Experimental validation of thermal hydraulics and CFD codes of scaled down models and full models of Nuclear Reactor components is very important for reactor system designers and reactor safety experts for optimal design and providing best safety features of the reactor systems. Over the period of time several techniques have been developed for this purpose. Among them Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV), a laser based optical technique, is the recent, innovative, promising and flexible enough one so that it can be adapted to a large variety flows. By this technique test time is reduced significantly. DPIV is a non-intrusive optical measurement technique, which allows capturing several thousand velocity vectors within large flow fields instantaneously. DPIV technique is being used in very wide and different applications, from micro flows over combustion to supersonic flows for both industrial needs and research. 2-D DPIV facility having non-intrusive, instantaneous flow visualization with high spatial and temporal resolution features has been developed. It is used for measurement of flow velocity vectors at many (e. g. thousands) points in a flow field simultaneously and it provides instantaneous vector fields and displays velocity vectors in rea l-time. DPIV combines flow visualization with accurate quantitative velocity data. 2-D Velocity vectors are obtained by analysis of displacement of tracer particles on images in a known time. The development of visualization tools are powerful enough to at tack the complexity of a resulting flow field but also flexible enough so that they can be adapted to a large variety of different flow. DPIV system has Laser light source, Laser beam delivery system, High speed camera interface, DPIV image acquisition & analysis software, CCD camera, computer controlled synchronizer, seeding particles & PC. This system will enhance our capability of thermal hydraulics, neutronics and multiphysics modelling by experimental support &

Based on registered individual floating population data from 2005 to 2008 of Yiwu, the phenomena that population floating to Yiwu City from 34 province and 91 counties in Jiangxi provinces is analyzed. The study aims at analyzing the "pull" forces of Yiwu City and developing migration models for understanding determinants factors of population migration/floating into Yiwu City from other areas in China. The spatial layout of Yiwu's pull forces is proved as a V-shaped pattern consisting of the two axes by using explorative spatial dataanalysis and map visualization method. The migration models with (model 3) or without (model 2) migration stock are presented and estimated using standard linear regression model, spatial error model as well as spatial lag model at the county scale in Jiangxi province. Based on the likelihood statistics, the AIC and the Moran's I statistics of residuals, the model with migration stock provides an improved fit over the model without migration stock. The correlation between migration ratio and man land ratio is significant at the 0.5 level according to estimates of model 3 and spatial version of model 2. All the three estimates of model 2 and the OLS results of model 3 confirm the distance-decay effect while results from the spatial version of model 3 failed to support the distance rule in population floating. Contrary to the previous studies at the provincial level, the correlation between per capital net income of rural labor forces and migration ratio is not significant according to the three versions of the two models due to the small disparities of income within the counties in Jiangxi. Examination of specification tests in spatial version of model 3 indicates that there is less significant spatial error dependence in the spatial lag models than spatial lag dependence in the error models, further suggesting a preference for the lag model. Model 2 does not suggest any preference for choosing spatial error model and spatial lag model.

This paper presents a new computational framework for calculating the normal modes and interactions of proteins, macromolecular assemblies and surrounding solvents. The framework employs a combination of molecular dynamics simulation (MD) and principal component analysis (PCA). It enables the capture and visualization of the molecules' normal modes and interactions over time scales that are computationally challenging, providing a starting point for experimental and further computational studies of protein conformational changes. PCA reduces the dimensionality of MD atomic trajectory data and provides a concise way to visualize, analyze, and compare the motions observed over the course of a simulation. PCA involves diagonalization of the positional covariance matrix to identify an orthogonal set of eigenvectors or "modes'' describing the direction of maximum variation in the observed conformational distribution. Slow conformational changes can be identified by projecting these dominant modes back to original trajectory data. In this work, the new multiscale methodology was applied to a relatively small mutant T4 phage lysozyme, establishing its equilibrium atomic thermal fluctuations and its inter-residue fluctuation correlations. These results were compared with published data obtained by NMA, by finite element methods, and by experiment. The eigenmodes captured are in quantitative agreement with previously published results.

On April 28, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Airborne Spectral Photometric Environmental Collection Technology (ASPECT) aircraft was deployed to Gulfport, Mississippi to provide airborne remotely sensed air monitoring and situational awareness data and products in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster. The ASPECT aircraft was released from service on August 9, 2010 after having flown over 85 missions that included over 325 hours of flight operation. This paper describes several advanced analysis capabilities specifically developed for the Deepwater Horizon mission to correctly locate, identify, characterize, and quantify surface oil using ASPECT's multispectral infrared data. The data products produced using these advanced analysis capabilities provided the Deepwater Horizon Incident Command with a capability that significantly increased the effectiveness of skimmer vessel oil recovery efforts directed by the U. S. Coast Guard, and were considered by the Incident Command as key situational awareness information.

Interoperable data exchange and reproducibility are increasingly important for modern scientific research. This paper shows how three open source projects work together to realize this: (i) the R project, providing the lingua franca for statistical analysis, (ii) the Open Geospatial Consortium's Sensor Observation Service (SOS), a standardized data warehouse service for storing and retrieving sensor measurements, and (iii) sos4R, a new project that connects the former two. We show how sos4R can bridge the gap between two communities in science: spatial statistical analysis and visualization on one side and the Sensor Web community on the other. sos4R enables R users to integrate (near real-time) sensor observations directly into R. Finally, we evaluate the functionality of sos4R. The software encapsulates the service's complexity with typical R function calls in a common analysis workflow, but still gives users full flexibility to handle interoperability issues. We conclude that it is able to close the gap between R and the sensor web.
