Development of a Coupled Code for Steady-State Analysis of the Graphite-Moderated Channel Type Molten Salt Reactor by Long He, Cheng-Gang Yu, Wei Guo, Ye Dai, Hai-Ling Wang, Xiang-Zhou Cai

“…Then, the mass flow distribution, temperature field, keff, and power density distribution for a conceptual design of the 2MWt experimental molten salt reactor are calculated and analyzed by the coupled code under both normal operating situation and the central fuel assembly partly blocked situation. The simulated results are conductive to facilitate the understanding of the steady behavior of the graphite-moderated channel type MSR.…”

Oxidation combined with Maillard reaction induced free and protein-bound Nε-carboxymethyllysine and Nε-carboxyethyllysine formation during braised chicken processing by Zongshuai Zhu, Rui Fang, Ming Huang, Yunji Wei, Guanghong Zhou

“…Frying promoted the formation of lysine (Lys), glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO) (P < 0.05); Boiling enhanced the formation of GO and MGO (P < 0.05) while inhibited the levels of Lys (P < 0.05); Sterilizing blocked the formation of MGO and Lys (P < 0.01) but improved GO levels (P < 0.05). …”

O profesjonalizacji nauczyciela świetlicy – refleksja nad instytucjonalną codziennością by Danuta Urbaniak-Zając

“…As the subject literature notes a tendency to perceive institutional conditions as familiar and self-evident, this excludes them from the field of reflection and blocks efforts to consciously change them. On the one hand, the research results have a practical significance; they can be used in the academic training of pedagogues, as they make the conditions of future professional work more concrete (they reduce the abstractness of the content conveyed). …”
