Alpha / Beta ABA - 005 High Throughput Screening of Samples Containing Alpha & Beta Radionuclides : an Overview of Methods by Jim

The growing need to quantitate alpha emitting radionuclides in the environment and in nuclear fuel processing and disposal has resulted in dramatic increases in gross alpha/gross beta measurements. In fact, gross alpha/gross beta counting has become the most widely used method of monitoring for the presence of radioactivity. Much of the interest is due to the need to address safety, regulatory ...

An Analysis of Alpha-Beta Priming'

The alpha-beta technique for searching game trees is analyzed, in an attempt to provide some insight into its behavior. The first portion o f this paper is an expository presentation o f the method together with a proof o f its correctness and a historical ch'scussion. The alpha-beta procedure is shown to be optimal in a certain sense, and bounds are obtained for its running time with various k...

Odor Source Identification by Grounding Linguistic Descriptions in an Artificial Nose

This paper addresses the problem of enabling autonomous agents (e.g., robots) to carry out human oriented tasks using an electronic nose. The nose consists of a combination of passive gas sensors with different selectivity, the outputs of which are fused together with an artificial neural network in order to recognize various human-determined odors. The basic idea is to ground human-provided li...
