Modelling gas release event behaviour in hazardous waste tanks

Certain radioactive waste storage tanks at the United States Department of Energy Hanford facilities continuously generate gases as a result of radiolysis and chemical reactions. The congealed sludge in these tanks traps the gases beneath it and causes the level of the waste within the tanks to rise. The waste level continues to rise until the sludge loses its buoyancy and rolls over, changing places with fluid on top. During a rollover, the trapped gases are released, resulting in a sudden drop in the waste level. This is known as a gas release event (GRE). After a GRE, the waste re-congeals and gas again accumulates, leading to another GRE. We are interested in the time between consecutive GREs. Understanding the probabilistic behaviour of the time between consecutive GREs is important because the hydrogen and nitrous oxide gases released during a GRE are flammable and the ammonia that is released is a health risk. From a safety perspective, activity around such waste tanks should be halted when a GRE is imminent. With a credible probability model for the time between consecutive GREs, we can establish time windows in which waste tank research and maintenance activities can be safely performed. We discuss the application of non-linear time series models to this problem.     

Conservation Value of Non-Native Banteng in Northern Australia

Abstract:  The global species extinction crisis has provided the impetus for elaborate translocation, captive breeding, and cloning programs, but more extreme actions may be necessary. We used mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome, and nuclear lactoferrin-encoding gene sequencing to identify a wild population of a pure-strain endangered bovid ( Bos javanicus ) introduced into northern Australia over 150 years ago. This places the Australian population in a different conservation category relative to its domesticated conspecific in Indonesia (i.e., Bali cattle) that has varying degrees of introgression from other domesticated Bos spp. The success of this endangered non-native species demonstrates that although risky, the deliberate introduction of threatened exotic species into non-native habitat may provide, under some circumstances, a biologically feasible option for conserving large herbivores otherwise imperiled in their native range.

开放和封闭空间内不同间隙的竖向电缆燃烧试验研究

为了研究封闭空间对竖向电缆燃烧过程的影响,在开放空间和封闭空间内分别进行了一系列不同间隙的竖向电缆燃烧试验。通过分析开放空间和封闭空间内不同电缆间隙的竖向电缆燃烧过程中质量损失速率,得到电缆之间的间隙对竖向电缆燃烧速率有着决定性的影响。通过对比开放空间和封闭空间内竖向电缆的燃烧过程发现,封闭空间对竖向电缆燃烧过程的影响作用存在一个临界区间,该区间的临界判据是由电缆燃烧火焰对电缆的热作用和封闭空间内烟气层对电缆的热反馈决定的。基于封闭空间内的竖向温度分布,通过分析其无量纲温度梯度,得到封闭空间内竖向电缆燃烧过程存在一个特征明显的温度过渡区域。
