Yet Another Real-Time Specification for the Steam Boiler: Local Clocks to Statically Measure Systems Performance

In this paper we apply a new real-time modeling to the well-known Steam Boiler case study. The novelty of our approach is in explicitly representing the various system components, i. e. hardware sensors, software controllers and so on, with separate local clocks. The aim of our approach is to be able to statically analyze the global system speciication taking into account the relative speed of ...

Boiler Design Procedure Geothermal Boiler Design Procedure

A concept of "Fractal Fracture Mechanics" for HDR .(Hot Dry Rock) geothermal reservoir design has been developed as an extension of conventional rock fracture mechanics. It is suggested that this concept is successfully applicable to characterize and model subsurface fracture network in HDR geothermal reservoir. Furthermore, this modeling procedure makes it possible to evaluate the thermal ener...

Mysterious Marriage

And Mysterious

" I think you might do something better with the time " , Alice said, " than wasting it in asking riddles that have no answer "-from A Mad Tea-Party Abstract. First year undergraduates usually learn about the classical Rolle's theorem saying that between two consecutive zeros of a smooth function f one can always find at least one zero of f ′. But what happens with the zeros of higher derivativ...

Mysterious origins

A survey of 2 006 U.S. adults last year revealed that 48 % believe the earliest humans lived at the time of the dinosaurs. This survey is often cited as evidence of Americans’ dismal understanding of science. But earlier this year, a television program from the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) told those muddled masses that they could well be right. The program, called The Mysterious Origins...
