Subjects: subject: Nuclear
subject: NUCLEAR FISSION and FUSION (Nuclear Fission - Other nuclear fission)

description: The Natural Hazards Review project will develop a framework and best practice approach to characterise natural hazards and seek to improve methodologies where current approaches are inefficient. This is to improve energy system infrastructure design and the project is intended to share knowledge of natural hazards across sectors.The project will be completed in three stages. Phase one will focus on a gap analysis. Phase two will look at developing a series of improved methodologies from the gaps identified in phase one, and phase three will demonstrate how to apply these methodologies. Finally, phase 3 will develop a “how to” guide for use by project engineers.

Hailstones are a solid form of precipitation formed within large convective storms (i.e. thunderstorms). Smaller hailstones do require consideration, principally due to the hazard created when a depth of hail settles on the ground or on the roof of a structure.The depth of hail is also important as, like snow,The weight could cause roofs of buildings to collapse.However, much larger hailstones (diameters greater than 50 mm) are occasionally produced by violent storms.These hailstones can cause considerable damage.

description: Dust transport and deposition behind larger boulders on the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G) have been observed by the Rosetta mission. We present a mechanism for dust transport vectors based on a homogenous surface activity model incorporating in detail the topography of 67P/C-G. The combination of gravitation, gas drag, and Coriolis force leads to specific dust transfer pathways, which for higher dust velocities fuel the near nucleus coma. By distributing dust sources homogeneously across the whole cometary surface, we derive a global dust-transport map of 67P/C-G. The transport vectors are in agreement with the reported wind-tail directions in the Philae descent area.

description: We consider a class of topological defects in $(1,1)$-dimensions with a deformed $ϕ^4$ kink structure whose stability analysis leads to a Schrödinger-like equation with a zero-mode and at least one vibrational (shape) mode. We are interested in the dynamics of kink-antikink collisions, focusing on the structure of two-bounce windows. For small deformation and for one or two vibrational modes, the observed two-bounce windows are explained by the standard mechanism of a resonant effect between the first vibrational and the translational modes. With the increasing of the deformation, the effect of the appearance of more than one vibrational mode is the gradual disappearance of the initial two-bounce windows. The total suppression of two-bounce windows even with the presence of a vibrational mode offers a counterexample from what expected from the standard mechanism. For even larger deformation, some two-bounce windows reappear, but with a non-standard structure.

description: Tsfasman-Boguslavsky Conjecture predicts the maximum number of zeros that a system of linearly independent homogeneous polynomials of the same positive degree with coefficients in a finite field can have in the corresponding projective space. We give a self-contained proof to show that this conjecture holds in the affirmative in the case of systems of three homogeneous polynomials, and also to show that the conjecture is false in the case of five quadrics in the 3-dimensional projective space over a finite field. Connections between the Tsfasman-Boguslavsky Conjecture and the determination of generalized Hamming weights of projective Reed-Muller codes are outlined and these are also exploited to show that this conjecture holds in the affirmative in the case of systems of a "large" number of three homogeneous polynomials, and to deduce the counterexample of 5 quadrics. An application to the nonexistence of lines in certain Veronese varieties over finite fields is also included.

description: We determine exactly the mass-coupling relation for the simplest multi-scale quantum integrable model, the homogenous sine-Gordon model with two independent mass-scales. We first reformulate its perturbed coset CFT description in terms of the perturbation of a projected product of minimal models. This representation enables us to identify conserved tensor currents on the UV side. These UV operators are then mapped via form factor perturbation theory to operators on the IR side, which are characterized by their form factors. The relation between the UV and IR operators is given in terms of the sought-for mass-coupling relation. By generalizing the $Θ$ sum rule Ward identity we are able to derive differential equations for the mass-coupling relation, which we solve in terms of hypergeometric functions. We check these results against the data obtained by numerically solving the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz equations, and find a complete agreement.

description: Dielectric-dependent hybrid (DDH) functionals were recently shown to yield accurate energy gaps and dielectric constants for a wide variety of solids, at a computational cost considerably less than that of GW calculations. The fraction of exact exchange included in the definition of DDH functionals depends (self-consistently) on the dielectric constant of the material. Here we introduce a range-separated (RS) version of DDH functionals where short and long-range components are matched using system dependent, non-empirical parameters. We show that RS DDHs yield accurate electronic properties of inorganic and organic solids, including energy gaps and absolute ionization potentials. Furthermore we show that these functionals may be generalized to finite systems.

description: We present the stellar mass-halo mass scaling relation for 46 X-ray selected low-mass clusters or groups detected in the XMM-BCS survey with masses $2\times10^{13}M_{\odot}\lesssim M_{500}\lesssim2.5\times10^{14}M_{\odot}$ at redshift $0.1\le z \le1.02$. The cluster binding masses $M_{500}$ are inferred from the measured X-ray luminosities \Lx, while the stellar masses $M_{\star}$ of the galaxy populations are estimated using near-infrared imaging from the SSDF survey and optical imaging from the BCS survey. With the measured \Lx\ and stellar mass $M_{\star}$, we determine the best fit stellar mass-halo mass relation, accounting for selection effects, measurement uncertainties and the intrinsic scatter in the scaling relation. The resulting mass trend is $M_{\star}\propto M_{500}^{0.69\pm0.15}$, the intrinsic (log-normal) scatter is $σ_{\ln M_{\star}|M_{500}}=0.36^{+0.07}_{-0.06}$, and there is no significant redshift trend $M_{\star}\propto (1+z)^{-0.04\pm0.47}$, although the uncertainties are still large. We also examine $M_{\star}$ within a fixed projected radius of $0.5$~Mpc, showing that it provides a cluster binding mass proxy with intrinsic scatter of $\approx93\%$ (1$σ$ in $M_{500}$). We compare our $M_{\star}=M_{\star}(M_{500}, z)$ scaling relation from the XMM-BCS clusters with samples of massive, SZE-selected clusters ($M_{500}\approx6\times10^{14}M_{\odot}$) and low mass NIR-selected clusters ($M_{500}\approx10^{14}M_{\odot}$) at redshift $0.6\lesssim z \lesssim1.3$. After correcting for the known mass measurement systematics in the compared samples, we find that the scaling relation is in good agreement with the high redshift samples, suggesting that for both groups and clusters the stellar content of the galaxy populations within $R_{500}$ depends strongly on mass but only weakly on redshift out to $z\approx1$.

description: Aims. We investigate the environmental dependence of the stellar mass fundamental plane (FP$_*$) using the early-type galaxy sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7). Methods. The FP$_*$ is calculated by replacing the luminosity in the fundamental plane (FP) with stellar mass. Based on the SDSS group catalog, we characterize the galaxy environment according to the mass of the host dark matter halo and the position in the halo. In halos with the same mass bin, the color distributions of central and satellite galaxies are different. Therefore, we calculate FP$_*$ coefficients of galaxies in different environments and compare them with those of the FP to study the contribution of the stellar population. Results. We find that coefficient $a$ of the FP$_*$ is systematically larger than that of the FP, but coefficient $b$ of the FP$_*$ is similar to the FP. Moreover, the environmental dependence of the FP$_*$ is similar to that of the FP. For central galaxies, FP$_*$ coefficients are significantly dependent on the halo mass. For satellite galaxies, the correlation between FP$_*$ coefficients and the halo mass is weak. Conclusions. We conclude that the tilt of the FP is not primarily driven by the stellar population.

Transmission spectroscopy of HAT-P-32b with the LBT: confirmation of clouds/hazes in the planetary atmosphere

description: Spectroscopic observations of a transit event of an extrasolar planet offer the opportunity to study the composition of the planetary atmosphere. We observed a transit of the inflated Hot Jupiter HAT-P-32b with MODS at the LBT to characterize its atmosphere from 3300 to 10000 AA. A time series of target and reference star spectra was binned in two broad-band wavelength channels, from which differential transit light curves were constructed. These broad-band light curves were used to confirm previous transit parameter determinations. To derive the planetary transmission spectrum with a resolution of R ~ 60, we created a chromatic set of 62 narrow-band light curves with an average wavelength width of about 100 AA. The spectrum was corrected for the third-light of a near-by M star, whose spectrum was resolved in the individual exposures. Additionally, we undertook a photometric monitoring campaign of the host star to correct for the influence of starspots. The transmission spectrum of HAT-P-32b shows no pressure-broadened absorption features from Na and K, which is interpreted by the presence of clouds or hazes in the planetary atmosphere. This result is in agreement to previous studies on the same planet. The presence of TiO in gas phase could be ruled out. We find a 2.8 sigma indication of increased absorption in the line core of potassium (KI~7699 AA). No narrow absorption features of Na and Halpha were detected. Furthermore, tentative indications were found for a slope of increasing opacity toward blue wavelengths from the near-IR to the near-UV with an amplitude of two scale heights. If confirmed by follow-up observations, it can be explained by aerosols either causing Mie scattering or causing Rayleigh scattering with an aerosol - gas scale height ratio below unity.

description: We present results on the inspiral, merger, and post-merger evolution of a neutron star - neutron star (NSNS) system. Our results are obtained using the hybrid pseudospectral-finite volume Spectral Einstein Code (SpEC). To test our numerical methods, we evolve an equal-mass system for $\approx 22$ orbits before merger. This waveform is the longest waveform obtained from fully general-relativistic simulations for NSNSs to date. Such long (and accurate) numerical waveforms are required to further improve semi-analytical models used in gravitational wave data analysis, for example the effective one body models. We discuss in detail the improvements to SpEC's ability to simulate NSNS mergers, in particular mesh refined grids to better resolve the merger and post-merger phases. We provide a set of consistency checks and compare our results to NSNS merger simulations with the independent BAM code. We find agreement between them, which increases confidence in results obtained with either code. This work paves the way for future studies using long waveforms and more complex microphysical descriptions of neutron star matter in SpEC.

description: This study explored the daily practices and professional identity of Educational Designers (EDs), in supercomplex Victorian universities. Through a qualitative phenomenological lens, the voices and perspectives of this heterogeneous professional group were captured. Understanding was developed of how their practices are enabled and/or constrained by particular arrangements in intersubjective spaces; as they facilitate, lead and support improvements in strategically articulated educational projects. Findings uncovered that the practices of EDs are situated within the third space, in between academia and higher education work, yet their professional identity is being made visible through their collegiality, collaboration, their own intentionality, agency, and agility.

Superconductivity at very low density: the case of strontium titanate

description: Doped strontium titanate becomes superconducting at a density as low as n = 5 x 10^17 cm^-3, where the Fermi energy is orders of magnitude smaller than the longitudinal-optical-phonon frequencies. In this limit the only optical mode with a frequency which is smaller than the Fermi energy is the plasmon. In contrast to metals, the interaction strength is weak due to screening by the crystal, which allows the construction of a controllable theory of plasmon superconductivity. We show that plasma mediated pairing alone can account for the observed transition temperatures if the screening by the crystal is reduced in the slightly doped samples compared with the insulating ones. This mechanism can also explain the pairing in the two-dimensional superconducting states observed at surfaces and interfaces with other oxides. We also discuss unique features of the plasmon mechanism, which appear in the tunneling density of states above the gap.

Contrary to solar effects on terrestrial weather which are dominated by the radiation emitted at wavelengths in the visible and infrared parts of the solar spectrum, effects due to space weather are in large part due to contributions from other frequencies of light such as Extreme UV (EUV), X-rays, and gamma (γ) rays, as well as charged particles from the Sun and magnetic fields.Solar flares are the sudden brightening associated with the solar active regions (sunspots where brief releases of magnetic and thermic energies are observed. During these episodes solar energetic particles (SEPs) and magnetised plasma called coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are produced.The aforementioned processes impact the magnetosphere —The Earth’s magnetic shield — in different ways. CMEs are often responsible for generating the most intense geomagnetic storms, which are temporary disturbances of the magnetosphere.The geomagnetic storm may generate geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in the ground by inductive effects due to the increased electric field propagating into the atmosphere. In this volume, the impacts of extreme geomagnetic storms and associated GICs are discussed in more detail.The likelihood of extreme geomagnetic storms occurring in the UK is discussed.Then, the different elements required to simulate GIC are outlined. Finally, past GIC analyses for the UK network and the impact expected on transformer systems are summarised.

description: We describe a general strategy for the verification of variational source condition by formulating two sufficient criteria describing the smoothness of the solution and the degree of ill-posedness of the forward operator in terms of a family of subspaces. For linear deterministic inverse problems we show that variational source conditions are necessary and sufficient for convergence rates slower than the square root of the noise level. A similar result is shown for linear inverse problems with white noise. If the forward operator can be written in terms of the functional calculus of a Laplace-Beltrami operator, variational source conditions can be characterized by Besov spaces. This is discussed for a number of prominent inverse problems.

description: The focus of this thesis is to introduce and develop a non-viral, low-voltage, and reusable electroactive nanoinjection (ENI) platform based on vertically configured electroactive nanotube (NT) arrays. The localisation of electric fields at the NT–cell membrane interface causes minimal disruption to the cell membrane (i.e., transient pore formation), allowing for rapid influx of targeted cargoes from the NTs into the intracellular environment. The developed ENI platform offers a new path for intracellular delivery with broader selection of cargo and cell types, providing a strong potential in opening new opportunities for advanced ex vivo cell engineering.

description: The quaternion Bingham distribution has been used to model preferred crystallographic orientation, or crystallographic texture, in polycrystalline materials in the materials science and geological communities. A primary difficulty in applying the Bingham distribution has been the lack of an efficient method for fitting the distribution parameters with respect to the materials underlying crystallographic symmetry or any statistical sample symmetry due to processing. In this paper we present a symmetrized distribution, based on the quaternion Bingham, which can account for any general combination of crystallographic or sample symmetries. We also introduce a numerical scheme for estimating the parameters of the symmetrized distribution based on the well known expectation maximization algorithm.

description: We review aspects of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) spectral distortions which do not appear to have been fully explored in the literature. In particular, implications of recent evidences of heating of the intergalactic medium (IGM) by feedback from active galactic nuclei are investigated. Taking also into account the IGM heating associated to structure formation, we argue that values of the y parameter of several*10^(-6), i.e. a factor of a few below the COBE/FIRAS upper limit, are to be expected. The Compton scattering by the re-ionized plasma also re-processes primordial distortions, adding a y-type contribution. Hence no pure Bose-Einstein-like distortions are to be expected. An assessment of Galactic and extragalactic foregrounds, taking into account the latest results from the Planck satellite as well as the contributions from the strong CII and CO lines from star-forming galaxies, demonstrates that a foreground subtraction accurate enough to fully exploit the PIXIE sensitivity will be extremely challenging. Motivated by this fact we also discuss methods to detect spectral distortions not requiring absolute measurements and show that accurate determinations of the frequency spectrum of the CMB dipole amplitude may substantially improve over COBE/FIRAS limits on distortion parameters. Such improvements may be at reach of next generation CMB anisotropy experiments. The estimated amplitude of the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) dipole might be detectable by careful analyses of Planck maps at the highest frequencies. Thus Planck might provide interesting constraints on the CIB intensity, currently known with a ~30% uncertainty.

description: Development and construction of a new nuclear power station can span 10 to 20 years.The development phase is delivered by two separate organisations:The vendor, who develops the design for construction and operation by others; and the developer, who initiates and leads one or more nuclear power station projects.The developer also requires an operating organisation which will hold the required regulatory licences, consents and permissions to build and operate a nuclear power station.There can be a number of different legal relationships between the developer and operator such as wholly owned, part owned in a joint venture, or long-term contract.The essential requirement is that during the development phase the developer needs to ensure that there is an operating organisation, also known as the licensee, which is established as a distinct legal entity and capable of fulfilling its legal obligations.The long period of development is delivered in a sequence of related activities. For each activity there needs to be sufficient confidence that the planned goals can be achieved consistent with the level of investment.The activities are inter-related, which requires an integrated development programme with a combined set of requirements and outcomes.

description: Successful scientific applications of large-scale molecular dynamics often rely on automated methods for identifying the local crystalline structure of condensed phases. Many existing methods for structural identification, such as Common Neighbour Analysis, rely on interatomic distances (or thresholds thereof) to classify atomic structure. As a consequence they are sensitive to strain and thermal displacements, and preprocessing such as quenching or temporal averaging of the atomic positions is necessary to provide reliable identifications. We propose a new method, Polyhedral Template Matching (PTM), which classifies structures according to the topology of the local atomic environment, without any ambiguity in the classification, and with greater reliability than e.g. Common Neighbour Analysis in the presence of thermal fluctuations. We demonstrate that the method can reliably be used to identify structures even in simulations near the melting point, and that it can identify the most common ordered alloy structures as well. In addition, the method makes it easy to identify the local lattice orientation in polycrystalline samples, and to calculate the local strain tensor. An implementation is made available under a Free and Open Source Software license.

description: In this second paper on the entire virial region of the relaxed fossil cluster RXJ1159+5531, we present a hydrostatic analysis of the hot intracluster medium (ICM). For a model consisting of ICM, stellar mass from the central galaxy (BCG), and an NFW dark matter (DM) halo, we obtain good descriptions of the projected radial profiles of ICM emissivity and temperature. The BCG stellar mass is clearly detected with M_star/L_K = 0.61 +/- 0.11 solar, consistent with stellar population synthesis models for a Milky-Way IMF. We obtain a halo concentration, c_200 =8.4 +/- 1.0, and virial mass, M_200 = 7.9 +/- 0.6 x 10^13 M_sun. For its mass, the inferred concentration is larger than most relaxed halos produced in cosmological simulations with Planck parameters, consistent with RXJ1159+5531 forming earlier than the general halo population. The baryon fraction at r_200, f_b,200 = 0.134 +/- 0.007, is slightly below the Planck value (0.155) for the universe. When we account for the stellar baryons associated with non-central galaxies and the uncertain intracluster light, f_b,200 increases by ~0.015, consistent with the cosmic value. Performing our analysis in the context of MOND still requires a large DM fraction (85.0% +/- 2.5% at r=100 kpc) similar to that obtained using the standard Newtonian approach. The detection of a plausible stellar BCG mass component distinct from the NFW DM halo in the total gravitational potential suggests that ~10^14 M_sun represents the mass scale above which dissipation is unimportant in the formation of the central regions of galaxy clusters.
