Near Surface Stoichiometry in UO2: A Density Functional Theory Study by Jianguo Yu, Billy Valderrama, Hunter B. Henderson, Michele V. Manuel, Todd Allen

“…In this study, the near (110) surface relaxation and stoichiometry in UO2 have been studied with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. On the basis of the point-defect model (PDM), a general expression for the near surface stoichiometric variation is derived by using DFT total-energy calculations and atomistic thermodynamics, in an attempt to pin down the mechanisms of oxygen exchange between the gas environment and defected UO2. …”

Germany’s Strategic Contraction Following American Hegemony in the Context of Offensive Realism Theory by Tolga Öztürk

“…Considering the current emphasis on the multipolar world and the prevalence of potential conflict areas rather than the functionality of international cooperation and institutions, the article aims to elucidate the systemic reasons for Germany’s constrictions vis-à-vis global powers and the options for alleviating this constriction by utilizing Mearsheimer’s theory of offensive realism.…”

Stochastic Inversion Method for Concrete Dams on the Basis of Bayesian Back Analysis Theory by Chongshi Gu, Xin Cao, Bo Xu

“…In view of the uncertain characteristics of concrete dams, a stochastic inverse model is proposed in this study to solve the undetermined mechanical parameters with sequential and spatial randomness using measured displacement data and Bayesian back analysis theory. An inversion method for the mechanical parameters of concrete dams is proposed. …”
