Functional MRI (fMRI) detects the signal associated with neuronal activation, and has been widely used to map brain functions. Locations of neuronal activation are localized and distributed throughout the brain, however, ...

This thesis describes the development and implementation of an algorithm for dramatically increasing the accuracy and reliability of multigroup radiation diffusion simulations at low group counts. This is achieved by ...

Modeling full reactor cores with high fidelity transport methods is a difficult task, requiring the largest computers available today. This thesis presents work on an alternative approach using the eigenvalue response ...

The objective of this thesis is to clarify the ways that organizational factors influence nuclear power plant performance in order to improve performance. Therefore, this thesis studied the nuclear power plant organizational ...

Industrial and nuclear security applications continue to push radiation detection development into new and exciting frontiers. In this work, an innovative detection module is developed and tested for use in a cosmic ray ...

In this work, two separate aspects of ideal MHD theory are considered. In the first part, analytic solutions to the Grad-Shafranov equation (GSE) are presented, for two families of source functions: functions which are ...
