Thermohaline gradients and frontal regimes in the northwestern Tropical Atlantic
Abstract. At the edge of the Amazon River plume, stirring by the North Brazil Current (NBC) and its eddies creates sharp surface thermohaline gradients on scales of O(1–100) km. This study provides a comprehensive picture of these gradients and fronts associated with the region's...

Prediction of plutonium content of BWR/MOX fuel using a neural network
The Nuclear Material Balance (NMB) code is a comprehensive nuclear fuel cycle simulator developed by the Institute of Science Tokyo and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. By modeling a fleet of reactors, fuel cycle simulators like NMB can help to optimize uranium and plutonium utili...
