Summary: Human reliability analysis (HRA) is important in fields like nuclear engineering, and assessing dependence among human tasks is a key part of HRA. However, existing methods rely on subjective and uncertain expert opinions and cannot handle dynamic influencing factors. In this paper, a new model based on Dempster-Shafer evidence theory and fuzzy numbers is proposed to address these challenges.

Summary: The study focuses on the thermal performance and heat dissipation of batteries in flying cars. Flat heat pipe technology is proposed to solve the battery thermal issues, and its effectiveness is verified through experiments. The results show that the battery's maximum temperature occurs at the end of the takeoff stage, while the maximum temperature difference appears during the forward flight segment. With suitable heat dissipation structures and control methods for different discharge conditions and environmental factors, the battery's thermal performance can be improved.

Summary: With the increase in anthropogenic activities, there is a higher demand for natural resources such as water, energy, infrastructure, wood, resulting in climate change, land erosion, pollution, and biodiversity loss. This study investigates the impact of nuclear energy and human capital on the ecological footprint in advanced economies. The research findings indicate that nuclear energy can protect the environment and reduce carbon footprints, while human capital can decrease the ecological footprint. However, electricity consumption stimulates economic activity and increases ecological footprints.

Summary: Nuclear power is a sustainable energy option, but it generates radioactive waste during electricity production. Various technologies, including vitrification, partitioning and transmutation, pyro-processing, and deep geological repository, are reviewed for long-term storage of partially used nuclear fuel. While deep geological repository may be convenient and economical in the short-term, complete recycling of nuclear waste is considered the best option in the long-term.

Summary: The effect of WO3 doping on the optical and shielding properties of the TeO2B2O3 glass system was investigated in this study. The results showed that WO3 doping decreased the density of the glass samples and increased the molar volume. Optical analysis revealed that WO3 doping changed the values of direct and indirect optical band gaps. In terms of radiation shielding, the glass sample with the highest percentage of TeO2 exhibited the best shielding performance.

Summary: The comprehensive shielding behaviors of chambersite deposit in China for neutron and gamma ray were systematically analyzed for the first time. The results showed that the chambersite deposit has excellent shielding performance for high energy and low energy neutrons, and its gamma ray shielding ability is between steel-magnetite concrete and ilmenite concrete. The prepared sample of chambersite deposit has better shielding performance for both thermal neutron and gamma ray compared to other materials.

Summary: With the rapid development of global electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, and aerospace, the prediction of temperature in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has become crucial for preventing fire accidents. The current main method is to use surface temperature sensors, but it is not practical to install sensors at each cell due to cost, space, and weight issues. Therefore, the development of a new method based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has become an urgent problem to be solved. This review summarizes the main methods of using EIS to predict the temperature of LIBs in recent years and discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and future development direction of different methods.
