    approximate reasoning
    GC: n CT: International Journal of Approximate Reasoning is dedicated to the dissemination of research results from the field of approximate reasoning and its applications, with emphasis on the design and implementation of intelligent systems for scientific and engineering applications. Approximate reasoning is computational modeling of any part of the

    automated reasoning
    GC: n CT: Reasoning is the ability to make inferences, and automated reasoning is concerned with the building of computing systems that automate this process. Although the overall goal is to mechanize different forms of reasoning, the term has largely been identified with valid deductive reasoning as practiced in mathematics

    automatic speech recognition
    GC: n CT: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) can be defined as the independent, computer-driven transcription of spoken language into readable text in real time (Stuckless, 1994). In a nutshell, ASR is technology that allows a computer to identify the words that a person speaks into a microphone or telephone and

    backpropagation
    CG: n CT: These three interwoven processes—a loss function that tracks model error across different inputs, the backward propagation of that error to see how different parts of the network contribute to the error and the gradient descent algorithms that adjust model weights accordingly—are how deep learning models “learn.” As such,

    Bayesian network
    GC: n CT: A Bayesian network is a graphical model that encodes probabilistic relationships among variables of interest. When used in conjunction with statistical techniques, the graphical model has several advantages for data analysis. One, because the model encodes dependencies among all variables, it readily handles situations where some data

    dish concentrator
    GC: n CT: This project is investigating heat loss from high-temperature solar thermal receivers and developing the next generation of improved receiver designs to reduce that loss. Experimental and computational modelling are being used to improve the understanding, prediction and management of convection and radiation heat loss in high-temperature solar

    distributed energy resources
    CG: n CT: Distributed energy resources (DERs) are small technologies that produce, store and manage energy. Examples include solar panels, small wind turbines, electric vehicles and microgrids. Greater use of DERs could improve resource efficiency, increase energy system resilience, and give individuals and communities a stronger role in decarbonisation. As

    emission reduction
    GC: n CT: Any U.S. climate policy will have to be designed both to protect the earth’s climate by reducing emissions, and to protect American households from undue economic losses. Our model shows that these two objectives can almost be separated from each other. Roughly speaking, emission reduction depends on

    energy resources
    GC: n CT: At present there are four important energy resources: petroleum, coal, natural gas, and uranium-235. In the future oil shale and uranium-238 will probably join this list. On the demand side, the model specifies five demand categories: electricity, industrial heat, residential heat, and two transport categories. S: Brook

    forest residues
    GC: n CT: Forest residues consist of small trees, branches, tops and un-merchantable wood left in the forest after the cleaning, thinning or final felling of forest stands, used as fuel without any intermittent applications. Three main sources of forest residues can be distinguished: slash from final fellings, slash and

    gamma radiation
    GC: n CT: Gamma radiation is one of the three types of natural radioactivity. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays. The other two types of natural radioactivity are alpha and beta radiation, which are in the form of particles. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation,

    hazardous waste
    GC: n CT: Hazardous waste is waste that is dangerous or potentially harmful to our health or the environment. Hazardous wastes can be liquids, solids, gases, or sludges. They can be discarded commercial products, like cleaning fluids or pesticides, or the by-products of manufacturing processes. S: EPA – http://www.epa.gov/osw/hazard/ (last

    inert waste
    GC: n CT: Landfills are classified according to whether they can accept hazardous, non-hazardous or inert waste. This classification is integral to each landfill’s PPC permit/waste management licence. Therefore, in order to prevent the co-disposal of waste (banned since July 2004) and to comply with the waste licence as issued

    land clearing
    GC: n CT: Though the extreme rates of land clearing that placed Australia in the top 10 land clearing nations in the world have reduced over the past 5 years, we are still clearing much more native vegetation than is being replanted or that is regenerating naturally. This ongoing net

    municipal solid waste
    GC: n CT: Municipal solid waste (referred to simply as ‘municipal waste’ in this report) has been chosen in part because the 2008 Waste Framework Directive introduced a new 50 % recycling target for such waste. In addition, municipal waste is primarily a public sector responsibility and the current economic

    radar
    GC: n CT: Radar is an acronym for “radio detection and ranging.” A radar system usually operates in the ultra-high-frequency (UHF) or microwave part of the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum, and is used to detect the position and/or movement of objects. Radar can track storm systems, because precipitation reflects electromagnetic fields

    radiant energy
    GC: n CT: Radiant Energy. Atoms absorb energy from an outside source and release (or “emit”) this energy as electromagnetic radiation. This radiation can be in the form of waves of many different wavelengths or frequencies. Many energy sources emit radiant energy. The sun and other stars are luminous or

    radioactive decay
    GC: n CT: An idea to dispose of the waste underground in Antarctica sounded promising: heat from the radioactive decay would melt ice sheets below the waste, causing it to sink. But this plan was abandoned due to international treaties aimed at preserving the near pristine state of the continent.

Radioactive waste is produced in all EU countries and spent fuel in countries with nuclear power programmes and research reactors. While low and medium-level nuclear waste such as from medical equipment
