SAINT is a modeling and simulation technique that provides the concepts necessary to model systems that contain tasks (discrete elements), state variables (continuous elements), and interactions between them. SAINT has been designed to facilitate the modeling and analysis of complex man-machine systems. This paper describes a SAINT network model of a real-time simulation of a drone control facility (DCF) in which operators monitor and control the flight of simulated remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs) through the use of visual (CRT) displays.

Abstract In 1996, the fully automated radionuclide assay system, which is used for the non-destructive analysis and for the evaluation of radioactive waste drums, was installed at Kori nuclear power plant site and started to operate. The system is composed of gamma scanning hardware facility, equipment for separation and detection of non-gamma radionuclide, scaling factor prediction program, and control facility for radionuclide assay system. In this study, the operational status and results of radionuclide assay system are investigated from the experience of several years of operation. The results of the radionuclide assay system are compared with the results of dose to curie conversion program (DOSE).

And Control

Electric fields have been applied across oxides growing on a high temperature alloy and control of the oxidation of the material has been demonstrated. At present, three-fold increases in the oxidation rate have been measured in accelerating fields and the oxidation process has been completely stopped in a retarding field.The experiments have been conducted with an iron-base alloy, Pe 25Cr 5A1 0.1Y, although, in principle, any alloy capable of forming an adherent aluminum oxide layer during oxidation can be used. A specimen is polished and oxidized to produce a thin, uniform insulating layer on one surface. Three platinum electrodes are sputtered on the oxide surface and the specimen is reoxidized.

And Control

The majority of blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion possess a continuous endothelium with tight junctions. These same features have been associated with the blood brain barrier of the central nervous system and peripheral nerves. These vessels may perform a barrier function between the capillary circulation and the superior cervical ganglion. The permeability of the blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat was tested by intravenous injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Three experimental groups of four animals each were given intravenous HRP (Sigma Type II) in a dosage of.08 to.15 mg/gm body weight in.5 ml of.85% saline. The animals were sacrificed at five, ten or 15 minutes following administration of the tracer. Superior cervical ganglia were quickly removed and fixed by immersion in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in Sorenson's.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Three control animals received,5ml of saline without HRP. These were sacrificed on the same time schedule. Tissues from experimental and control animals were reacted for peroxidase activity and then processed for routine transmission electron microscopy.
