This paper presents the EnArgus Project – a project which aims to make energy research funding more transparent and includes the use and development of an ontology. The structure of the paper is as follows: first, we will present the EnArgus project, its domain, and its main goals. Next, we will describe the domain-specific ontology which we developed for EnArgus. This will lead to a descriptio...

We report the results of recent measurements on the ASDBLR99, 00 and 01 concentrating on comparisons of measured intrinsic noise and input protection among the various fabricated parts. These are viewed as the only significant concerns remaining for the ASDBLR design. We believe that all TRT production criteria have been met and that a production layout can be implemented without further protot...

There are a number of techniques available to estimate saturated-liquid molar or specific volumes or densities of liquids. In this study, a new empirical correlation is presented to calculate volume of saturated liquids as a function of critical volume, reduced temperature and acentric factor. An optimization algorithm is utilized to obtain unknown parameters of this correlation by fitting them...

Plane wave propagation in infinite two-dimensional periodic lattices is investigated using Floquet-Bloch principles. Frequency bandgaps and spatial filtering phenomena are examined in four representative planar lattice topologies: hexagonal honeycomb, Kagomé lattice, triangular honeycomb, and the square honeycomb. These topologies exhibit dramatic differences in their long-wavelength deformatio...

The existing audio retrieval systems fall into one of two categories: single-domain systems that can accept data of only a single type (e.g. speech) or multiple-domain systems that offer content-based retrieval for multiple types of audio data. Since a single-domain system has limited applications, a multiple-domain system will be more useful. However, different types of audio data will have di...
