The Balance between Life and Death of Cells: Roles of Metallothioneins

Metallothionein (MT) is a highly conserved, low-molecular-weight, cysteine-rich protein that occurs in 4 isoforms (MT-I to MT-IV), of which MT-I+II are the major and best characterized proteins

Realocação do Núcleo do Reator Nuclear após Derretimento e Unidades de Contenção do Núcleo

Nuclear meltdown with the potential human and environmental harm is one of the major accident hazard (MAH) faced by nuclear power plants. Limiting (or entirely avoiding) criticality events are the main design strategies for reactors of generations 3½ and 4 (Gen3½ and Gen4). These include ensuring negative void and negative temperature coefficients (for both moderator and fuel) regardless of operational conditions, which provide a self-regulating mechanism that helps preventing accidents occurrence (i.e., to address safety and reliability aspects of Gen4’s goals). However, in severe accident scenarios (e.g. during loss-of-coolant, LOCA, events) where failure to extract heat from the reactor may lead to core degradation, strategies to mitigate reactor meltdown and relocation are critical in the design of safety protocols. This work aims to numerically investigate core relocation as an integrated multi-fluid and heat dynamics problem in which flow of melted materials (UO2, Zircaloy and graphite) are modelled through interface capturing/tracking methods. Two interface tracking/capturing methods were compared, the level-set volume of fluid method (VOF) in Ansys Fluent, and the compressive advection method (CAM) in Fluidity/ICFERST. Both methods are in good agreement for the core relocation simulation. An in-vessel core catcher (IVCC) of tungsten alloy was also proposed to demonstrate core degradation control strategy through cooling of the melted multi-materials. The IVCC was simulated with a multifluid model in Ansys Fluent, in a specified applied heat flux model. The thickness of the IVCC is 0.20 m and the heat flux used is 600 kW m-2. The tungsten material used was able to withstand both thermal and mechanical loads on the lower plenum by extracting decay heat from the corium.O derretimento nuclear, com potencial danos humanos e ambientais, é um dos principais acidentes graves em usinas nucleares. Limitar (ou mesmo evitar) eventos críticos são as principais estratégias no design de reatores das gerações 3½ e 4 (Gen3½ e Gen4). Isso inclui garantir coeficientes de reatividade (de temperatura e de vazio) negativos (para ambos, moderador e o combustível) independentemente das condições operacionais. Este é um mecanismo de auto- regulação para prevenir a ocorrência de acidentes (ou seja, para abordar aspectos de segurança e confiabilidade dos objetivos do Gen4). No entanto, em cenários de acidentes graves (por exemplo, durante eventos de perda de fluido refrigerante, LOCA), onde a falha na extração de calor do reator pode levar à degradação do núcleo, estratégias para mitigar o derretimento e a realocação do reator são críticas na concepção de protocolos de segurança. Este trabalho visa investigar numericamente a realocação do núcleo como um problema integrado de dinâmica multifluido e térmica em que o fluxo de materiais derretidos (UO2, Zircaloy e grafite) é modelado através de métodos de captura/rastreamento de interface. Dois métodos de rastreamento/captura de interface foram comparados, o método de volume de fluido (VOF, no CFD ANSYS Fluent) e o método de advecção compressiva (CAM, no CFD Fluidity/ICFERST). Ambos os métodos estão em bom acordo para o estudo de caso de realocação do núcleo. Também foi proposto uma unidade de contenção do núcleo (IVCC) composta de uma liga de tungstênio para demonstrar a estratégia de controle da degradação do núcleo através do resfriamento dos materiais. O IVCC foi simulado com um modelo multifluido com fluxo de calor especificado. A espessura do IVCC é de 0.20 m e o fluxo de calor utilizado é de 600 kW m-2. O material de tungstênio utilizado foi capaz de suportar as cargas térmicas e mecânicas no plénum inferior extraindo o calor residual do corium

L'Antigone dans la littérature slovéne: situation ou héroine?

Après Ajax (en 1863) et Oedipe àColone (en 1892), Antigone est .la troi­ sìeme tragédie de Sophocle traduite en slovène. En 1912, elle fut mise en scène par le Théâtre national slovène de Ljubljana dans une traduction de Cvetko Golar, cette dernière n'étant publiée que plus tard, en 1924, dans une version assez changée. Le thème d'Antigone, ce mythe littéraire créé par Sophocle, n'émergea pouvtant dans la littérature slovène qu'en 1939 ·lorsque Miran Jarc (1900-1942) publia un texte dramatique plutôt court Antigone de village. Fragment de tragedie. Jarc n'a jamais écrit la tragédie intégrale et, probablement, il n'ava:it même pas l'intention de le faire, ce ˝fragment˝ à la dénomination assez vague, restant done la seule pavtie existante de cette  tragédie

Cosmology of the Spirit. An attempt to give a basic outline of the objective role of thinking matter in the system of universal interaction (A Philosophical-Poetic Phantasmagoria based on the principles of dialectical materialism). Transl. Krystian Szadkowski

Kosmologia ducha została napisana przez Ewalda Iljenkowa w latach pięćdziesiątych, ale opublikowana zostało dopiero po śmierci autora pod koniec lat osiemdziesiątych, ponieważ była tekstem zbyt heretyckim, aby mógł się ukazać za życia filozofa. Heretyckim nie z powodu jego „dysydenckiego” charakteru czy krytycyzmu wobec Związku Radzickiego, lecz z powodu jego niezwykle spekulatywnej i hipotetycznej natury. Iljenkow odwołując się do fizycznej idei „śmierci cieplnej wszechświata” oraz do nieszablonowego zestawienia Heglowskiej dialektyki z pojęciem atrybutu u Spinozy stwierdza, że myśl stanowi konieczny atrybut materii, ponieważ zdolna jest powstrzymać entropię zmierzającą do ostatecznego upadku.Evald Ilyenkov’s “Cosmology of the Spirit” was written in the 1950s, but published posthumously only at the end of 1980s as it was too heretical to be published during the author’s lifetime. The text was heretical not because it was “dissident” or critical of the Soviet Union where the philosopher lived all his life, but because of its enormously speculative and hypothetical nature. Addressing the physicist idea of the “thermal death of the universe,” and creating an original combination of the Hegelian dialectics and Spinoza’s notion of the attribute, Ilyenkov claims that thought (and the seemingly contingent emergence of “thinking life”) is a necessary attribute of matter, as it is able to prevent the terminal entropic collapse
