GC: n CT: Text categorization (also known as text classification, or topic spotting) is the task of automatically sorting a set of documents into categories from a predefined set. This task has several applications, including automated indexing of scientific arti- cles according to predefined thesauri of technical terms, filing patents
GC: n CT: SuperSILO is one of the leading European companies manufacturing textile silos for biomass and the industry in general. Its environmental awareness in the renewable energy sector, together with its broad experience in the biomass market, makes SuperSILO an experienced and serious company that is responsible with regard
GC: n CT: Heat transfer by conduction involves transfer of energy within a material without any motion of the material as a whole. The rate of heat transfer depends upon the temperature gradient and the thermal conductivity of the material. Thermal conductivity is a reasonably straightforward concept when you are
GC: n CT: As the name implies, thermal inertia represents the ability of a material to conduct and store heat, and in the context of planetary science, it is a measure of the subsurface’s ability to store heat during the day and reradiate it during the night. While compositional differences
GC: n CT: The term thermal insulation can refer either to materials used to reduce the rate of heat transfer, or the methods and processes used to reduce heat transfer. Heat energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, radiation. Thermal insulation prevents heat from escaping a container or from entering
GC: n CT: Thermal power plants use water as working fluid. Nuclear and coal based power plants fall under this category. The way energy from fuel gets transformed into electricity forms the working of a power plant. In a thermal power plant a steam turbine is rotated with help of
GC: n CT: A new type of thermodynamic cycle originating from extended application of the heat pipe principle is proposed and its thermal cycle is discussed from the viewpoint of theoretical thermal efficiency and Coefficient of Performance (COP). An idealized structure that will meet the basic function for thermal systems
GC: n CT: This research presents useful insights into making decisions regarding the thermosyphon heat transfer system between the nuclear reactor and chemical plant. Developing very high-temperature reactor technologies for producing electricity, hydrogen, and other energy products is a high priority for a successful national energy future. S: INL –
GC: n CT: Thesauri are arranged in tree-like structures called hierarchies. A hierarchical structure allows terms to be logically organized so users can easily browse the more general concepts, and can “drill down” from concepts of interest to find more specific concepts. Thesauri also store additional information about each term
GC: n CT: There are currently no tidal barrages in the UK. The most promising site in the UK would be across the Severn estuary. A barrage across the Severn estuary could supply up to 5% of the UK’s electricity requirements. However, this would also be very expensive to construct.
GC: n CT: What is Tidal Energy? Tidal energy is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of the tides into electricity or other useful forms of power. The tide is created by the gravitational effect of the sun and the moon on the earth causing cyclical movement of
GC: n CT: The tidal power plant at the Rance River estuary in Brittany, France, uses a barrage. It was built in 1966 and is still functioning. The plant uses two sources of energy: tidal energy from the English Channel and river current energy from the Rance River. The barrage
GC: n CT: The range of the tides is the difference in sea level between high and low tides. Spring tide, having the maximum range, occurs during the full moon when the earth is between the moon and the sun, and new moon when the moon is between the earth
GC: n CT: Work is to begin on the largest tidal turbine energy project in Europe after the Scottish government approved it. MeyGen is to install the tidal array in stages in the Pentland Firth, between Orkney and the Scottish mainland. It will begin with a 9MW demonstration project of
GC: n CT: For 30 years or so, scientists have been trying to find the right shape for the magnetic container and how to make it. The front-runner among confinement systems at the moment is the so-called tokamak -derived from the Russian acronym for toroidal magnetic chamber. Tokamak is the
GC: n CT: Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. This animation shows how energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity. Wind turbines are mounted on a tower to
GC: n CT: According to ISO, the term traceability describes the possibility of tracing production, use or location of a certain element. For final products this can cover the origin of material and parts, as well as the production history. Traceability does not only cover the basic requirement that products
GC: n CT: The production of biodiesel, or alkyl esters, is well known. There are three basic routes to ester production from oils and fats: Base catalyzed transesterification of the oil with alcohol. Direct acid catalyzed esterification of the oil with methanol. Conversion of the oil to fatty acids, and
GC: n CT: A translation memory is a linguistic database that continually captures your translations as you work for future use. All previous translations are accumulated within the translation memory (in source and target language pairs called translation units) and reused so that you never have to translate the same

E-ZPass is operational on the entire Massachusetts Turnpike including the Sumner and Ted Williams Tunnels, and on the Tobin Memorial Bridge. Where can I use E-ZPass? E-ZPass provides customers with electronic toll collection through the
GC: n CT: This white paper provides a general introduction to telecommunications transport networks, which are the backbone of the modern telephone and Internet infrastructure. The paper examines them in the context of geographical classification, and functional layer classification. The paper includes a brief look at broadband access technologies, since
