CFD Recombiner Modelling and Validation on the H2-Par and Kali-H2 Experiments by Stéphane Mimouni, Namane Mechitoua, Mehdi Ouraou

“…In order to prevent mechanical loads resulting from a possible conflagration of the gas mixture, French and German reactor containments are equipped with passive autocatalytic recombiners (PARs) which preventively oxidize hydrogen for concentrations lower than that of the flammability limit. The objective of the paper is to present numerical assessments of the recombiner models implemented in CFD solvers NEPTUNE_CFD and Code_Saturne. …”

Ammonia-Assimilating Bacteria Promote Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i>) Growth and Nitrogen Utilization by Yuqian Gao, Qi Zhang, Yuannan Chen, Yanqing Yang, Chenxiao Zhou, Jiayang Yu, Yanan Li, Liyou Qiu

“…However, root GS, GOGAT enzyme activities, and ammonia assimilation-related gene expressions were lower than the controls. The results suggest that the ammonia-assimilating bacterium promotes wheat growth, nitrogen accumulation, and soil nitrogen immobilization by establishing an ammonia and amino acid exchange with roots and enhancing root antioxidant capacity, making it a potential plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).…”

Optimizing cohousing: The effect of community size on common space utilization and organizational sustainability by Milošević-Pantović Aleksandra

“…The hypothesis suggests that there is an inverse correlation between community size and the percentage of common areas relative to the total surface area, meaning that larger communities have a lower percentage of common areas. The research methodology includes a review and analysis of housing community examples from various cultural and urban contexts, aiming to identify key factors that influence the organizational structures and economic sustainability of these communities. …”
