30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Experimental Details and Calibration of The FLASH Thin Target Experiment

The thin target mode of the FLASH (Fluorescence in Air from Showers) experiment was conducted at SLAC. The aim was to measure the total and spectrally resolved fluorescence yield of charged particles traveling through air to better than 10%. The setup consisted of a 15.24 cm thick gas volume which was viewed by two PMT detectors each equipped with 15 remotely interchangeable narrow band filters...

Materials. The PEDOT:PSS (Clevios PH 1000, 1 wt%) aqueous dispersion was purchased from Heraeus. Waterborne polyurethane (PU) was provided by DSM (China). Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS, Sylgard 184, Dow Corning) prepolymer was prepared by mixing base silicone gel with a curing agent in a 10:1 weight ratio. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was purchased from Aladdin Chemistry Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China....

Arguments Details

dyebias.application.subset Return a subset of reporters that can be dye bias-corrected reasonably well Description Convenience function returning a subset of reporters that can be expected to be corrected reasonably well. Often, the logical AND of this set and that of maW(data.norm) == 1.0 is used. The resulting subset is passed as the application.subset-argument to dyebias.apply.correction. Ar...

I describe the challenges involved in designing and evaluating high assurance, verifiable voting systems. I describe the Pret a Voter scheme that provides voterverifiablity with minimal trust in officials, software etc. I also describe a number of threats against voting schemes and the extent to which they apply to the basic Pret a Voter scheme. Some enhancements to the scheme designed to count...
