Study on Detailed Calculation and Experiment Methods of Neutronics, Fuel Materials, and Thermal Hydraulics for a Commercial Type Japanese Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor by Toshikazu Takeda, W. F. G. van Rooijen, Katsuhisa Yamaguchi, Masayoshi Uno, Yuji Arita, Hiroyasu Mochizuki

“…An example is the presence of an inner duct in the fuel assemblies. Therefore, we have developed new calculational and experimental methods in three areas: (1) for neutronics, we discuss the development of methods and codes to model advanced FBR fuel subassemblies, (2) for fuel materials, modeling and measurement of the thermal conductivity of annular fuel is discussed, and (3) for thermal hydraulics, we describe advances in modeling and calculational models for the intermediate heat exchanger and the calculational treatment of thermal stratification in the hot plenum of an FBR under low flow conditions. …”

An Improved Car-Following Speed Model considering Speed of the Lead Vehicle, Vehicle Spacing, and Driver’s Sensitivity to Them by Shuaiyang Jiao, Shengrui Zhang, Zongzhi Li, Bei Zhou, Dan Zhao

“…This paper introduces an improved car-following speed (CFS) model that simultaneously considers speed of the lead vehicle, vehicle spacing, and driver’s sensitivity to them. Specifically, the proposed model extends the Helbing-Tilch model and Yang et al. model developed based on the principle of grey relational analysis where vehicle spacing is considered as the primary factor contributing to car-following speed choices. …”

Pour une théorie de l’éditorialisation by Marcello Vitali-Rosati

“…Philosophy tries to take into account the same universality: beyond any disciplinary specificity, the philosophical questioning aims to understand a phenomenon or a fact in all its implications.This paper starts from the concept of editorialisation to propose a philosophical theory of the world in the digital age. A philosophy therefore not “of the digital turn”, because the object of philosophy can only be universal, but rather a philosophy “in the digital age”.…”
