This thesis reports on the first measurement of the spin diffusion rate of a two-spin correlated state, known as dipolar order, in a single crystal of calcium fluoride. The experimental results for the component of the ...

Cable-in-Conduit Conductor is the typical geometry for the conductor employed in superconducting magnets for fusion applications. Once energized, the magnets produce an enormous electromagnetic force and very large transverse ...

Passive cooling systems sometimes use natural circulation, and they are not dependent on emergency AC power or offsite power, which can make designs simpler through the reduction of emergency power supplying infrastructure. ...

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the potential for enhancing the performance of the once-through PWR fuel cycle by appropriate design of thorium containing fuel with concurrent consideration of neutronics, ...

This thesis focuses on a general problem in statistical modeling, namely model combination. It proposes a novel feature-based model combination method to improve model accuracy and reduce model uncertainty. In this method, ...
