Calculations of total reactor size have been made for the over bed combustion region of an incinerator, for a given area firing rate, assuming a variation in the completeness of reaction (conversion) "in the stirred section. As conversion increases, the overall reactor size drops to a minimum at 85 percen t con­ version and then rises again. At this minimum, the overbed heigh t required was cal...

Using Penning-trap experiments and a shell-correction method incorporating ellipsoidal shape deformations, we investigate the formation and stability patterns of trianionic gold clusters. Theory and experiment are in remarkable agreement concerning appearance sizes and electronic shell effects. In contrast to multiply cationic clusters, decay of the trianionic gold clusters occurs primarily via...

In order to develop prediction instruments that have sufficient predictive power, it is essential to understand the specific domain the prediction instrument is developed for. This domain analysis is especially important for domains where human behavior, politics, or other soft factors play a role. If these are not well understood, the predictive power of the prediction instrument would be seve...

This paper presents a novel nonlocal language model which utilizes contextual information. A reduced vector space model calculated from co-occurrences of word pairs provides word co-occurrence vectors. The sum of word cooccurrence vectors represents the context of a document, and the cosine similarity between the context vector and the word co-occurrence vectors represents the long-distance lex...

The authors have presented a unique theory. I firmly be­ lieve that the public wants a system such as the authors have described; the perfect system would take garbage in, and produce several streams of valuable byproducts while emit­ ting little, if any, pollution streams. The authors cite some prototype testing at Fondotoce, Italy. However, the paper gives the impression that perhaps not all ...

We describe an envisionment-based qualitative simulation program. The program implements part of an axiomatic, rst order theory that has been developed to represent and reason about space and time. Topological information from the modelled domain is expressed as sets of distinct topological relations holding between sets of objects. These form the qualitative states in the underlying theory and...

Data from the Social Security Administration’s Continuous Worlc-History Sample have been atudied to determine the relationah%p between a retiree’s work expencnce and the decision to claim a reduced social security benefit. The study focuffea on the diflerenres In prcentitlement work experience for men aged 62 and those aged 65. Most men who became entitled in 1970 elected reduced benefits payab...
