Allocation of spent nuclear fuel transport casks
… alternative chosen. In this study, a constrained transportation model of the spent fuel cask scheduling problem is formulated with the objective of determining the minimum number of casks required to meet a fixed transport schedule. An iterative search procedure is employed to determine schedules …

Surface and bulk passivation of multicrystalline silicon solar cells by silicon nitride (H) layer : modeling and experiments
… observed by lifetime measurements. Previous SRH modeling result shows that very high Qf (up to several 1012/cm2) on the surface of Si wafer, induced by SiNX:H layer, leads to no injection level dependence of surface recombination velocity (SRV), which is in contradiction to experimental results. …
