P137 REFLECTIONS REVISITED: REINTERPRETATION REQUIRED

P137 Reflections Revisited: Reinterpretation Required

Abstract Introduction Pressure waveshape derived parameters such as the augmentation index are related to unfavourable cardiovascular events [1].Wave reflections determine wave shape [2], however, several findings seem to contradict the current views.Current view.The arterial system can be modelled by a tube with a reflection site at the end: the h

Morphology and multigene phylogeny reveal three new species of Samsoniella (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales) from spiders in China

The genus Samsoniella was erected based on orange cylindrical to clavate stromata, superficial perithecia and conidiophores with Isaria-like phialides and to segregate them from the Akanthomyces group.In this study, based on morphological features and multigene (SSU, LSU, TEF, RPB1 and RPB2) phylogenetic analysis six Samsoniella species parasitizin

An iPWR MELCOR 2.2 Study on the Impact of the Modeling Parameters on Code Performance and Accident Progression

This paper presents the results of a severe accident parametric sensitivity study performed on a model of a generic integral pressurized water reactor (iPWR).The analyzed sequence is a loss of coolant accident (LOCA)-type scenario, postulating that safety systems are not available.In this work, a MELCOR 2.2 input deck of a generic iPWR was develope
