One example of an unconventional subcritical fission pile is an Accelerator-Driven System ( ADS ) that has been proposed for, and in some places is currently being developed for, the Accelerator Transmutation of Waste ( ATW )— for example, using neutrons to transmute large quantities of extremely long-lived nuclear wastes, such as those produced ( mainly ) by conventional nuclear fission reactors, into much less long-lived transmuted elements.

Initial development of an electronic system for accessing astrophysical abstracts took place during the following two years ; in 1991 discussions took place on how to integrate ADS with the SIMBAD database, containing all available catalog designations for objects outside the solar system, to create a system where astronomers could search for all the papers written about a given object.

ADS now has agreements with almost all astronomical journals, who supply abstracts.

Since the advent of online editions of journals, abstracts are loaded into the ADS on or before the publication date of articles, with the full journal text available to subscribers.

Although it was conceived as a means of accessing abstracts and papers, ADS provides a substantial amount of ancillary information along with search results.

For each class, three lives are specified: one for regular depreciation ( GDS in the tables below ), one for the alternative depreciation system ( ADS ), and a class life.

The 60th Indian Parachute Field Ambulance provided the medical cover for the operations, dropping an ADS and a surgical team totalling 7 officers and 5 other ranks, treating over 400 battle casualties apart from the civilian casualties that formed the core of their objective as the unit was on a humanitarian mission.

* Scanned issues ( 1849-1997 ) from ADS

Logo of the ADSThe Astrophysics Data System ( usually referred to as ADS ), developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ), is an online database of over eight million astronomy and physics papers from both peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed sources.

At first, the journal articles available via ADS were scanned bitmaps created from the paper journals, but from 1995 onwards, the Astrophysical Journal began to publish an on-line edition, soon followed by the other main journals such as Astronomy and Astrophysics and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

ADS provided links to these electronic editions from their first appearance.

All updates are triggered centrally, but they initiate scripts at the mirror sites which " pull " updated data from the main ADS servers.

1284 papers about Pinwheel Galaxy | M101 are available through ADS, from as long ago as 1850.

The advent of preprint servers has, like ADS, had a significant impact on the rate of astronomical research, as papers are often made available from preprint servers weeks or months before they are published in the journals.

The incorporation of preprints from the arXiv into ADS means that the search engine can return the most current research available, with the caveat that preprints may not have been peer reviewed or proofread to the required standard for publication in the main journals.

Search results page from ADS – A, F, G, C, R etc.

* 2007 – Atlas Copco flags off the first Blast Hole Drill ( IDM30 ) manufactured from its high tech ADS facility at Nashik factory.

Within the NASA Astrophysics Data System ( ADS ) he also appears to be confused with a third Westphal, " Alfred Friedrich Julius Westphal " (" Dr. A. Westphal "), a geophysicist who lived from August 1, 1850 to 1924 and who first published in 1881.

The Chinese LS-II ADS launching platform differs from its Raytheon counterpart in that the latter has a total of 6 missiles, while former only has four.

Music programming from ADS included Music Express ( 1975 – 1986 ), hosted by Steve Curtis then Greg Clark and Nightshift hosted by David Day.

Use of ADS is almost universal among astronomers worldwide, and therefore ADS usage statistics can be used to analyze global trends in astronomical research.

ADS is almost universally used as a research tool among astronomers, and there are several studies that have estimated quantitatively how much more efficient ADS has made astronomy ; one estimated that ADS increased the efficiency of astronomical research by 333 full-time equivalent research years per year, and another found that in 2002 its effect was equivalent to 736 full-time researchers, or all the astronomical research done in France.

Because it is used almost universally by astronomers, ADS can reveal much about how astronomical research is distributed around the world.

Another system known with six stars is ADS 9731, which consists of a pair of two triple systems, each of which is a spectroscopic binary in orbit together with a single star.

Since about 1995, the number of ADS users has doubled roughly every two years.

The main ADS server is located at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is a dual 64-bit X86 Intel server with two quad-core 3. 0 GHz CPUs and 32 GB of RAM, running the CentOS 5. 4 Linux distribution.

The Liberation had a single VCF and two ADS envelope generators.

The agent-directed simulation ( ADS ) metaphor distinguishes between two categories, namely " Systems for Agents " and " Agents for Systems.

LS-II ADS only contains two short-range IR guided AAMs ( PL-9 ) and two medium-range AAMs ( PL-12 / SD-10 ), with PL-12 / SD-10 missiles mounted in the center, and the PL-9 missiles mounted on the outside.

In addition to the launching vehicle, LS-II ADS also include two other vehicles, which is also often based on the Dongfeng ( 东风, East Wind ) EQ2050 Iron Armor ( Tiejia, 铁甲 ) or other Chinese High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle ( HMMWV ), for the purpose to simplify logistics, though chassis of other vehicles are also available.

One of the two other vehicle is for power source, and LS-II ADS can be fully functional without it, though on a shorter continuous operation.

Studies have found that the benefit to astronomy of the ADS is equivalent to several hundred million US dollars annually, and the system is estimated to have tripled the readership of astronomical journals.

ADS member Stephen Goranson has found a version of the law, not yet generalized or bearing that name, in a report by Alfred Holt at an 1877 meeting of an engineering society.

For example, the components of α Canis Majoris ( Sirius ) are α Canis Majoris A and α Canis Majoris B ( Sirius A and Sirius B ); the components of 44 Boötis are 44 Boötis A and 44 Boötis B ; the components of ADS 16402 are ADS 16402A and ADS 16402B ; and so on.

In 1961 the 56th Fighter Wing was discontinued and the host unit at K. I. Sawyer became the Sault Sainte Marie ADS.

The documentary is used to combat deaths due to a previously unknown psychological disorder known as apocalyptic demise syndrome, or ADS.

The filtered signal is then routed to the Voltage Controlled Amplifer ( VCA ), where its contour is shaped by a dedicated ADS ( Attack, Decay / Release, Sustain ) envelope generator.

Peter Tribeman of NAD ( USA ) organized and presented a demonstration made possible by the collaborative effort of NAD, Proton, ADS, Lucasfilm and Dolby Labs, who contributed their technologies to demonstrate what a home cinema would " look and sound " like.

ADS 16402 is a binary star system in Lacerta, around which a planet orbits with some unusual properties.

The first voice messaging application, the Speech Filing System ( later renamed Audio Distribution System ( ADS ) was developed at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in 1973 under the leadership of Stephen Boies, who worked on the modern day voice-mail or voice messaging.

The ADS was meant to mimic the concept of email, but using the telephone as the input device and the human voice as the medium for the message.

The ADS, marketed directly by IBM and for a short while by AT & T, was richly featured for voice messaging, the result of IBM's enormous research in human factors and observing SFS in real operational use.

The result was failure of ADS as a commercial product.
