Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency causing Wernicke encephalopathy occurs most frequently
in people with compromised absorption (eg, malnutrition, hyperemesis), increased …

Importance Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating stroke type that lacks effective
treatments. An imaging biomarker of ICH expansion—the computed tomography (CT) …

This paper introduces a PV system model useful for steady-state power flow studies of
practical electrical networks. This multi-array PV system model features a comprehensive …

The life cycle analysis (LCA) is a versatile tool to evaluate process and production systems,
and is useful to compare environmental burdens. For the purposes of this LCA, a high …

An optimization procedure based on the tabu search (TS) method was developed for the
design of radial enrichment and gadolinia distributions for boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel …

The AZTLAN Platform project is presented in this paper. This project aims to modernize,
improve and incorporate the neutronics, thermo-hydraulics and thermo-mechanical codes …

Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) of thermoelectric plants frequently focus on impacts related
to fuel and water consumption. The purpose of this research was to determine the …

A system named AXIAL is developed based on the genetic algorithms (GA) optimization
method, using the 3D steady state simulator code Core-Master-PRESTO (CM-PRESTO) to …

This work proposes advances in the implementation of a flexible genetic algorithm (GA) for
fuel loading pattern optimization for Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs). In order to avoid specific …

This paper presents the training of an artificial neural network (ANN) to accurately predict, in
very short time, a physical parameter used in nuclear fuel reactor optimization: the local …
