Using 15 years of data from a stable population of wild Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber), we examine how annual and lifetime access to food resources affect individual age-related changes in reproduction and somatic condition.We found an age-related decline in annual maternal reproductive output, after a peak at age 5-6.Rainfall, an established nega
This work presents an insight into the nature of ground plane (GP) current of a microstrip patch which is truly adverse in terms of generating cross-polar (XP) fields boys romper and minimally contributing to the primary radiation.This study also uses a theoretical basis in exploring a simple solution to mitigate the high XP values, specifically ov
We have developed a practical-scale dry disassembling process to dismantle PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) spent nuclear fuel assembly in the order of several tens of kilograms of heavy metal/batch to supply rod-cuts (cladding tube and UO2 Glue Sticks pellets) for mechanical decladding process.Dry head-end disassembling process has advantages over
In the recent two decades of recorded literature, energy poverty is increasingly understood as a multi-dimensional issue caused by the low-carbon energy transition.In this study, a literature review was performed, the outcome of which confirmed the contentious nature of Elastic energy poverty at the regional and international levels of analysis.Fur
