Transport-theory-equivalent diffusion coefficients for node-homogenized neutron diffusion problems in CANDU lattices
(2010-04-01)
Calculation of the neutron flux in a nuclear reactor core is ideally performed by solving the neutron transport equation for a detailed-geometry model using several tens of energy groups. However, performing such detailed ...
Applications and numerical investigation of differential-algebraic equations
(2010-05-01)
Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) result in many areas of science and engineer-
ing. In this thesis, numerical methods for solving DAEs are compared for two prob-
lems, energy-economic models and traffic flow models. ...
The toxicity of Harmony Landfill Leachate to Green Hydra (Hydra viridiisma)
(2010-08-01)
Harmony Landfill is a former industrial waste disposal site located adjacent to Harmony Creek in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. During active disposal, from 1957 until 1980, approximately 1 million tonnes of waste were land-filled ...
Physical and chemical analysis of pig carcass decomposition in a fine sand
(2010-08-01)
The development and improvement of methods used for the estimation of the
postmortem interval (PMI) is a common area of research in forensic science. This
research was conducted to physically and chemically analyze pig ...
Effects of soy and milk ferments on measures of innate immunity: a comparison of effects in normal and microgravity conditions
(2010-07-01)
Probiotics can influence intestinal responses and mucosal immunity either directly or indirectly through transient modulation of the endogenous microenvironment or the immune system. During space travel, astronauts experience ...
