Buried or inaccessible piping systems within Nuclear Power plants present a challenge in terms of overall inspection. Limited access and complex piping configurations restrict the type of indirect or direct NDE methodologies which can be applied by inspectors. Due to the complexity of buried and above-grade piping systems routed in and around these facilities, many plants have been forced to lo...

this paper is concerned with asphaltene deposition in fluid flowing through pipelines. brownian diffusion and drag, gravitational, thermophoresis, buoyancy, and shear removal are considered as possible mechanisms in the asphaltene deposition process. the thermo-physical properties of the fluid were obtained from iranian oil fields. a model was used in the pipeline deposition modeling to predict...

Underground Pipe Line Systems are indispensable in urban construction,as there are various pipelines and these pipelines usually distribute in special environment, they need higher requests to management and maintenance. As so far, although there are many pipelines systems are used in many city, but these systems can’t satisfy operation needs to pipeline management, and systems develop model is...

Permanent magnet wall-climbing robots are widely used in the maintenance of tanks petrochemical industry and overhaul large-pressure pipelines hydropower industry. One difficulties is to achieve safe reliable adsorption robots. Based on Halbach array, a double-layer superposition magnetic circuit magnetization method designed this paper. Under same constraints, force permanent chuck increased b...

The localisation industry makes strong use of language processing pipelines at the core of its bulk localisation workflows, where software text and technical manuals are translated into the languages of target markets. Natural language technologies such as machine translation and text analytics are now maturing to a stage where they are being adopted as components in these workflows. However, t...

Pharmaceutical companies are facing several major interrelated challenges, the most strategic being the decline in R&D productivity resulting in empty product pipelines to replace products nearing patent expiry. A common response has been mergers and acquisition of competitors and biotechnology firms, but rather than resolving the problems, this has created new ones. While biotechnology promise...

In a circuit environment that is becoming increasingly sensitive to dynamic power dissipation and noise, and where cycle time available for control decisions continues to decrease, locality principles are becoming paramount in controlling advancement of data through pipelined systems. Achieving fine grained power down and progressive pipeline stalls at the local stage level is therefore becomin...

Processing of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data requires significant technical skills, involving installation, configuration, and execution of bioinformatics data pipelines, in addition to specialized postanalysis visualization and data mining software. In order to address some of these challenges, developers have leveraged virtualization containers toward seamless deployment of preconfigur...
