Quadrature formulas for integral equations of kinetics and digital reactimeters
(2017-08)
The aim of this work is to derive quadrature formulas for nuclear reactor kinetic equations in the form of Volterra integral equations of
the second kind and reactimeter equations in the form of integral convolution, the ...
Criteria of return on investment in nuclear energy
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
Analytical relationships between the investment performance criteria (net present value (NPV), levelized cost of electricity (LCOE),

Evaluation of effective threshold displacement energies and other data required for the calculation of advanced atomic displacement cross-sections
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
Minimum displacement threshold energy, averaged displacement threshold energy, effective displacement energy, and parameters of arc-dpa equations were estimated for 70 materials from Li to U using available experimental ...
Measurement of Fiscal Absorbing Capacity in Megacities and Analysis on Their Influence Factors—Empirical Research Based on Factor Analysis Combined with Panel Data
(Scientific Research, 2017-04)
Fiscal absorbing capacity is an essential part of national capacity, whose
shortcoming would drive local governments to raise capital through nonstandardized
channels. Thus causing a negative effect on national ...
Predicting the Entrepreneurial Intentions of University Students: Applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour in Zambia, Africa
(Scientific Research, 2017-10)
The current paper contributes to the entrepreneurial intention (EI) literature

Mitigation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Tropical Soils Amended with Poultry Manure and Sugar Cane Straw Biochars
(Scientific Research, 2017-09)
Increases in greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, upon changes in land use
and agricultural management, lead to a search for techniques that enhance
carbon residence time in soil. Pyrolysis increases the recalcitrance of ...
Flavonoid Profiles of Wild Grapes Native to Japan: Vitis coignetiae Pulliat and Vitis ficifolia Bunge var. ganebu Hatusima
(Scientific Research, 2017-03)
Flavonoids are a group of natural compounds in plants with versatile health
benefits for humans. Grapes are a dietary source of flavonoids and the flavonoid
components in grape berries can depend on the grape species and ...
