NUCLEAR REACTOR ASSEMBLIES, NUCLEAR REACTOR TARGET ASSEMBLIES, AND NUCLEAR REACTOR METHODS (iEdison No. 0685901-16-0012)
Reactor target assemblies are provided that can include a housing defining a perimeter of at least one volume and Np or Am spheres within the one volume. Reactor assemblies are provided that can include a reactor vessel and a bundle of target assemblies within the reactor vessel, at least one of the target assemblies comprising a housing defining a volume with Np or Am spheres being within the volume. Irradiation methods are also provided that can include irradiating Np or Am spheres within a nuclear reactor, then removing the irradiated spheres from the reactor and treating the irradiated spheres.
Data Graphing Methods, Articles of Manufacture, and Computing Devices
GreenHornet is a graph analytics system that embraces the strengths of the traditional top-down and bottom-up approaches for graph visualization. It does this with a crossover concept to exploit the vast middle-ground information overlooked by the two extreme analytical approaches. It uses a graph coarsening technique to allow users to search or select parts of a graph, and then expand or contract the selected region separately from the unselected region, which can also be expanded or contracted on its own.
SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR PURIFICATION OF ASTATINE-211 FROM TARGET MATERIALS (iEdison No. 0685901-17-0014)
A new column-based purification system and approach are described for rapid separation and purification of the alpha-emitting therapeutic radioisotope .sup.211At from dissolved cyclotron targets that provide highly reproducible product results with excellent .sup.211At species distributions and high antibody labeling yields compared with prior art manual extraction results of the prior art that can be expected to enable enhanced production of purified .sup.211At isotope products suitable for therapeutic medical applications such as treatment of cancer in human patients.
DEVICES AND PROCESS FOR HIGH-PRESSURE MAGIC ANGLE SPINNING NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE
A high pressure magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR capability, compromising of a high pressure MAS rotor, a high pressure loading/reaction device for in situ sealing and re-opening of the valve of the high pressure MAS rotor, and a MAS probe with localized RF coil for background signal suppression, is reported. Use ceramics as the sample rotor cylinder, and plastics glued in a “smart way” at the both ends of the cylinder for high pressure seal, pressure exceeding 100 bars is achieved with minimal penetration loss of pressure during a period of 72 hours. As an example of application, in situ 13C MAS NMR studies of the reaction products and intermediates associated with geological carbon sequestration using a model mineral, i.e., forsterite (Mg2SiO4) reacted with supper critical CO2 and H2O at 50C are carried out and preliminary results are reported.

METHOD OF GENERATING FEATURES OPTIMAL TO A DATASET AND CLASSIFIER
A method of generating features optimal to a particular dataset and classifier is disclosed. A dataset of messages is inputted and a classifier is selected. An algebra of features is encoded. Computable features that are capable of describing the dataset from the algebra of features are selected. Irredundant features that are optimal for the classifier and the dataset are selected.
SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR DISSOLUTION OF SOLIDS
A system and process are disclosed for dissolution of solids and “difficult-to-dissolve” solids. A solid sample may be ablated in an ablation device to generate nanoscale particles. Nanoparticles may then swept into a coupled plasma device operating at atmospheric pressure where the solid nanoparticles are atomized. The plasma exhaust may be delivered directly into an aqueous fluid to form a solution containing the atomized and dissolved solids. The composition of the resulting solution reflects the composition of the original solid sample.
PREDICTION OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS AS TRUSTED NEWS OR AS TYPES OF SUSPICIOUS NEWS
We build predictive models to classify thousands of news posts as suspicious or verified, and predict four subtypes of suspicious news on twitter - satire, hoaxes, clickbait and propaganda. We show that neural network models trained on tweet content and social network interactions outperform lexical models. Unlike previous work on deception detection, we find that adding syntax and grammar features to our models does not improve performance. Incorporating linguistic features improves classification results, however, social interaction features are most informative for finer-grained separation between four types of suspicious news posts.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DATA STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL
A method includes directing a probe beam to a target that includes an array of data portions in a data storage medium arranged so that a beam area of the probe beam extends across a plurality of adjacent data portions, the array including a data portion subset with each data portion of the subset responsive to the probe beam to produce a response illumination, receiving the response illumination at a detector, and determining data values corresponding to the plurality of adjacent data portions based on the received response illumination. Apparatus and systems are also disclosed.density.
