inc…

The availability of xylan-type polysaccharides, representing an immense resource of biopolymers for practical application, is summarized. Xylans constitute 25–35% of the dry biomass of woody tissues of dicots and lignified tissues of monocots and occur up to 50% in some tissues of cereal grains. The most potential sou…

A strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from TiO2 nanoparticles is firstly obtained in a nanostructural Ag–TiO2 calabash-like hybrid particle powder synthesized by γ-radiation combined with a hydrothermal treatment. Visible luminescence, due to the interband transitions of TiO2 nanoparticles, is broadened by…

The numerical performance of a finite-difference modal method for the analysis of one-dimensional lamellar gratings in a classical mounting is studied. The method is simple and relies on first-order finite difference in the grating to solve the Maxwell differential equations. The finite-difference scheme incorporates…

Optical fibres that are permanently installed in nuclear reactors (fission or fusion) or at high energy physics accelerators can accumulate considerable long-lived radiation-induced loss. Four different fibre types were irradiated up to dose values from 10/sup 3/ to 10/sup 6/ Gy and an attempt was made to reduce the r…

Melts of the alloys Al-Pd-Mn, Al-Co, and Al-Fe are containerlessly undercooled and solidified using the technique of electromagnetic levitation. The (quasi)crystal growth velocity is measured as a function of undercooling for the various phases by a high-speed infrared photosensing device. Additionally, a video image…

Magnetic cation of Co 2+ was incorporated in a monovalent [Ni(dmit) 2 ] - (2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) salt by using the supramolecular framework of 15-crown-5. The π-spins of [Ni(dmit) 2 ] - formed a one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic linear chain, while the d-spin of Co 2+ behaved as a free S = 3…
