THEORETICAL EVALUATION OF THE TRITIUM EXTRACTION FROM LIQUID METAL FLOWS THROUGH A FREE SURFACE AND THROUGH A PERMEABLE MEMBRANE

Theoretical evaluation of the tritium extraction from liquid metal flows through a free surface and through a permeable membrane

Effective tritium extraction from PbLi flows is a requirement for the functioning of any PbLi based breeding blanket concept.For a continuous plant operation, the removal of the tritium dissolved in the PbLi has to be performed in line and sufficiently fast.Otherwise, tritium inventories in the liquid metal, start-up inventories and buffer inventor

No evidence for a bovine mastitis Escherichia coli pathotype

Abstract Background Escherichia coli bovine mastitis is a disease of significant economic importance in the dairy industry.Molecular characterization of mastitis-associated E.coli (MAEC) did not result in the identification of common traits.Nevertheless, a mammary pathogenic E.coli (MPEC) pathotype has been proposed suggesting virulence traits that

Prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with microstomia

Microstomia is defined as an abnormally small oral orifice which can be due to various factors.Microstomia is a definite prosthodontic hindrance to carry out the here different treatment successfully.To rehabilitate a patient with microstomia, successfully, the methods and designs incorporated in the prosthesis have to be modified.In the past, vari

Structured illumination microscopy and its new developments

Optical 1073spx microscopy allows us to observe the biological structures and processes within living cells.However, the spatial resolution of the optical microscopy is limited to about half of the wavelength by the light diffraction.Structured illumination microscopy (SIM), a type of new emerging super-resolution microscopy, doubles the spatial re
