INVESTIGATION ON DAMAGE DEVELOPMENT OF AP1000 NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN STRONG GROUND MOTIONS WITH NUMERICAL SIMULATION

Investigation on damage development of AP1000 nuclear power plant in strong ground motions with numerical simulation

Seismic safety is considered to be one of the key design objectives of AP1000 nuclear power plant (NPP) in strong earthquakes.Dynamic behavior, damage development and aggravation effect are studied in this study for the three main components of AP1000 NPP, namely reinforced concrete shield building (RCSB), steel vessel containment (SVC) and reinfor

Impact of Climate and Slope Aspects on the Composition of Soil Bacterial Communities Involved in Pedogenetic Processes along the Chilean Coastal Cordillera

Soil bacteria play a fundamental role in pedogenesis.However, knowledge about both the impact of climate and slope aspects on microbial communities and the consequences of these items in pedogenesis marca corona laurel is lacking.Therefore, soil-bacterial communities from four sites and two different aspects along the climate gradient of the Chilea

Impact of Particle and Equipment Properties on Residence Time Distribution of Pharmaceutical Excipients in Rotary Tablet Presses

Paddle feeders are devices commonly used in rotary tablet presses to facilitate constant and efficient die filling.Adversely, the shear stress applied by the rotating paddles is known to affect the bulk properties of the processed powder dependent on the residence time.This study focuses on the residence time distribution (RTD) of two commonly appl
