The SEVIRI is a 50 cm diameter aperture, line by line scanning radiometer, which provides image data in four Visible and Near InfraRed (VNIR) channels and eight InfraRed (IR) channels. The VNIR channels include the High-Resolution Visible (HRV) channel, which contains 9 broadband detection elements to scan the Earth with a 1 km sampling distance at SSP. All the other channels (including the IR ...

The description of the PESCA instrument control system is presented. The PESCA instrument has been designed and built with the purpose of studying the Solar Energetic Particles and the Anomalous Cosmic Rays from helium to iron in the energy range 1.5-50 MeV/uma and will be part of the Russian PHOTON satellite payload. The instrument comprises two different blocks: the PESCA Instrument Amplifica...

Pronalazak konstrukcije pravoga kuta odrazio se i u građevinarstvu i urbanizmu te limitiranju poljoprivrednih površina. Auktor opisuje nadgrobni spomenik rimskog agrimenzora iz Pompeja i zagonetni nalaz iz Pfiinza. Prihvaća rekonstrukciju pompejanskoga nalaza s tim da se jednonožni stalak radi stabilizacije instrumenta zamijeni tronolnim. Slobodno ovješene vizirne niti nategnute viškovima na vj...

Recent years have seen rapid increases in the variety, cost and complexity of instruments used in analytical chemistry. Gone are the days when choice was a simple task and any mistake did not lead to a major financial embarassment which had to be lived with for perhaps a decade. Not only is the capital investment required in the laboratory increasing, but, in the present world economic climate,...

This paper is a report on the development of a new musical instrument in which the main concept is "Untouchable". The key concept of this instrument is "sound generation by body gesture (both hands)" and "sound generation by kneading with hands". The new composition project had completed as the premiere of a new work “controllable untouchableness” with this new instrument in December 2009.

The lack of reliable data for ground solar irradiance (direct normal and global irradiance) is a major obstacle for the development of adequate policies to promote and take advantage of existing solar technologies. Although the radiation that reaches the outer layers of the atmosphere is well defined and can be easily calculated, the solar irradiance that reaches the ground level where solar co...

We extend the classic multi-armed bandit (MAB) model to the setting of noncompliance, where the arm pull is a mere instrument and the treatment applied may differ from it, which gives rise to the instrument-armed bandit (IAB) problem. The IAB setting is relevant whenever the experimental units are human since free will, ethics, and the law may prohibit unrestricted or forced application of trea...

* Initial research location for Isbister was DSV; continuing project work is being conducted at Rensselaer. ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel approach to the measure of people’s affective responses to interactive systems. Our approach is based upon recent research on the workings of emotions in human beings, an interest in addressing the multi-sensory nature of emotion, and a desire to tak...
