(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The goal of the work described in this thesis is to develop the methodology and instrumentation for studying neuron physiology and activation in vivo at near cellular resolution. Using biocompatible crosslinked Hemoglobin ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The aim of this work is to develop and implement methods for determining the local structure and dynamics of heterogeneous samples (e.g. rocks, rubber, porous materials, etc.). From the physical point of view, the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The dramatic change in the international security environment after the collapse of the bipolar system has had a negative impact on the effectiveness of the existing nuclear non-proliferation regime. Furthermore, the success ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Electromagnetic plasma waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) are routinely used in magnetic fusion experiments to heat plasmas and drive currents. However, many experiments have revealed that wave energy ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This is a study of fault detection for nuclear reactor systems. Basic concepts are derived from fundamental theories on system observers. Different types of fault- actuator fault, sensor fault, and system dynamics fault ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The nuclear industry has relied on the concept of Defense in Depth (DID) and traditional safety margins to deal with the uncertainties associated with the design and operation of nuclear facilities. These concepts were ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The thesis investigates the potential of fertile free fast lead-cooled modular reactors as efficient incinerators of plutonium and minor actinides (MAs) for application to dedicated fuel cycles for transmutation. A methodology ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)A heterogeneous LWR core design, which employs a thorium/uranium once through fuel cycle, is optimized for good economics, wide safety margins, minimal waste burden and high proliferation resistance. The focus is on the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Spurred by the renewed interest in nuclear power, Gas-cooled Fast Reactors (GFRs) have received increasing attention in the past decade. Motivated by the goals of the Generation-IV International Forum (GIF), a GFR cooled ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Hydrogenic resonance line radiation interacts with the high-density low-temperature plasma at the tokamak edge. As a result, there exists a significant nonlocal plasma energy transport channel, local atomic level populations ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)A unique system has been developed for studying impurity transport in the edge plasma of Alcator C-Mod. Impurity gas (which for these experiments is deuterated ethylene, C₂D₄) is injected locally into the scrape-off layer ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Near-sonic parallel plasma flows are persistently observed in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of tokamaks, at locations far from material surfaces. Ballooning-like transport asymmetries are thought to be a principal driver for ...
