Strategy to safely enable X-ray computed tomography examination of highly radioactive tristructural isotropic nuclear fuel Open
Nondestructive post-irradiation examination of nuclear fuels and materials is useful in collecting data to inform commercial licensing of new nuclear concepts. This work details the planning, shielding design, and workflow of an X-ray comp…

Development of Oil-Free Lubricants for Cold Rolling of Low-Carbon Steel Open
Oil-in-water emulsions (O/W emulsions) are generally used to lubricate the cold rolling process of low-carbon steel. In addition to the obvious advantages of efficient lubrication and cooling of the process, there are also some disadvantag…

Validating outsourced high throughput automated qPCR for increased research outputs from forest pathology trials Open
Needle diseases of Pinus radiata caused by Phytophthora pluvialis and Phythophthora kernoviae have been increasingly recognised since the discovery of red needle cast in 2008. There is a need for rapid diagnostic screening of numerous samp…

Instabilities in Interacting Binary Stars Open
The types of instability in the interacting binary stars are reviewed. The project "Inter-Longitude Astronomy" is a series of smaller projects on concrete stars or groups of stars. It has no special funds, and is supported from resources a…
