In this paper, two kinds of fuzzy approaches are proposed for not only multiobjective stochastic linear programming problems, but also multiobjective fuzzy random linear programming problems through a probability maximization model. In a probability maximization model, it is necessary for the decision maker to specify permissible values of objective functions in advance, which have a great infl...

Future linear colliders will likely use sophisticated beambased alignment and/or steering algorithms to control the growth of the beam emittance in the linac. In this paper, a mathematical framework is presented which simplifies the evaluation of the effectiveness of these algorithms. As an application, a quad alignment algorithm that uses beam data taken with the nominal linac optics, and with...

This application note describes the use and implementation of elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) on the MAXQ1103 microcontroller's modular arithmetic accelerator (MAA) module. Performance figures are given for a standard 160-bit curve specified in Standards for Efficient Cryptography published by Certicom®.

Techniques of aligning linear accelerators are discussed with specific reference to the alignment system of the two-mile accelerator. This system uses a "three-point" method by which a point which is to be aligned is brought into coincidence with the line as defined by its end points. The end _ points;ye a laser and a photo-el-ctril debecior. A rectangular Fresnel lens is 1oc;ted at each pc'nt ...

A mutant strain that secretes twice as much cellulase as its parent was obtained by irradiating conidia of Trichoderma viride QM 6a with a linear accelerator.

Accurate modelling of the radiation output of a medical linear accelerator is important for radiotherapy treatment planning. The major challenge is the adjustment of the model to a specific treatment unit. One approach is to use a multiple-source model containing a set of physical parameters. In this work, the parameters were derived from standard beam data measurements using optimization metho...

We give a detailed account of the theoretical analysis and the experimental results of an X-ray-diffraction experiment on quantum-state selected and strongly laser-aligned gas-phase ensembles of the prototypical large asymmetric rotor molecule 2,5-diiodobenzonitrile, performed at the Linac Coherent Light Source [Phys. Rev. Lett.112, 083002 (2014)]. This experiment is the first step toward coher...

In this paper we consider the Two-stage Stochastic Linear Programming (TSLP) problem with continuous random parameters. A common way to approximate the TSLP problem, generally intractable, is to discretize the random parameters into scenarios. Another common approximation only considers the expectation of the parameters, that is, the expected scenario. In this paper we introduce the conditional...
