The uncertainty in the predicted CHF of rod bundles depends on the combined performance of the subchannel code and the CHF correlation. Their sensitivities to various physical parameters or models, such as void fraction, turbulent mixing, etc., are complementary to each other. Therefore, in a comparison of the accuracy of the predictions from various rod bundle CHF correlations, they should be calculated by using their respective, accompanied computer codes.The word accompanied here means the particular code used in developing the particular CHF correlation of the rod bundle. To determine the individual uncertainties of the code or the correlation, both the subchannel code and the CHF correlation should be validated separately by experiments. For example, the subchannel code THINC II was validated in rod bundles (Weismanet al., 1968), while the W-3 CHF correlation was validated in round tubes (Tong, 1967a).

CNTs have been studied for cancer therapies despite the fact that these have been shown to accumulate to toxic levels within the organs of diverse animal models and different cell lines (Fiorito et al., 2006 Tong and Cheng, 2007). The molecular and cellular mechanisms for toxicity of carbon nanotubes have not been fully clarified. Furthermore, toxicity must be examined on the basis of multiple routes of administration (i.e., pulmonary, transdermal, ocular, oral, and intravenous) and on multiple species mammals, lower terrestrial animals, aquatic animals (both vertebrates and invertebrates), and plants (both terrestrial and aquatic). A basic set of tests for risk assessment of nanomaterials has been put forward (Nano risk framework).

The current model for FeS cluster formation is based mainly on studies of Saccharomyces and human cells (reviewed in bill and Muhlenhoff 2006 Rouault and Tong 2005 Tachezy and Dolezal 2007). The pyridoxal phosphate-dependent cysteine desulfurase (IscS) is a central component catalyzing the production of sulfur from -cysteine (Ii et al. 1999 Schwartz et al. 2000). The released sulfur is transferred to IscU which constitutes a scaffold for the formation of a transient FeS cluster (Agar et al. 2000). Subsequently, the FeS cluster is transferred to mitochondrial apoproteins with the assistance of the...
