(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Based on extracellular field recordings and stimulations at the Schaeffer collateral-CA1 synapse, the synaptic tagging and capture (STC) model has hypothesized that at synapses that express any form of LTP and LTD (long-term ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The goals of this research were to determine: 1) the effect of continuous irradiation on Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, CHO-K1 (wild type) and xrs-6 cells (mutant), and 2) the effect of continuous irradiation under low (5%) ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The bystander effect is seen when irradiated cells release a factor that can produce damage or death in neighboring "bystander" cells that are not actually hit by any radiation. One proposed mechanism involves the irradiated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Lymphatic vessels play a crucial role in both the pathophysiology of tumors and in the spread cancer cells to lymph nodes. The effects of radiation on these vessels, however, are largely unknown. Here, we seek to describe ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The goal of this thesis is to upgrade the scientific capabilities of the 24" Cassegrain reflector telescope at the George R. Wallace, Jr. Astrophysical Observatory (Wallace Observatory), part of Massachusetts Institute of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)A supercritical ethane working fluid Brayton power conversion system is evaluated as an alternative to carbon dioxide. The HSC® chemical kinetics code was used to study thermal dissociation and chemical interactions for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The danger of high, acute doses of radiation is well documented, but the effects of low-dose radiation below 100 mSv is still heavily debated. Four theories concerning the effects of lowdose radiation are presented here: ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In a system in which metal corrosion is of concern to its long-term structural integrity, crevice corrosion can be a significant cause of damage. Small crevices in a metal exposed to a working fluid (such as a reactor's ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)On August 3, 2007, President George W. Bush signed into law H.R. 1: Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007. The law mandates that 100% of air and maritime cargo must be scanned prior to entering ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The limiting factor in current designs for fast reactors is not only the reactivity, but also the maximum permissible fast-neutron fluence in the cladding, especially for reduced uranium enrichment cores using high-albedo ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Introduction: Introduction: The world today contains an estimated 6.7 billion humans, and our population is growing at an unprecedented rate, consuming an ever-increasing amount of global resources. According to United ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The effect of collisionality on a new nonlinear upshift of the critical density gradient for onset of Trapped Electron Mode (TEM) turbulence is investigated in detail. Both linear and nonlinear, high resolution simulations ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Welded stainless steel piping is a component of boiling water reactors (BWRs). Reirculation and other large diameter piping are fabricated from Type 304 or 316 stainless steels. Delta ferrite is present in welds, because ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis analyzes a sample of 15 fuel-handling events from the past ten years at commercial nuclear reactors with significant human error contributions in order to detail the contribution of human error to fuel-handling ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a biochemically targeted form of radiotherapy for cancer. In BNCT, a compound labeled with the stable isotope boron-10 is systemically administered, and tumor cells selectively uptake ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The proliferation resistance of a reprocessing facility can be improved by using a novel detection system that utilizes the nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) phenomenon to determine the isotopic composition of materials ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)India is in the middle of the biggest expansion of nuclear power in its history, adding 20 GWe in the next 14 years in the form of pressure water reactors and fast breeder reactors. At the same time, the United States is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In his MIT Doctoral thesis on an inverted Hydride-fueled reactor concept, Paolo Ferroni (2010) suggested using short-length twisted tape inserts in order to increase the critical heat flux (CHF) at which departure from ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In order to promote nuclear power production as an attractive option for power generation, measures must be taken to ensure that the process is both safe and economical. One aspect of the nuclear fuel cycle that contributes ...
-
Investigation of improved methods for assessing convergence of models in MCNP using Shannon entropy (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Monte Carlo computationals methods are widely used in academia to analyze nuclear systems design and operation because of their high accuracy and the relative ease of use in comparison to deterministic methods. However, ...
