GC: n CT: A swamp is any wetland dominated by woody plants. There are many different kinds of swamps, ranging from the forested Red Maple, (Acer rubrum), swamps of the Northeast, to the extensive bottomland hardwood forests found along the sluggish rivers of the Southeast. Swamps are characterized by saturated
GC: n CT: A synchrotron is an extremely powerful source of X-rays. The X-rays are produced by high energy electrons as they circulate around the synchrotron. The entire world of synchrotron science depends on one physical phenomenon: When a moving electron changes direction, it emits energy. When the electron is
GC: n CT: Thoughtful leaders increasingly recognize that we are not only failing to solve the persistent problems we face, but are in fact causing them. From road building programs that actually increase traffic congestion to pathogens that evolve resistance to antibiotics to failed process improvement initiatives, our best efforts
GC: n CT: Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful systems. It focuses on defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete problem including operations, performance,
GC: n CT: It’s time to give your old tablet a new life by making into a mega remote that controls all of the smart devices in your home. Besides using it to control your streaming box or stick (like the Chromecast or Apple TV), your tablet is an ideal
GC: n CT: PROTECTED TAG EDITORS. A new generation of editors for HTML, XML or even SGML documents are the tag editors, equipped with translation memory functionality. These tools enable translators to work in the HTML source, with only the relevant markup visible to translators. A translation memory engine keeps
CG: n CT: The taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia
GC: n CT: The most radical prediction of science fiction is the technological singularity. As author and mathematician Vernor Vinge put it in his 1993 essay The Coming Technological Singularity, “Within 30 years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be
CG: n CT: The future of teleworking: A place-based toolkit for local development. This project aims to support national, regional and local governments of the OECD in promoting a smooth transition to the likely large-scale and enduring use of teleworking conducive to sustainable social and economic local development. This project
GC: n CT: A terawatt (TW) is a decimal multiple of the derived unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) watt, which is defined as one joule per second. Power measures the rate of energy conversion or the rate at which work is done. One watt is
GC: n CT: Nowadays, closely linked to terminology and its practice (terminography), thta is to say, to terminology in its wider sense, we can also find “Terminotics” (see section 5.2) and all the benefits and advantages it entails for studies like the one presented here, so dependent on computer-aided tools.
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.
