Online Monitoring And Accident Diagnosis Aid System For The Nur Nuclear Research Reactor, Amina Nasrine Allalou, Mohamed Tadjine, Mohamed Seghir Boucherit
Online Monitoring And Accident Diagnosis Aid System For The Nur Nuclear Research Reactor, Amina Nasrine Allalou, Mohamed Tadjine, Mohamed Seghir Boucherit
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper deals with the design of a computerized monitoring and diagnosis aid system (CMDAS) for the Nur Nuclear Research Reactor based on real-time plant-specific safety parameters. The CMDAS carries out early detection and identification of accidents that might affect this reactor using supervised neural networks. The graphical programming language LabVIEW is used for creating a human--operator interface, networking, embedding the diagnosis procedure, and handling and storing the data. The methodology presented in this paper can be adapted for any nuclear research reactor.

The purpose of this project is to evaluate if technological advances and implementation of automation have produced a decrease in the number and severity of accidents in commercial aviation over the last decade. To accomplish this evaluation historical commercial aviation accident data from 2000 to 2010 will be examined. Commercial fixed wing and rotary wing data will be evaluated. No aviation incident data will be collected; the project will be limited in scope to commercial aviation accidents. Accidents highlighting major deficiencies involving automation will be discussed in detail. To further support the projects purpose, emphasis will be given to evaluate …

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for joint adaptation of transmission power and contention window to improve the performance of vehicular network in a cross layer approach. The high mobility of vehicles in vehicular communication results in the change in topology of the Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) dynamically, and the communication link between two vehicles might remain active only for short duration of time. In order for VANET to make a connection for long time and to mitigate adverse effects due to high and fixed transmission power, the proposed algorithm adapts transmission power dynamically based on estimated local traffic …
