In this report we provide an informal mathematical introduction to the use of some methods from graph theory for the data analysis of non-standard time series. By this we mean information from a channel that is not presented to us in the usual format as a regular sequence of numbers. In...

In this report, we present the further development of a screening tool for the automatic recognition of anomalies in air quality monitoring data, which considers both attribute values and spatio-temporal relationships. The screening tool was originally designed for the evaluation of PM10 data....

Research and innovation (R&I) have a significant role in the development of transport systems. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of 20 technologies from European R&I projects, researched at a low development phase, that have received high levels of funding and for which the number...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) constitute one of the most promising designs seemingly able to solve the most challenging issues related to the use of nuclear energy for power generation: possibility of large radionuclide releases, nuclear waste and nuclear safeguards. However, MSRs also present a...

The project objectives are to characterise gas stirring during ladle metallurgy using vibration and camera sensors, and to develop innovative signal processing for obtaining representative indices, used as input into online metallurgical models for adjusting and improving the process. DH and...

The main aim of the study is the development of tools able to predict hydrogen content in steel and to assess the best practices to keep it below the critical threshold. A survey of current hydrogen detection methods both for liquid and solid steel have been carried out and the most reliable...

This report presents the essential results of a study performed by the European Clearinghouse on Operational Experience Feedback, in cooperation with IRSN and GRS, aiming to analyse the impact of inappropriate maintenance at NPPs. The databases of IRSN, GRS, U.S. NRC and IAEA IRS were screened...
