Method of estimating break size in piping loop systems

The approach for determining the break size of recirculation loops in a multiple-loop power plant in the event of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) is presented in this study. In this study, the MAAP5 simulation program was used. An approach to measuring the size of a crack or break in the cooling system is the temperature difference between the recirculation loops. This method does not require any additional facilities; it compares the temperatures of the cooling loops to determine which one has a rupture. The best data source was the loop monitoring system, which sends temperature data for analysis to the main control room. A real operating power reactor training simulator and the FSAR are applied to evaluate MAAP5, the methodology's engine. The results of the MAAP5 simulation code were consistent with those of the power plant simulator. Therefore, MAAP5 could produce enough analytical data to create the relationship diagram between temperature difference and break size.The study hypothesized that there exists a maximum value of temperature difference corresponding to each break size and suggested that applying the absolute maximum temperature difference can aid in identifying the break size. This approach proposes an assistive method for determining the size of a fracture or break in the recirculation system by leveraging the temperature difference between each loop.This approach eliminates the need for additional facilities, as temperature data from the recirculation loops can be transmitted to the main control room. After the reactor scram, operators can monitor the maximum temperature differences at the inlet to estimate the break size. Although the fitting curve used to preliminary estimate the Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident break size may overestimate the break size, it still provides valuable insights. This novel tool offers a rapid and comprehensive method for detecting LOCA events in the recirculation loops.

Simplifying the monoscopic deflectometric measurement by extra-facility-free workpiece positioning

Monoscopic deflectometry is a powerful and flexible measuring method for optical surfaces. Precise workpiece positioning is of significance because it directly determines the reliability of the measurement results. But unfortunately, the need for additional facilities severely limits the application of the monoscopic deflectometry. In this paper, a self-positioning method is proposed by combining the ray-tracing and Gaussian process regression. The phases retrieved from the captured images are parameterized using the Zernike polynomials. Then a training model is established for describing the relationship between the Zernike coefficients and the workpiece positions. Workpiece positioning is implemented by computing the associated joint Gaussian distribution. Experimental results show that the positioning accuracy of optical surfaces is comparable with that of a coordinate measuring machine, with a deviation less than 8 × 10−4° in tilt and 4 μm in translation. This greatly simplifies the sophisticated operation and improves the practicability and efficiency of deflectometric measurements.

Healthy living has been known to be linked to availability of portable water supply, clean sanitation, access to good hygienic and attainment of nice healthy status. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the assess level of water supply sanitation, hygiene and health status of residents of Ekosodin community, Edo State using a structured questionnaire from 300 respondents analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 22. Findings showed that residents of the community primarily relied on boreholes as their main water source, with 72.7 % of respondents indicating its usage. The sanitation facilities, such as toilets, were predominantly available, but there was a need for additional facilities, as indicated by 24.7 % of respondents. In terms of hand hygiene, 67.3 % of participants reported the availability of soap and water in their premises. Moreover, 82.7 % of respondents stated that they had separate containers for bathing and storing drinking water, contributing to improved hygiene practices. Health status’ findings revealed the prevalence of vomiting (66.7 %) among participants. Hospital/clinic facilities were the primary choice for medical treatment (74.7%), followed by herbal preparations (25.3%). In conclusion, a community-based intervention program needs to be carried out to educate the populace of Ekosodin residence on maintenance of hand washing practices, toilets and sanitary facilities.

Improved diagnostic sensitivity of human strongyloidiasis using point-of-care mixed recombinant antigen-based immunochromatography

Strongyloidiasis is a neglected tropical disease that can cause fatal complications due to hyperinfection and disseminated strongyloidiasis in immunocompromised patients. We used two Strongyloides stercoralis recombinant antigenic proteins, L3NieAg.01 (NIE) and IgG-immunoreactive antigen (SsIR), to develop the recombinant antigen-based immunochromatography test (ICT) kit. We constructed and compared kits using either the NIE (NIE ICT kit) or the SsIR (SsIR ICT kit) antigens and a kit using a mixture of both (NIE-SsIR ICT kit) for detection of anti-Strongyloides IgG antibody in human serum samples. Serum samples from normal healthy individuals (Group I, n = 40), proven strongyloidiasis patients (Group II, n = 100), and those with other parasitic infections (Group III, n = 154) were evaluated. Sensitivity and specificity were 81.0% and 84.0% for the NIE ICT kit, 89.0% and 83.5% for the SsIR ICT kit, and 95.0% and 90.2% for the NIE-SsIR ICT kit, respectively. The NIE-SsIR ICT kit provided the best diagnostic results; it can supplement stool examination for clinical diagnosis and can be used to screen for asymptomatic S. stercoralis infection in people at risk in endemic areas. The NIE-SsIR ICT kit can also be used in large-scale sero-epidemiological investigations in endemic areas without the need for additional facilities or ancillary supplies.

The Perceived Barriers to Research in College Recreational Sports

Research is an essential component of university recreational sports (URS) because it is needed to scientifically test interventions, defend departmental existence, and to align for further departmental growth. Current data is important documented criteria needed to substantiate an increased operating budget, to justify adding personnel, and to validate the need for additional facilities. However, very few URS professionals conduct and report research. A four-part survey was designed by the investigators to explore the barriers to conducting research, publishing, and presenting. Items were generated through the use of focus groups with college recreational sport staff. While perceived lack of time was consistently cited as a barrier to conducting research, generating publications, and preparing presentations, the study illuminates a number of potential hurdles to creating and maintaining a research culture. In light of these findings, departments of college recreation should be encouraged to examine their organizations and determine the extent to which they enhance or impede research. Finally, it is important to build research capacity within the NIRSA profession to ensure that college recreational sports run efficiently and that professionals can document outcomes, can test new interventions, and evaluate new ways of doing business.

Instrument Landing at the National Bureau of Standards

In 1928 commercial aviation in the United States had developed to the point that the urgent need for additional facilities which would permit all-weather flight was evident to everyone. In anticipation of this need, the aircraft industry had undertaken the development of new and more precise aircraft instruments, including the sensitive altimeter, the artificial horizon, and the directional gyro. The aural radio range was beginning to be installed along the lighted airways and the National Bureau of Standards had completed initial development of the visual type range beacon. The aircraft radio group at the National Bureau of Standards, headed by Harry Diamond under the supervision of Dr. John H. Dellinger, undertook to coordinate these new facilities in an effort to solve the problem of flight during poor visibility. With General (then Lieutenant) James Doolittle as pilot, an installation at Mitchel Field in 1929 of the low-power visual range beacon and low-frequency marker beacon, together with the new flight instruments permitted Doolittle to effect hooded landings. It was evident that additional information was necessary. This was achieved by the development of the landing beam or glide path. Operating on a frequency of about 100 mc, it provided a signal which informed the pilot as to his location with reference to a predetermined descent path. Combined with the radio range beacon, instrument landings now became possible.

Report of special committee on Journal of Geophysics

The Committee—consisting of the chairmen of the seven sections—appointed to consider the possibilities of establishing a Journal of Geophysics finds that there is a great need for additional facilities for the publication at geophysical papers, especially in the fields of hydrology and seismology, and that, all told, the amount of material available seems to be sufficient for from 1000 to 2500 printed pages annually. Inasmuch as the cost per copy, where the number of copies is relatively small, is more or less inversely proportional to the number, first consideration was given to the possibility of securing a substantial number of subscriptions outside the membership of the Union. If the various geophysical organizations of the country, excluding those interested primarily from a commercial standpoint, would each subscribe for its membership, this would furnish a nucleus of a few thousand subscribers and would justify a detailed study of a procedure for financing, printing by the usual process, and distributing a monthly journal. Furthermore, by adopting a well‐selected format and pooling the contract for printing, distribution, and the handling of cash subscriptions with that of other societies using the same format, a substantial saving in these items could be effected. Accordingly, the American Meteorological Society and the Seismological Society of America were approached with the view to getting them to discontinue their publications and contribute what they are now putting into these publications in return for subscriptions to a Journal of Geophysics for their members. However, the American Meteorological Society replied promptly that they did not wish to give up their publication, and after several months the Seismological Society gave a similar reply.
