Smart Basic

Various transients and accidents were analyzed for the SMART basic design with the computer code developed by KAERI, and the results confirm that safety is ensured with sufficient margins in any postulated transient and accident. The integral effect tests to evaluate the computer code used for safety and performance analysis of SMART is underway at a high temperature and high-pressure thermal hydraulic test facility of 1 96 scale. Figure 5 shows the thermal hydraulic test facility for integral effect tests. 

Ratiometric luminescent probes make a smart use of the excitation wavelength effect on the emission intensity for extended optosensor performance. For example, the fluorescence from 8-hydroxy-l,3,5-pyrenetrisulfonate (HPTS) and other pH-sensitive dyes in water comes only from its (photo)excited basic form, but the absorption spectra of HPTS and PTS (pAa 7.3) differ considerably (Figure 3). 

The concept of the Smart Building is new, but the tradition it follows is not Since the time when humans lived in caves, there has been a steady evolution of the structures in which society lives, works, and interacts. The basic concept of the Smart Building will most likely change and adjust as new technologies become available. Most technologies are still hypothetical and will not be implemented for many years.

The human body, for instance, has sensors (eyes, ears, touch receptors in the skin, and so forth), a controller (the brain), and actuators (muscles) to react and respond to commands. These are the same basic concepts as the adaptive systems discussed in this chapter. Robots today, such as the welding machines used in industry or the toy dogs sold as pets, are extremely Umited in mobility and adaptability compared to humans. Yet smart materials, along with a design based on the sensory, nervous, and muscular systems of the body, could one day create an agile and adaptable robot. 

Finally, Appendices I and II are structured so that the reader can easily find some basic properties of environment-related compounds and unit conversions, or smartly estimate some parameters found in relationships in the rest of the book. The Appendix does not cover all cases and compounds however, it is a fust and separate guide provided to the reader for the basic calculations and properties found in this book.

Epidermis is an interface between body and environment. The basic mechanism of the smart system of the epidermis has not been clarified yet, but epidermal ion dynamics in the epidermis plays an important role as a signaling system.47,49 As described earlier, a variety of receptors of neurotransmitters are found in the keratinocytes. Recently, the existence and function of vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (VR1, TRPV1) in epidermal keratinocytes has been demonstrated (Figure 10.2).50,51... 

In addition, significant advances have been made in both basic and applied research which allow a smart and efficient solution to most of these problems. As an example, let us quote the development of the synthesis of novel catalytic materials with tailor-made and more suitable characteristics (stable nanocrystals, controlled hydrophobicity, better thermal and/or mechanical stability, etc.), the understanding of the complex phenomena involved in the catalytic transformation of polar molecules within zeolite micropores or the demonstration that fixed bed reactors, which have many advantages over conventional batch reactors, can be easily used, even for liquid-phase reactions and even for laboratory scale experiments.
