On Some Fundamental Peculiarities of the Traveling Wave Reactor by V. D. Rusov, V. A. Tarasov, I. V. Sharph, V. N. Vashchenko, E. P. Linnik, T. N. Zelentsova, M. E. Beglaryan, S. A. Chernegenko, S. I. Kosenko, V. P. Smolyar

“…On the basis of the condition for nuclear burning wave existence in the neutron-multiplying media (U-Pu and Th-U cycles) we show the possibility of surmounting the so-called dpa-parameter problem and suggest an algorithm of the optimal nuclear burning wave mode adjustment, which is supposed to yield the wave parameters (fluence/neutron flux, width and speed of nuclear burning wave) that satisfy the dpa-condition associated with the tolerable level of the reactor materials radioactive stability, in particular that of the cladding materials. …”

The modulating effect of circulating carbohydrate antigen 125 on ST2 and long-term recurrent morbidity burden by Elena Revuelta-López, Rafael de la Espriella, Gema Miñana, Enrique Santas, Sandra Villar, Juan Sanchis, Antoni Bayés-Genís, Julio Núñez

“…Cox regression analyses assessed the association between admission sST2 and endpoints across CA125 (≤ 35 vs. > 35 U/ml). This sub-study of the IMPROVE-HF trial shows that sST2 predicted the composite of cardiovascular or renal rehospitalizations when CA125 was elevated (> 35 U/ml) but not when CA125 ≤ 35 U/ml. …”
