The US HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project (AUP) is building Nb 3 Sn quadrupole magnets, called MQXFA, with plans to install 16 of them in the Interaction Regions. Variability coil size must be dealt at assembly level, which requires timely and repeatable measurement each coil. In this paper we w...

Image super-resolution (SR) methods can generate remote sensing images with high spatial resolution without increasing the cost of acquisition equipment, thereby providing a feasible way to improve quality images. Clearly, image SR is severe ill-posed problem. With development deep learning, powerful fitting ability neural networks has solved this problem some extent. Since texture information ...

A Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis of the mixed phosphine complexes Au(PPh 3 )(Ph 2 P(CH 2 ) 3 PPh 2 )X shows a clear trend in the metal geometry as the anion X is varied: the softer the anion, the more it is tetrahedral, or alternatively, the more ionic the complex, the more the complex geometry approaches trigonal planar. A strong (soft) donor as cyanide (X = CN) penetrates markedly t...

Facilitating access to the Internet is an important part of public library mission, and crucial in ensuring that all citizens have possibility contemporary digital information services. Part managing this relies on Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), agreement between user regarding conditions access. This article reports a national UK study AUPs development new model policy for libraries, which can b...

Hyperspectral image usually possesses complicated conditions of land-cover distribution, which brings challenge to achieve an effective background representation for hyperspectral anomaly detection. Sparse learning gives a way to overcome this obstacle. A novel sparsity score estimation framework for hyperspectral anomaly detection (SSEAD) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, an overcomplete dic...

This article is a tutorial on Internet privacy. The objective of the tutorial is to inform users of the Internet how and why their use of the Internet can be monitored. The focus of the tutorial is Internet privacy at home and in the work place. The tutorial has three major sections: Technical Background, Privacy At Home, and Privacy At Work. The At Home section is concerned with personal priva...

SUMMARY Automatic optimum network design for measuring complex industrial objects by vision metrology systems is a real challenge. In the absence of 3D simulated CAD models of the complex objects along with the absence of workspace information, several uncertain parameters are introduced into the camera placement decision-making process. These uncertain factors include the vision constraints su...

We measured conductance traces while breaking gold point contacts in a solution of molecules containing the μ-p-phenylenediethynyl X-CtC-C6H4-CtC-X unit, with eight different capping X groups: AuP(OMe)3 (1), H (2), SiMe3 (3), Au-P(cy)3 (4), Au-PMe2Ph (5), Au-PMePh2 (6), Au-PMe3 (7), and AuPPh3 (8). Our goal with this work was to achieve a direct Au-C link with a conjugated organic group, potent...
