Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of the Maximum Fuel Temperature under Accident Condition of HTR-PM by Chen Hao, Peijun Li, Ding She, Xiaoyu Zhou, Rongrui Yang

“…Then, the DLOFC thermal analyses and uncertainty analysis are performed with the home-developed ATHENA and CUSA. The numerical results indicate that the pebble-bed effective conductivity and the decay heat contribute the most of the uncertainty in the DLOFC maximum fuel temperature while this peak fuel temperature is most sensitive to the initial reactor power and the decay heat. …”

CONSUMER VIEW ON THE AXIS OF DIDEROT EFFECT AND UNPLANNED PURCHASE by Sabiha Kılıç, Kübra Müge Çakaröz, Funda Civek

“…People's shopping habits are changing day by day.Consumers' point of view towards the product has turned into an emotional quality rather than a material quality.Emotional consumers pay attention that their products are compatible with each other.This situation triggers the Diderot Effect in consumers.With this feeling,the consumer displays a continuous buying behavior.It directs the consumer,acting with the domino effect logic,to unplanned purchases.When consumers buy an initial product,they start to think that they also need other products with the logic of induction.In order to finalize this situation, they tend to buy complementary products.This instinctive desire for integrity is described as the Diderot Effect.The aim of the study is to examine the Diderot Impact Levels and Unplanned Buying trends of the consumers.The research data were obtained through a survey applied on social media.In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, percentage and frequency,ANOVA and Chi-Square analysis were used.The reliability of the scales used in the study was tested with the Cronbach Alpha method, and the scales were found to be "High Reliability".As a result of the analysis,it was determined that there was a relationship between the unplanned purchasing behavior of the consumers and the Diderot effect levels and that the consumers purchased other products that were complementary to the products they purchased, therefore they were under the influence of diderot.…”
