Model Uncertainty of Empirical Metallic Fuel/Clad Eutectic Predictive Relationships
No full textSodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs) remain a strong contender amongst the Generation IV reactor concepts. Many U.S. SFR designs utilize binary or ternary metallic fuel with stainless steel cladding. At high temperatures, iron from the cladding will diffuse into the fuel, and uranium, plutonium and rare earth fission products from the fuel will diffuse into the cladding to form a low melting point fuel/clad eutectic. The erosion of the cladding due to this eutectic formation may accelerate creep rupture, thus allowing the radioactive fission products to escape into the sodium coolant. Accurate modeling of this phenomenon may be important to making the SFR more economically competitive, but currently the eutectic formation rate is predicted using only the temperature of the fuel/clad interface. This paper improves the modeling accuracy of eutectic formation through the application of a multivariable linear regression with a database of fuel/clad eutectic experimental result

10-metre Contours Across the Denman Glacier Region
No full textProgress Code: completedStatement: For details on the quality and accuracy of the data please refer to Howat, Ian, et al., 2022, “The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica – Mosaics, Version 2”, https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/EBW8UC, Harvard Dataverse, V1, [Date Accessed].<b>Purpose</b><br/>This data was created to support project planning in the Denman Glacier region.This dataset consists of 10-metre-interval contours in proximity to Denman Glacier. The contours were derived from the REMA 2 (Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica version 2) 10-metre mosaic digital elevation model. Features were produced using the ArcGIS Pro Contour tool with default settings. Contour generation was limited to a region extending from approximately 97°E to 104°E and 65°S to 68°S. The contours have not been edited or post-processed. This data is stored in the AAD's relief ln enterprise dataset

No full textStructural diversity of Sn(II) phosphine oxide complexes with weakly coordinating anions and comparisons with related Ge(II) and Pb(II) species
No full textA series of tin(II) triflate phosphine oxide complexes has been prepared from the reaction of Sn(OTf)2 (OTf− = [O3SCF3]−) with various ratios of OPPh3, OPMe3 or dppmO2 (dppmO2 = Ph2(O)PCH2P(O)Ph2). The complexes [Sn(OPPh3)n][OTf]2 (n = 2, 3 or 4), [Sn(OPMe3)n][OTf]2 (n = 2 or 3) and [Sn(dppmO2)n][OTf]2 (n = 1 or 2) have been isolated in moderate to good yields. Selected germanium(II) and lead(II) analogues have been made for comparison, namely [Ge(OPPh3)n][OTf]2 (n = 2 or 3) and [Pb(OPR3)4][OTf]2 (R = Me, Ph). The effect of changing the weakly coordinating OTf− anion for the non-coordinating [BArF]− anion was investigated through anion metathesis, furnishing the complexes [Sn(OPPh3)n][BArF]2 (n = 3 or 4) and [Ge(OPPh3)3][BArF]2. The isolated solids were characterised by 1H, 19F{1H}, 31P{1H} and IR spectroscopy and microanalysis. Crystal structures were obtained for all complexes except [Ge(OPPh3)2][OTf]2 and [Sn(OPPh3)3][BArF]2, allowing comparisons of the structural features of these divalent group 14 complexes down the group and as a function of coordination number, ligand sterics and electronics.</p
Vulnerability of Denman Glacier to Ocean Heat Flux Revealed by Profiling Float Observations
No full textAbstract Denman Glacier, which drains a marine‐based sector of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet with an ice volume equivalent to 1.5 m of global sea level rise, has accelerated and undergone grounding line retreat in recent decades. A deep trough and retrograde bed slope inward of the grounding line leave this glacier prone to marine ice sheet instability. The ocean heat flux to the ice shelf cavity is a critical factor determining the susceptibility of the glacier to unstable retreat. Profiling float observations show modified Circumpolar Deep Water as warm as −0.16°C reaches a deep trough extending beneath the Denman Ice Tongue. The ocean heat transport (0.77 ± 0.35 TW) is sufficient to drive high rates of basal melt (70.8 ± 31.5 Gt y−1), consistent with rates inferred from glaciological observations. These results suggest the Denman Glacier is potentially at risk of unstable retreat triggered by transport of warm water to the ice shelf cavity

Agent Angus by K.L. Denman
No full textDenman, K.L. Agent Angus. Victoria: Orca Book Publishers, 2012. Print. An Orca Currents book for reluctant middle school readers, the story follows Angus and his best friend Shahid on their mission to solve a mysterious theft. Canadian author K.L. Denman writes in her usual first-person narrative style with characteristic elements of mystery, science and romance. The story takes place at a school where a stink bomb incident has led to all the students gathering on the front lawn. Right from the book’s introduction (“I’m not a lucky guy. Today luck has chosen to place me next to the one and only Ella Eckles”), readers are taken inside Angus’ head and will be rooting for him along the way. When his crush’s cherished sketchbook goes missing, Angus poses as a mentalist who can solve the crime by reading people. He ‘proves’ his abilities to Ella by pointing out the shifty stink bomb perpetrator right before he is nabbed by the principal. Humorous elements run throughout such as when the boys consider various spy devices (Gordon the ‘too obvious’ robot, a rocket pack launched from a plane, pricey video cameras hidden in smiley face buttons or baseball hats which are not allowed in school, and affordable but oversized rear view sunglasses). Suspense builds as the various suspects are considered. Is the thief their fellow classmate, their art teacher or someone they least suspected? And what could their motive be? This quick read full of spying and intrigue will have readers flipping pages to solve the mystery of the sketchbook and find out if Angus will finally confront the truth. The fluid writing style with varying sentence lengths adds to the drama and pace of the story. This light-hearted story makes a great choice for reluctant readers but lacks deep meaning. It may not appeal to readers who are looking to be challenged. Those looking for a light, easy read will find it enjoyable.Recommended: 3 out of 4 stars Reviewer: Lori Williams Lori Williams has been teaching at Forest Grove School in British Columbia for the past 6 years and feels lucky to be part of a wonderful team of colleagues and students.

A Sociophonetic Study of the French [R]: Socioeconomic Factors Reflected in Linguistic Variation
No full textHumanities: 3rd Place (The Ohio State University Denman Undergraduate Research Forum)/R/ sounds display much variation in many of the world’s languages, being vulnerable to changes in their pronunciation. This unstable type of sound is found in French. Many linguists have studied the /R/ sound variation of different dialects around the Francophone world, such as French-speaking Africa or Canadian French. However, the variation found within France has not been thoroughly investigated. I initiated this research with the aim to further our understanding of the linguistic evolution of speakers living in France. This project seeks to prove that differences in /R/ pronunciation can be attributed to various social factors, such as gender, age, and contact with other languages, as well as linguistic factors such as stress and surrounding sounds. This study analyzes the speech of Paris-native speakers or those who have lived in the city for an extended period of time. For this purpose, I recorded these speakers performing three tasks: reading a list of words, which they had to put into sentences; a picture description; and an informal interview. After having analyzed most of the data, I have found that the speakers who have contact with other languages (specifically African creoles) show cases of pronouncing the /R/ similar to a vowel and have cases of trills (the Old French pronunciation), which are not found in the other speakers. In addition, the younger speakers show signs of exposure to a more recent phenomenon: a weakening of the sound. These results suggest that the behavior of French speakers in France is different from other dialects since they display an evolution in their language in which the French /R/ is shifting to a completely different sound. These findings shed light on the origin of language changes in Standard French, Paris, and help us predict when French speakers can expect an upcoming linguistic phenomenon.The Ohio State University Office of International AffairsThe Ohio State University College of Arts and SciencesThe Ohio State University College of HumanitiesThe Ohio State University Department of French and ItalianAcademic Major: Frenc
