A high-energy carbon-ion radiotherapy facility is under construction at Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Centre (GHMC). Its design was based on a study of the heavy ion radiotherapy at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) in order to reduce the size and construction cost of the facility. A compact electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) for Gunma University, called K...

The Research Services Branch plans and coordinates new facilities for the Institute, operates and maintains existing facilities and provides other support functions including centralized glassware and media preparation; instrumentation development and maintenance; arts, graphics and photography; space management; security; landscaping and grounds maintenance and janitorial. Facilities NIEHS is ...

one of the most effective tools for decline cost and time, quality improvement and consequently project performance enhancement especially in construction projects, is value engineering. there are linguistic judgments in many cases of value engineering studies in construction projects such as interior design, mechanical installations design, and etc. therefore multiple attribute decision-making...

This paper reports on a laboratory study that uses Virtual Design Construction (VDC) modeling and Extreme Collaboration (XC) for early phase building project design. The process creates a specific project ontology that forms the initial design of a building project. Our project ontology explicitly represents the functional requirements, designed forms, and predicted and observed behaviors of th...

We formalize a multidisciplinary project model as a directed acyclic graph of dependencies between representations. For the nodes of this graph, we formalize a generic representation, called a “perspective,” which contains “features” that describe the design for a specific task. These features contain data types such as 3D surfaces, lines, and points, as well as relationships to other features....

All the ITER superconductors are tested as short length samples in the SULTAN test facility at CRPP. Eighteen TF conductor samples with small layout variations were tested since February 2007 with the aim of verification of the design and qualification of the manufacturers. The sample assembly and the measurement techniques at CRPP are discussed. Starting in 2010, another test facility for ITER...
