EQUATION OF STATE FOR HE BUBBLES IN W AND MODEL OF HE BUBBLE GROWTH AND BURSTING NEAR W{100} SURFACES DERIVED FROM MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS

Equation of state for He bubbles in W and model of He bubble growth and bursting near W{100} surfaces derived from molecular dynamics simulations

Abstract Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to derive an equation of state (EOS) for helium (He) bubbles in tungsten (W) and to study the growth of He bubbles under a W(100) surface until they burst.We study the growth as a function of the initial nucleation depth of the bubbles.During growth, successive loop-punching events are obse

Associational susceptibility of crop plants caused by the invasive weed Canadian goldenrod, Solidago canadensis, via local aphid species

In the present study, field surveys were conducted to detect potential associational susceptibility of crop plants (potato, alfalfa and maize) caused by Canadian goldenrod, Solidago canadensis (L.), one of the most common invasive weeds in Central and Eastern Europe, via plant associated virus vectoring aphids.Assessments were made in two major agr

Epidemiology of cardiovascular malformations among newborns in Monchegorsk (north-west Russia): a register-based study

Background.Cardiovascular malformations Round Basket (CVM) are one of the most prevalent groups of birth defects.Knowledge about the prevalence, distribution and survival in Russia has been limited.The aim of our study was to assess the perinatal prevalence, structure and risk factors for CVM among newborns in Monchegorsk (Murmansk Oblast, Russia)
