Space travel has become a routine in the present world. Space is even a permanent settlement to some astronauts onboard the international Space Station. However, when you think of the size of our solar system, not to mention the universe, we have just taken baby steps into space. Conventional rocket propulsion is based on chemical propulsion systems. Now different methods have been evolved. This seminar will give an overview of some of the advanced propulsion methods like SOLAR THERMAL ROCKET PROPULSION, ELECTROSTATIC ION PROPULSION DRIVES, HAL ....etc

Micron sized polymeric particles in custom designed geometries and with tunable chemical anisotropy are expected to enable a variety of new technologies in diverse areas such as photonics, diagnostics and functional materials. Current approaches for particle synthesis are either batch processes or flow-through microfluidic schemes that are based on two-phase systems, limiting the throughput, shape and functionality of the particles. We report a one-phase method called Stop Flow Lithography (SFL) that combines the advantages of microscope projec ....etc

Introduction

Due to innovations in sensor technology and rising complexity of manufacturing processes, increasingly more sensors are distributed throughout manufacturing and production systems to maintain the production performance, to ensure the life-cycle quality of products, and to improve the quality of management and service. This system-wide deployment of sensing devices is referred to as a distributed sensor system. Distributed sensor systems have resulted in a data-rich manufacturing environment and provide us unprecedented opport ....etc

Abstract—
The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm,as one of the latest algorithms inspired from the nature, wasintroduced in the mid 1990s and since then, it has been utilizedas an optimization tool in various applications, ranging frombiological and medical applications to computer graphics andmusic composition. In this paper, following a brief introductionto the PSO algorithm, the chronology of its evolution ispresented and all major PSO-based methods arecomprehensively surveyed. Next, these methods are studiedseparately an ....etc

The recent renewed interest on fluid-fuel nuclear systems has stimulated the development of models and methods for the physics of these systems, for both steady-state and transient analysis. The European research project MOST within the 5-th Framework Program has devoted a considerable effort to the assessment of models and computational tools for molten-salt systems. The seminar addresses the activities carried out at Politecnico di Torino on the neutronics of fluid-fuel systems. The basic physical phenomena connected to the motion of the fuel ....etc

This project is aimed at analyzing the available methods for solving a system of linear equations of the form n x n. Using a couple of iterative and/or direct methods, implement a program for these methods that could be run on a parallel
processor. At the end, a graph can be plotted with time taken for execution of a method considered V/s number of processors used (2, 4, 8, 32). For example following questions need to be addressed “
1. For a method considered, evaluate that as the number of processors is increased does the time taken ne ....etc

Integrating Structural Design and Formal Methods in RealTime System Design

Formal methods have been advocated as one of those techniques that can produce highquality software and hardware systems that has been demonstrated to come in ontime, within budget, and satisfy procurer requirements. They are, however, perceived to be difficult to use and unsuitable for presentation to nonspecialists. In addition, they have been criticized for paying too little attention to the system development process.

In recent years subcritical multiplying structures driven by an external neutron source have been proposed for long-lived product transmutation and for safe and acceptable energy production. The study of the dynamics of these systems needs the adaptation of current methods in order to properly reproduce the peculiar features of source-driven systems.The seminar addresses the recent activities carried out by the Reactor Physics Group of Politecnico di Torino on the neutron kinetics of source-driven systems. The basic physical aspects of the time ....etc
