Environmental context. Uranium-phosphate minerals have been identified as a long-term controlling phase that limit the mobility of uranium to groundwater in many contaminated subsurface environments. Complex, coupled processes confound the ability to isolate the rates attributed to individual processes. Results of this investigation provide the necessary information to refine current prediction on the release and long-term fate of uranium in subsurface environments. Abstract. The purpose of this investigation was to conduct a series of single-pass flow-through (SPFT) tests to (1) quantify the effect of temperature (23–90°C) and pH (6–10) on meta-torbernite dissolution; (2) compare the dissolution of meta-torbernite to other autunite-group minerals; and (3) evaluate the effect of aqueous phosphate on the dissolution kinetics of meta-torbernite. Results presented here illustrate meta-torbernite dissolution rates increase by ~100× over the pH interval of 6 to 10, irrespective of temperature. The power law coefficient for meta-torbernite, η = 0.59 ± 0.07, is greater than that quantified for Ca-meta-autunite, η = 0.42 ± 0.12. This suggests the stability of meta-torbernite is greater than that of meta-autunite, which is reflected in the predicted stability constants. The rate equation for the dissolution of meta-torbernite as a function of aqueous phosphate concentration is log rdissol (mol m–2 s–1) = –4.7 × 10–13 + 4.1 × 10–10[PO43–].

Lower Deck

An initial assessment program was implemented for the lower deck of the Centre Street Bridge in Calgary. The program was designed so that the short-term behaviour of both the glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) and steel reinforcements used in the lower deck, and their respective spans, could be compared. The monitoring provided useful information for verifying GFRP reinforcement design performance, and also raised challenging questions as to how the spans actually behave under thermal loading. Results indicated very little difference in the performances of the spans or their reinforcements over the three year monitoring period. Instrumentation and data acquisition systems are described herein, and representative data are presented. This project allowed the authors to develop some guidance criteria vis-à-vis structural health monitoring (SHM) requirements. During the latter stages of the monitoring program, the lower deck monitoring system was considered for its potential as a long-term SHM program, but on evaluation was found to have features that made it unsuitable for SHM purposes.

Abstract A maintenance concept of performance based maintenance (PBM) has been proposed by the current author. According to the PBM concept, inspection results are considered in determining the next inspection schedule. In this study, this concept was applied to fatigue degradation for stainless steel components in the pressurized water reactor (PWR) primary water environment. It is possible to estimate the fatigue life for the PWR water environment from that obtained in an air environment and the parameter Fen, which represents the ratio of the fatigue life in the air and PWR water environments. It was shown that the fatigue life prediction using Fen can be replaced by the crack growth analysis using the growth rate for the PWR water environment. Then, the crack growth was predicted for a thermal loading assuming the growth occurred in the PWR water environment. It was shown that the duration until the next inspection could be optimized based on the inspection results together with the crack growth curve. A long term operation before the inspection resulted in a longer duration until the next inspection.

AbstractExamples of the application of natural-analog studies to the estimation of the consequences of a volcanic eruption penetrating a radioactive waste repository are given, including the criteria for analog selection and new data from ongoing studies. Examples of early modeling results focusing on the spatial and temporal scale of subsurface processes are also provided. All of these examples are taken from studies of the potential Yucca Mountain repository, Nevada, but similar approaches could be applied in other areas. In addition, studies of subsurface processes initiated by magmatic events serve as useful analogs for repository thermal loading studies.

The purpose of the current study is to provide a monitoring scheme for evaluating the reliability of drilling of electronic circuit board (ECB) made of FR4 composite materials. The ECB is a laminated mechanical structure. Delamination often occurs at the hole exit during drilling. The resulted delamination deteriorates the long-term performance of the ECB when subject to mechanical and/or thermal loading. Acoustic emission can monitor the extent of this damage. A linear relationship exists between the size of delamination and the energy level of emitted signal when the proposed signal processing technique is used. The results contribute to higher quality ECB’s and can be applied in the manufacturing stage in an automated manner.

Random Fluctuations

Microbial growth and division are fundamental processes relevant to many areas of life science. Of particular interest are homeostasis mechanisms, which buffer growth and division from accumulating random fluctuations. This classic problem has seen recent advance in both theory and experiments, but still much remains unclear and debatable. Because there are many coupled processes inside the cell, it is not a-priori clear which variables are under regulation and which are stabilize by their coupling to regulated variables. Here, we address this question by distentangling homeostatic set-points -- estimated as temporal averages across individual lineages -- from fluctuations around them. Applying variance decomposition to individually trapped bacteria (mother machine data), we find that phenotypic variables estimated from cell-size measurements (inter-division time, growth rate, added size and more), exhibit a range of different behaviors. Some have flexible set-points that vary significantly between lineages - "sloppy" variables, while others are tightly fixed - "stiff" variables. Analyzing pairs of trapped lineages (sisters machine data), reveals that the primary source of sloppiness is a high sensitivity to the trap environment, while lineage-specific factors contribute only a small fraction. We find strong long-term correlations between sloppy set-points, and identify a control manifold in the space of growth and division variables. Cell size is a sloppy variable, whose set-point is uncoupled to growth variables; such correlations appear only on the short, single-cycle timescale. We discuss these results in light of recent models of cell size control, and point to new avenues of research.
