A New Reactivity Control Approach for Circulating Fuel Reactors
No full textMolten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear power systems conceived to be working with a circulating salt-mixture, acting simultaneously as fuel and as coolant, providing safety and sustainability enhancements, other then improvements in the fuel cycle closure. The presence of a circulating fuel features not only the possibility of a continuous Fission Products (FPs) removal, but implies also the chance to perform tailored intervention on the fuel isotopic composition, adjusting the mixture as needed. These peculiarities prevent the adoption of commonly available simulation tools, which are designed for solid-fuelled reactors and lack in general the possibility to account for mass exchange processes within burn-up calculations.
To overcome these limitations, a Serpent-2 extension is presented to couple depletion calculations and material transfer, thus featuring the capability to simulate FPs removal and continuous composition adjustments for both reactivity and eutectic control in MSR. The reactivity control is implemented with a new strategy allowing the independence from the chosen fuel treatment strategy and a limited impact on both the system mass and the eutectic proportions. The new implemented functionalities are verified and proven to work correctly, while the new reactivity control strategy is compared to an alternative one from previous studies, proving the superior performances of the new proposal
The role of educative thought in the life and work of Antonio Gramsci
No full textMany philosophers have propounded a vision of an improved society, what distinguishes Antonio Gramsci is his continuous effort to make it happen by understanding the process in order to put into practice. Gramsci's conviction about the importance of educative development came from both theory and experience. While there has been considerable examination of Gramsci's work in relation to the Prison Notebooks, this study will seek to address a lacuna in Gramsci scholarship. Using Gramsci's philological method, I analyse Gramsci's pre-prison activity; his pre-prison articles and letters, which, together with his letters from prison, formed part of his educative mission. This educative process was necessary, in order to construct a new party which would develop a collective will, collaboratively, with the masses.In this study therefore, I explore the contexts and formative experiences of the first part of his life together with the intellectual sources from which Gramsci developed his later theories, making central hitherto underemphasised connections between them which informed his writing and ideas. I intend to illustrate that Gramsci's underlying purpose in his writing, and political activity, was not only practical, on how to create a new socialist ruling class, but also educative in forming the mindset and values of his comrades. So that in addition to outlining his vision of a new order, he implicitly guided or explicitly explained the processes by which the necessary changes in social relations and moral climate could be made in order to achieve it. Each person had to engage with the values of the new order so that each could contribute to the construction of a new robust state. It was essential to build a hegemony at the most profound level, one which was dependent on collective understandings and a collective will
Exploiting neurovascular coupling: a Bayesian sequential Monte Carlo approach applied to simulated EEG fNIRS data
No full textElectrical and hemodynamic brain activity are linked through the neurovascular coupling process and they can be simultaneously measured through integration of electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Thanks to the lack of electro-optical interference, the two procedures can be easily combined and, whereas EEG provides electrophysiological information, fNIRS can provide measurements of two hemodynamic variables, such as oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. A Bayesian sequential Monte Carlo approach (particle filter, PF) was applied to simulated recordings of electrical and neurovascular mediated hemodynamic activity, and the advantages of a unified framework were shown
An approach to support Industry 4.0 adoption in SMEs using a core-metamodel
No full textDespite the recent growing interest in the “factory smartness”, still there are only few small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that adopt effective Industry 4.0 (I4.0) solutions. The main reasons can be related to the lack of formalized processes, lack of ICT knowledgeas well as low-cost commercial systems.To cope with these issues, this work focuses on the development and the application of an approach to provide SMEs with a multi-purpose, modular, knowledge-based system: the main aim is to provide a modular and extensible system that can be incrementally implemented without requiring huge initial investments.This system is based on a core design-knowledge meta-model. From this core meta-model, multi-purposes modules can be built: in this paper, we present modules for the traceability support, the AR-powered assembly support, the machine-to-machine control and the data analysis support

Antonio Rosminis Principles of moral science: translation of an Italian philosophical work to Portuguese
No full textEste trabalho se compõe de duas partes. Primeiramente, um estudo introdutório sobre o autor, Antonio Rosmini, sobre sua obra filosófica e, mais especificamente, sobre o livro Principi della scienza morale, que, na segunda parte, traduzimos para o português. Na introdução, expomos brevemente o sistema filosófico rosminiano e o contextualizamos no âmbito histórico-filosófico. Além disso, apresentamos o percurso por nós desenvolvido para obter uma tradução filologicamente correta do texto original, incluindo um breve glossário dos termos filosóficos empregados pelo autor.This work is composed of two parts. Firstly, there is an introductoty study on the author, Antonio Rosmini, on his phylosophical system and, more specifically, on the book Principi della scienza morale, which we have translated to Portuguese, in the second part. In the introduction, we expose briefly the rosminian phylosofical system and we place it in its historical-phylosofical context. Furthermore, we show the path weve followed to reach a phylologically correct translation from the original text, including a brief glossary of phylosophical terms employed by the author
