Abstract
Business intelligence (BI) is a managerial concept helping managers and organizations to manage information and make factual decisions. Some have introduced Business Intelligence as a process of turning data into information and then into knowledge. This concept has become a popular trend for businesses interested in adding value to their decision making processes. Measurement of maturity in implementing Business Intelligence process in organizations is considered a critical issue. Business intelligence like software development is a process, which expressed in terms of components such as artifacts and workflows. Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) is developed to define different...
Design, construction and simulation of a multipurpose system for precision movement of control rods in nuclear reactors
, Article Annals of Nuclear Energy ; Volume 37, Issue 12 , 2010 , Pages 1659-1665 ; 03064549 (ISSN) ; Aghanajafi, C ; Sadoughi, S ; Sharifloo, N ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
This article presents the design and implementation of a microcontroller-based system for the automatic movement of control rods in nuclear reactors of either power or research types. This system is controlled automatically, is linked to a personal computer system, and has manual controlling ability as well. The important features of this system are: automatic scram of the control rods, activation of alarm in emergency situations, and the ability to tune the control rod movement course both upwards and downwards. In this system, a small tank has been improvised as a coolant reservoir for pool type reactors such as Tehran Research Reactor and its water level is continuously adjusted by...
Development and experimental validation of a correlation monitor tool based on the endogenous pulsed neutron source technique
, Article Metrology and Measurement Systems ; Volume 24, Issue 3 , 2017 , Pages 441-461 ; 20809050 (ISSN) ; Khalafi, H ; Vosoughi, N ; Khakshournia, S ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
A correlation measuring tool for an endogenous pulsed neutron source experiment is developed in this work. Paroxysmal pulses generated by a bursts of neutron chains are detected by a 10-kbit embedded shift register with a time resolution of 100 ns. The system is implemented on a single reprogrammable device making it a compact, cost-effective instrument, easily adaptable for any case study. The system was verified experimentally in the Esfahan heavy-water zero power reactor (EHWZPR). The results obtained by the measuring tool are validated by the Feynman-α experiment, and a good agreement is seen within the boundaries of statistical uncertainties. The theory of the methods is briefly...
