A method is proposed for estimating the original radiation source distribution by machine learning using the dose and energy spectrum of γ rays emitted from radiation sources placed at various positions. This method does not require complicated parameter set-tings and can be also applied when there is a shield liked Pb between the radiation source and the measurement point. The estimation results displayed the original radiation source distribution with high accuracy. It is expected to be used for decontamination and decommissioning by developing this method.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67361496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this method, spheres are arranged so that the edges are constructed as Plateau borders, and an implicit surface f (x) = 0 combined by constructive solid geometry is generated from these spheres. The open cell metal foam model generated by the proposed method has edges and junctions, and the cross-sections of Plateau borders in the model are concave triangles. In the proposed method, the open cell model that has a periodic structure can be generated by adjusting the arrangement of spheres. In addition, by employing the pnorm-based implicit surfaces, the proposed method has been extended so that various kinds of open cell model can be constructed. Although the open cell models generated by the proposed method are midair models, they can be converted to solid models constructed as voxel meshes. Furthermore, an arbitrary shape defined by an implicit surface g(x) = 0 can be represented as a collection of extracted cells in the voxel mesh of open cell model.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67361717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A device called Force Free Helical Reactor (FFHR) using helical coils to generate a magnetic trap is being designed by National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) in Japan. Because the FFHR has the plasma with a complicated three-dimensional (3D) structure, 3D design of the in-vessel components is necessary. In the past, the design of the in-vessel components has been conducted based on the discrete two-dimensional poloidal cross-sectional shapes. However, this method is not effective and complete check of the interference is difficult. Since plasma movement follows the magnetic field lines, the plasma shape could be generated from them. Marching cubes method is applied for generating the polygon mesh. A graphic software is used for modifying and rendering.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67360731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first problem emerged recently is a very small amount of numerical errors comparable to pollutant emissions such as unburned hydrocarbon fuel (HC) and NOx at order of ppm or less. A new nonlinear numerical method of global and local corrections for the deterministic compressible Navier-Stokes equation for multi-components of gases is proposed and tested to overcome this first problem, while accurately evaluating fluid-dynamic instability related to turbulence and thermal efficiency as result of spatially-integrated thermodynamic quantities, related to total amount of CO2 exhausted, in power systems including combustion engines. It is stressed that the present nonlinear correction method applied for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation is also effective for the second mysterious problem which has been unsolved for over 100 years, which is the spatial transition point from laminar to turbulent flows in pipes.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67361229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, in this study, a new wing model using rectangular shell finite elements is proposed. In the proposed model, the veins and membranes are described as pseudo-elastic materials.

This significantly affects their ability to operate an Electric Wheelchair (EW) especially when using joystick controllers because one operation of a joystick affects both the straight and turning motions of an EW. Thus, individuals with severe disabilities typically exhibit difficulties in operating an EW, especially in the cases that require fine steering capabilities. In contrast to autonomous driving, the study proposes a novel shared control method using reinforcement learning considering utilizing users' residual physical functions. With the use of online learning, the shared controller provides proper assistance based on the driving environments and each user's input characteristics. The effectiveness and the characteristics of the novel shared controller are discussed via simulations.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67361120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
