TRACE assessment of density wave instability onset with void reactivity feedback under natural circulation by Paul Hurley, Yang Liu, Tomasz Kozlowski, Juliana P. Duarte

“…Density wave oscillation (DWO) is an important safety concern for boiling water reactors (BWR) due to their high void fraction in the core. Power extensions to existing reactors such as the Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis Plus (MELLLA+) lead to increase susceptibility of DWO-type instability following an anticipated transient without scram (ATWS). …”

The Application of Rehabilitation Therapy Occupational Competency Evaluation Model in the Improvement of College Students’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship by Zhenghan Liang

“…First, the method of qualitative research is used to conduct in-depth interviews with college students and entrepreneurial mentors to understand the views of these groups on college students’ entrepreneurial competency, and the coding of the interview contents is carried out by applying the rooting theory, and finally, a theoretical model of the composition of college students’ entrepreneurial competency is derived. The front-line position of talent cultivation is the construction of faculty, because the faculty with high-quality vocational ability is an indispensable prerequisite for the development of universities, and the teaching level of the faculty is the key factor for the effectiveness of teaching to appear. …”
