This volume presents a comprehensive overview of multimodal
approaches to curriculum and programmatic implementation across a
diverse range of teaching environments and across geographic and
cultural boundaries. Featuring contributions from scholars within
and across both disciplines, the book examines the ways in which
new technologies link to expanding definitions of literacy and,
building on this, how multimodal approaches might most effectively
address the unique opportunities and challenges instructors face in
contemporary classrooms and professional development programs.
Chapters draw on case studies from both existing scholarship and
findings from the authors' own experiences in practice, including
examples from writing, rhetoric, and composition courses, open
online learning courses, and interdisciplinary faculty training
programs. The final section of the book showcases how the
conversation might be further extended to address increasingly
multilingual classrooms by exploring how multimodality has been
implemented in transnational settings. Engaging with key questions
at the intersection of programmatic and curricular development and
multimodal studies, this book is a fundamental resource for
graduate students and scholars in multimodality, rhetoric studies,
language education, applied linguistics, and communication studies.

An introductory text for broad areas of nuclear reactor physics
Nuclear Reactor Physics and Engineering offers information on
analysis, design, control, and operation of nuclear reactors. The
author--a noted expert on the topic--explores the fundamentals and
presents the mathematical formulations that are grounded in
differential equations and linear algebra. The book puts the focus
on the use of neutron diffusion theory for the development of
techniques for lattice physics and global reactor system analysis.
The author also includes recent developments in numerical
algorithms, including the Krylov subspace method, and the MATLAB
software, including the Simulink toolbox, for efficient studies of
steady-state and transient reactor configurations. In addition,
nuclear fuel cycle and associated economics analysis are presented,
together with the application of modern control theory to reactor
operation. This important book: Provides a comprehensive
introduction to the fundamental concepts of nuclear reactor physics
and engineering Contains information on nuclear reactor kinetics
and reactor design analysis Presents illustrative examples to
enhance understanding Offers self-contained derivation of fluid
conservation equations Written for undergraduate and graduate
students in nuclear engineering and practicing engineers, Nuclear
Reactor Physics and Engineering covers the fundamental concepts and
tools of nuclear reactor physics and analysis.
The book has been developed in conjunction with NERS 462, a course
offered every year to seniors and graduate students in the
University of Michigan NERS program.
The first half of the book covers the principles of risk
analysis, the techniques used to develop and update a reliability
data base, the reliability of multi-component systems, Markov
methods used to analyze the unavailability of systems with repairs,
fault trees and event trees used in probabilistic risk assessments
(PRAs), and failure modes of systems. All of this material is
general enough that it could be used in non-nuclear applications,
although there is an emphasis placed on the analysis of nuclear
systems.
The second half of the book covers the safety analysis of
nuclear energy systems, an analysis of major accidents and
incidents that occurred in commercial nuclear plants, applications
of PRA techniques to the safety analysis of nuclear power plants
(focusing on a major PRA study for five nuclear power plants),
practical PRA examples, and emerging techniques in the structure of
dynamic event trees and fault trees that can provide a more
realistic representation of complex sequences of events. The book
concludes with a discussion on passive safety features of advanced
nuclear energy systems under development and approaches taken for
risk-informed regulations for nuclear plants.
