OBJECTIVE This study compared women who sex trade for drugs, money, or both compared to neither (did not sex trade), and introduced the concept of trait displaced aggression to the literature on sex trading. METHODS Female participants (n=1055) were recruited from a low-income area of southern California. Measures included: the Risk Behavior Assessment (RBA), Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS), ...

The ATLAS Experiment is reworking and upgrading systems during the current LHC shutdown. In particular, the Pixel detector is inserting an additional inner layer called Insertable B-Layer (IBL). The Read-Out Driver card (ROD), the Back-of-Crate card (BOC), and the S-Link together form the essential frontend data path of the IBL’s off-detector DAQ system. The strategy for IBL ROD firmware develo...

The BaBar online data acquisition (DAQ) system includes approximately fifty Unix systems that collectively implement the level-three trigger. These systems all run the same code. Each of these systems has its own state, and this state is expected to change in response to changes in the overall DAQ system. A specialized subsystem has been developed to initiate processing on this collection of sy...

In inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), short transient signals originating from individual nanoparticles are typically recorded in a time-resolvedmeasurement with reduced dwell times in themillisecond time regime. This approachwas termed single-particle ICP-MS in the past and used for particle counting and sizing but is not without limitations. In this work, a home-built data...

Driven by the increasing channel count of neural probes, there is much effort being directed to creating increasingly scalable electrophysiology data acquisition (DAQ) systems. However, all such systems still rely on personal computers for data storage, and thus are limited by the bandwidth and cost of the computers, especially as the scale of recording increases. Here we present a novel archit...

This paper describes the progression towards an object-oriented (OO) environment for software development as used in the RD13 research project for data acquisition systems of high energy physics experiments. A general description of the RD13 DAQ system and the existing software development environment is followed by an overview of the selected OO method and associated CASE tool. How the method ...

This paper presents the feasibility of implementing single channel negative feedback Active Noise Cancellation technique using adaptive filters in Real-time environment[1]. In order to establish the suitability and credibility of LMS Algorithm for adaptive filtering in real world scenario, its efficiency was tested beyond system based ideal simulations. Within the MATLAB® software environment t...
