Effective thermal conductivity of binary mixed materials with fissile components - an empirical approach
… the effective thermal conductivity of a binary mixed material with heat generation is presented. Analysis was carried out for a steady state problem with spherical geometry to develop an expression for the effective thermal conductivity for the spherical pebble fuel in a pebble bed reactor. The …

Stability of Embankments Founded on Soft Soil Improved with Deep-Mixing-Method Columns
… of settlement and stability, even though deep mixed materials are highly variable. Conservative deterministic design procedures have evolved to limit failures. Disadvantages of this approach include (1) designs with an unknown degree of conservatism and (2) contract administration problems …

Innovative lightweight floor systems for steel framed buildings
… floor systems using various configurations of mixed materials. Floor systems have a/ways been one of the heaviest components of a buildings structural system, and therefore comprise a significant portion of the structures dead load. As a result, by developing a substantially lighter-weight …

AEVITA : designing biomimetic vehicle-to-pedestrian communication protocols for autonomously operating & parking on-road electric vehicles
… CityCar concept vehicle, featuring advanced mixed-materials (CFRP + Aluminum) and a significantly more modularized architecture.

The Future of Plastics Trade: Identifying Determinants and Impacts of the Shifting Global Plastic Scraps Network
… banned the import of plastic waste and other materials, triggering ripple effects throughout the global plastic scraps trade network. The impacts are cross-sectoral and multi-scalar, cascading across markets, policy, the natural environment, public health, and have increased uncertainty about …

Theoretical and Experimental Studies of Radiation from Z-Pinch Complex Wire Arrays and Applications
… Traditional nested cylindrical wire arrays with mixed materials (brass and Al, Mo and Al) were tested to understand how the inner and outer arrays implode and radiate. Novel planar wire arrays, which have been shown to be very powerful radiation sources, arranged in single, double, and triple …

Skill embeddings: artificial neural network representations for pedagogical policy development.
… are taught, practised, or assessed, by these mixed materials: this makes combining them in a common pedagogical framework impracticable in the gen- eral case. This thesis researches methods to gain pedagogical insight from such multi-origin items, and in particular the use of novel neural …
