Many aspects of the architecture and performance requirements of the electronics system for the BABAR Experiment are similar to those for the much larger LHC experiments. We briefly describe the requirements and architecture of BABAR Electronics, focusing on aspects that are similar to the LHC. We then discuss the experience of developing the system from design to operation, including such topi...

The usage of regenerable low power sources is currently rather reduced. Utilization of some specialized softwares of SCADA type allow the operation of the low-power hydroelectric power plants in automatic regime, without local monitoring personnel, these being able to be remotely monitored and controlled. In this way, the utilization of such power plants becomes profitable. A special importance...

With the successful commissioning and achievement of significant milestones at both the 7-GeV Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory and the 1.5-GeV Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, synchrotron radiation research capability in the United States holds the promise of many important discoveries in the decade to come. An overview of current ...

We describe the commissioning of the high-power RF stations for the PEP-II B factory. This includes in-situ testing and conditioning of components after installation, phasing of cavities within each station and between stations in each ring, capture of fist beam, stored-beam operation at lowand moderatecurrent, commissioning of feedback loops, and high-current operation. Performance of the over...

The feedback systems for controlling transverse coupled-bunch instabilities in both the high and low energy rings of the PEP-II collider are complete and installed on site. Presently, the high energy ring of the collider is beginning commissioning. The commissioning of the high energy ring transverse feedback system is expected to begin sometime in the next few weeks. Design specifications and ...

In December 2015, the UK government announced that planned changes to the commissioning of healthcare for people held in police custody in England andWales would not proceed. These changes had been well considered (having been in planning since a key report by Lord Bradley in 2009), set out formally, and described as one route to securing excellence. The government announcement, however, means ...

Purpose: Assessment of project commissioning and management transfer Pakali Bharaul water supply sanitation projects were done systematically for assuring smooth operation the system. Design/Methodology/Approach: Sunsari district with Itahari sub metropolitan Barahchetra municipality chosen as research region because it contains a mixed-race population is close to Indian border. Interviews, fie...

The Pan-Thames Haemophilia Consortium was established to provide coherent regional planning of haemophilia services. The Expert Advisory Group is a clinical reference point for the consortium and was established to consider specifically elective high cost treatment programmes. An audit of the first year of consortium activity demonstrated that patients receiving high cost therapy represented 1....

An online monitoring framework has been written in the Java Language Environment to develop applications for monitoring special purpose detectors during commissioning of the PEP-II Interaction Region. PEP-II machine parameters and signals from several of the commissioning detectors are logged through VxWorks/EPICS and displayed by Java display applications. Remote clients are able to monitor th...

The GEO 600 gravitational wave detector located near Hannover in Germany is part of an international network of gravitational wave observatories. As more and more of these detectors approach their final configuration, the focus is shifted from commissioning to detector characterization. At the moment, GEO 600, the first detector using advanced technologies such as dual recycling, is preparing f...
