This memo describes the software engineering and technical details of the design and implementation of the wvrgcal program and associated libraries. This program performs off-line correction of atmospheric phase fluctuations in ALMA observations, using the 183 GHz Water Vapour Radiometers (WVRs) installed on the ALMA 12 m dishes. The memo can be used as a guide for detailed study of the source ...

This article raises questions about the ways culture affects the nature of health care services. By examining the life story of Alma, a Central American woman who has a daughter with disabilities; her interactions with health care providers; and my own assumptions about cultural differences, I note the impact of cultural differences on coping and adaptation in Alma and in the health care system...

Abstract: A high speed low power analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using the 0.25μm BiCMOS SiGe technology from ST Microelectronics has been developed to meet the specifications of the ALMA project. The main features of this ADC are: 3-bit resolution (8 quantization levels) in Gray code, an input bandwidth from 2 to 4 GHz, 4 GHz sampling rate (and possible operation up to 5 GHz), LVDS standard ...

Many tools can be automatically derived from formal language definitions, such as compilers/interpreters, editors, analyzers, visualizers/animators, etc. Some examples of languagebased tools generated automatically by the LISA system are described in the paper. In addition the specification of an algorithm animator and program visualizer, Alma, generated from an extended LISA input-grammar is d...

With the ability to see into optically obscured regions with more than an order of magnitude better sensitivity and spatial resolution relative to current (sub)mm telescopes, ALMA will provide a unique look into the physics of galaxy formation and active galactic nuclei. In this paper I summarize the ALMA potential for studying star forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei from the nearby un...

Deep water formation (DWF) in the North Western Mediterranean (NWMed) is a key feature of overturning circulation. DWF changes under global warming may have an impact on biogeochemistry and marine ecosystem. Here we analyze deep convection Gulf Lions (GoL) changing climate using regional system model with horizontal resolution high enough to represent DWF. We find that RCP8.5 scenario NWMed col...

During the fall of 2015, the Augusta University Libraries began the process of implementing Ex Libris’ nextgeneration library management solution, Alma. This process is occurring in various phases, with the initial steps being data clean-up and migration. As part of the migration process, cataloging records that are currently created and maintained by both university libraries will be migrated ...
