THIN-PLATE-TYPE EMBEDDED ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER BASED ON MAGNETOSTRICTION FOR THE THICKNESS MONITORING OF THE SECONDARY PIPING SYSTEM OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Pipe wall thinning in the secondary piping system of a nuclear power plant is currently a major problem that typically Soap affects the safety and reliability of the nuclear power plant directly.Regular in-service inspections are carried out to manage the piping system only during the overhaul.Online thickness monitoring is necessary to avoid abrup

The morphological characteristics and electrochemical behavior of nickel metal foil (Ni), nickel-polyvinyl chloride (Ni-PVC) and nickel-cobalt-polyvinyl chloride (Ni-Co-PVC) electrodes in alkaline solution has been investigated.The morphological characteristics of the electrode surface were studied using SEM and EDS, while the electrochemical behav

Abstract Background During kidney organogenesis, metanephric mesenchyme (MM) and ureteric bud (UB) interact reciprocally to form nephrons.Signaling stimuli involved in these interactions include Wnts, growth factors and nano/micro particles.How UB and MM are interacting is not completely understood.Our study investigated the signaling and communica

This paper presents on the results of radiation studies for three commonly used wireless sensor nodes based on the following protocols: ZigBee, WirelessHART, ISA 100.11a, and network devices built with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components.The level of Cat Food-Wet radiation considered is at par with that experienced at Fukushima Daiichi Nucle
