In contrast to the prismatic fuel, the coated particles are homogeneously distributed within the spherical fuel matrix, which acts as the moderator. There are two generic concepts for pebble bed reactors in terms of refueling.... Another type is the once through then out(OTTO) concept where the pebbles only perform one passage through the core. For the on-line refueling designs, the pebbles are circulated by gravity in the core, which is surrounded by a graphite reflector and pneumatically transported in the fuel handling system.

Cœur à boulets [...] Les promoteurs de ce genre de réacteur [THTR 300] ont imaginé une simplification du système de manutention, qui consiste à faire passer chaque boulet une seule fois dans le cœur (variante OTTO ou once through then out). Il suffit alors de recueillir, dans une sorte de pondoir, les boulets usagés, mais si l'on gagne en simplicité du système, la combustion massique du combustible déchargé n'est plus uniforme et l'utilisation du combustible n'est donc pas optimale.

The Astro/PGBA [Astro/plant generic bioprocessing apparatus] experiment hardware is contained in a double locker that will be installed into the EXPRESS Rack after the Shuttle is in orbit. The hardware consists of a plant growth chamber with a 10-inch by 12-inch growth area that allows 10 inches of plant height and 2 inches of roots. Fluorescent or LEO lighting will simulate sunlight, and an atmospheric control system will maintain set levels of carbon dioxide and humidity while scrubbing volatile organic compounds, such as ethylene, that can accumulate and inhibit plant growth. Plant transpiration water, collected from a dehumidifier system, can be recirculated back into the root matrix. A computer system will control experiment operations and provide engineering and video data for downlink to investigators on the ground.

DEF

A support material possessing magnetic properties.

CONT

An immobilized enzyme system is the material which results from immobilization of an enzyme onto a support matrix. Magnetic support matrices and immobilized enzyme systems offer several advantages when compared to nonmagnetic systems. For example, separation of such materials from other nonmagnetic solids by use of a magnetic field can permit separations otherwise difficult or impossible to perform. Such a situation is represented by the case where two enzymes, with different deactivation times, are used concurrently on a substrate, with one immobilized enzyme system magnetic and the other nonmagnetic. In this case, after one enzyme is exhausted, the other may be readily recovered and reused by magnetic separation of the two immobilized enzyme systems, which will be recognized as offering great benefits in economy.

A careful balance is needed between the amount of rosin required to provide sufficient biocide release and the quantity of the other film-forming components used to make the coating tough and durable. As the rosin content increases the binder system becomes softer and more soluble in seawater whereas a low rosin content makes the binder system virtually insoluble and hard. Antifoulings which are softer and more soluble are known as “controlled depletion polymer”(CDP) or soluble matrix antifoulings, whereas the hard types are known as insoluble matrix or “contact leaching” antifoulings.

Two kinds of TBT-containing paints are known. Free-association paint, made by mixing TBT into the paint, dissolves when it contacts water. All of the TBT is leached out from the paint in 12-24 months. In copolymer paint, the TBT is bound to the paint and slowly releases with water movement, and is effective for five to six years ...

CONT

Historically, tributyltin(TBT) free-association paints were used. Free association paints are where the active ingredients are dispersed in a resinous matrix and from which they can slowly leach. This type of paint system has been the basis of most traditional antifouling paints... It is difficult to control the rate of release of biocides from a free-association paint system so as to provide a constant leaching level. Paints containing freely associated biocides such as copper compounds and TBT, can give rise to high initial concentrations of biocides in the marine environment.

Water Potential is defined as the potential energy of water per unit mass of water in the system.

Osmotic potential depends on the concentration of dissolved substance in the water. Pressure potential depends on the hydrostatic or pneumatic pressure on the water.

DEF

The ratio of the applied excitation force phasor to the resulting velocity phasor with all other connection points of the system free, i. e. having zero restraining forces. Free impedance is the arithmetic reciprocal of a single element of the mobility matrix.

OBS

Historically, often no distinction has been made between blocked impedance and free impedance. Caution should, therefore, be exercised in interpreting published data. While experimentally determined free impedances could be assembled into a matrix, this matrix would be quite different from the blocked impedance matrix, resulting from mathematical modelling of the structure and, therefore, would not conform to the requirements for using mechanical impedance in a overall theoretical analysis of the system.

  • Acoustique (Physique)
DEF

Rapport du vecteur tournant de la force d'excitation au vecteur tournant de la vitesse résultante, tous les autres points de connexion du système étant libres, c'est-à-dire ayant des forces de contrainte nulle. L'impédance libre est l'inverse arithmétique d'un élément unique de la matrice de mobilité.

OBS

Par le passé, on a rarement fait la distinction entre impédance bloquée et impédance libre. Il faudrait donc faire attention lorsqu'on interprète les données publiées. Alors que les impédances libres déterminées expérimentalement pourraient être regroupées en une matrice, celle-ci serait tout à fait différente de la matrice d'impédance bloquée résultant de la modélisation mathématique de la structure et ne serait donc pas conforme aux exigences portant sur l'utilisation de l'impédance mécanique dans une analyse théorique globale du système.

For diagnosis, the system simply updates the probabilities in the student's matrix with methods from probability theory. When problem classes occur for the first time, ad hoc heuristics generate a seed probability. Kimball claims that the probabilistic approach allows precise measurements of student learning revealing its discontinuities. He suggests that the identification of these discontinuities, which are apparently associated with failures, is an important pedagogical task. Kimball goes into a lengthy technical argument to support the applicability of his probabilistic approach to modeling the student, mainly from the standpoint of independence of the probabilities associated with the various approaches. Many of his concerns actually apply to other modular representations, such as rule-based ones, used more recently for student modeling.
