Energy Extraction from a Slider-Crank Wave Energy Converter under Irregular Wave Conditions

A slider-crank wave energy converter (WEC) is a novel energy conversion device. It converts wave energy into electricity at a relatively high efficiency, and it features a simple structure. Past analysis on this particular WEC has been done under regular sinusoidal wave conditions, and suboptimal energy could be achieved. This paper presents the analysis of the system under irregular wave conditions; a time-domain hydrodynamics model is adopted and a rule-based control methodology is introduced to better serve the irregular wave conditions. Results from the simulations show that the performance of the system under irregular wave conditions is different from that under regular sinusoidal wave conditions, but a reasonable amount of energy can still be extracted.

Using Time Evolution of the Bunch Structure to Extract the Muon Momentum Distribution in the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment

Beam dynamics plays an important role in achieving the unprecedented precision on measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment in the Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment. It needs to find the muon momentum distribution in the storage ring in order to evaluate the electric field correction to muon anomalous precession frequency. We will show how to use time evolution of the beam bunch structure to extract the muon momentum distribution by applying a fast rotation analysis on the decay electron signals.

REDTOP Beam Modeling for Raised Transition Energy and Third Integer Resonance Extraction

To explore physics beyond the Standard Model, the experiment called Rare Eta Decays with a TPC for Optical Photons (REDTOP) is in its proposal stage at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory to study η decays. The existing delivery ring will destabilize the beam as it is decelerated for REDTOP’s use, so modifications to the magnet arrangement have been proposed and must be simulated.This work focused on using MAD-X to model the introduction of new quadrupoles and sextupoles to raise the transition energy and shape the beam for extraction.

Rigid stiffener-reinforced flexible neural probes, and methods of fabrication using wicking channel-distributed adhesives and tissue insertion and extraction

A stiffener-reinforced microelectrode array probe and fabrication method using wicking channel-distributed adhesives which temporarily adheres a flexible device onto a rigid stiffener for insertion and extraction. Assembly is by dispensing a liquid adhesive into a narrow open groove wicking channel formed on the stiffener so that the adhesive is wicked along and tills the channel by capillary action, and adhering the adhesive-filled bonding side of the elongated section of the rigid substrate to a flexible device.

Reduction-oxidation of actinides extraction process (ROANEX) for used nuclear fuel recycling

The invention relates to the ROANEX method, which extracts actinides from used nuclear fuel in a single purification cycle. The used nuclear fuel contains actinides, U, Am, Pu, Np. and Cm, and fission products, Cs, Sr and Tc. The fission products are separated first from the used nuclear fuel. The actinides are reduced to their lowest oxidation states and then oxidized to their highest oxidations states. Uranium, Pu and Np move to an organic phase solution and Am and Cm move to a nitrate solution. Uranium, Pu, and Np are stripped from the organic phase solution, and then treated with an oxalic acid to form a precipitate. Americium and Cm are treated with a potassium carbonate solution and Am precipitates. Actinides Am, U, Pu, and Np precipitates are heated in an oven and then blended together to form a mixed oxide fuel of UO2, PuO2, NpO2 and AmO2.

Method for lithium extraction via ion exchange

Methods for extracting lithium from solutions containing lithium ions via reversible cation exchange with H+ are provided. The methods utilize metal oxide or metalloid oxide cation exchange materials having an active sublattice that preferentially bind Li+ cations, relative to both H+ and Na+, in a sample solution and preferentially bind H+, relative to Li+, in an acidic solution.

Figure Descriptive Text Extraction Using Ontological Representation

Abstract Experimental research publications provide figure form resources including graphs, charts, and any type of images to effectively support and convey methods and results. To describe figures, authors add captions, which are often incomplete, and more descriptions reside in body text. This work presents a method to extract figure descriptive text from the body of scientific articles. We adopted ontological semantics to aid concept recognition of figure-related information, which generates human- and machine-readable knowledge representations from sentences. Our results show that conceptual models bring an improvement in figure descriptive sentence classification over word-based approaches.

F2 extraction from Inclusive Cross Section Data at Large Bjorken x

While we have made significant progress in probing nuclear structure at low Bjorken x and high Q 2 , we still have gaps in our knowledge regarding the high Bjorken x and intermediate Q 2 kinematic region. This is not an accident, but instead due to the diffculty in assessing the non-perturbative region of nuclear physics. For this reason, the E12-10-002 experiment measured the H(e,e') and D(e,e') inclusive cross section in the resonance region. This will allow us to study both perturbative and non-perturbative physics in a kinematic region that lacks precision measurements. Measurements were made up to a Bjorken x of 0.99 and Q 2 up to 17 GeV 2 . These measurements are made using the independent HMS and SHMS spectrometers at the upgraded beam energy of 11 GeV in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. Further, we extract F 2 structure functions from the measured data and study the effect of their inclusion in a global Parton Distribution Function analysis.
