description: Dried blood spots (DBS) are used in medicine and research, but with the whole blood sample being dried it is not possible to separate the plasma, white blood cells (WBC) and red blood cells (RBC) once the sample reaches the lab. We have developed a simple, lateral-flow device (VL-Plasma®) that separates and dries the RBC, WBC and plasma components of the blood sample. In a clinical trial, VL-Plasma samples gave 100% sensitivity and specificity in molecular tests (viral load) for detection of treatment failure in HIV patients on antiviral therapy, where DBS gave the wrong result more than 50% of the time. Optimized protocols have been developed for recovery of plasma for serological testing, and malaria parasite DNA was successfully recovered from the infected RBC component while both antibodies and antigens were recovered from the plasma component. Collaborators in Sri Lanka, Mozambique and PNG are now using the device to examine pathogen and host genetics, antibody and antigen tests.

description: The physical conditions in the inner narrow line region (NLR) of the Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 1068, are examined using ultraviolet and optical spectra and photoionization models. The spectra are Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Harchive data obtained with the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS). We selected spectra of four regions, taken through the 0.3" FOS aperture, covering the full FOS 1200A to 6800A waveband. Each region is approximately 20 pc in extent, and all are within 100 pc of the apparent nucleus of NGC 1068. The spectra show similar emission-line ratios from wide range of ionization states for the most abundant elements. After extensive photoionization modeling, we interpret this result as an indication that each region includes a range of gas densities, which we included in the models as separate components. Supersolar abundances were required for several elements to fit the observed emission line ratios. Dust was included in the models but apparently dust to gas fraction varies within these regions. The low ionization lines in these spectra can be best explained as arising in gas that is partially shielded from the ionizing continuum. Although the predicted line ratios from the photoionization models provide a good fit to the observed ratios, it is apparent that the model predictions of electron temperatures in the ionized gas are too low. We interpret this as an indication of additional collisional heating due to shocks and/or energetic particles associated with the radio jet that traverses the NLR of NGC 1068. The density structure within each region may also be the result of compression by the jet.

description: Preterm birth (PTB) continues to be a major global problem affecting both maternal and infant health. HIV-1 infected women carry an additional risk of PTB.

Spontaneous PTB is multifactorial in etiology, but the predominant phenotype is inflammatory.We propose that dysregulated maternal immune responses increase the risk of sPTB by impeding the tightly controlled processes at the maternal-fetal interface during pregnancy. Leveraging ongoing pregnancy cohorts in Zambia with an established sample biorepository, and applying an integrative and comprehensive approach, we will define maternal immune parameters associated with sPTB and how these are altered by HIV and ART, assess the contribution of changes in the vaginal microbiome that contribute to the risk of sPTB in HIV-infected women who initiate ART in pregnancy, and define molecular signatures in maternal blood that predict the risk of preterm birth in HIV-infected and uninfected women.

description: In the distributed nucleus approximation we represent the singular nucleus as smeared over a smallportion of a Cartesian grid. Delocalizing the nucleus allows us to solve the Poisson equation for theoverall electrostatic potential using a linear scaling multigrid algorithm.This work is done in the context of minimizing the Kohn-Sham energy functionaldirectly in real space with a multiscale approach. The efficacy of the approximation is illustrated bylocating the ground state density of simple one electron atoms and moleculesand more complicated multiorbital systems.

description: The radial distribution of globular clusters in galaxies is always less peaked to the centre than the halo stars'. Extending previous work to a sample of HST globular cluster systems in ellipticals, we evaluate the number of clusters lost to the galactic centre as the integrals of the difference between the observed globular cluster system distribution and the underlying halo light profile. It results that the initial populations of globular clusters were from 25% to 50% richer than now. This significant number of missing globular clusters supports the hypothesis that a large quantity of globular cluster mass in form of globular clusters decayed and destroyed has been lost to the galactic centres, where plausibly contributed to formation and feeding of a mas sive object therein. It is relevant noting that the observed correlation between the core radius of the globular cluster system and the parent galaxy luminosity can be interpreted as a result of evolution.

description: We have performed self-consistent calculations for first and second row atoms using a variant of density-functional theory, the optimized effective potential method, with an approximation due to Krieger, Li and Iafrate and a correlation-energy functional developed by Colle and Salvetti. The mean absolute deviation of first-row atomic ground-state energies from the exact non-relativistic values is 4.7 mH in our scheme, as compared to 4.5 mH in a recent configuration-interaction calculation. The proposed scheme is significantly more accurate than the conventional Kohn-Sham method while the numerical effort involved is about the same as for an ordinary Hartree-Fock calculation.

description: Background
Surviving prematurity poses a great challenge in neonatal care in Uganda and Africa at Large and yet it remains the major cause of under-five mortality.While many preterm babies survive in high-income countries, in low- and middle-income countries lack of adequate newborn care puts the lives of many preterm babies at risk. Uganda is ranked 13th among the countries with high preterm birth deliveries worldwide.It is estimated that up to 2/3 of these deaths would be saved if secondary level interventions low cost interventions such as Kangaroo mother care (KMC), Use of antenatal steroids and Continuous positive air way Pressure, Early feeding with breast milk, use of Oxygen are scaled up.

Objectives:
1.To describe the changes in neonatal outcomes after implementation of secondary level interventions at Nsambya Hospital
2. To explore the trends in case fatalities of prematurity from 2008 to 2018 after implementation of secondary level and tertiary level interventions
Methodology:
 Using perinatal death audits, gaps in care of preterms were identified and secondary and tertiary level interventions were implemented over a period of 10 years. The interventions included: Neonatal resuscitation, Kangaroo mother care, Use of continuous positive air way pressure, Use of surfactant, use of human milk only for feeding preterms, use of Bubble CPAP and warm Transport in the delivery room. Data on Case fatalities for prematurity, proportion of preterms with Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and overall neonatal mortality was collected from 2008 to 2018. Comparisons were done before and after introduction of secondary and tertiary levels interventions.
 Results
The case fatality rates of prematurity were 6.8% (2008) compared to 16.9% (2018). The Survival Rates Improved for Extreme Preterms (< 1000 g) from 28% to 57%, Very low birth weight (1000 – 1499) from 80% to 95% and Late preterm 1500 to 2499 from 96 % to 100%. The proportion of babies dying due to NEC reduced from 10 to 0.
 Conclusion: Implementation of phased secondary and tertiary level interventions is feasible and greatly improves survival of preterms in a low resource limited setting.

description: We calculate the most general action for a scalar-tensor model up to quadratic order in derivatives with deformed general covariance and non-minimal coupling. We demonstrate how different choices of the free functions recover specific well known scalar-tensor models. We look at the cosmological dynamics and find the general conditions for either inflation or a big bounce. Using this we present a novel non-minimally coupled scalar model which produces a bounce, and describe how to find similar models.

description: Background
Poor access to Antenatal Care (ANC), skilled delivery and post-natal check within 48 hours of delivery are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Unequal uptake of these interventions in Kenya has resulted in large regional disparities with 15 out of 47 counties classified as high-priority. We implemented a digital health solution in a high-priority county to improve MNH uptake and evaluated its effectiveness.

Methods
Between July 2017 and March 2019, we implemented an integrated community and hospital digital health information system (STONE-HMIS) in 10 primary and secondary health facilities and in 4 catchment community health units (CHUs), in Turkana County in rural Northern Kenya. We estimated the proportion of mothers who attended at least 4 ANC visits, received skilled assistance at delivery, and post-natal check within 48 hours of delivery in two of the CHUs, at baseline and at end-line 12 months later. We compared the results with those of the sub-county of extraction and the County of Turkana as reported in the Kenya Health Information System (KHIS).

Results
Out of a catchment population of 4,300 women of reproductive age (WRA) in the study CHUs, a total of 692 and 608 women were interviewed at baseline and end-line respectively. We observed a 5%, 23% and 16% improvement in 4th ANC visits, skilled delivery rates and newborn post-natal check within 48 hours of delivery respectively, over the period of implementation. For the same evaluation period, at the sub-county and county levels, 57·7% and 65·8% WRA attended at least 4 ANC visits, 39·5% and 67·8% delivered with a skilled assistant, and 23·5% and 24% had post-natal check respectively.

Conclusions
The integration of provider facility and community level digital health systems and alignment with health system priorities and processes contributed to the improvement of Maternal and Newborn health indicators in an under-served and difficult to reach locality.

description: Background
Fifteen counties contribute 98.7% of the maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality in Kenya. The dismal maternal and newborn (MNH) outcomes in these settings are mostly attributable to limited access to skilled MNH services. Public health services are stretched and limited in reach, and many social programmes are not sustainably designed. We implemented a network of 16 self-sustaining community medical centres (Ubuntu-Afya Kiosks) in Homa Bay County, to facilitate access to MNH and other primary health services. We investigated the effect of these centres on MNH access indicators over a 2-year period of initial implementation.
Methods
We conducted a baseline and end-line survey in June 2016 and May 2018 respectively, in 10 community health units (CHU) served by Ubuntu-Afya Kiosks. We targeted women of child bearing age, ensuring equal sample across the 10 CHUs. The surveys were powered to detect a 10% increase in the proportion of women who deliver under a skilled birth attendant from a perceived baseline of 55%. Background characteristics of the respondents were compared using Fisher’s exact test for the categorical data. STATA ‘svy’ commands were used to calculate confidence intervals for the proportions taking into account the clustering within CHU.
Results
The coverage of antenatal care during previous pregnancy was 99% at end-line compared to 81% at baseline. Seventy one percent of mothers attended at least four antenatal care visits, compared to 64% at baseline. The proportion of women who delivered under a skilled birth attendant during previous pregnancy was higher at end-line (90%) compared to baseline (85%). There was an increase in the proportion of women who had their newborns examined within two day of delivery from 74% to 92% at end-line. A considerable proportion of the respondents visited private clinics at end-line (31%) compared to 3% at baseline.

Conclusions
Ubuntu-Afya Kiosks were associated with enhanced access to MNH care, with significant improvements observed in newborn examination within two days after delivery. More women sought care from private clinics at end-line compared to baseline, indicating potential for private sector in supporting health service delivery gaps in under-served settings.

description: Motivated by a semi-holographic approach to the dynamics of quark-gluon plasma which combines holographic and perturbative descriptions of a strongly coupled infrared and a more weakly coupled ultraviolet sector, we construct a hybrid two-fluid model where interactions between its two sectors are encoded by their effective metric backgrounds, which are determined mutually by their energy-momentum tensors. We derive the most general consistent ultralocal interactions such that the full system has a total conserved energy-momentum tensor in flat Minkowski space and study its consequences in and near thermal equilibrium by working out its phase structure and its hydrodynamic modes.

Le but de ces campagnes est de permettre aux étudiants de Master 1 de faire réellement de l'océanographie telle qu'elle est faite par les océanographes chercheurs sur le terrain. Il s'agit ainsi de couvrir de manière pédagogique tous les aspects d'un campagne en mer : planification, collecte en mer d'échantillons, déploiement d'instruments répondant à une stratégie prédéfinie, analyse d'échantillons en laboratoire, écriture d'un rapport et communication des résultats. La participation à une véritable campagne océanographique permet aux étudiants d'être "confronté avec le terrain", tout en mettant à profit les compétences acquises dans diverses unités d'enseignements en les appliquant à un cas concret : une étude couplée d'océanographie physique et biogéochimique au large de la baie de Marseille à l'interface entre le talus et le domaine côtier.

description: We discuss how different theoretical predictions for the variance $σ^2$ of the distribution of radio sources can be matched to measurements from the FIRST survey at different flux limits. The predictions are given by the integration of models for the angular correlation function $w(θ)$ for three different functional forms of the redshift distribution $N(z)$, different spatial correlation functions and by different evolutions of the bias $b(z)$ with redshift. We also consider the two cases of open and flat Universes. Although the predicted $w(θ)$ show substantial differences due to differences in the $N(z)$'s, these differences are not significant compared to the uncertainties in the current observations. It turns out that the best fit is provided by models with constant biasing at all times, although the difference between models with epoch-independent bias and models with bias that evolves linearly with redshift is not very large. All models with strong evolution of bias with epoch are ruled out. As a further step we directly calculated $w_{obs}(θ)$ at 3mJy from the catalogue and matched it with our models for the angular correlation function in the hypothesis that the clustering signal comes from two different populations, namely AGN-powered sources and starbursting galaxies. The results are consistent with a scenario for hierarchical clustering where the fainter starbursting galaxies trace the mass at all epochs, while brighter AGN's are strongly biased, with $b(z)$ evolving linearly with redshift, as suggested by some theories of galaxy formation and evolution.

description: Accurately determining crop yields at field-scale can help farmers estimate their net profit, enable insurance companies to ascertain payouts, and when aggregated at regional and national scales, crop yield estimates are critical in ensuring food security. Over the last few decades, crop cuts have been widely used to estimate field-scale crop yields. Crop cuts are considered to be more reliable than farmer recall and while crop cuts can be cost prohibitive, they are less so than full-field harvests and are often more accessible. We present a novel machine-learning based method to optimize the number and location of fields selected for performing crop cuts in order to drive down costs while maintaining the capacity to accurately predict crop yields at field-scale in Ukraine. The method is designed to be scalable and transferable to small holder ag systems. Our project is a public-private collaboration between NASA Harvest and Swiss-Re. The Harvest hub at UMD recently embarked on using machine-learning techniques to develop a set of quantitative remote sensing indicators designed to provide reliable forecasts for crop yields, two months before harvest. An overview of Harvest and recent results from the indicator developments will be presented.

Ces géoscientifiques doivent être capables de gérer et d'interpréter les données de subsurface (sismique, diagraphies, carottes), de les synthétiser, de construire des modèles 3D statiques, et d'intervenir à chaque étape de la démarche d'exploration depuis l'acquisition de données jusqu'aux calculs de volume et de risque dans l'évaluation de prospects. Les débouchés ouvrent un large spectre depuis les reconnaissances jusqu'à l'exploitation : géologue d'opérations, géologue géophysicien d'acquisition, géologue géophysicien de traitement, data loader / data manager, ingénieur SIG / géomaticien, géologue de synthèse, géologue d'interprétation, géologue réservoir, ingénieur support technique, hydrographe, etc. Un nombre non négligeable de diplômés poursuit également en thèse de doctorat sur des sujets en lien avec la sédimentologie, les bassins sédimentaires et/ou les géosciences marines. Dans le cadre de leur formation, les élèves ingénieurs suivent entre autres deux modules de géophysique pétrolière (techniques d'acquisition et de traitement sismique offshore/onshore, seismic survey, applications des attributs sismiques sur des blocs 3D, géomorphologie sismique, caractérisation des réservoirs), ainsi qu'un troisième module d'interprétation sismique (analyse structurale et stratigraphie sismique). Certains élèves, plus spécifiquement fibrés géosciences marines, suivent également des options de survey marin, de risques fond de mer, de géotechnique marine, de droit à la mer et d'aménagement du littoral. Le stage Terre-Mer proposé en collaboration avec l'Observatoire Océanologique de Villefranche/Mer (Géosciences Azur - Sorbonne Université) et le CNFC (INSU-CNRS) vient ainsi en illustration pratique de différents aspects scientifiques et techniques abordés plus théoriquement au cours du cursus. Il est également l'occasion d'approfondir les connaissances acquises en deuxième et quatrième années concernant les systèmes gravitaires profonds (module Sédimentologie de faciès) et les marges passives (module Bassins sédimentaire). Il se veut complémentaire d'un autre stage effectué ce même semestre à bord de navires de l'entreprise GEOxyz où les élèves pratiquent d'autres outils à la mer dans un cadre de survey hydrographique (bathymétrie mono et multifaisceaux, sonar à balayage latéral, pénétrateur de sédiments, prélèvements in-situ, etc.).

description: Bone metastasis has been considered the fatal phase of cancers, which remains incurableand to be a challenge due to the non-availability of the ideal treatment strategy. Unlike bone cancer,bone metastasis involves the spreading of the tumor cells to the bones from different origins. Bonemetastasis generally originates from breast and prostate cancers. The possibility of bone metastasis ishighly attributable to its physiological milieu susceptible to tumor growth. The treatment of bonerelateddiseases has multiple complications, including bone breakage, reduced quality of life, spinalcord or nerve compression, and pain. However, anticancer active agents have failed to maintaindesired therapeutic concentrations at the target site; hence, uptake of the drug takes place at a nontargetsite responsible for the toxicity at the cellular level. Interestingly, lipid-based drug deliverysystems have become the center of interest for researchers, thanks to their biocompatible and biomimeticnature. These systems possess a great potential to improve precise bone targeting withoutaffecting healthy tissues. The lipid nano-sized systems are not only limited to delivering activeagents but also genes/peptide sequences/siRNA, bisphosphonates, etc. Additionally, lipid coating ofinorganic nanomaterials such as calcium phosphate is an effective approach against uncontrollablerapid precipitation resulting in reduced colloidal stability and dispersity. This review summarizesthe numerous aspects, including development, design, possible applications, challenges, and futureperspective of lipid nano-transporters, namely liposomes, exosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN),nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), and lipid nanoparticulate gels to treat bone metastasis and inducebone regeneration. Additionally, the economic suitability of these systems has been discussed anddifferent alternatives have been discussed. All in all, through this review we will try to understandhow far nanomedicine is from clinical and industrial applications in bone metastasis.

description: Periodic gossip algorithms have generated a lot of interest due to their ability to compute the global statistics by using local pairwise communications among nodes. Simple execution, robustness to topology changes, and distributed nature make these algorithms quite suitable for wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, these algorithms converge to the global statistics after certain rounds of pair-wise communications. A significant challenge for periodic gossip algorithms is difficult to predict the convergence rate for large-scale networks. To facilitate the convergence rate evaluation, we study a one-dimensional lattice network model. In this scenario, to derive the explicit formula for convergence rate, we have to obtain a closed form expression for second largest eigenvalue of perturbed pentadiagonal matrices. In our approach, we derive the explicit expressions of eigenvalues by exploiting the theory of recurrent sequences. Unlike the existing methods in the literature, this is a direct method which avoids the theory of orthogonal polynomials [18]. Finally, we derive the explicit expressions for convergence rate of the average periodic gossip algorithm in one-dimensional WSNs. We analyze the convergence rate by considering the linear weight updating approach and investigate the impact of gossip weights on the convergence rates for a different number of nodes. Further, we also study the effect of link failures on the convergence rate for average periodic gossip algorithms.

description: Globally, Uganda has the fourth highest number of new infections among children. In 2017, 116,619 HIV-exposed infants (HEI) were born in Uganda with 3,098 becoming HIV-infected. Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) dramatically reduce the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission (MTCT). With 27% of Ugandan infants
born outside of health facilities, at least 30,000 HIV-exposed infants lack access to NVP immediately after birth and are unlikely to initiate Nevirapine prophylaxis. In partnership with the MoH, Nevirapine within the national supply chain has been repackaged from the 100ml bottle into Pratt pouches, a foilized polyethylene pouch at safely stores common ARVs for up to 12 months that women can take home during the antenatal period. The Pratt Pouch has been integrated into existing service delivery platforms with an objective of solving the challenges of inaccurate dosing, drug wastage, contamination, and lack of access. The primary endpoint will be the proportion of HIV-exposed infants receiving the full NVP regimen from birth to six weeks of age, while an effectiveness study and cost analysis will inform the model for national scale-up. Impact will be measured by the proportion of HIV-exposed infants diagnosed with HIV at six to eight weeks of age. By achieving these outcomes, we will demonstrate an effective, evidence-informed model for national scale-up. To date over 2,000 HIV exposed infants whose mothers received Pratt pouches during antenatal care have successfully completed 6 weeks of prophylaxis.

Novel synthetic calcium oxide based sorbent for carbon dioxide capture
Creators: name: Wang, Yan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This thesis focuses on studying the synthesis of calcium oxide- (CaO-) based sorbents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture in the post-combustion process. Calcium oxide has been regarded as one the most promising candidates for carbon capture in the last decade due to its high capturing efficiency, low running cost, and abundance in the natural world. However, the main drawback of this category of sorbents (natural limestone and modified CaO) is the rapid decay of the CO2 uptake capacity during the cycles of carbonation and decarbonation reactions. Therefore the target of this research is to enhance sorbent sustainable performance in long-term carbon capture utilisation, for the purpose of reducing the total budget of carbon capture in fossil-fuel power industries. To obtain the optimal CaO-based sorbent, different sacrificial particles were used in the sorbent modification experiment, including hydrophobic polymers and non-ionic surfactants. Among the combinations, modified CaO sorbents prepared with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Tween80 (also called Polysorbate 80) delivered the best performance. Using sacrificial particles resulted in changing the properties of CaO particles, both physically and chemically: particle size, morphology, surface area and porosity were carefully controlled under specific synthesis conditions, and positively affected the sorbents’ reactivity. A more important factor, which has been ignored by most researchers, the polymorph of sorbent precursor, was also investigated in this thesis. Repeatable results proved that of the sorbents derived from all the three polymorphs of calcium carbonate (calcite, aragonite and vaterite) vaterite-derived sorbent has the best CO2 capture capacity and reversibility. We found that the fraction of vaterite would influence the sorbent particles’ reactivity proportionally in the first-cycle carbonation process. In order to study the sorbent’s physical/chemical properties and its CO2 uptake performance, standard laboratory characterisation methods and a thermal-gravimetric analyser were employed, respectively. A combined gas sorption experiment under controlled conditions using a self-built high pressure reactor also revealed the mechanism of CO2 sorption on different types of porous materials. The existing equipment used to achieve this purpose usually requires a very large scale and involves a rather complicated micro-mechanical structure. A novel measurement methodology based on micro-cantilever design and laser detector was introduced in order to reduce this complexity. Physisorption of CO2 gas molecules by porous materials, such as Zeolite and MCM41, was measured kinetically with the help of this setup. A comparison between chemisorption and physisorption provides useful insights in regard to the search for the best solution for CO2 capture.
On finite-size effects in computer simulations using the Ewald potential

description: We discuss the origin and relevance for computer simulations of a strong finite-size effect that appears when using the Ewald summation formula. It can be understood as arising from a volume-dependent shift of the potential in a finite, periodic box relative to the infinite volume limit. This shift is due to the fact that the ``zero of energy'' for a periodic system cannot be defined by letting the interacting particles be separated by an infinite distance; the correct definition corresponds to setting its $\bbox k=\bbox 0$ Fourier mode to zero. The implications of this effect for computer simulations are discussed.

Hidden Charge Order of Interacting Dirac Fermions on the Honeycomb Lattice

description: We consider the extended half-filled Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice for second nearest neighbors interactions. Using a functional integral approach, we find that collective fluctuations suppress topological states and instead favor charge ordering, in agreement with previous numerical studies. However, we show that the critical point is not of the putative semimetal-Mott insulator variety. Due to the frustrated nature of the interactions, the ground state is described by a novel hidden {\it metallic} charge order with {\it semi-Dirac} excitations. We conjecture that this transition is not in the Gross-Neveu universality class.

BVI CCD Photometry of the Globular Cluster 47 Tuc

description: We present $BVI$ photometry for about 16000 stars from a 220 arcmin$^{2}$ field centered 8 arcmin east of the center of 47 Tuc. We have identified eight likely blue stragglers located in the outer parts of the cluster. Four of these objects are easy targets for spectroscopic studies with ground-based telescopes. Six candidates for blue horizontal branch stars were identified. However, it is possible that all or most of them belong in fact to the SMC halo. One faint blue star being candidate for a cataclysmic variable was found close to the cluster center. The average $I$-band magnitude for stars forming the red giant branch clump is determined at $I_{0}=13.09\pm 0.005 $mag. This in turn implies distance modulus of the cluster $(m-M)_{0,47Tuc}=13.32\pm 0.03\pm 0.036 $mag (statistical plus systematic error), if we adopt $M_{I,m}=-0.23 \pm 0.03 $mag for the average absolute luminosity of {\em Hipparcos}-calibrated clump giants, following Paczyński & Stanek and Stanek & Garnavich. This distance modulus of 47 Tuc is lower by $0.2-0.25 $mag than its recent estimates based on Hipparcos parallaxes for subdwarfs. We discuss possible reasons for this discrepancy. The photometric data are available through the anonymous ftp service.

Processing and microstructural characterisation of UO2-based simulated spent nuclear fuel ceramics for the UK`s advanced gas-cooled reactors

description: Processing and characterisation of depleted UO2-based Simulated Spent Nuclear Fuel (SIMFuel), which aims to replicate both chemistry and microstructure of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) discharged from a UK Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) after a prolonged cooling time is described in this thesis. Thirteen fission product surrogates were blended with depleted UO2 and sintered to simulate the composition of fuel pellets after burn-ups of 25 and 43 GWd/t U. Pure depleted UO2 pellets were also investigated as a reference. The fission product (FP) inventory was calculated using the FISPIN code provided by the UK National Nuclear Laboratory. Experiments were conducted in two phases, during which SIMFuel pellets were sintered for 5 and 12 h at 1730 °C in reducing atmosphere. Some pellets were also heat-treated to simulate microstructural changes in SNF while in the reactor. SIMFuel pellets were up to 92% dense, with grain sizes between 1.5 μm and 5 μm and porosity 4% and 10%. Undoped reference pellet density was ~96.5%, with grain size of 10.3±3.0 μm and ~4.5 area% porosity. Heat treatment of the UO2 samples increased grain size by ~50%, while little change occurred in the doped samples. The chemistry of the various FPs was reproduced with limitations. Notably, during the sintering process oxide precipitates ((Ba,Sr)ZrO3 perovskite phase) and Pd-Ru-Rh-Mo metallic precipitates formed within the UO2 matrix, as originally sought. Spherical oxide precipitates measured up to 30 μm in diameter, while the metallic precipitates were 0.8±0.7 μm. FPs with high solubility in UO2, such as La, Nd and Y, dissolved into the UO2 matrix. ICP-MS analysis showed that some dopants, e.g. Cs and Te, evaporated from the pellets, while the concentration of other elements had also changed during sample fabrication. Very scarce information on real PWR and AGR SNF are reviewed and compared to AGR SIMFuel fabricated in this project. Thorough analysis reveal the severe limitations of the SIMFuel technique in general and call for more experimental work and accessible publications on SNF.
