Evaluation of high-level waste pretreatment processes with an approximate reasoning model
Bott, T.F.; Eisenhawer, S.W.; Agnew, S.F. - 2009
The development of an approximate-reasoning (AR)-based model to analyze pretreatment options for high-level waste is presented. AR methods are used to emulate the processes used by experts in arriving at a judgment. In this paper, the authors first consider two specific issues in applying AR to...

Characterizing emerging industrial technologies in energy models
Laitner, John A.; Worrell, Ernst; Galitsky, Christina; … - 2008
Conservation supply curves are a common tool in economic analysis. As such, they provide an important opportunity to include a non-linear representation of technology and technological change in economy-wide models. Because supply curves are closely related to production isoquants, we explore...
