In this paper we introduce the SpeakCorrect system which is a Computer Aided Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system for native Arabic students of English. The system is designed with optimized performance for the target users group. It is L1 dependent system and only the frequent pronunciation errors of native Arabic speakers are examined. Several adaptation techniques such as Speaker Adaptive Tr...

The deuterium-tritium (D-T) and deuterium-deuterium neutron yield ratio in cryogenic inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments is used to examine multifluid effects, traditionally not included in ICF modeling. This ratio has been measured for ignition-scalable direct-drive cryogenic DT implosions at the Omega Laser Facility [T. R. Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, 495 (1997)OPCOB80030-401810...

So far 22 criticality accidents have been reported (McLaughlin et al., 2000) including JCO accident in Japan. All cases took place with fuel solution or slurry except one case of metal fuel. It was not clear that what was actually happening during those criticality accidents except the JCO accident, for which a fission power profile was reproduced from a gammaray monitoring data (Tonoike et al....

The depletion of fossil fuel diverts us to the use of renewable resources as the supplement for fuel. Solar, hydroelectric power and microbial system are known to be abundant renewable resources for fuel production. Hydrogen has a energy yield of 122 kJ/g, which is 2.75 times greater than hydrocarbon fuels (Kapdan & Kargi, 2006). Hydrogen together with oxygen is the key element in the biologica...

Hydrogen induction strategy in ICE plays a vital role in increasing the power density and prohibiting combustion anomalies. This paper inspects the performance characteristics of cylinder hydrogen fueled engine with port injection feeding strategy (PIH2ICE). To that end, a one dimensional gas dynamic model has been built to represent the flow and heat transfer in the components of the engine. T...

The only significant development of the AUS system has been an extension.of the available cross-sections. That portion of the ENDF/B V data files which is unrestricted has been acquired from the IAEA Nuclear Data Section and the data processed for the AUS.ENDF2006 group library as required. In particular, a large set of fission product data has been processtid, sufficient for calculations of bo...

In 1963, a series of elegant studies conducted by Randle et al. (1) examined the preference for fuel selection by cardiac and skeletal muscle that allowed these tissues to readily switch from glucose to fatty acid oxidation in the face of increased fatty acid availability. These seminal studies paved the way for a generation of research on mechanisms underlying preference for fuel selection in ...

13th Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference Monash University, Melbourne, Australia 13-18 December 1998 Experiments which visualise the fuel-mixture-fraction for different types of fuel injectors considered for use in supersonic combustors are described. The flowfields of two different fuel injectors are compared in a qualitative manner. INTRODUCTION Successful development of a supersonic comb...
