Objective. To compare the sex differences of various components of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods. Data of 4823 patients from a large observational cohort study were analyzed. …

High-thermal performance PWR spacer grids require both of low pressure loss and high
critical heat flux (CHF) properties. Therefore, a numerical study using computational fluid …

Mitsubishi has developed a new zircalloy grid spacer for PWR fuel with higher thermal
performance. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) evaluation method has been applied for …

Precise measurement of velocity in fuel bundles is required to improve the thermal hydraulic
characteristics of Pressurerized Water Reactor (PWR) spacer grids. However, the use of …

Precise measurement of velocity in fuel bundles is required to improve the thermal-hydraulic
properties of Pressurerized Water Reactor (PWR) spacer grids. To better understand the …

A number of studies have been made on the influence of cross-flow on rod vibration of PWR
(Pressurized water reactor) fuel rods, but it has not becn clarificd. In this study, rod vibration …

Background Zinc is an essential micronutrient for maintaining biological activity. The level of
zinc in the blood is known to decrease with age, especially in those over 75 years of age. In …

PWR grid spacer has mixing vanes to promote coolant mixing around fuel rods. It is important
to estimate flow field at downstream of the grid more precisely because the pressure loss …

Objective. To investigate whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the estrogen
receptor (ER) α and β genes are associated with dis-β ease susceptibility and clinical …

The thermal-hydraulic design technique of Japanese· P· WR fuel. assembly was originally
transferred from foreign PWR venders. Since then, the design of the fuel assembly has been …
