In a language-deficient domain such as buoyancy, students generally find it difficult to explain phenomena that daily saturate their lives such as sinking and floating. To address this problem, we propose a simple and object-related articulation and reflection tool which is embedded in the BSL System (B stands for Body while S and L are for String and Liquid respectively). An analysis of the fi...

The assessment of Steam Generator (SG) tubes integrity is a challenging task with respect to the numerous degradation mechanisms observed worldwide and to the number of tubes in service. In the framework of extended cycles and optimization of their maintenance programs, utilities may revise their technical specifications for SG inspections. These revisions and other current SG safety related is...

Construction of tool system for testing dynamic knowledge base of intelligence system (IS) of dynamic object (DO) behavior analysis and forecast is discussed. The system provides generation of environment and dynamics of floating DO-environment interaction in various operation conditions. Results of imitating experiment are given.

In this work a temperature predictor has been designed. The prediction is made by an artificial neural network multilayer perceptron. Initially, the floating point algorithm was evaluated. Afterwards, the fixed point algorithm was designed on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The architecture was fully parallelized and a maximum delay of 74 ns was obtained. The design tool used is System ...
