Different techniques are utilized to analyze shear walls like shell elements model or column analogy.Framework method (FWM) is used to substitute the shell elements.A rectangular model of rigidly-connected plane framework is adopted here.FWM is found split-reins-full-double-stitched-5-8 to be more sensitive for mesh size than shell element.Column a
RAST-F is a new full-core analysis code based on the two-step approach that couples a multi-group cross-section generation Monte-Carlo code MCS and a multi-group nodal diffusion solver.To demonstrate the feasibility of using MCS/RAST-F for fast reactor analysis, this paper presents the coupled nodal code verification results for the MET-1000 and CA
BackgroundUser content posted through Twitter has been used for biosurveillance, to characterize public perception of health-related topics, and as a means of distributing information to the general public.Most of the existing work surrounding Twitter and health care has shown Twitter to be an effective medium for these problems but more could be d
Coolant in automotive engine cooling systems generally uses coolant with a minimum ethylene2 glycol mixture of 30 percent.Currently, the use of nanoparticles can be mixed in basic coolant between fluid and nanoparticles that have better thermal physical properties than cam axle pure coolant.The purpose of this study was to compare the results of CF
RationaleMyoendothelial junctions (MEJs) within the fenestrae of the internal elastic lamina (IEL) are critical sites that allow for endothelial cell (EC) - vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contact and communication.Vascular Notch signaling is a critical determinant of normal vasculogenesis and remodeling, and it regulates cell phenotype via cont
