  • This work presents the variation of formic acid oxidation on Pt depending on hydrodynamic condition using a rotating disk electrode. As the rotating speed increases, the oxidation rate of formic acid decreases under voltammetric and chronoamperometric measurements. The coverages of poison formed from formic acid during the chronoamperomertric investigations decrease when the rotating speed increases. As the roughness factor of Pt electrode surface increases, on the other hand, the current density of formic acid oxidation increases. These observations are discussed in terms of the tangential flow along Pt electrode surfaces generated by the rotating disk electrode, which reduces a contact time between formic acid and a Pt site, thus the formic acid adsorption.

  • Consideration is given to the possibility to use changes in buoyancy as a negative reactivity feedback mechanism during temperature transients in heavy liquid metal fast reactors. It is shown that by the proper use of heavy pellets in the fuel elements, fuel rods could be endowed with a passive self-ejection mechanism and then with a negative feedback. A first estimate of the feasibility of the mechanism is calculated by using a simplified geometry and model. If in addition, a neutron poison pellet is introduced at the bottom of the fuel, then when the fuel element is displaced upward by buoyancy force, the reactivity will be reduced not only by disassembly of the core but also by introducing the neutron poison from the bottom. The use of induced buoyancy opens up the possibility of introducing greater amounts of actinides into the core, as well as providing a palliative solution to the problem of positive coolant temperature reactivity coefficients that could be featured by the heavy liquid metal fast reactors.

  • Bacteriophage M13 DNAs carrying the wild type or base substituted SV40 DNA replication origins were used for replication assay. In vivo and in vitro assay with African green monkey cell line COS-1 showed that the replication of M13-SV40 recombinant DNAs was restricted like a pBR322 SV40 recombinant DNA(Lusky and Botchan, 1981). Furthermore, recombinant phage DNAs isolated from the transfected siminan cells subsequently show a reduced ability to retransform E. coli. But pATSV-W(Kim et al., 1988) was replicated in COS-1 cells normally. We think that a poison sequence may exist on bacteriophage M13 DNA like pBR322.

  • DA-125, a new antitumor agent, was compared with adriamycin, a known DNA intercalator, in terms of inhibitory mechanism of DNA replication by using replicating simian virus 40 (SV40) genome in vivo. In analyzing the SV40 DNA replication intermediates present in cells treated with DA-125, it was not observed to accumulate B-dimers of SV40 DNA which are prominent in adriamycin-treated cells. However, treatment with DA-125 induced dose-dependent formation of DNA-topoisomerase complex which is characteristic of topoisomerase poisons. In addition, DA-125 showed more efficient in inhibiting SV40 DNA replication than adriamycin. Therefore, on the basis of this observation, we suggest that DA-125, a derivative of adriamycin, inhibits DNA replication by blocking topoisomerase activity as a toposomerase poison although adriamycin blocks topoisomerase activity as a DNA intercalator.

  • Available Safe Egress Time(ASET) is the time available for occupants to evacuate safely In compartment fire, and It depends on the time of fire detection and hazardous conditions. The purpose of thls study Is to provide an analytical basis and experimental data for estimating the fire growth in compartments and the available safe egress time, and to compare the experimental data with those proposed equations. As a result, hazard order Is poison to CO, descent of smoke layer, poison to $CO_2$, burn to hot smoke layer, and lack of $O_2$, ASET is lengthened in this order. Also, The more fire load is increased, the more ASET is shorted.

  • In this paper, McCARD code was verified using various models listed in the NUREG/CR-6361 benchmark guide, which provides specifications for single pin-cells, single assemblies, and the whole core classified depending on the nuclear properties and structural characteristics. McCARD code was verified by comparing its results with those of SCALE code for single pin-cell and single assembly benchmark problems. The difference in the multiplication factor obtained through the two codes did not exceed 90 pcm. The benchmark guide treats a total of 173 whole core experiments. The experiments are categorized as simple lattices, separator plates, reflecting walls, reflecting walls and separator plates, burnable absorber fuel rods, water holes, poison rods, and borated moderator. As a result of numerical simulation using McCARD, the mean value of the multiplication factors is 1.00223 and the standard deviation of the multiplication factors is 285 pcm. The difference between the multiplication factors and the experimental value is in the range of -665 pcm to + 1609 pcm. In addition, statistics of results for experiments categorized by reactor shape, additional structure, burnable poison, etc., are detailed in the main text.

  • This paper proposes an IPSec accelerator performance analysis model based a queue model. It assumes Poison distribution as its input traffic load. The decoding delay is employed as a performance analysis measure. Simulation results based on the proposed model show around 15% differences with respect to actual measurements on field traffic for the BCM5820 accelerator device. The performance analysis model provides with reasonable hardware structure of network servers, and can be used to span design spaces statistically.
