Engagement opportunities in OECD NEA benchmark development

A myriad of opportunities is available to collaborate via international benchmark exercises and experimental data preservation activities. Many such opportunities abound under the auspices of the Nuclear Science Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA). Key projects and activities of relevance to the development of advanced reactors design include the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP), the International Reactor Physics Experiment Evaluation Project (IRPhEP), the International Assay Data of Spent Nuclear Fuel Database (SFCOMPO), the Shielding Integral Benchmark and Archive Database (SINBAD), and The International Experimental Thermal HYdraulicS Database (TIETHYS), and various cooperative benchmark exercises. Interested participants are encouraged to contact the leadership and secretariat of the various Technical Working Groups and Working Parties to become more engaged. This paper provides a summary of the current benchmark exercises and experimental databases available for international participation.

Observation and modeling of compressional Pi 3 magnetic pulsations

Compressional magnetic pulsations with irregular waveforms and periods longer than 150 s (here termed Pi 3) have been studied by using data from Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers Charge Composition Explorer (AMPTE/CCE) and GOES 5 and 6 in the dayside magnetosphere and compared with signatures on the ground at low latitudes by using data from Kakioka station (L = 1.25). On the ground, the pulsations appear in the horizontal component. A study of 17 such concurrent events during a 2-month period in 1986 reveals the following pulsation characteristics. (1) The peak-to-peak amplitudes in space (delta B(sub T)) and on the ground (delta H) are comparable and are in the range of 0.5-7 nT. (2) On the ground the pulsations can be seen at all local times, even at midnight, while at geostationary orbit they are observed only on the dayside with a clear amplitude maximum at noon. (3) The pulsations on the ground lag those observed by CCE near local noon, and the lag increases as the local time separation between CCE and the ground station increases. The time lag is 1-2 min longer when the ground station is on the nightside than when it is on the dayside. (4) The time lag between pulsations observed at geostationary orbit and near noon by CCE varies systematically with local time and is about 2 min per 6 hours of local time separation. These observations indicate that some nightside pulsations in the Pi 3 band have dayside origins. The position dependence of the pulsation amplitude can be explained well by changes in the magnetopause current, which are in turn presumably caused by changes in the solar wind dynamic pressure. The time lags observed in space are consistent with signal propagation in the MHD fast mode, but the variation in space-ground time lags with ground station local time must be attributed to another mechanism.

Metabolic capability and in situ activity of microorganisms in an oil reservoir

Background: Microorganisms have long been associated with oxic and anoxic degradation of hydrocarbons in oil reservoirs and oil production facilities. While we can readily determine the abundance of microorganisms in the reservoir and study their activity in the laboratory, it has been challenging to resolve what microbes are actively participating in crude oil degradation in situ and to gain insight into what metabolic pathways they deploy. Results: Here, we describe the metabolic potential and in situ activity of microbial communities obtained from the Jiangsu Oil Reservoir (China) by an integrated metagenomics and metatranscriptomics approach. Almost complete genome sequences obtained by differential binning highlight the distinct capability of different community members to degrade hydrocarbons under oxic or anoxic condition. Transcriptomic data delineate active members of the community and give insights that Acinetobacter species completely oxidize alkanes into carbon dioxide with the involvement of oxygen, and Archaeoglobus species mainly ferment alkanes to generate acetate which could be consumed by Methanosaeta species. Furthermore, nutritional requirements based on amino acid and vitamin auxotrophies suggest a complex network of interactions and dependencies among active community members that go beyond classical syntrophic exchanges; this network defines community composition and microbial ecology in oil reservoirs undergoing secondary recovery. Conclusion: Our data expand current knowledge of the metabolic potential and role in hydrocarbon metabolism of individual members of thermophilic microbial communities from an oil reservoir. The study also reveals potential metabolic exchanges based on vitamin and amino acid auxotrophies indicating the presence of complex network of interactions between microbial taxa within the community.

Radio continuum and X-ray properties of the coronae of RS Canum Venaticorum and related active binary systems

Data from circular polarization measurements are reported which yield radio-continuum and X-ray characterizations of the coronae of active binaries including RS CVn. The circular polarization measurements are taken at 6 cm for 28 binary systems detected at flux densities of more than 0.7 mJy, and the data are examined in conjunction with those by Drake et al. (1989). Optical positions are derived for 8 RS CVn objects, three previous detections are confirmed, and seven sources are shown to have circular polarization at levels of 2-13 percent. A total of 49 X-ray sources are confirmed in a total of 190 positions, and the correlation between X-ray and radio emissions is analyzed. No observational evidence exists to support the notion that radio and X-ray emissions are due to nonthermal electrons, and the data provide evidence for and against thermal gyrosynchrotron radio emission.

Investigating the Effects of Bars on Star Formation and Nuclear Activity of Galaxies Using DESI Survey Data

We present a statistical analysis of the connections between galactic bars, star formation, and active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity using 33,201 disk galaxies (0.01 < z < 0.05) from Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Data Release 1 (DESI DR1) cross-matched with Galaxy Zoo DESI. Based on morphological classifications, we identify 3508 strongly barred and 8335 weakly barred systems. We find that barred galaxies exhibit a clear bimodal distribution in color–mass space: weak bars are preferentially found in bluer, lower-mass disks, whereas strong bars are more common in massive, redder systems. Strongly barred galaxies are on average more massive and metal rich than unbarred systems. In addition, strong bars enhance central star formation rates (SFRs) in low-mass galaxies but reduce specific SFRs in massive systems, reflecting a dual role where bars initially trigger central star formation but eventually promote quenching by accelerating gas consumption. In terms of nuclear activity, barred galaxies display a higher incidence of AGN activity. The presence of a bar is also associated with an increased fraction of powerful AGN, with the highest proportions found in strongly barred systems. However, the correlations between AGN activity and detailed bar structural parameters are weak, suggesting that the link between bars and nuclear activity is indirect and regulated by multiple factors. Overall, our results support a scenario in which bars facilitate angular momentum transport and gas inflow, thereby driving central star formation and fueling supermassive black hole accretion while operating alongside other processes that shape galaxy evolution.

ACTIVE REGION MORPHOLOGIES SELECTED FROM NEAR-SIDE HELIOSEISMIC DATA

We estimate the morphology of near-side active regions using near-side helioseismology. Active regions from two data sets, Air Force Data Assimilative Photospheric flux Transport synchronic maps and Global Oscillation Network Group near-side helioseismic maps, were matched and their morphologies compared. Our algorithm recognizes 382 helioseismic active regions between 2002 April 25 and 2005 December 31 and matches them to their corresponding magnetic active regions with 100% success. A magnetic active region occupies 30% of the area of its helioseismic signature. Recovered helioseismic tilt angles are in good agreement with magnetic tilt angles. Approximately 20% of helioseismic active regions can be decomposed into leading and trailing polarity. Leading polarity components show no discernible scaling relationship, but trailing magnetic polarity components occupy approximately 25% of the area of the trailing helioseismic component. A nearside phase-magnetic calibration is in close agreement with a previous far-side helioseismic calibration and provides confidence that these morphological relationships can be used with far-side helioseismic data. Including far-side active region morphology in synchronic maps will have implications for coronal magnetic topology predictions and solar wind forecasts.

A comprehensive cost model for NASA data archiving

A simple archive cost model has been developed to help predict NASA's archiving costs. The model covers data management activities from the beginning of the mission through launch, acquisition, and support of retrospective users by the long-term archive; it is capable of determining the life cycle costs for archived data depending on how the data need to be managed to meet user requirements. The model, which currently contains 48 equations with a menu-driven user interface, is available for use on an IBM PC or AT.
