An adjustable core assembly for a nuclear reactor is disclosed herein. The adjustable core can include a plurality of reactivity control cells configured to accommodate a reactivity control rod, and a plurality of unit cells. The plurality of unit cells defines a radial dimension corresponding to an initial power output of the core. Each unit cell of the plurality of unit cells is configured to accommodate fuel configured to generate energy and a heat pipe configured to transfer thermal energy away from the core. Each unit cell of the plurality unit cells can be coupled to an adjacent unit cell in a radial direction, thereby altering the radial dimension, wherein the altered radial dimension corresponds to an adjusted power output of the core, and wherein the adjusted power output of the core is different than the initial power output of the core.

A method to form images of internal parts of objects that are of such a nature that images are smeared out due to scattering. The method consists in using isolated beams of radiation along specific, chosen directions, then separating radiation that have not suffered scattering events, from the radiation that have suffered scattering events. The directions may be fixed either by having a multiplicity of radiation emitters along several directions or by moving one or more radiation emitter, or a combination of these. Collimators may also be used to select the direction of radiation propagation. The invention also discloses transparent windows pressed against the object, which serves to keep the incident radiation along a known direction. The radiation that suffered scattering may be also used to make a separate images of the internal parts of the object.

The disclosure aligns a processing laser beam and a measurement laser beam coaxially, and directs the processing laser beam and the measurement laser beam respectively onto the metal powder and melt pool surface for manufacturing and measuring the 3D of melt pool. A light beam is formed by the reference laser beam interfered with the measurement laser beam reflected by the melt pool, and is directed to the image acquisition unit to obtain an interference image of the melt pool surface. The contour accuracy was proved to be 15 nm under case of lateral resolution of 15.63 μm by the resolution board. The experiment of 3D melt pool was performed. This disclosure enables in-situ measurement of the 3D morphology of the melt pool during additive manufacturing. The disclosure is to incorporate a filter to eliminate high-temperature thermal radiation emitted from the melt pool, significantly enhancing the accuracy of morphology measurements.

Provided is a recombinant promoter system specifically inducing gene expression after T cell activation. Also provided is a new T cell activation-induced recombinant promoter constructed by modifying and optimizing GM-CSF, IFNg and IL2 promoters. When CAR-T cells are activated, the recombinant promoter can efficiently induce the expression of downstream genes, with the activity thereof being superior to that of a traditional NFAT-responsive promoter constructed based on a binding sequence of a nuclear factor of activated T cells. Further provided are a CAR-T cell comprising the T cell activation-induced recombinant promoter and the use thereof.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to hydrogenated functionalized polymers produced from the steps of: producing a living polymer from the anionic polymerization of a conjugated diolefin monomer in the presence of a solvent; producing a functionalized polymer by reacting the living polymer with at least one silane modifier; adding an antioxidant to the functionalized polymer in the solvent; and producing the hydrogenated functionalized polymer by hydrogenating the functionalized polymer in the solvent in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst. The antioxidant does not inhibit the hydrogenation catalyst such that the hydrogenated functionalized polymer has a degree of hydrogenation of greater than or equal to about 75 mol%, as measured using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H NMR).

An active thermal switch assembly according to aspects described herein may include a hot plate, a cold plate, and an actuator. The actuator may cause the hot plate and the cold plate to come into mechanical contact, thereby achieving a closed state for the active thermal switch and facilitating conductive heat transfer between the two plates. Convective/radiative heat transfer may have little effect as compared to conductive heat transfer (e.g., as may be the case in environments having reduced or no atmospheric pressure), such that operating the actuator to introduce a gap between the hot plate and the cold plate (thus achieving an "open" state) substantially reduces conductive heat transfer between the hot and cold plates accordingly. Controlling the separation distance between the hot plate and cold plate may also be used as a method to modulate the thermal radiation between the two surfaces.
