Estimation of break location and size for loss of coolant accidents using neural networks

In this work, a probabilistic neural network (PNN) that has been applied well to the classification problems is used in order to identify the break locations of loss of coolant accidents (LOCA) such as hot-leg, cold-leg and steam generator tubes. Also, a fuzzy neural network (FNN) is designed to estimate the break size. The inputs to PNN and FNN are time-integrated values obtained by integrating measurement signals during a short time interval after reactor scram. An automatic structure constructor for the fuzzy neural network automatically selects the input variables from the time-integrated values of many measured signals, and optimizes the number of rules and its related parameters. It is verified that the proposed algorithm identifies very well the break locations of LOCAs and also, estimate their break size accurately.     

Preparation of AZ91D Slurries for Semi-Solid Forming Using Al8 ( Mn, Fe) 5 Precipitates

During the solidification of the AZ91D-alloys, the Al8(Mn, Fe)5 phase is generally precipitated in the melt in advance of the precipitation of the primary α-Mg. The basic principle for manufacturing AZ91D-alloy slurries for semi solid forming is to use the Al8(Mn, Fe)5 precipitates as the heterogeneous nucleation sites for primary α-Mg phases. Microscopic analysis for the location of the Al8(Mn, Fe)5 precipitate explains that the Al8(Mn, Fe)5 precipitate is the effective heterogeneous nucleation site for the primary α-Mg phase. It was also observed that increase of the Mn content in the melt and the cooling rate below to the solid/liquid two-phase region resulted in smaller and more globular primary α-Mg due to the increase of heterogeneous nucleation sites. It was found that the average α-Mg diameter grew as a function of t0.278, where t is the holding time at the solid/liquid two-phase region. This would be attributed to the Ostwald type ripening and coalescence between primary α-Mg phases. The cooling rate below to the solid/liquid two-phase region, Mn content in AZ91D alloy, and the holding time and temperature affected on the quality of slurry.     

Properties of Magnetic Nanoparticles about Doped Rare Earth and Its Composites

The magnetic liquid was prepared with ferric salt by inorganic gel technology. The effect of the doped rare earth elements on the properties of magnetic particles was analyzed. The magnetic liquid was composed with clay mineral into magnetic mineral composites. The crystal structure and micro-morphology of the nanoparticles were studied by XRD and TEM. The results show that the crystal structure of the magnetic particles doped 0.5 % of lanthanum is more complete, and the magnetic response capability is higher with doping agent. At the same time, the possibility of the clay mineral magnetic composites as the carrier of target drug was probed.

A microcomputer-based system for processing 31-phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectra from studies of cardiac metabolism in immature hearts

We designed an interactive microcomputer-based digital data processing system for analysis of 31-phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) spectra from studies of cardiac metabolism in immature and neonatal hearts. This system included a digitizing tablet (Kurta Series Two), a microcomputer (IBM PC XT) and a graphics plotter (Hewlett-Packard 7470A) used in conjunction with a Nicolet 1280 NMR signal processing computer. We obtained 31P spectra from isolated perfused rabbit hearts with a Nicolet NT-200 4.7 Tesla superconducting NMR spectrometer operated in the pulsed Fourier transform mode. The small size of the hearts resulted in increased noise in spectra and demanded comparison of methods used to quantitate changes in inorganic phosphorus, phosphocreatine and ATP during ischemic stress. We performed microcomputer operations and interfacing functions with a software package written in BASIC. This system simplified documentation, data filing and statistical data processing. Our microcomputer system displayed and made hard copies of digitized spectra and results of analyses. Errors in data entry were rectified directly with this program. Consistent data reduction improved the precision of the physiological results and reduced the influence of noise on 31P spectra from neonatal hearts weighing about 0.5 g. The system flexibility extends its application to NMR spectra analysis for other in vivo organ systems, and signal processing in other biological research.

Multi‐surface sliding control for fast finite‐time leader–follower consensus with high order SISO uncertain nonlinear agents

In this paper, multi surface sliding cooperative control scheme is presented and new multiple sliding surfaces are proposed. It is proven that, for the setup that each agent is described by a chain of integrators, where the last integrator is perturbed by a bounded disturbance, leader–follower consensus can be achieved on these sliding surfaces if the communication graph has a directed spanning tree. Also, sliding variables can be driven to the sliding surfaces in fast finite time by the nonsmooth control law. The fast finite‐time Lyapunov stability theorem, the terminal sliding control technique, and the adding a power integrator design approach are used in our proposed control. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
