Abstract:
Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of a flexible and transparent micro-supercapacitor (MSC), using colorless polyimide (CPI) via a direct laser writing carbonization (DLWC) process. The focused laser beam directly carbonizes the CPI substrate and generates a porous carbon structure on the surface of the CPI substrate. Fluorine, which is one of the chemical compositions of CPI, can enhance the specific area and the conductivity of the carbon electrode by creating micropores in carbon structures during carbonization. Thus, the fabricated carbonized CPI-based MSC shows enhanced specific capacitance (1.20 mF at 10 mV s−1) and better transmittance (44.9%) compared to the conventional PI-based MSC. Additionally, the fabricated carbonized CPI-based MSC shows excellent cyclic performance with minimal reduction (<~10%) in 3000 cycles and high capacitance retention under mechanical bending test conditions. Due to its high flexibility, transparency, and capacitance, we expect that carbonized CPI-based MSC can be further applied to various flexible and transparent applications.

Abstract:
The socialization (So) scale of the California Psychological Inventory is based partly on a role-taking or perspective-taking theory of social deviance and partly on the pragmatics of differentiating between more socialized and less socialized individuals. The theory, history, and current applications of the scale are reviewed, relationships to other scales and measures are examined, and the validity of the scale in arraying 69 male and 40 female samples along a putative continuum of socialization is evaluated. Finally, from these findings and from analyses of observers' adjectival and Q-sort descriptions significantly related to the scale, an interpretive psychology of the measure is propounded.

Abstract:
Naturally-derived proteins or peptides are promising biopolymers for tissue engineering applications owing to their health-promoting activity. Herein, we extracted proteins (~90%) from two-spotted cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) and evaluated their osteoinductive potential in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) under in vitro conditions. The extracted protein isolate was analyzed for the amino acid composition and the mass distribution of the constituent peptide fraction. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the presence of biologically significant functional groups. The cricket protein isolate (CPI) exhibited characteristic protein peaks in the FTIR spectrum. Notably, an enhanced cell viability was observed in the presence of the extracted proteins, showing their biocompatibility. The CPI also exhibited antioxidant properties in a concentration-dependent manner. More significant mineralization was observed in the CPI-treated cells than in the control, suggesting their osteoinductive potential. The upregulation of the osteogenic marker genes (Runx2, ALP, OCN, and BSP) in CPI treated media compared with the control supports their osteoinductive nature. Therefore, cricket-derived protein isolates could be used as functional protein isolate for tissue engineering applications, especially for bone regeneration.

Abstract:
In arid regions such as Saudi Arabia, wastewater treatment (WWT) facilities (meeting promulgated standards) need to adapt their continuous performance improvement (CPI) for long-term sustainability. To achieve this, the facilities need to improve their performance to comply with more strict objectives for broader reuse applications of treated effluent. The present research proposes a CPI framework based on performance benchmarking process for the stepwise improvement of WWT facilities. A grey rational analysis water quality index (GWQI) based on exceedance probability was developed. For weights’ estimation of 11 physical, chemical, and biological water quality parameters, the entropy method effectively accommodated the changes in relative importance of the parameters with including additional future reuse applications. For existing effluent reuse scenarios of restricted and unrestricted irrigation, the GWQI values were found consistent with the modified version of the Canadian WQI (GWQI). The indices’ values (ranged between 0 and 100) greater than 80 showed the efficient operation of four WWT plants in the Qassim Region of Saudi Arabia. Two hypothetical CPI scenarios with future reuse applications (fish, livestock drinking, and recreation) showed an overall decline in the average (of four plants) values of the GWQI (97 to 78) and CWQI (85 to 60). CWQI predicted stricter results for the facilities with parameters’ concentrations exceeding the targets with larger margins and was found applicable for the CPI of WWT facilities in arid regions. For existing scenarios, the assessment results suggest the facilities to control and monitor the chlorination practice. For future targets, tertiary treatment needs to be enhanced for desired nutrients and total dissolved solids removal. The proposed CPI framework provides a platform to initiate the performance benchmarking process for WWT facilities at local or regional levels in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.

Abstract:
Free base, Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of the 2,7,12,17-tetrapropionic acid of 3,8,13,18-tetramethyl-21H,23H porphyrin (CPI) in solution and bounded to transparent monolayer TiO2nanoparticle films were studied to determine their adsorption on TiO2surface, to measure the adsorption kinetics and isotherms, and to use the results obtained to optimize the preparation of DSSC photovoltaic cells. Adsorption studies were carried out on monolayer transparent TiO2films of a known thickness. Langmuir and Frendlich adsorption constants of CPI-dyes on TiO2monolayer surface have been calculated as a function of the equilibrium concentrations in the solutions. The amount of these adsorbed dyes showed the accordance with Langmuir isotherm. Kinetic data on the adsorption of dyes showed significantly better fits to pseudo-first-order model and the evaluated rate constants linearly increased with the grow of initial dye concentrations. The stoichiometry of the adsorption of CPI-dyes into TiO2and the influence of presence of coadsorbent (chenodeoxycholic acid) have been established. The DSSC obtained in the similar conditions showed that the best efficiency can be obtained in the absence of coadsorbent with short and established immersion times.

In continuation of an effort to develop processable high-performance structural resins for use in aerospace applications, a new polyimide. LARCTM-CPI 2, has been developed. This semicrystalline polyimide was prepared by the reaction of 4.4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride with 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy-4'-benzoyl)benzene. In high-molecular-weight form this material has a glass transition temperature of 223 C and a crystalline melt temperature of approximately 350 'C. Controlled-molecular-weight end-capped versions of LARCTM-CPI 2 were used to fabricate adhesive panels and composites that exhibited good mechanical properties at temperatures as high as 200 C.

Abstract:
Most indexes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) use a form of the “matched-model” approach. It is frequently assumed that this approach accurately reflects inflation for items that have no major trend in quality. In this paper we investigate that hypothesis using CPI data for retail food items. We find that CPI analysts may be correct on average when they decide that new and replacement items are similar in quality. We also find, however, that when sample items are replaced by items of significantly different quality the CPI imputation procedures may underestimate price change and overstate quality change.

Abstract:
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), the foundation of smart grids, can be used to provide numerous intelligent power applications and services based on the data acquired from AMI. Effective and efficient communication performance between widely-spread smart meters and Data Concentrator Units (DCUs) is one of the most important issues for the successful deployment and operation of AMI and needs to be further investigated. This paper proposes an effective Communication Performance Index (CPI) to assess and supervise the communication performance of each smart meter. Some communication quality measurements that can be easily acquired from a smart meter such as reading success rate and response time are used to design the proposed CPI. Fuzzy logic is adopted to combine these measurements to calculate the proposed CPI. The CPIs for communication paths, DCUs and whole AMI can then be derived from meter CPIs. Simulation and experimental results for small-scale AMIs demonstrate the validity of the proposed CPI. Through the calculated CPIs, the communication performance and stability for AMI can be effectively assessed and supervised.

Abstract:
The Class Pass Intervention (CPI) is designed to be implemented within school-wide PBIS to decrease disruptive behavior and teach an appropriate replacement behavior for students needing Tier 2 intervention. The purpose of the present study was to extend the literature on the CPI by further evaluating the impact of the first component of the CPI on disruptive behavior and academic engagement of elementary school children with disabilities engaging in mild to moderate disruptive behavior. Three students and their respective teachers participated in the study. A multiple baseline across participants design with an embedded reversal was used to demonstrate the impact of the CPI on student behavior during a targeted problematic routine. The results indicated that the CPI was effective in decreasing disruptive behavior and increasing academic engagement for all participating students. Results were maintained for one participant while fading the magnitude of the intervention. Students and teachers rated CPI as effective and acceptable.

Abstract:
In an engine component the repeated start-stop cycles cause temporal and local inhomogeneous temperatures, which in turn lead to a type of low-frequency loading, plastic deformation and eventually failure due to thermo-mechanical fatigue. Simultaneously, high-frequency mechanical loading arises from the cyclic combustion pressure and from road induced vibrations. These types of loadings that mainly are in the elastic region are usually denoted high cycle fatigue (HCF). In order to improve efficiency, power density and to reduce emissions, future truck engines will be subjected to higher temperatures and higher combustion pressures which will affect the service life of the different engine components. As a consequence, there is a need to determine the limitations of the used alloys under these service conditions as exactly as possible. In this master thesis work the fatigue properties of one grey iron (EN-GJL 250) and one compacted graphite iron (EN-GJV 400) has been investigated under realistic loading conditions. The results show that a change from the grey iron to the compacted graphite iron will result in a significant increase of the fatigue life. The investigation also reveal that the life will increase significantly if the maximum temperature can be decreased tens of degrees. Further, the results indicate that addition of a relatively small HCF load may give a large decrease of the fatigue life.
Motorkomponenter utsätts för upprepade start och stopp, vilka skapar tillfälliga och lokala temperaturvariationer. Dessa resulterar i lågfrekventa lastväxlingar, plastiska deformationer och eventuella brott i form av termodynamisk utmattning (TMF). Det sker dessutom en högfrekvent mekanisk last, genererad av förbränningen och från vägvibrationer. Dessa laster är mestadels elastiska och benämns högcykelutmattning (HCF). För att kunna förbättra verkningsgrad och minska emissioner kommer framtida lastbilsmotorer att utsättas för högre förbränningstryck och högre temperaturer, vilket kommer påverka motorernas livslängd. För detta krävs det att materialens begränsningar utreds under ett verklighetstroget förhållande. I detta exjobb kommer utmattningsegenskaperna för ett gråjärn (EN-GJL 250) och ett kompaktgrafikjärn (EN-GJV 400) utredas under realistiska lastförhållanden. Resultatet påvisar att ett byte från gråjärn till kompaktgrafitjärn ger en signifikant ökad livslängd. Det framkommer också att livslängden kan ökas genom att sänka den maximala temperaturen ett tiotal grader. Analysen påvisar även att en relativt liten HCF last kan ge kraftigt förkortad livslängd.

Abstract:
Le travail présenté dans ce mémoire porte sur l'étude de la métastabilité dans le silicium polymorphe hydrogéné (pm-Si:H). Le pm-Si:H est déposé dans un régime de plasma proche de la formation de poudres, ce qui entraîne l'incorporation d'agrégats et des cristallites dans la couche. Des résultats antérieurs ont démontré le caractère prometteur du pm-Si:H pour la conversion photovoltai͏̈que. Cette étude a pour objectif d'apporter une meilleure compréhension entre la microstructure du pm-Si:H et ses propriétés de transport en fonction des conditions de dépôt. Nous avons utilisé différentes méthodes de caractérisations, et en particulier des techniques de caractérisations électriques: mesures de conductivité et de photoconductivité (méthode de photocourant constant, photocourant modulé et photoconductivité par interférométrie laser), que nous avons couplées avec des méthodes de caractérisations structurales (spectroscopie infrarouge par transformé de Fourier et exodiffusion thermique). Nous avons particulièrement étudié la métastabilité du pm-Si:H. Après une étude systématique des films de pm-Si:H, nous avons mis en évidence les conditions de dépôt qui conduisent à des films aux propriétés de transport optimisées (grande vitesse de dépôt, longueur de diffusion des porteurs minoritaires élevée et stable, meilleur efficacité de rendement des dispositifs). Grâce à la corrélation entre les propriétés électriques et structurales des films de pm-Si:H, nous avons conclu que les bonnes propriétés électriques du pm-Si:H sont reliées directement à la présence d'agrégats et de cristallites dans la matrice amorphe du matériau. Pour éviter l'évolution au cours des cycles vieillissement/recuit des propriétés de transport de ces films et de leur densité d'états, il semble qu'il faille choisir des conditions de dépôt qui conduisent à une hydrogénation optimale de ces agrégats ou cristallites. Nous avons également développé un modèle qui explique la métastabilité des films pm-Si:H
The work presented in this thesis is devoted to the study of the metastability in the hydrogenated polymorphous silicon (pm-Si:H). The pm-Si:H films deposited in a plasma regime close to the powder formation, which promoted the incorporation of nanocrystallites and/or clusters in amorphous matrix of the layers. Previous results have shown the promising potentiality of the pm-Si:H for photovoltaic conversion. The aim of this study is to bring a better comprehension between the structural and optoelectronic properties of pm-Si:H films prepared under different deposition conditions. We used various methods of characterizations, and in particular some electrical techniques of characterizations: measurements of conductivity and photoconductivity (constant photocourant method, modulated photocurrent, steady state photocarrier gratings)), which we coupled with methods of structural characterizations (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and hydrogen effusion experiments). We particularly studied the metastability of the pm-Si:H. After a systematic study of a large number of pm-Si:H films, we highlighted the deposition conditions which lead to films with good properties transport (high deposition rate, high and excellent stability of the ambipolar diffusion length of the minority carriers, better efficiency of the solar cells). A link between hydrogen bonding and transport properties is made that shows that to exhibit good transport properties the material has to present a peculiar microstructure revealed by the hydrogen bonding. However, the hydrogen bonding and/or content in this structure has to be adjusted via the deposition conditions to reach an optimum hydrogen incorporation leading to the best layers and the best solar cell devices

Abstract:
This thesis addresses the fabrication, evaluation, and analysis of the probe tip of a non-vibrating contact potential difference sensor. The non-vibrating contact potential difference (nvCPD) probe measures the work function variation on a conducting surface and recent experiments performed to measure the size of surface features have shown poor correlation between actual and calculated probe tip dimensions. In order to address this deficiency, experiments were done and an analytical model was developed, including fringe electrical fields, that predicts the shape of the nvCPD probe signal as a function of probe tip geometry, work function variation, and experimental parameters. Probe tips were constructed with varying geometric properties and experiments using these probe tips were compared to a model. There was good correlation of the nvCPD probe output for a known work function change and probe tip geometry. The effective area of the probe tip resulting from electrical field fringing is expected to increase with dielectric thickness to a finite value, based on pre-existing electrostatic models for a shielded parallel plate capacitor. The minimum fringe field obtained in these experiments was for a 3.18mm diameter probe tip with a dielectric thickness of 0.20mm. The fringe field diameter was 3.38mm at a fly height of 0.60mm, representing an effective probe tip area increase of 13%.

Abstract:
I tumori macroscopici e microscopici, dopo la loro prima fase di crescita, sono composti da un numero medio elevato di cellule. Così, in assenza di perturbazioni esterne, la loro crescita e i punti di equilibrio possono essere descritti da equazioni differenziali. Tuttavia, il tumore interagisce fortemente col macroambiente che lo circonda e di conseguenza una descrizione del tutto deterministica risulta a volte inappropriata. In questo caso si può considerare l'interazione con fluttuazioni statistiche, causate da disturbi esterni, utilizzando le equazioni differenziali stocastiche (SDE). Questo è vero in modo particolare quando si cerca di modellizzare tumori altamente immunogenici che interagiscono con il sistema immunitario, in quanto la complessità di questa interazione risulta in fenomeni di multistabilità. Così, il rumore può provocare disturbi e indurre transizioni di stato (Noise-Induced-Transitions). E' importante notare che una NIT può avere implicazioni profonde sulla vita di un paziente, dal momento che una transizione da uno stato di equilibrio piccolo, nelle dimensioni del tumore, ad uno stato di equilibrio macroscopico, nella maggior parte dei casi significa il passaggio dalla vita alla morte. Generalmente l'approccio standard è quello di modellizzare le fluttuazioni stocastiche dei parametri per mezzo di rumore gaussiano bianco o colorato. In alcuni casi però questa procedura è altamente inadeguata, a causa della illimitatezza intrinseca dei rumori gaussiani che può portare a gravi incongruenze biologiche: pertanto devono essere utilizzati dei rumori "limitati", che, tuttavia, sono molto meno studiati di quelli gaussiani. Inoltre, l'insorgenza di NIT dipende dal tipo di rumore scelto, che rivela un nuovo livello di complessità in biologia. Lo scopo di questa tesi è quello di studiare le applicazioni di due tipi diversi di "rumori limitati" nelle transizioni indotte in due casi: interazione tra tumore e sistema immunitario e chemioterapia dei tumori. Nel primo caso, abbiamo anche introdotto un nuovo modello matematico di terapia, che estende, in modo nuovo, il noto modello di Norton-Simon.

All-ceramic restorations have been widely used as aesthetic standard in nowadays dentistry, to replace the tooth structure (appearance and function). However, failures associated with chipping and delamination of the veneering porcelain from zirconia substructure still high when compared to metal-ceramic systems. This study aimed address these problems by improving the mechanical strength of veneering porcelain and by improving its adhesion to zirconia substrate. First, the addition of a stronger ceramic second phase (zirconia particles) to feldspathic porcelain was studied. This study began with the preliminary characterization of zirconia synthesized by Complex Polymerization Method (CPM) and commercial zirconia. It was found that the synthesized zirconia did not show improved properties when compared to commercial zirconia. Commercial zirconia powders were thus used thereafter. The influence of the type of powder (pre-sintered or agglomerated) in the mechanical properties and wear of porcelain composites (20vol.%) was evaluated. The pre-sintered powders increased the mechanical strength and wear of the composites compared to agglomerated powders. Then, it was determined the amount of second phase (0-50vol.%) that maximizes the mechanical properties of the porcelain-zirconia composites. It was concluded that the composites with 30vol.% of zirconia showed the best results for wear and flexural strength (198.5MPa). Finally, it was evaluated the influence of the type of surface treatment (sandblasting or holes) and the deposition of a composite interlayer (porcelain reinforced with 30vol.% of zirconia), on the zirconia surface, on the bond strength between the veneering porcelain and the zirconia substructure. The highest bond strength values were found for specimens having simultaneously holes on the surface of zirconia and the composite interlayer between the zirconia substructure and the veneering porcelain (138 ? 19MPa). It was demonstrated that the correct configuration of the interface between the zirconia substructure and the veneering porcelain can lead to all-ceramic restorations with enhanced mechanical strength and improved clinical performance.
Materiais comp?sitos restauradores representam um dos mais bem sucedidos biomateriais na pesquisa moderna, na substitui??o do tecido biol?gico em apar?ncia e fun??o. Nesta linha, a porcelana feldsp?tica tem sido largamente usada em odontologia devido suas interessantes qualidades como estabilidade de cor, propriedades est?ticas, elevada durabilidade mec?nica, biocompatibilidade, baixa condutividade t?rmica e elevada resist?ncia ao desgaste. Entretanto, este material ? fr?gil e pode falhar em ambiente oral devido ao micro-vazamento, baixa resist?ncia ? tra??o, descolagem ou fratura. Assim, para melhorar as propriedades mec?nicas da porcelana, a zirc?nia parcialmente estabilizada com ?tria (Y-TZP) pode ser uma boa alternativa para fortalecer e produzir infraestruturas totalmente cer?micas (coroas e pr?teses parciais fixas). Portanto, este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar as propriedades mec?nicas e caracter?sticas microestruturais da porcelana refor?ada com zirc?nia (3Y-TZP) em diferentes conte?dos e as vari?veis que afetam as propriedades mec?nicas destes materiais. O estudo de caracteriza??o revelou que a zirc?nia comercial apresenta melhores resultados quando comparada com a zirc?nia sintetizada pelo CPM. Assim, os estudos seguintes utilizaram a zirc?nia comercial para todos os testes requeridos. As part?culas de zirc?nia apresentam elevadas propriedades mec?nicas quando comparadas a zirc?nia aglomerada. Os diferentes conte?dos revelam que as propriedades mec?nicas dos comp?sitos aumentam com o aumento do conte?do volum?trico at? 30% vol.% (198,5Mpa), ou seja, maior resist?ncia ? flex?o quando comparada com os outros comp?sitos. Do mesmo modo, a resist?ncia ao desgaste para os comp?sitos com (30%, vol.% de zirc?nia) apresenta valores superiores quando comparado aos demais comp?sitos. Na ades?o cer?mico-cer?mico a porcelana exibe elevada ades?o para a superf?cie de zirc?nia porosa quando comparada a superf?cie rugosa. Os furos superficiais (PZ) e aplica??o de comp?sitos com camada intermedi?ria (RZI) na zirc?nia causam separadamente uma melhoria da resist?ncia ao cisalhamento da zirc?nia-porcelana quando comparados as amostras convencionais de zirc?nia-porcelana (RZ), embora n?o sejam estatisticamente significativas (p>0.05). A presen?a de uma camada intermediaria produz um aumento significativo na for?a de liga??o (~55%) em rela??o as amostras convencionais (RZ). Portanto, a correta a correta configura??o e tratamento superficial podem produzir subestruturas com qualidade e for?a de liga??o adequadas aos requisitos odontol?gicos.

Dans le chapitre 1, nous considérons les processus CBI (Continuous state Branching with Immigration) qui correspondent à un exemple de processus affines à valeurs dans la demi- droite réelle positive. Notre objectif dans ce chapitre consiste à étudier la transformée de Laplace du temps d’atteinte de ces processus à un niveau donné. Notre approche est basée sur un récent développement de Patie and Vigon [2015] concernant la théorie du potentiel pour la classe des processus de Markov complètement asymétriques à valeurs dans la droite réelle. Dans un premier temps, cette approche originale nous permet de donner une expression pour la transformée de Laplace du premier temps d’atteinte d’un niveau qui se trouve en dessous du point de départ du processus et ainsi de retrouver par une approche plus générale le résultat récemment obtenu par Duhalde et al. [2014]. Dans un deuxième temps, nous nous intéressons au cas où le niveau à atteindre se trouve au-dessus du point de départ du processus. Dans ce cadre, la situation est plus compliquée puisque le processus admet des sauts positifs. Néanmoins, nous sommes capable de donner une expression pour la transformée de Laplace de ce temps d’atteinte. Dans le chapitre 2, nous considérons les processus Wishart qui correspondent à un exemple de processus affines à valeurs dans le cône des matrices symétriques semi-définies positives. Plus précisément, nous considérons des processus de Wishart sans retour à la moyenne et nous étudions le problème de déterminer le plus petit instant tel que la transformée de Laplace du processus et/ou son intégrale devienne infinie. Le problème de déterminer le domaine maximal d’existence d’une transformée de Laplace est une préoccupation importante et cruciale, pas seulement d’un point de vue théorique, mais surtout pour des raisons pratiques liées à l’implémentation numérique. Sous une faible hypothèse de commutativité, nous obtenons le temps d’explosion de la transformée de Laplace jointe. Cette hypothèse disparaît lorsque l’on s’intéresse aux temps d’explosion de la transformée de Laplace de l’intégrale du processus ou du processus seul. De plus, nous expliquons le comportement du temps d’explosion en terme du rôle de la corrélation entre les facteurs positifs, ce qui va au-delà des résultats unidimensionnels que l’on peut retrouver dans la littérature. Dans le chapitre 3, nous considérons des modèles affines où une structure de dépendance entre les taux de mortalité et d’intérêt existe. Nous nous concentrons sur deux sortes de modèles. Le premier modèle suppose que les dynamiques de la mortalité et du processus de taux d’intérêt sont conduits par un processus de Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) multidimensionnel et le second par un processus de Wishart. Dans ce contexte, nos objectifs consistent à déterminer des formules pour les prix de certains contrats d’assurance tels que les options annuités garanties ainsi que d’étudier l’influence d’une structure de dépendance sur ces prix. En suivant la méthodologie introduite par Jalen and Mamon [2009], nous commençons par dériver une formule pour le prix de ces contrats. Ensuite, nous étudions la sensibilité du prix de ces contrats par rapport à la structure de dépendance entre les taux de mortalité et d’intérêt. Nous observons que dans un modèle affine général comme le modèle de Wishart qui permet de reproduire une structure de dépendance stochastique et plus riche entre les taux de mortalité et d’intérêt, plusieurs scénarios pour les prix peuvent être reproduits.

Abstract:
The Chinshan boiling water reactor (BWR) units 1 and 2, owned by Taiwan Power Company (TPC), started commercial operations in 1978 and 1979, respectively. The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) welds unavoidably degrade with the long time operation because of the fast-neutron fluence exposure. This effect should be considered in the life extension and license renewal application. Thus, the structural integrity of the axial and circumferential welds at the beltline region of reactor vessel must be evaluated carefully. The probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) analysis code: Fracture Analysis of Vessels – Oak Ridge (FAVOR), which has been verified by USNRC, is adopted in this work to calculate the conditional probability of initiation (CPI) and the conditional probability of failure (CPF) for the welds with 32 and 64 effective full power years (EFPY) operation, respectively. The Monte Carlo technique is involved in the simulation. This is the first time that the PFM technique is adopted for evaluating the risk of nuclear power plant components in Taiwan. Actual geometries, material properties, chemistry components, neutron fluence and operation conditions are used for the plant specific analyses. Moreover, the design basis transients/accidents described in the final safety analysis report are also taken into account. The computed results show that the failure probabilities of welds are less than 10−10 per year. Only the axial weld, W-1001-08, is found to have the probability of failure. The results of this work can be used to evaluate the structural integrity of the welds located at the RPV beltline region, and provide the aging analysis results for the life extension and the license renewal applications.
