FLINS, initially an acronym for Fuzzy common sense and clever applied sciences in Nuclear technological know-how, is now prolonged to utilized man made Intelligence for utilized learn. The contributions to the 7th within the sequence of FLINS meetings contained during this quantity hide state of the art learn and improvement in utilized synthetic intelligence for utilized study quite often and for power/nuclear engineering specifically.

Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Nuclear Systems

Warmth move and Fluid in move Nuclear structures discusses issues that bridge the space among the elemental ideas and the designed practices. The booklet is produced from six chapters that hide research of the predicting thermal-hydraulics functionality of huge nuclear reactors and linked heat-exchangers or steam turbines of assorted nuclear structures.

The Nuclear Receptor Facts: Book

The FactsBook sequence has confirmed itself because the most sensible resource of simply obtainable and actual evidence approximately protein teams. They use an easy-to-follow structure and are researched and compiled by means of specialists within the box. This Factsbook is dedicated to nuclear receptors. the 1st part provides an creation and describes the mode of motion of the receptors in most cases.

Fukushima: Impacts and Implications

The Fukushima nuclear catastrophe in March 2011 led Japan, and plenty of different nations, to alter their power guidelines. David Elliott stories the catastrophe and its worldwide implications, asking no matter if, regardless of persisted backing via a few governments, the starting to be competition to nuclear strength ability the top of the worldwide nuclear renaissance.

The scaling function proposed in [1] and [5] can concentrate/dilate the MFs around a single point (a sort of center of gravity), that can be either the center of the universe or one of the two extremes. In [4], the authors propose a more general scaling function, that is a linear composition of sigmoidal-like functions. These two approaches have some limits: the former allows concentrating/dilating the universes around only three predefined points, while the latter requires several parameters, whose identification can be a long and difficult process in the case of strong non-linear behavior of the scaling function.

Real world knowledge is complex and Description Logics or First Order Logic (for which considerable efforts are currently being made in Semantic Web developments) are inadequate. As WA. Woods already pointed out in [1], "many people have responded to the need for increased rigor in knowledge representation by turning to first-order logic as a semantic criterium ... " Humans can still make inferences in an imprecise environment and that's where fuzzy logic comes into the picture. 13 14 Recently, several initiatives have led to reports of connections between Fuzzy Logic and the Semantic Web [2-10].

The structure of wages [10] is studied in economics by means of a set of curves that show how the hourly wage changes with the amount of years of experience. We have different curves depending on the different educational levels of the people: college graduates, college drop-outs, high-school graduates and high-school drop-outs. Hence, we can consider the educational level as the context. The input and the output linguistic variables are uniformly partitioned with 6 and 5 fuzzy sets, respectively.
