We propose a robust procedure based on the regularized phase-tracking (RPT) technique to demodulate squared-grating deflectograms. The use of squared gratings, already reported, lets us multiplex the information of the deflections in two orthogonal directions in a single image, thus avoiding the necessity of rotating the gratings. The good noise-rejection characteristics of the RPT technique ar...

HISPEC (High-resolution in-flight spectroscopy) deals with a versatile, high resolution, high efficiency spectroscopy set-up to address questions in nuclear structure, reactions and astrophysics using radioactive beams from the Super FRS with energies of 3-150 MeV/u. The radioactive beams will be used for γ-ray, charged particle and neutron spectroscopy. The HISPEC set-up will comprise beam tra...

Currently, various industrial processes are carried out in fluidized bed reactors. Knowing its internal dynamics is fundamental for the intensification of these processes. This work assesses motion calcium alginate spheres under influence an upward fluid flow within a 1.2 m high and 0.1 inner diameter acrylic column. The liquid–solid was compared with gas–liquid–solid operation mode terms mixin...

Although one of the simplest and powerful approaches for the demodulation of a single fringe pattern with closed fringes is the regularized phase-tracking (RPT) technique, this technique has two important drawbacks: its sensibility at the fringe-pattern modulation and the time employed in the estimation. We present modifications to the RPT technique that consist of the inclusion of a rough esti...

Segmentation is ajimdamental process affecting the overall quality and utility of a machine vision system. Range Profile Tracking (RPT) is a systematic approach for stable, accurate and high speed segmentation of range images that is based on Kalman filtering. Tests of RPT have produced stable decompositions of second order surfaces bounded by jump and crease discontinuities, having a volumetri...

Can AI help automate human-easy but computer-hard data preparation tasks that burden scientists, practitioners, and crowd workers? We answer this question by presenting RPT, a denoising autoencoder for tuple-to-X models (" X " could be tuple, token, label, JSON, so on). RPT is pre-trained tuple-to-tuple model corrupting the input tuple then learning to reconstruct original tuple. It adopts Tran...

In a modern large-capacity magnetic hard disk drive (HDD), both fast track seeking and perfect positioning of the read/write head are required. Mode switching control (MSC) approaches are widely used to meet these requirements. This paper proposes a new approach in designing MSC with an application to HDD servo systems. The proposed scheme uses a proximate time-optimal servomechanism in the tra...

BACKGROUND This study examined the hypothesis that 26S proteasome dysfunction in human end-stage heart failure is associated with decreased docking of the 19S regulatory particle to the 20S proteasome. Previous studies have demonstrated that 26S proteasome activity is diminished in human end-stage heart failure associated with oxidation of the 19S regulatory particle Rpt5 subunit. Docking of th...

Prefetching and prepromotion are two important techniques for hiding the memory access latency. Reference prediction tables (RPT) plays a significant role in the process of prefetching or prepromoting data with linear memory access patterns. The traditional RPT management, LRU replacement algorithm, can not manage RPT efficiently. This leads to that large RPT has to be used for the considerable...

This study investigated the effects of reciprocal peer tutoring (RPT) on student achievement, motivation, and attitudes. Four sections of an educational technology course were randomly assigned to one RPT and one non-RPT group. Participants in the RPT group were then randomly assigned to groups to tutor and support each other while participants in the non-RPT group worked individually. The resu...
