Beam diagnostic devices are essential tools to sense the properties of beam in particle accelerators. Position Monitors (BPMs) used detect transverse spatial coordinates. A large number high-resolution resonant cavity BPMs, operating at 14 GHz, proposed monitor orbit two main linacs CLIC project. This paper discusses innovative calibration techniques on a dedicated test bench frame PACMAN The p...

Pathways of genes found in protein interaction networks are used to establish a functional linkage between genes. A challenging problem in analysis of gene networks is to find pairs of compensatory pathways which can substitute for each other in case of a defective gene. All previous approaches on finding between-pathway models (BPMs) use the genetic network, while some of them also require eac...

Business process management systems have demonstrated benefits at the process level, but evidence of firm level effects is inconclusive. We argue that as BPMS utilization grows, its use could become more routinized. Routinization tends to minimize search and can lead to competency traps. Furthermore, as more processes are managed within a BPMS framework, there will tend to be more shared module...

Business process analysts prefer to build business process models (BPM) using graphical languages like BPMN or UML Activity Diagrams. Several researchers have presented validation methologies for such BPMs. In order to use these verification techniques for BPMs written in graphical languages, the models must be translated into the input language of a model checker or simulation tool. By analyzi...

Business processes in today’s industry are getting more complex and resource-intensive from day to day. Cloud computing offers methods and technologies that can help managing this steadily increase of complexity in the business process executions. A new class of Business Process Management Systems (BPMS), called elastic BPMS (eBPMS), is using Cloud computing resources for the enactment of so-ca...

There are 108 beam position monitors in the PLS for the orbit measurement and closed orbit correction. As the BPM pickup electrodes are assembled directly on the 10m-long vacuum chamber, calibration of the electrical center of BPMs have been done with the external rf transmission-reflection method. Since the closed orbit distortion is still larger than 500 mm rms, we are developing the beam-bas...

A complex geometric model for describing the 3D structure of plant canopies is presented. The Botanical Plant Modelling System (BPMS) allows a complete (topologically accurate) 3D geometric description of a canopy to be constructed. The model can be used for simulating the optical scattered radiation field of plant canopies, soil, or other topography through Monte Carlo ray tracing, which provi...
