Special Issue on Structural and Thermo-Mechanical Analyses in Nuclear Fusion Reactors

Thermo-hydraulics of Nuclear Reactors

This book provides a concise and up-to-date summary of the essential thermo-hydraulic analyses and design principles of nuclear reactors for electricity generation. Beginning with the basic nuclear physics, it leads through technical and quantitative analyses to descriptions of both the normal operation of the various modern nuclear reactor designs and the analyses of the possible departures fr...

Preparation and Studies of Structural and Thermo-mechanical Aspects of Some Special Glasses and Glass-ceramics

Glasses and glass-ceramics (GCs) used for sealing, coating and high voltage applications belong to a special class of materials in which among other requirements, matching of thermal expansion coefficient with that of metal as closely as possible up to set temperature is an important consideration. In this paper I shall concentrate on some indigenous efforts carried out in my laboratory on the ...

Special Issue on Registration and Fusion of Range Images

This special issue contains nine high quality papers representative of the state-of-the art technologies used to acquire and process range image data. Following the call for papers, 23 manuscripts were received which were reviewed by a pool of 37 expert referees. We are thankful to these anonymous referees for their invaluable work which, as ever, is essential to maintain the high standards of ...

Special Issue on Towards Quality Data with Fusion and Cleaning

Web users increasingly treat the Web as a very large knowledge base and use it to acquire all kinds of knowledge. In this article, we introduce a method that leverages the information on the Web to determine the truthfulness of any statement that attempts to state a fact. This method accomplishes the goal by checking whether there is an alternative statement that is more likely to be truthful. ...
