Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Productivity of technological processes crucially depends on its continuity and absence of any malfunction. However, operating personnel should be trained for the cases of any emergencies and under conditions as close as it possible to real ones. That is why, companies require high quality training simulators. This paper is devoted to solve this problem, presenting a model of virtual training application (VTA). In this paper, taking into account the technical regulations, requirements to both workflow processes and training simulators, design of VTA is discussed. Moreover, by analysis of uranium in-situ leaching process, the application of this simulation technology is introduced in detail. Proposed model of VTA is designed to assist training operator personnel to understand and simulate the workflow of in-situ leaching process without acting on real system and without stopping workflow.
