Some database models have already been developed to deal with complex values but they have constrains that data stored is precise and queries are crisp. However, as many researchers have pointed out, there is a need to present, manipulate, and query complex and uncertain data of various non-traditional database applications such as oceanography, multimedia, meteorology, office automation systems, engineering designs, expert database systems and geographic information systems. In this paper, we present a logical database model, which is an extension of a nested relational data model (also known as an NF2 data model), for representing and manipulating complex and uncertain data in databases. We also introduce a possible physical representation of such complex and uncertain values in databases and describe the query processing of the model that we discuss here. 相似文献
In a fast incore thermionic spacecraft reactor for nuclear propulsion, the temperature rise due to the neutron heating in the reflector control drums is investigated. The reactor is fuelled with (U-Ta)C, consisting of 80UC-20TaC with a sinter density of 80% and controlled with the help of rotating drums imbedded into the beryllium reflector. The control drums contain natural B4C strips (with 20% 10B and 80% 11B) and produce nuclear heat via neutron absorption in 10B. The neutronic analysis has been conducted in S16-P3 and S8-P3 approximation with the help of one- and two-dimensional neutron transport codes ANISN and DORT, respectively. Calculations are conducted for a reactor with a core radius of 22 cm and core height of 35 cm leading to 50 kWel in power phase. Reflector drums with 100% natural B4C in form of strips (drum diameter=13.5 cm, strip width=5 mm) at the outer periphery of the radial reflector of 16 cm thickness would make possible reactivity changes of Δkeff,max=10.7% without a significant distortion of the fission power profile during all phases of the space mission. A reduction of the B4C in the strips to 20 and 10% would still allow a reactivity change of Δkeff,max=8.4 and 7.7%, respectively, amply sufficient for an effective control of a fast reactor during all phases of the space mission. By a nuclear thermal thrust around F=5000 N and a specific impulse of 670 s−1 at an hydrogen exit temperature around 1900 K, the maximum temperature in the drums rises to 1023 K, with 100% natural B4C content in the strips, far below the melting point of beryllium. The maximum drum temperature is depressed to 663 and 519 K, with 20 and 10% natural B4C content in the strips, respectively. 相似文献

The Sultanate of Oman has been dealing with a severe renewable energy issue for the past few decades, and the government has struggled to find a solution. In addition, Oman’s strategy for converting power generation to sources of renewable energy includes a goal of 60 percent of national energy demands being met by renewables by 2040, including solar and wind turbines. Furthermore, the use of small-scale energy from wind devices has been on the rise in recent years. This upward trend is attributed to advancements in wind turbine technology, which have lowered the cost of energy from wind. To calculate the internal and external factors that affect the small-scale energy of wind technologies, the study used a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process technique for order of preference by similarity to an ideal solution. As a result, in the decision model, four criteria, seventeen sub-criteria, and three resources of renewable energy were calculated as options from the viewpoint of the Sultanate of Oman. This research is based on an examination of statistics on energy produced by wind turbines at various locations in the Sultanate of Oman. Further, six distinct miniature wind turbines were investigated for four different locations. The outcomes of this study indicate that the tiny wind turbine has a lot of potential in the Sultanate of Oman for applications such as homes, schools, college campuses, irrigation, greenhouses, communities, and small businesses. The government should also use renewable energy resources to help with the renewable energy issue and make sure that the country has enough renewable energy for its long-term growth. 相似文献
The repeated use of cooking oils and ghee for the deep frying of food materials may affect their nutritional quality. The present study evaluated the effect of repeated frying on the physicochemical characteristics and antiradical potential of canola oil and ghee. The oil and ghee were used for frying of fish and chicken for 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 frying cycles followed by the analysis of physicochemical, oxidative stress, and antiradical parameters. Regression analysis of the data showed a frying cycle-dependent significant linear increase in saponification (R2 = 0.9507–0.9748), peroxide and acid values (R2 = 0.956–0.9915), and malondialdehyde (MDA) production (R2 = 0.9058–0.9557) of canola oil and ghee subjected to fish and chicken frying but exponential increase in saponification value (R2 = 0.9778) and MDA production (R2 = 0.7407) of canola oil and ghee used for fish frying. The increase in the number of frying cycles linearly decreased the iodine value (R2 = 0.9781–0.9924), and 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl, and 2, 2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging potential (R2 = 0.9089–0.9979) of canola oil and ghee. Repeated frying in cooking oil and ghee increases oxidative stress and decreases their physicochemical and antioxidant qualities. Canola oil was comparatively more oxidative resistant than canola ghee. The regression equations derived from regression analysis will guide researchers to conduct similar types of univariate studies. 相似文献
The increasing use of heavy metals, dyes, and other metallic or chemical elements causes crucial environmental pollution. Sewage that contains these heavy metals and dyes is discharged into the atmosphere and goes directly into the food cycle, causing cancerous diseases and health deterioration in living organisms. The supreme concern of today’s research is to treat wastewater and effectively remove the hazardous dye molecules from aqueous media and other environmental matrices. Nowadays, technologies are applied to rectify organic and inorganic pollutants from sewage. Among them, adsorption is a fascinating way because it is environmentally friendly, feasible, and economical biomaterials. Chitosan (CS) as bio-sorbent is endowed with valuable characteristics, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, high reactivity, low-cost, and functional groups (–OH and NH2) on its surface. CS is used for many applications, either as a single component or composite form. The use of CS as bio-adsorbents is beneficial over regular adsorbents. Chitosan-based hydrogel is one of the very important bio-adsorbents. All these bio-adsorbents are highly used to eradicate toxic dyes, digest harmful industrial sewage, and eliminate pesticides, climatic hazardous waste, and contaminated materials from the environment.
