The ratio of 133Xe isomers produced in the fission of 232Th, 233U, 235U, and 238U by protons ranging in energy from 20–85 MeV was measured. The Hafner, Huizenga, and Vandenbosch formalism was applied with different sets of input parameters to establish their effect on the relation between initial fragment spin and isomer ratio for three spin-pair classes of isomers. The isomer ratio was found to be independent of the spin and type of fissioning target and only weakly dependent on projectile energy.

Within the Bayesian framework a non-intrusive uncertainty quantification is performed to assess the uncertainty of ion–solid interaction simulations. For this we employ a reduced-order spectral expansion approach which is capable of confining the number of model runs to a feasible size. Moreover, the method facilitates sensitivity examinations regarding to input parameters of the model. It is applied to the ion–solid simulation program SDTrimSP with several uncertain but normally distributed input parameters, i.e., impact angle α , projectile energy E 0 , and surface binding energy E s b . Consequently, the otherwise hardly accessible model parameter E s b can be estimated in combination with recently acquired experimental data.

The load-carrying capacity of the member with imperfections under axial compression is analysed in the present paper. The study is divided into two parts: (i) in the first one, the input parameters are considered to be random numbers (with distribution of probability functions obtained from experimental results and/or tolerance standard), while (ii) in the other one, the input parameters are considered to be fuzzy numbers (with membership functions). The load-carrying capacity was calculated by geometrical nonlinear solution of a beam by means of the finite element method. In the case (ii), the membership function was determined by applying the fuzzy sets, whereas in the case (i), the distribution probability function of load-carrying capacity was determined. For (i) stochastic solution, the numerical simulation Monte Carlo method was applied, whereas for (ii) fuzzy solution, the method of the so-called α cuts was applied. The design load-carrying capacity was determined according to the EC3 and EN1990 standards. The results of the fuzzy, stochastic and deterministic analyses are compared in the concluding part of the paper.

In this research, there was considered a challenge of constructing a system of scientific knowledge of the shot conditions in judicial ballistics. It was observed that there are underlying factors that are intended to ensureits [scientific knowledge] consistency: identification of the list of shot conditions, which require consideration when solving expert-level research tasks on weapons, cartridges and traces of their action; determination of the communication systems in the course of objects’ interaction, which present the result of exposure to the conditions of the shot; classification of the shot conditions based on the grounds significant for solving scientific and practical problems. The article contains the characteristics of a constructive, functional factor (condition) of weapons and cartridges influence, environmental and fire factors, the structure of the target and its physical properties, situational and spatial factors, and projectile energy characteristics. Highlighted are the forms of connections formed in the course of objects’ interaction, proposed are the author’s classifications of forensically significant shooting conditions with them being divided on the basis of the following criteria: production from the object of interaction, production from a natural phenomenon, production method, results weapon operation and utilization, duration of exposure, type of structural connections between interaction objects, number of conditions that apply when firing and the forming traces.

We report triple differential cross-sections (TDCSs) for the electron impact single ionization of tungsten atoms for the ionization taking place from the outer sub shells of tungsten atoms, viz. W (6s), W (5d), W (5p) and W (4f). The study of the electron-induced processes such as ionization, excitation, autoionization from tungsten and its charged states is strongly required to diagnose and model the fusion plasma in magnetic devices such as Tokamaks. Particularly, the cross-section data are important to understand the electron spectroscopy involved in the fusion plasma. In the present study, we report TDCS results for the ionization of W atoms at 200, 500 and 1000 eV projectile energy at different values of scattered electron angles. It was observed that the trends of TDCSs for W (5d) are significantly different from the trends of TDCSs for W (6s), W (5p) and W (4f). It was further observed that the TDCS for W atoms has sensitive dependence on value of momentum transfer and projectile energy.

The advance in remote sensing techniques, especially the development of LiDAR scanning systems, allowed the development of new methods for power line corridor surveys using a digital model of the powerline and its surroundings. The advanced diagnostic techniques based on the acquired conductor geometry recalculation to extreme operating and climatic conditions were proposed using this digital model. Although the recalculation process is relatively easy and straightforward, the uncertainties of input parameters used for the recalculation can significantly compromise such recalculation accuracy. This paper presents a systematic analysis of the accuracy of the recalculation affected by the inaccuracies of the conductor state equation input variables. The sensitivity of the recalculation to the inaccuracy of five basic input parameters was tested (initial temperature and mechanical tension, elasticity modulus, specific gravity load and tower span) by comparing the conductor sag values when input parameters were affected by a specific inaccuracy with an ideal sag-tension table. The presented tests clearly showed that the sag recalculation inaccuracy must be taken into account during the safety assessment process, as the sag deviation can, in some cases, reach values comparable to the minimal clearance distances specified in the technical standards.

We consider the computational complexity of finding an optimal deadlock recovery. It is known that for an arbitrary number of resource types the problem is NP-hard even when the total cost of deadlocked jobs and the total number of resource units are “small” relative to the number of deadlocked jobs. It is also known that for one resource type the problem is NP-hard when the total cost of deadlocked jobs and the total number of resource units are “large” relative to the number of deadlocked jobs. In this paper we show that for one resource type the problem is solvable in polynomial time when the total cost of deadlocked jobs or the total number of resource units is “small” relative to the number of deadlocked jobs. For fixed m ⩾ 2 resource types, we show that the problem is solvable in polynomial time when the total number of resource units is “small” relative to the number of deadlocked jobs. On the other hand, when the total number of resource units is “large”, the problem becomes NP-hard even when the total cost of deadlocked jobs is “small” relative to the number of deadlocked jobs. The results in the paper, together with previous known ones, give a complete delineation of the complexity of this problem under various assumptions of the input parameters.
