PESCA instrument control system

چکیده
The description of the PESCA instrument control system is presented. The PESCA instrument has been designed and built with the purpose of studying the Solar Energetic Particles and the Anomalous Cosmic Rays from helium to iron in the energy range 1.5-50 MeV/uma and will be part of the Russian PHOTON satellite payload. The instrument comprises two different blocks: the PESCA Instrument Amplification and Shaping Electronics (PIASE), for the amplification and analog to digital conversion, and the PESCA Instrument Control and Acquisition System (PICAS), for the control of the whole instrument. A system has been mounted to control and test the PESCA instrument. It allows the complete control over the instrument, verification and validation of the PESCA instrument (unit tests, integration tests and system tests) and PESCA calibration, from a single PC under Linux operating system.

متن کاملConstraints on Recreational Fishing Participation in Queensland, Australia
In response to a sharp decline in recreational fishing participation in Queensland, Australia, I sought to identify constraints experienced by fishers in Queensland and understand how demographic variables, fishing participation variables, and fishing motivations influence the amount and type of constraints experienced. In a survey of Queensland recreational fishers, 70% reported experiencing c...
متن کاملEffects of Artisanal Fishing on Marine Communities in the Galápagos Islands
The Galápagos Islands harbor some of the least impacted marine ecosystems in the tropics, but there are indications that local artisanal fishing is affecting exploited marine communities. To quantify these effects, I sampled communities of fishes and sea urchins at a number of heavily fished and lightly fished sites throughout the central islands of the archipelago. Sites were selected based on...
متن کاملFinding the shortest path with PesCa: a tool for network
Network analysis is of growing interest in several fields ranging from economics to biology. Several methods have been developed to investigate different properties of physical networks abstracted as graphs, including quantification of specific topological properties, contextual data enrichment, simulation of pathway dynamics and visual representation. In this context, the PesCa app for the Cyt...
