The dipole moment of a wall-charged void is examined with reference to the spatial extent of the surface charge density /spl sigma/ and the distribution of this charge. The salient factors influencing the void dipole moment are also examined. From a study of spherical v...

Fatigue performance of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) primary circuit components and laboratory specimens depends on temperature. Temperature plays a particular role in environmental fatigue, but affects also generic fatigue evaluations. Historically, fatigue data was genera...

As burnouts grow increasingly common, the necessity for a model describing burnout dynamics becomes increasingly apparent. The model discussed in this paper builds on previous research by adding dreams, a component that has been shown to have an adaptive regulating effe...

Proof automation is a common bottleneck for industrial adoption of formal methods. In Event-B, a significant proportion of proof obligations which require human interaction fall into a family called invariant preservation . In this paper we show that a rewriting techniq...

This paper considers the design of low complexity FIR filters. Complexity is reduced by constraining the filters to have integer coefficients, which can be efficiently implemented using primitive operator directed graphs (PODG). Genetic algorithms (GAs) are used in conj...
