description: High blood pressure is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. It is a main determinant of morbidity and mortality in Germany. In the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) the blood pressure of 7,096 adults aged 18–79 years was measured in a standardised way using oscillometric blood pressure devices (Datascope Accutorr Plus). The average of the second and third measurements was used for analysis. The mean systolic blood pressure was 120.8 mmHg in women and 127.4 mmHg in men, while the mean diastolic blood pressure was 71.2 mmHg in women and 75.3 mmHg in men. Blood pressure values were hypertensive (systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg) in 12.7% of women and in 18.1% of men. Hypertension (defined as having hypertensive blood pressure or taking antihypertensive medication in known cases of hypertension) was present in 29.9% of women and 33.3% of men. Almost 75% of the survey’s highest age group, 70–79, had hypertension. DEGS1 demonstrates that high blood pressure remains a highly prevalent risk factor in the population at large. The methodology employed in measuring blood pressure has been improved as compared to that of the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998 (GNHIES98) and it will be possible to draw comparisons soon, once a procedure for calibrating the 1998 data has been finalised.
“‘Tis my muse will have it so”: Four Dimensions of Scatology in Molloy

subject: Bakhtin, M. M. (Mikhail Mikhaĭlovich), 1895-1975
subject: Psychoanalysis

description: Writers have long employed scatology for shock value, satire, grotesque humor, and as a stimulus for philosophizing. In Molloy, Samuel Beckett employs scatology not only for satire but as a touchstone in examining the themes of language, creativity, religion, and existentialism. Beckett uses excrement as a metaphor to pursue his theories of language as excess. This leads naturally to the topic of creativity, which psychologists had associated with defecation in the infant mind, and to mythology, where we also find the association with creation. In looking at religion, the scatological can be elevated alchemically through psychology and mythology, or it can be used satirically to bring religion down—Molloy traverses both paths, scrutinizing Catholicism in particular. Finally, excrement functions in the novel as a leveler, both among humans and of humans, suggesting that much of the sentiment behind the shame, disgust, and evasion of excrement is rooted in existential anxiety.

description: Predicting the prognosis of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is difficult for many frontline clinicians. The purpose of this study was to determine whether subsequent stroke in TIA patients can be predicted via red blood cell distribution width (RDW). A total of 360 consecutive patients with new-onset TIA in our stroke centre, were enrolled over the period studied. The patients were divided into three groups: 103 TIA patients, 206 ischaemic stroke (IS) patients and 51 patients with haemorrhagic stroke (HS) within 7 days after TIA. Complete blood count, biochemical parameters and brain imaging were performed on all patients. The mean RDW values of patients with IS and HS after TIA were significantly higher than patients with TIA (13.35 ± 1.59 vs 12.84 ± 1.19, 13.32 ± 1.08 vs 12.84 ± 1.19, respectively, all p ≤ .001). In a multivariate model, RDW was independently associated with stroke after TIA (IS: odds ratio (OR) = 2.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.46–3.35, p = .002; HS: OR = 1.511, 95% CI = 1.101–2.074, p = .011). Compared to ABCD2 scores, the diagnostic power of RDW in the differentiation of patients with IS after TIA was better (area under curve (AUC): 0.731 vs 0.613, p = .015). When an RDW cut-off value of 13.95% was accepted for differentiating patients with IS from TIA, the sensitivity and specificity were 73.7% and 74.3%, respectively. However, the AUC for the ability of the RDW to predict HS was 0.653 (95% CI = 0.589–0.716; p < .001). The early determination of RDW is a promising, rapid, easy and inexpensive biomarker to predict the subsequent stroke in TIA patients, especially for IS.
KEY MESSAGESThe most important result of our study is to show that (1) the higher RDW, the earlier the stroke onset and (2) RDW ≥13.95% has a 2.52-fold risk of ischaemic stroke in TIA patients, and RDW ≥12.85% has a 1.51-fold risk of haemorrhagic stroke.As an economic and accessible hematological marker, baseline RDW may serve as a useful biomarker for risk stratification in TIA patients.

description: The term musculoskeletal condition (MSKC) comprises inflammatory and degenerative diseases of joints and bones. They are among the most common conditions in older age and cause of severe long-term pain, physical disability, and decrease in quality of life. Data from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) were used to estimate the life-time prevalence of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoporosis in Germany. A total of 7,988 persons aged 18–79 years (osteoporosis 50–79 years) were asked to report doctor-diagnosed MSKC in face-to-face interviews. Women were more likely to report all MSKC and all prevalences increase with age. Osteoarthritis is reported by 22.3% of women and 18.1% of men, RA by 3.2% of women and 1.9% of men, and osteoporosis by 13.1% of women and 3.2% of men. MSKC are of great relevance for older adults in Germany. Data from DEGS1 provide a lot of information along to MSKC and hereby allow a closer description of the health situation of older adults.

description: A high level of fitness is an indicator for a good health state. Therefore, cardiorespiratory fitness was examined in the cross-sectional German Health Interview Survey for Adults (DEGS1). Data from 3,030 test-qualified adults between 18 and 64 years old were assessed by means of a standardized submaximal cycle ergometer test. Test-qualified participants were significantly younger, more often men, less often obese and showed a better health state than those who were not test-qualified. The calculated physical work capacity at 75% of the age-predicted maximum heart rate (PWC75%) in watts per kg bodyweight was among men 1.52 and among women 1.15. PWC75% declines by 4.2% per age decade for men and 4.8% for women. A higher socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with better fitness among women. No significant association was observed between SES and fitness among men. These findings can be used to develop target-group specific health-promotion interventions in order to enhance cardiorespiratory fitness. It is planned to calculate updated PWC reference values based on the DEGS1 data.

description: Die laborgestützte Überwachung der Masern in Deutschland leistet einen Beitrag zur objektiven Einschätzung der Situation. Im Vergleich zur Vorimpfära ist die Maserninzidenz reduziert worden, wobei eine Altersverschiebung zu den ab 15-jährigen auffällt. Vom Ziel der Elimination in der Region Europa bis zum Jahr 2007 ist Deutschland noch weit entfernt. Neben der fehlenden systematischen Surveillance bilden die Immunitätslücken im Kleinkindalter eine besondere Schwachstelle. Zur erfolgreichen Masernbekämpfung sind hohe Durchimpfungsraten von mindestens 90% am Ende des zweiten Lebensjahres erforderlich. Darüber hinaus müssen Aufgaben der laborgestützten Überwachung verstärkt zur Erfolgskontrolle einbezogen werden. Schwerpunkte stellen dabei die Laborbestätigung von Masernverdachtsfällen, Seroprävalenzstudien der Populationsimmunität sowie die Kontrolle der Masernviruszirkulation dar. Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Masern (AGM) sowie das novellierte Infektionsschutzgesetz sind wichtige Instrumentarien, um auch in Deutschland messbare Fortschritte auf dem Wege zur Elimination zu erreichen. Es wird über die Tätigkeit des Nationalen Referenzzentrums für Masern, Mumps, Röteln ab 1991 berichtet. Die Ergebnisse aus Deutschland werden mit denen ausgewählter europäischer Länder verglichen.
description: The laboratory surveillance of measles in Germany contributes to an objective estimation of the situation. Compared to data of the pre-vaccination era, the incidence of measles has been reduced, while a shift in age towards the group of 15-year-olds is observed. Germany will have considerable difficulties to reach the aim of eradicating measles in the European region by the year 2007. Apart from the fact that systematic surveillance is lacking, the immunity gaps in small children represent a particularly weak spot. In order to effectively control measles, high vaccination rates of at least 90% are necessary by the end of the second year of life. In addition, laboratory surveillance has to be included to measure successful vaccination. Main focusses are the laboratory confirmation of suspected measles cases, seroprevalence studies of population immunity as well as the control of the circulation of measles viruses. The Working Group Measles (“Arbeitsgemeinschaft Masern”– AGM) as well as the amended law on infection prevention are important instruments to make measurable progress towards measles eradication also in Germany. We report on the activities of the National Reference Centre for Measles, Mumps and Rubella since 1991. The German data are compared to those of selected other European countries.

description: Angesichts einer grundlegenden Neugestaltung der Surveillance übertragbarer Erkrankungen mit dem neuen Infektionsschutzgesetz, die u. a. von den Erfahrungen der HIV- und AIDS-Strategie profitiert hat, wird in dieser Untersuchung ein spezieller Aspekt dieser Strategie beleuchtet. Das bundesdeutsche Gesamtkonzept zur Bekämpfung von HIV und AIDS wurde von den meisten Bundesländern weitestgehend übernommen. Einige Bundesländer schufen jedoch für spezielle Bereiche bzw. Bevölkerungsgruppen Sonderregelungen. Auch wenn allgemeine Testempfehlungen oder Routinetestungen auf HIV (außer bei Blutspendern) stets abgelehnt wurden, stellt sich die praktische Umsetzung einer im Grundsatz eher liberalen AIDS-Politik in eizelnen Bevölkerungsgruppen durchaus unterschiedlich dar. Besonders deutlich wird dies am Beispiel Justizvollzug bzw. Asylbewerber bzw. Ausländer. Im Zeitverlauf können in Anbetracht verbesserter therapeutischer Möglichkeiten Veränderungen in der Einstellung zum Test beobachtet werden.
description: The new “act on the prevention and control of infectious diseases in man” will fundamentally reform the surveillance of communicable diseases. This reformation has profited from the experiences of the HIV- and AIDS-strategy. A special aspect of this strategy is enlightened in this article. Germany's federal concept for fighting HIV and AIDS was accepted in most points by most of the Länder. However, some of them established special regulations for different fields and/or subpopulations. Although general test recommendations or routine test for HIV antibodies had been denied (except for blood donors), the implementation of a basically liberal AIDS-policy varied according to different subgroups. The treatment of prisoners, persons seeking political asylum or foreigners serve as enlightening examples. In the course of time the improvement of therapeutic possibilities led to changes in the attitude towards the test.

description: Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a viral zoonosis that primarily affects animals resulting in considerable economic losses due to death and abortions among infected livestock. RVF also affects humans with clinical symptoms ranging from an influenza-like illness to a hemorrhagic fever. Over the past years, RVF virus (RVFV) has caused severe outbreaks in livestock and humans throughout Africa and regions of the world previously regarded as free of the virus. This situation prompts the need to evaluate the diagnostic capacity and performance of laboratories worldwide. Diagnostic methods for RVFV detection include virus isolation, antigen and antibody detection methods, and nucleic acid amplification techniques. Molecular methods such as reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and other newly developed techniques allow for a rapid and accurate detection of RVFV. This study aims to assess the efficiency and accurateness of RVFV molecular diagnostic methods used by expert laboratories worldwide. Thirty expert laboratories from 16 countries received a panel of 14 samples which included RVFV preparations representing several genetic lineages, a specificity control and negative controls. In this study we present the results of the first international external quality assessment (EQA) for the molecular diagnosis of RVF. Optimal results were reported by 64% of the analyses, 21% of the analyses achieved acceptable results and 15% of the results revealed that there is need for improvement. Evenly good performances were achieved by specific protocols which can therefore be recommended as an accurate molecular protocol for the diagnosis of RVF. Other protocols showed uneven performances revealing the need for improved optimization and standardization of these protocols.

description: In order to identify therapeutic targets in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is important to identify molecules involved in the biological responses that are modulated in COVID-19. Lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs) are involved in the pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis are one of the candidate molecules. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the serum levels of autotaxin (ATX), which are enzymes involved in the synthesis of lysophosphatidic acids. We enrolled 134 subjects with COVID-19 and 58 normal healthy subjects for the study. We measured serum ATX levels longitudinally in COVID-19 patients and investigated the time course and the association with severity and clinical parameters. The serum ATX levels were reduced in all patients with COVID-19, irrespective of the disease severity, and were negatively associated with the serum CRP, D-dimer, and anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody levels. Considering the biological properties of LPAs in the pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, modulation of ATX might be compensatory biological responses to suppress immunological overreaction especially in the lung, which is an important underlying mechanism for the mortality of the disease. COVID-19 patients showed a decrease in the serum levels of ATX, irrespective of the disease severity.
Key MessagesAutotaxin (ATX) is an enzyme involved in the synthesis of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which has been reported to be involved in pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. Patients with COVID-19 show decrease in the serum levels of ATX. Modulation of ATX might be compensatory biological responses to suppress immunological overreaction.

description: This essay examines James Baldwin’s conception of what he calls “black English” and its link to historical and cultural identity. I link Baldwin’s defense of black English to his reflections on the sor- row songs and sound, which draws on long-standing accounts of musicality as the foundation of the African-American tradition. In order to demonstrate this relation to the tradition, the essay puts Baldwin’s remarks in relation to Frederick Douglass’s and W. E. B. Du Bois’s description of the sorrow songs. I also under- score how that relation to the African-American tradition marks an important set of tensions with mid-twentieth century black Atlantic theory (Aimé Césaire and Frantz Fanon), tensions which make sense of the Americanness of Baldwin’s work. Across the essay, I claim that Baldwin’s account of language has epistemo- logical and ontological significance (and so is not just aesthetic or political), which gives an interesting and important twist to Martin Heidegger’s famous phrase that “language is the house of Being.”

### Ano-AAD Dataset: Comprehensive Anomalous Human Action Detection in Videos

The Ano-AAD dataset is a groundbreaking resource designed to advance the field of anomaly detection in video surveillance. Compiled from an extensive array of sources, including popular social media platforms and various websites, this dataset captures a wide range of human behaviors, both normal and anomalous. By providing a rich and diverse set of video data, the Ano-AAD dataset is poised to significantly enhance the capabilities of surveillance systems and contribute to the development of more sophisticated safety protocols.

#### Inception and Objective

The primary objective behind the creation of the Ano-AAD dataset was to address the pressing need for a comprehensive, well-annotated collection of video footage that can be used to train and evaluate models for detecting anomalous human actions. Recognizing the limitations of existing datasets, which often lack diversity and sufficient examples of real-world scenarios, we embarked on a meticulous process to gather, annotate, and validate a diverse array of videos. Our goal was to ensure that the dataset encompasses a wide variety of environments and actions, thereby providing a robust foundation for the development of advanced anomaly detection algorithms.

#### Data Collection Process

The data collection process for the Ano-AAD dataset was both extensive and methodical. We identified and selected videos from various social media platforms, such as Facebook and YouTube, as well as other online sources. These videos were chosen to represent a broad spectrum of real-world scenarios, including both typical daily activities and less frequent, but critical, anomalous events. Each video was carefully reviewed to ensure it met our criteria for relevance, clarity, and authenticity.

description: Background: Adolescence is the period in which smoking onset usually occurs and the course for future socioeconomic status (SES) is set. However, because of the transitional nature of adolescence, it is questionable whether health inequalities are best measured by indicators of parental SES or rather by indicators of the adolescents’ own developing SES. We examine the independent effects of parental and adolescent education and intergenerational educational mobility on adolescent smoking behaviour while controlling for differences in parental and close friends’ smoking behaviour. Methods: The study is based on data from a subsample (12–17 years, n = 5,053) of the nationally representative German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS). Participants reported their education level as well as their personal and close friends’ smoking behaviour. Information on parental education and smoking behaviour was obtained via parent interviews. Adolescent and parental education data were dichotomized (low/high), leading to four categories of intergenerational educational mobility: stable high, potentially upwardly mobile, potentially downwardly mobile, and stable low. Results: After adjustment for parental and close friends’ smoking behaviour, adolescent smoking habits were strongly related to their personal education level, but not that of their parents. Among boys, both stable low and downwardly mobile adolescents had a 2.7-fold increased risk of being a smoker compared with peers with a stable high education. Among girls, only those with a stable low education had a 2.2-fold increased risk of smoking. Among both genders, educational upward mobility was associated with significantly lower smoking rates compared with peers with a stable low education (boys: OR 0.32; 95% CI 0.20–0.53; girls: OR 0.52; 95% CI 0.37–0.73). Conclusions: Our results show that the risk of an adolescent smoking is influenced by their own education level rather than that of their parents. Educational upward mobility seems to be protective against becoming a smoker in youth. Boys who experience downward mobility tend to have a significantly higher inclination to smoke than their peers with a stable high education. These findings illustrate the potential public health benefits of investments in education and help identify high-risk groups for smoking onset.

description: Die Familie ist im Kindes- und Jugendalter die zentrale Sozialisationsinstanz. Aber welche Faktoren der familialen Lebenswelt sind für die Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen in welcher Lebensphase von Bedeutung? Der Frage wird am Beispiel der durch die Eltern eingeschätzten allgemeinen Gesundheit nachgegangen. Datenbasis bildet die für Deutschland repräsentative KiGGS-Studie 2003–2006 (n = 17.641, Alter: 0 bis 17 Jahre). Zur Quantifizierung der Effekte der familialen Faktoren auf die Gesundheit werden – stratifiziert nach fünf Altersgruppen und Geschlecht – binär logistische Regressionsanalysen gerechnet. Einbezogen werden strukturelle, soziallagen- und herkunftsbezogene Faktoren von Familie sowie die Wohnsituation und das Familienklima. Die bivariate Analyse belegt, dass nahezu alle Faktoren (zumindest in einzelnen Altersgruppen) Einfluss auf die allgemeine Gesundheit haben. In der multivariaten Analyse zeigt sich, dass insbesondere dem Familienklima eine wichtige Bedeutung für eine gute Gesundheit zukommt. Bei den Jungen besitzt bis zum Beginn des Jugendalters zudem ein beidseitiger Migrationshintergrund einen ungünstigen Einfluss auf eine gute allgemeine Gesundheit.
description: Family is the central place of socialization during childhood and adolescence. What are the determining factors of family life that are important for the health of children and adolescents and in which stages of their life do these factors take effect? The question is answered with reference to the general health of children and adolescents as rated by their parents. The analysis is conducted with data from the KiGGS study 2003–2006 which is representative of Germany (n = 17641, age: 0–17 years). The gender-specific effects of different family factors on good health are analysed in five age groups using binary logistic regression analysis including structural, socioeconomic and origin-related factors of family as well as housing conditions and family cohesion. Bivariate analysis indicates significant effects on general health for almost all included factors (at least in some age groups). Multivariate analysis shows family cohesion to be the most important factor for good health. In boys a bilateral migration background also has an adverse effect on good general health until the beginning of adolescence.

description: From the mid-1960s onward, compilations of the speeches and trial addresses of South African opponents of apartheid focused attention on the apartheid regime despite intensified repression in the wake of the Rivonia Trial. Mary Benson’s novel, At the Still Point, transposes the political trial into fiction. Its “stenographic” codes of representation open Benson’s text to what Paul Gready, following Foucault, has analyzed as the state’s “power of writing”: one that entangles the political trialist in a coercive intertextual negotiation with the legal apparatus of the apartheid regime. Through a form of metaleptic rupture, however, the novel is also opened to constructs of Holocaust memory. Drawing on Michael Rothberg’s paradigm of “multidirectional memory,” the article investigates how the novel stages other contestations over racialized suffering at the end of a decade that began with the capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann.

description: High levels of zinc oxide are used frequently as feed additive in pigs to improve gut health and growth performance and are still suggested as an alternative to antimicrobial growth promoters. However, we have recently described an increase of multi-resistant E. coli in association to zinc feeding in piglets. This previous study focused on clonal diversity of E. coli, observing the effect on multi-resistant strains by chance. To shed further light into this highly important topic and falsify our previous findings, we performed a zinc pig feeding trial where we specifically focused on in-depth analysis of antimicrobial resistant E. coli. Under controlled experimental conditions, piglets were randomly allocated to a high dietary zinc (zinc group) and a background zinc feeding group (control group). At different ages samples were taken from feces, digesta, and mucosa and absolute E. coli numbers were determined. A total of 2665 E. coli isolates were than phenotypically tested for antimicrobial resistance and results were confirmed by minimum inhibitory concentration testing for random samples. In piglets fed with high dietary zinc, we detected a substantial increase of multi-resistant E. coli in all gut habitats tested, ranging from 28.9–30.2% multi-resistant E. coli compared to 5.8–14.0% in the control group. This increase was independent of the total number of E. coli. Interestingly, the total amount of the E. coli population decreased over time. Thus, the increase of the multi-resistant E. coli populations seems to be linked with persistence of the resistant population, caused by the influence of high dietary zinc feeding. In conclusion, these findings corroborate our previous report linking high dietary zinc feeding of piglets with the occurrence of antimicrobial resistant E. coli and therefore question the feeding of high dietary zinc oxide as alternative to antimicrobial growth promoters.

description: Research on net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs) has been largely centered around improving building energy performance, while little attention has been given to indoor air quality. A critically important class of indoor air pollutants are nanoaerosols – airborne particulate matter smaller than 100 nm in size. Nanoaerosols penetrate deep into the human respiratory system and are associated with deleterious toxicological and human health outcomes. An important step towards improving indoor air quality in NZEBs is understanding how occupants, their activities, and building systems affect the emissions and fate of nanoaerosols. New developments in smart energy monitoring systems and smart thermostats offer a unique opportunity to track occupant activity patterns and the operational status of residential HVAC systems. In this study, we conducted a one-month field campaign in an occupied residential NZEB, the Purdue ReNEWW House, to explore how energy use profiles and smart thermostat data can be used to characterize indoor nanoaerosol dynamics. A Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer and Optical Particle Sizer were used to measure indoor aerosol concentrations and size distributions from 10 to 10,000 nm. AC current sensors were used to monitor electricity consumption of kitchen appliances (cooktop, oven, toaster, microwave, kitchen hood), the air handling unit (AHU), and the energy recovery ventilator (ERV). Two Ecobee smart thermostats informed the fractional amount of supply airflow directed to the basement and main floor. The nanoaerosol concentrations and energy use profiles were integrated with an aerosol physics-based material balance model to quantify nanoaerosol source and loss processes. Cooking activities were found to dominate the emissions of indoor nanoaerosols, often elevating indoor nanoaerosol concentrations beyond 104 cm-3. The emission rates for different cooking appliances varied from 1011 h-1 to 1014 h-1. Loss rates were found to be significantly different between AHU/ERV off and on conditions, with median loss rates of 1.43 h-1 to 3.68 h-1, respectively. Probability density functions of the source and loss rates for different scenarios will be used in Monte Carlo simulations to predict indoor nanoaerosol concentrations in NZEBs using only energy consumption and smart thermostat data.

description: The objective of this thesis is to apply high frequency flow measurement technique known as hot wire anemometry to characterize the velocity, turbulence intensity and turbulent length scales in the Purdue Experimental Turbine Aerothermal Lab Rig. Hot wire anemometry has been widely used to characterize velocities and turbulence levels in different environments and using different calibration and post-processing methodologies. In this work, a precise calibration and post-processing method was developed and successfully applied to the state-of-the-art trisonic Purdue Experimental Turbine Aerothermal Lab wind tunnel. The different experimental setups where the turbulence levels were analyzed were fabricated using modern manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing or water cutting. These techniques increase the complexity of the designs to be tested in wind tunnels. Calibration process was then successfully tested in the Purdue Experimental Turbine Aerothermal Lab Rig. Finally, accuracy and sensitivity analysis of the calibration are performed to verify the performance and reliability of the process.

Neutron Measurement and Transient Analysis in a Source Driven Subcritical Assembly for Active Interrogation and Radioisotope Applications

description: Detecting hidden/smuggled special nuclear materials (SNM) is one of the unsolved problems in the safeguards industry. The biggest challenge is to quantify and track SNM and prevent the use of these materials for illicit purposes. The goal is to detect smallest quantity of SNM in large cargo containers, at the ports of entry, in the shortest amount of measurement time. Currently passive detection techniques, which is based on long-lived isotopes, are used to detect hidden SNM. This technique is not very reliable, as appropriate shielding of the SNM can reduce detection signals from these long-lived isotopes. Accelerator based active interrogation methods are proposed to solve the SNM problem. Besides SNM, another challenge in the nuclear industry is to meet the demand and supply of medical radioisotopes, particularly Tc-99m (half-life 6 hours). Mo-99, which decays to Tc-99m, is one of the fission products found in nuclear reactors. Because of short half-life of 66 hours, Mo-99 cannot be stockpiled. The shutdown of various research reactors globally disrupted the supply of Mo-99. Because of the financial and regulatory burden on the nuclear reactors, accelerator-based systems can be used to produce Mo-99.
With the aim to solve these two major challenges, a preliminary study is done to understand the neutrons behavior on milliseconds (or shorter) time steps in an accelerator driven subcritical system. A pulsed external neutron source, i.e. Deuterium-Deuterium (DD) generator, drives the assembly. Using first principles, the transient equations are derived and the neutron population at different time stamps is calculated. The Li-6 detector’s response to the neutron population is predicted. Experiments are performed to compare the predicted behavior with the observed behavior. The model is extended further to investigate the case of no uranium fuel inside the system. Transient measurements, in the absence of the uranium fuel, are made and the neutron die-away time is determined. This die-away time is compared with the predicted time.
