The TEXAS-V code tuned for TROI-13 was used for analyzing the parametric findings in TROI experiments. The calculations on the melt composition are relatively similar to the TROI experimental results. The water depth effect in TEXAS-V code seems to be consistent with TROI experiments in some degree. The water area effect of TEXAS-V calculations seems not to be harmonious to that in TROI experiments. This seems to indicate that TEXAS-V as 1-dimensional code or as the numerical steam explosion has a limitation on estimating area effect. Thus, TEXAS-V tuned for TROI-13 seems to have an ability to estimate the parametric effect of TROI experiments. The evaluated TEXAS-V was used for estimating the ex-vessel steam explosion load. The calculated explosion pressure and load were about 40 MPa and 75 kPa.sec, which are not much threatening level for containment integrity, but are arguable value for the integrity.

This paper presents the results of the TEXAS-V computer code simulations of FARO L-14, L-28, and L-33. The old break-up model and new break-up model are tested to compare the respective simulations of each. As these experimental data sets cover a wide range of ambient pressures, sub-cooling of the water pool, and the melt jet diameters, the results of the simulations will be beneficial in assessing the TEXAS-V code's capability to predict the steam explosion phenomena in a prototypical reactor case. The current model was found to have some deficiencies, and the modules for the fragmentation, the equation of state, and the interfacial area for each flow regime in TEXAS-V were improved for the simulation of FARO L28 and FARO L-33.

A methodology is proposed for the evaluation of a steam explosion load on a reactor scale by evaluating the steam explosion model against the experimental data. Being part of the OECD/SERENA program,, appropriate data was selected by international experts and the analytical model of TEXAS-V was chosen. The procedure consists of two steps. the pre-mixing model was verified against the FARO L-14 and FARO L-28 data. The explosion model was verified against the experimental data of KROTOS-44, FARO L-33, TROI-13, and TROI-34. The capabilities and deficiencies of the fundamental models of the TEXAS-V are reviewed in terms of their adequacy in a simulation of steam explosion on a reactor scale.

A steam explosion module, STX, has been developed using the mechanistic steam explosion analysis code, TEXAS-V, in order to estimate the dynamic load with steam explosion by implementing the module to the integrated safety analysis code, MELCOR. One of the difficulties in using mechanistic steam explosion codes is that they do not have any obvious criteria for defining some uncertain parameters such as triggering timing, triggering magnitude, mesh axial length and mesh cross-sectional area. These parameters have been user decision parts in the past. Steam explosion sample calculations and sensitivity studies on uncertain parameters were conducted to investigate those uncertain parameters. The TEXAS-V simulations were summarized in the format of a look-up table and a linear interpolation technique was adopted to calculate the steam explosion load between the data points in the table. The STX-module merged with MELCOR showed the same results as the original MELCOR and additionally it could estimate the steam explosion load in the reactor cavity.

In "Creating the Technopolis: High Technology Development in Austin Texas," Smilor, Kozmetsky, and Gibson (1988) make the case that in the mid-1980s Austin was becoming a globally competitive high tech region. Indeed over the years and into 2013, Austin has established its reputation as a leading entrepreneurial and technology center and "talent magnet." Delegations from across the US and worldwide visit Austin to better understand how this central Texas city went from being a state government and university town to become a fast growing, globally competitive, technology hotspot leading the state and nation in job creation. Central to the concept of the Triple Helix and Technopolis Frameworks is the importance of university, business, and government cooperation. This paper gives examples of mechanisms, processes, and metrics on how The University of Texas at Austin; regional technology industry; federal, state, and local government policies; and support groups all contributed to growing and sustaining the Austin Technopolis.

In this paper, a wide input range active multi-pulse rectifier for utility interface of power electronic converters is proposed. The scheme combines multi-pulse method using a V-A transformer and boost rectifier modules. A current control scheme for the rectifier modules is proposed to achieve sinusoidal line currents in the utility input over a wide input range of input voltage and output load conditions. A design example is included for a 208V to 460V input, $700V_{dc}$ do 10kW output rectifier system. Simulation results are shown.

Functional photoacoustic tomography is a new non-invasive imaging modality, and it is emerging as a very practical method for imaging biological tissue structures by means of laser-induced ultrasound. Structures with high optical absorption, such as blood vessels, can be imaged with the spatial resolution of ultrasound, which is not limited by the strong light scattering in biological tissues. By varying wavelengths of the laser light and acquiring photoacoustic images, optical absorption spectrum of each image pixel is found. Since the biochemical constituents of tissues determine the spectrum, useful functional information like oxygen saturation ($SO_2$) and total haemoglobin concentration (HbT) can be extracted. In this study, as a proof-of-principle experiment, hypoxic brain tumor vasculature and traumatic brain injury (TBI) of small animal brain are imaged with functional photoacoustic tomography. High resolution brain vasculature images of oxygen saturation and total hemoglobin concentration are provided to visualize hypoxic tumor vasculature, and hemorrhage on the cortex surface by the TBI.

In this letter we report on the carrier velocity of polycrystalline pentacene transistors as a function of electric field. We performed a series of measurements on devices with a range of channel lengths. At moderate electric fields (<$5{\times}10^5$ V/cm), the characteristics are similar to those of disordered or amorphous organic semiconductors. The highest velocities we have measured are near $6{\times}10^4$ cm/s at room temperature. We perform quasi-static and dynamic measurements to measure carrier velocity. These results fill an important void between experimental results that have been obtained with disordered/amorphous organic semiconductors and single crystals.

미국의 초창기 소수집단우대정책(Affirmative Action)의 목적은 과거의 인종 차별로 인한 피해를 바로 잡고자 하는 차원에서 고용 및 교육에 대한 기회와 공평한 분배를 보장하고자 소수 인종을 우대하자는 데 있었다. 인종차별로 인한 과거를 보상하자는 취지에서 마련된 이 정책은 대학 입학 정책 실행에 있어 소수인종에 수혜를 주는 정원할당이라는 역차별과 공정성을 둘러싼 법적 논쟁이 끊이지 않았으며, 매 소송마다 연방법원 및 대법원 판결을 중심으로 그에 대한 법적 논리와 원칙, 준거를 마련하며 제도는 발전되어 왔다. 최근 들어 미국의 명문 주립대 중 하나인 텍사스주립대(University of Texas at Austin)에서는 소수집단우대정책의 시행이 백인 지원자들에 대한 역차별인지 여부를 결정할 대법원 판결(Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin)을 기다리면서 이 정책은 또다시 주목 받고 있다. 본 연구는 대학 입학정책에 있어 제도적 프레임의 결과로서 대법원 판례에 투영된 소수집단우대정책이 어떤 변화를 겪어 발전되어 왔는지, 이에 영향을 미친 역사적 맥락, 정치적 역학 구도와 관련 행위자들의 행동 전략을 역사적 신제도주의를 바탕으로 세 가지 차원을 통합하여 통합적 접근으로서의 정책의 변화 과정을 엿볼 수 있도록 분석하였다.
