Vivek Venugopal (National Solar Observatory): Real-time control for the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (20 minutes)
Real-time processing for Adaptive Optics (AO) systems is challenging as the motion vectors have to be computed to properly actuate the mirrors before the wavefront information has become obsolete. The four meter Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) will provide unprecedented resolution for solar observation due to its larger aperture. The ATST AO system with 2 kHz frame rate camera, 1750 sub-apertures and 1900 actuators requires massive parallel processing and this increased demand in computational horsepower is far from being manageable by conventional processors. Hardware accelerators such as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) are better equipped to harness the the parallel processing requirements of such a system. We investigate the implementation of the data processing architecture for Shack-Hartmann correlation and the wavefront reconstruction using FPGAs and GPUs. We benchmark the AO algorithm implemented using FPGAs and GPUs and compare it with the existing legacy FPGA-Digital Signal Processing (DSP) based hardware system used in the 76cm Dunn Solar Telescope(DST).
The document provides tips for students taking the Trinity exam to help reduce nervousness. It advises students to remember that they have practiced extensively so they are prepared. It also recommends not moving your body during the exam as it can negatively impact scores, and to tell the examiner if you are feeling very nervous as they can offer assistance. Students are warned against memorizing answers as examiners may ask harder follow up questions that could increase stress. Finally, it encourages students to think of the exam like a normal conversation about their topic which should not be too difficult.

A 92-year-old man is moving into a retirement home after his wife passed away. As a staff member describes his new room, including a sheet serving as a curtain, the man says he likes it very much. When told he hasn't seen it yet, he replies that his happiness depends on his perspective, not the room's furnishings. He chooses to be happy each day and focuses on happy memories rather than what parts of his body no longer work well. He advises depositing happiness in one's memory bank for later life.
The document provides an overview and recommendations for interior space planning and color concepts for the Smith Residence. It discusses key areas of the home including the front entry, kitchen, great room, laundry room, bathrooms, and bedrooms. For each area, it emphasizes the importance of balance, functionality, storage, and achieving a sense of order and calm. It concludes by stating that a house becomes a home when the interior design connects to the exterior through a unified sense of color and natural materials.

Waldgeist restaurant in Hofheim is known for its huge schnitzel portions and affordable prices, with every table supplied with aluminum foil for those not brave enough to finish the large dishes, along with drinks served in 2-liter glasses like their popular 5-liter "Der Bembel des Todes" cocktail that costs just 35 Euros. The document also mentions sausage and burgers as alternatives for those not wanting schnitzel.
The document introduces various open source business models including donations, advertising, product specialists/subscriptions, dual licensing, open-core licensing, embedded operating systems, and hardware. It discusses how companies like Mozilla, Alfresco, MySQL, and Xen generate revenue through these models. The presentation advocates that open source can lower costs and time to market while benefiting from free feedback and community contributions.
This document provides information about Earth and the solar system in a series of numbered pages. It explains that Earth is a planet that has oceans, continents, islands, rivers, and air. It is part of the solar system which contains 9 planets that orbit the Sun. It describes the movement of Earth around the Sun as revolution and around its axis as rotation. It also discusses the Moon, water on Earth, and seasons.
This 4 minute YouTube video provides an overview of the key events in the history of the United States space program from 1957 to 1972. It highlights the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union, the first American in space Alan Shepard, John Glenn becoming the first American to orbit Earth, and the Apollo 11 mission which landed the first humans on the Moon in 1969.
The gaming industry has shifted from physical discs in the early 1990s to digital distribution by 2004. This transition was driven by innovations in distribution through platforms like Steam that allowed games to be downloaded and played online. By 2009, the industry featured many business models beyond just retail game sales, including freemium games, subscriptions, virtual goods, and social/mobile games. Revenue and market valuation increased dramatically as distribution moved online and new platforms emerged.
This document outlines the Jwalamukhi initiative, which aims to build an "Awakened India" through social, environmental, and civic awareness and action. The initiative is led by a team of experts who will mentor students to raise awareness on issues like corruption, pollution, poverty and illiteracy. Students will work on templates related to these issues and reflect on their experiences. The goal is for each mentored student to train their classmates, cascading the messages to more students. A pilot program will run from November 2009 to February 2010 across five schools to directly impact 25 students as the first group.
This document provides a concept plan and budget for renovating a teen room at a private school. The plan relocates and groups existing furnishings to create distinct areas for activities, games, TV, and meetings while maintaining an open floor plan. Proposed changes include reupholstering some furniture, adding student artwork, a mural, floor pillows, and new TV options. The total proposed budget ranges from $75-100 for artwork to optional amounts for new furniture and a TV.
This document discusses CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture), which is a middleware standard defined by the Object Management Group (OMG) that enables communication between programs written in different languages and running on different operating systems. CORBA uses Interface Definition Language (IDL) to describe interfaces and maps them to different programming languages. It provides location transparency through a remote proxy mechanism that hides remote object references from client programs.

Assessing the Need for a Mobile Application to Engage Physiciansmickster215
Presented at the Mobile Engagement Forum, Chicago, May 2014
Mobile applications are the shiny new toy in multi-channel marketing, and many marketing teams are ready to jump into developing mobile applications for any and every new product or therapeutic area served within a pharmaceutical or medical device company. Prior to spending a considerable amount of time, resources and budget, digital marketers should take a step back and truly analyze the benefits of deploying a mobile application for physician engagement. Depending on the product, disease state or targeted physician audience, mobile applications may not always be the optimal choice to drive physician engagement and create further brand awareness.
This document discusses different types of inventions throughout history including the first mobile phone in 1983, the first car with an engine in 1889, and the first use of antibiotics in medicine in 1876. The inventions are categorized into types such as transportation, communication, industry and energy, medicine, and free time. Examples provided include the steam engine, mobile phones, and computers. The document poses questions about what we do with computers after using them, why we use inventions, and when we go to play. It concludes by thanking the reader for viewing the PowerPoint presentation.
