NANOCRYSTALLINE MATERIALS PROVIDE SUPERIOR MECHANICAL PROPERTIES COUPLED WITH IMPROVED WEAR AND CORROSION RESISTANCE. RESEARCHERS ARE DEMONSTRATING THE ABILITY TO DEVELOP A NUMBER OF NANOCRYSTALLINE MATERIALS USING PULSED REACTIVE ELECTRODES (PRE-EITHERIN THE FORM OF A ROD OR WIRE OR, IN SOME CASES, BRAIDED WIRES) SUBMERGED IN A REACTIVE OR NONREACTIVE DIELECTRIC FLUID. CONTROL OVER THE PROCESSING ...

RESEARCHERS ARE DEVELOPING AND DEMONSTRATING ADAPTABLE VIBRATION ANALYSIS SENSORS WHICH USE SPECIALIZED WEIGHTED-SENSITIVITY OPTICAL FIBER WAVEGUIDE STRUCTURES. SEVERAL METHODS TO CREATE THE NECESSARY SENSITIVITY VARIATIONS ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE WAVEGUIDE ARE SUGGESTED. EXTENSIONS OF THIS WORK TO FURTHER PERMIT THE REAL-TIME MODIFICATION OF SUCH SPATIAL FIBER SENSITIVITY PROFILES, AND HENCE THE ...

WHEN A BUSINESSMAN OR OTHER DECISION MAKER NEEDS AN ESTIMATE(SAY, OF SALES OF A NEW INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT) AND HE HAS AC- CESS TO RICH AND VARIEDINFORMATION BUT LIMITED RESOURCES HE NORMALLY MAKES HEAVY USE OF JUDGEMENT IN HIS ENQUIRY. PERSONALIST(BAYESIAN) STATISTICS PROVIDES A LOGICAL FRAME- WORK TO GUIDE THE USE OF SUCH JUDGMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY SAMPLE OR OTHER DATA. IN PARTICULAR, IT PRODU ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW GENERATION OF AGC-TYPE POWER SYSTEM MODELS/SIMULATORS. THE DEVELOPMENT WILL REQUIRE RECONSIDERATION OF MODEL COMPONENTS IN THE LIGHT OF TIME-SCALE SEPARATION METHODOLOGY, DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE TRANSMISSION PLANT THERMAL MODELS AND OF BUS VOLTAGE CONTROL DEVICE MODELS, AND DEVELOPMENTS IN NETWORK PROCESSING TECHNIQUES. THE RESULT WILL BE A PC-BASED AGC ...
