The document describes a study measuring the effects of radiation damage on optical cement used in scintillation detectors at Fermilab. The detectors degrade after 9 months, likely due to darkening of the optical cement from radiation. A test setup is presented to measure the transparency of optical cement samples from two manufacturers as a function of radiation dose. Initial transparency measurements show about 80% transmission for most samples. Samples will be exposed to radiation in the booster and harvested periodically to re-measure transparency and correlate it to radiation dose measured by a photodiode.

When a FILTER makes the difference in continuously answering SPARQL queries ...Shima Zahmatkesh
This document proposes new maintenance policies for refreshing a local replica used to continuously evaluate SPARQL queries over streaming and background linked data when the queries contain a FILTER clause. It introduces the problem, motivates the research question, and hypothesizes that policies focusing on mappings close to the filter threshold will keep the replica fresher. Experimental results show the proposed "Filter Update Policy" outperforms existing policies from state-of-the-art approaches when selectivity is over 60%, and combining it with other policies performs even better. Future work is outlined to broaden the class of supported queries.
This document discusses two approaches to coupling liquid chromatography with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (LC-FTIR): flow cell LC-FTIR and solvent elimination LC-FTIR. In flow cell LC-FTIR, the LC eluent passes through an IR flow cell for continuous spectral analysis but has limitations due to solvent absorption. Solvent elimination LC-FTIR interfaces evaporate the solvent before IR detection, improving sensitivity by depositing analytes on substrates like powder or mirrors for analysis. Early interfaces had issues, but spray-type interfaces like thermo-spray can instantly evaporate solvents and deposit narrow analyte spots for analysis. Both approaches aim to overcome challenges in coupling LC with FTIR

INTRODUCTION
HPLC is a form of liquid chromatography used to separate compounds that are dissolved in solution.
HPLC instruments consist of a reservoir of mobile phase, a pump, an injector, a separation column, and a detector.
Compounds are separated by injecting a sample mixture into the column. The different component in the mixture pass through the column at differentiates due to differences in their partition behavior between the mobile phase and the stationary phase.
The mobile phase must be degassed to eliminate the formation of air bubbles.

A 128 tap highly tunable cmos if finite impulse response filter for pulsed ra...Nxfee Innovation
A configurable-bandwidth (BW) filter is presented in this paper for pulsed radar applications. To eliminate dispersion effects in the received waveform, a finite impulse response (FIR) topology is proposed, which has a measured standard deviation of an in-band group delay of 11 ns that is primarily dominated by the inherent, fully predictable delay introduced by the sample-and-hold. The filter operates at an IF of 20 MHz, and is tunable in BW from 1.5 to 15 MHz, which makes it optimal to be used with varying pulse widths in the radar. Employing a total of 128 taps, the FIR filter provides greater than 50-dB sharp attenuation in the stop band in order to minimize all out-of-band noise in the low signal-to-noise received radar signal. Fabricated in a 0.18-µm silicon on insulator CMOS process, the proposed filter consumes approximately 3.5mW/tap with a 1.8-V supply. A 20-MHz two-tone measurement with 200-kHz tone separation shows IIP3 greater than 8.5dBm.

- Second-order filters use two cascaded RC sections, with resistors and capacitors determining the high cutoff frequency.
- Active filters offer advantages over passive filters like adjustable gain and no loading effects.
- The document proposes F.Live, a framework for interactive live broadcast free-viewpoint TV experiences.
- F.Live uses a view-based delivery approach with no content aggregation, distributed entities, and P2P sharing between audiences.
- Key challenges addressed are synchronization delay between views, maintaining fresh content, and limiting producer bandwidth consumption with large audiences.

This document discusses the commissioning and acceptance testing of a medical linear accelerator (LINAC). It covers regulatory requirements, installation, commissioning, and time planning for the LINAC and radiotherapy facility. It also discusses various technical reports and task group publications that provide guidelines for LINAC quality assurance, including beam data collection and commissioning.

Proper time management is also required to complete the commissioning and acceptance testing.
SSB or Single Side Band modulation is the most efficient form analog modulation techniques. SSB is derived from amplitude modulation (AM) and this modulation scheme overcomes a number of the disadvantages of AM. In modern DSP applications, it is used extensively in DSP processors, short-range communication and underwater communication. Thus, the scope of implementing efficient SSB schemes is enormous.
One of the most widely, implemented methods for SSB generation is Hartley modulator. This
architecture employs a “Hilbert Transform” filter. The Hilbert Transform, basically gives a 90-degree
phase shift. The project explored here, also uses the Hartley architecture. This project explores the
limitations of this architecture, and implements a method which employs a dual filter approach to
tackle the limitations.
The dual filter approach here uses, 2 45degree dual shifters. In traditional Hartley architecture which uses 90 degree filters to achieve SSB waveform are found to have limitations with phase and amplitude mismatch. Also, there is delay which causes the output SSB waveform to distort. Here a novel approach, using 2 45 degree dual shifter filters, with same characteristics are used to overcome these limitations. The model is first tested using MATLAB and then implemented using VHDL for Xilinx series of FPGAs.

Wavelength accuracy is defined as the deviation of a measured wavelength from the known wavelength of an absorption or emission band. Wavelength accuracy and repeatability are important for UV/VIS instruments, as small deviations can cause errors in qualitative and quantitative analysis. Array-based instruments generally have better wavelength stability than scanning instruments, which have moving parts prone to misalignment. Various pharmacopeias specify wavelength accuracy requirements, with some applications requiring sub-nanometer accuracy. Regular calibration using reference standards like holmium oxide is needed to ensure wavelength accuracy is maintained over time.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
