Research on precise trigonometric leveling in place of first order leveling

Troposphere Modeling and Filtering for Precise GPS Leveling

Luminosity leveling with angle

The very high luminosity foreseen for the LHC luminosity upgrade entails in all cases a significant luminosity decrease during a few hours run. We present in this note a new method of luminosity leveling, based on the on-line adjustment of the crossing angle, while keeping the optics unchanged. It is implemented using the D0 dipole of a possible Early Separation Scheme and an orbit corrector. T...

Leveling the Grid

Motivated by an application in image processing, we introduce the grid-leveling problem. It turns out to be the dual of a minimum cost flow problem for an apex graph with a grid graph as its basis. We present an O(n) algorithm for this problem. The optimum solution recovers missing DC coefficients from image and video coding by Discrete Cosine Transform used in popular standards like JPEG and M...

Multi-lingual Text Leveling

Determining the language proficiency level required to understand a given text is a key requirement in vetting documents for use in second language learning. In this work, we describe our approach for developing an automatic text analytic to estimate the text difficulty level using the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) proficiency scale. The approach we take is to use machine translation to...
