Authors:N. Madurai Meenachi, M. Sai Baba Pages: 1 - 11 Abstract: In this paper, string-based algorithm and the analogy of the total number of deviations that exist between two matrices are utilised for ontology matching. The type of matching and the distance between them are derived from the rank of the matrix. This process is useful for an agent program to extract the knowledge from the application domain and to evaluate the result of matching to decide whether to include or exclude the ontology. As a case study to demonstrate the developed algorithm, the Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) is taken for analysis by representing its components like the steam generator system and the control rod drive mechanism in formats like Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL). Keywords: ontology mapping; OWL; web ontology language; RDF; resource description framework; domain ontology; quick mapping evaluator; semantic web; protégé Citation: International Journal of Nuclear Knowledge Management, Vol. 7, No. 1 (2017) pp. 1 - 11 PubDate: 2017-05-13T23:20:50-05:00 DOI: 10.1504/IJNKM.2017.084124 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 1 (2017)

Authors:Anil Sagar, B.S. Kademani, K. Bhanumurthy, T.L. Prasad Pages: 12 - 24 Abstract: This paper attempts to analyse quantitatively the growth and development of uranium recovery from secondary sources in terms of publication output as reflected in the International Nuclear Information System (INIS) database. During 1972-2011, a total of 4520 papers were published on uranium extraction from various secondary sources: phosphoric acid accounted for 2840 publications (62.83%), sea water 751 publications (16.62%), coal 479 publications (10.6%), monazite 245 publications (5.42%) and granite 205 publications (4.54%). Among the countries contributing to uranium recovery from secondary sources research, India topped the list with 695 publications (15.38%), followed by USA with 548 publications (12.12%), Japan with 457 publications (10.11%), China with 291 publications (6.44%) and Germany with 275 publications (6.08%). The highest number of publications (193) was in 1984. The average number of publications published per year was 113. The journals most preferred by scientists for publication of papers were Radiokhimiya with 118 publications (2.61%), Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry with 82 publications (1.81%) and Radiochimica Acta with 60 publications (1.33%).

Authors:Anil Sagar, B.S. Kademani, K. Bhanumurthy, T.L. Prasad Pages: 25 - 36 Abstract: Organisations lose knowledge. Considering knowledge as a valuable asset, attention must be paid to the risk of losing it. The contribution of this paper is to propose a model - the Knowledge Critical Grid (KCG) - that aims at assessing the risk of knowledge loss. Applied within the Belgian TSO, this model focuses on community-of-practices and network issues. Grounded on five knowledge issues, the KCG intends to assess the knowledge volatility and vulnerability levels of an organisation and define the best relevant knowledge management actions.

Authors:Anil Sagar, B.S. Kademani, K. Bhanumurthy, T.L. Prasad Pages: 37 - 57 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to enhance the understanding of the importance of communication among project members/partners in the planning phase of multi-organisational international interdisciplinary projects from theoretical and empirical perspectives. It also aims to show the important role the project leader has in coordinating and stimulating the communication among different stakeholders in such projects. This is a qualitative research paper based on the analysis of interviews conducted with representatives of organisations of the three European projects which are related to nuclear energy. The conclusion of this study is that communication during the planning phase of multi-organisational interdisciplinary projects is key to their success. If a person wants to be successful as a project leader of multi-organisational interdisciplinary projects, then he/she should pay particular attention to the importance of project communication management in the project planning phase.

Authors:Ganesh Surwase, B.S. Kademani Pages: 58 - 71 Abstract: This paper attempts to highlight quantitatively and qualitatively the growth and development of world literature on materials chemistry in terms of journal papers and citations as per Scopus database. A total of 67,375 papers and 493,098 citations received to these papers were downloaded from Scopus database for the period 2008-2012. The objective of the study was to perform a scientometric analysis of all materials chemistry research papers in the world. The parameters studied include year-wise growth of papers and citations, continent-wise distribution of papers and citations, country-wise distribution of papers, publication efficiency index and activity index, institute-wise distribution of papers and highly preferred journals.

Authors:Mauro Cappelli, Adam Maria Gadomski, Fabrizio Memmi, Massimo Sepielli, Marta Weronika Wronikowska Pages: 72 - 89 Abstract: In this paper a prototype for the TRIGA Research Reactor Decision Support System is proposed. Its framework is realised on the basis of three models: the Universal Management Paradigm, the Information-Preference-Knowledge Model from the TOGA meta-theory, and the Finite State Machine Model. Such an application uses data from the instrumentation and control system and according to the human factor state recognises the type of operative situation and suggests to the operator a decision action as an output. The tool can be used for helping the operator in accident conditions. Here, for illustrative purposes only, an accidental variation of the control rod position has been simulated and results from the proposed tool are analysed.
