Nuclear engineering workforce in the United States

Nuclear engineers commonly work in the disciplines of NE, nuclear security, and nuclear criticality safety, as defined later.NE has significant overlap with health physics and medical physics (described in Chapters 2 and 3, respectively) an...

The professionalization of nuclear engineering

Neutrons and Nuclear Engineering

Oak Ridge National Laboratory hosted two workshops in April 2007 relevant to nuclear engineering education. In the Neutron Stress, Texture, and Phase Transformation for Industry workshop [http://neutrons.ornl.gov/workshops/nst2/], several i...

Quantum Physics and Nuclear Engineering

The conference brings together researchers working on mathematical foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing, and related areas, with a focus on structural perspectives and the use of logical tools, ordered algebraic and category-th...

Blind Dual Watermarking Scheme Using Stucki Kernel and SPIHT for Image Self-Recovery

In this paper we propose a blind dual watermarking scheme using Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) and Stucki Kernel halftone technique for the tamper detection and image self-recovery. The watermark consists of authentication b...

A novel generalized sliding mode controller for uncertain robot manipulators based on motion constraints

To improve the trajectory tracking performance and robustness for uncertain robot manipulators, a generalized sliding mode controller (GSMC) including an ideal controller and a continuous sliding mode controller (SMC) is proposed from the s...

Numerical Simulations of the Lunar Penetrating Radar and Investigations of the Geological Structures of the Lunar Regolith Layer at the Chang’E 3 Landing Site

In the process of lunar exploration, and specifically when studying lunar surface structure and thickness, the established lunar regolith model is usually a uniform and ideal structural model, which is not well-suited to describe the real s...

Delay-Dependent H∞ Control for Singular Markovian Jump Systems With Generally Uncertain Transition Rates

This article is devoted to the problem of H control for a class of singular Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay and generally uncertain transition rates, which means each transition rate is completely unknown or only its estimate...

Investigation of particle exhaust from EAST divertor

Particle control is one of the key issues for steady-state tokamak operation. The density decay time is used to evaluate the capability of the divertor to exhaust particle with all fueling turn off. Experiments of the EAST divertor's abilit...

Improving die tooling properties by spraying TiC-Ti-Al and TiB2-Ti-Al electro-explosive coatings

This article describes increasing wear resistance of 5CrNiMo die steel by more than 5 times. This effect is achieved by creating TiC-Ti-Al and TiB _2 -Ti-Al coatings on the surface of 5CrNiMo die steel. The microhardness of the formed coati...

Feature Selection and Rule Generation Integrated Learning for Takagi-Sugeno-Kang Fuzzy System and its Application in Medical Data Classification

The rule-based fuzzy systems have successfully applied for numerous medical data classification problems. However, structuring the concise and interpretable fuzzy rules with good classification performance is still a big challenge. To addre...

GO supported Fe doped Ni(OH)2 hexagonal nanosheets for hydrogen evolution reaction in neutral electrolytes

Exploiting non-noble metals catalysts with excellent performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has aroused gigantic interest, but still challenges. Herein, we reported the graphene oxide (GO) supported Fe doped Ni(OH) _2 hexagonal n...

Nuclear Engineering

Human beings have engaged in some form of “materials engineering” since the beginning of life on Earth. We have even named eras after the materials that were predominantly used in those historic times (e.g., Stone Age, Bronze Age). However,...

Identification and evaluation of the effective criteria for detection of congestion in a smart city

Abstract The delay in transportation of necessary items is due to traffic congestion throughout the world. This is a serious phenomenon which results in waste of time and fuel. The detection of road conditions and dissemination of traffic i...

Experimental study on the impact of sulfate attack on the performance of shaft lining concrete under sustained compressive load

To investigate the impact of sulfate corrosion on the performance of shaft lining concrete under sustained compressive loads, this study immersed samples in a 10 % sodium sulfate solution after subjecting to sustained compressive loads of 0...
