This paper reports on the use of tools that statically analyze rule-bases in order to detect logical errors, such as redundancy, inconsistency, and incompleteness. The analysis uses a variant of the KB-Reducer algorithm (Ginsberg 1991). In contrast to accounts of similar tools, which seldom describe tools as used in the field, the experience described in this paper is derived from using tools t...

Turbulent drag reduction induced by lambda-DNA is studied. The double-stranded DNA is found to be a good drag reducer when compared with the other normal linear polymers. However, this drag reducing power disappears when the DNA denatures to form two single-strand molecules. Mechanical degradation of DNA is also different from that of the normal linear-chain polymers: DNA is always cut in half ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Tbe doped Calcium alumino silicate (CaAl2Si2O8) phosphor was synthesized by combustion method at initiating temperature of 7000C, using urea as a reducer. XRD, Thermoluminescences, absorption spectra, FTIR and Thermoluminescences spectra were recor...

In recent years, intelligent conceptual design has become a focused attention to researchers since it appears important but difficult for system designs. This paper introduces a new concept, Extension Case Based Reasoning (ECBR), and presents the fundamental ideas of this theory, which originates from traditional case based reasoning theories. With extension information matter-elements (IFME), ...

The success criteria of the power plant are represented by EAF (Equivalent Availability Factor) value. In 2021, one causes Forced Outage (FO) at Adipala Steam Power Plant was failure main lube oil turbine pipe. sudden contraction reducer resulted in previous failure. Modifications were made to using a conical shape reduce number welding processes and minimize probability Therefore, study on mod...

The noise and vibration of a ring-plate pincycloid gear reducer driven by two motors are measured respectively at different rotational speeds and different loads. The data are collected and analyzed using the HEAD acoustics multi-channel noise test and analysis system. The ArtemiS is a set of analysis system for improving product quality in all areas of sound and vibration. From the frequency s...

Mechanisms for electron transport to Fe(III) were investigated in GS-15, a novel anaerobic microorganism which can obtain energy for growth by coupling the complete oxidation of organic acids or aromatic compounds to the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II). The results indicate that Fe(III) reduction proceeds through a type b cytochrome and a membrane-bound Fe(III) reductase which is distinct from t...

Stress has repeatedly been found to reduce the abilities of the immune system to fight against individual attacks. The current dissatisfaction with classical medications has led to more attention being focused on natural molecules. As recent studies have suggested that some bioactive molecules can have synergistic effects in stimulation of immune system and reduction of stress, we have evaluate...

The algorithms used for reduction of data obtained in a Fabry-Perot interferometer mode of the new focal reducer of the 6m telescope SCORPIO are described. The main attention is focused on the procedures of photometry correction of channels and night sky emission subtraction, which is especially important for observations with a CCD in comparison with a photon counter. The influence of various ...

The dissimilatory Fe(III) reducer Geobacter metallireducens reduced Fe(III) bound in humic substances, but the concentrations of Fe(III) in a wide range of highly purified humic substances were too low to account for a significant portion of the electron-accepting capacities of the humic substances. Furthermore, once reduced, the iron in humic substances could not transfer electrons to Fe(III) ...
