ANTECEDENTS OF SELF-REPORTED SAFETY BEHAVIORS AMONG COMMISSIONING WORKERS IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS: THE ROLES OF DEMOGRAPHICS, PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SAFETY ATTITUDES

Demographics, personality traits and attitudes are related to safety behaviors in varied workplaces, but their roles in nuclear power plants (NPPs) have not been fully understood.This study was conducted to explore the roles of a set of demographic, personality and attitudinal factors on self-reported safety behaviors (including safety participatio

Non-conventional processes are considerably important for the machining of hard-to-cut alloys in various demanding applications.Given that the surface quality and integrity, dimensional accuracy, and productivity are important considerations in industrial practice, the prediction of the outcome of the material removal process should be able to be c

It may not be a challenge to run a Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) code for electromagnetic simulations on a supercomputer with more than 10 thousands of CPU cores; however, to make FDTD code work with the highest efficiency is a challenge.In this paper, the performance of parallel FDTD is optimized through MPI (message passing interface) virt
