This paper describes a system and underlying algorithms to perform geometric containment analysis to determine if a newly designed rotational part can be manufactured from a part in an existing database of rotational parts. Only material removal of the database part is considered in order to obtain the newly designed part from the database part. The system uses a three-step algorithm to test fo...

A programme of research into conflict (e.g. violence, absconding, medication refusal) and containment (e.g. seclusion, special observation, physical restraint) in inpatient psychiatry has been under way at City University, London, UK, for the past 10 years. Recent research findings, plus the challenges posed by ongoing projects, have made apparent the need for greater clarity about the overarch...

Urban containment policies, including urban growth boundaries, urban service boundaries and greenbelts, have been extensively discussed worldwide for managing urban growth. This paper focuses on the issues associated with supporting an urban containment plan and its application in China using a planning support system. The background is that the urban containment plan has been enacted as a new ...

Semantic caches, originally proposed for client-server database systems, are being recently deployed to accelerate the serving of dynamic web content by transparently caching data on edge servers. Such caches require fast query containment tests to determine if a new query is contained in the results of cached queries. Query containment checking algorithms have been studied in the context of qu...

Humid conditions are expected in the containment during severe LWR accidents. In these conditions steam can condense on the containment structures and on existing aerosol particles or new particles may be formed by water vapor nucleation. In this paper the relative importance of each of these phenomena is evaluated. A mechanistic approach (NAUA-HYGRDS code) by solving the aerosol General Dynami...
