Abstract In the Photon Factory 2.5 GeV electron storage ring at KEK, the upgrade project of its straight sections is underway. In the project, we improve the beam-position monitors (BPMs) and the global orbit feedback system. New BPMs are designed and installed in the straight sections and the orbit stabilization system is improved. The effect RF phase modulation to the beam position fluctuatio...

Title of Document: LONGITUDINAL SPACE-CHARGE WAVES INDUCED BY ENERGY MODULATIONS Brian L. Beaudoin, Master of Science, 2008 Directed By: Professor Patrick G. O’Shea and Professor Rami A. Kishek Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering High intensity beams that are space-charge dominated are important for applications such as free electron lasers that require high intensity and low emit...

The turn-by-turn directions provided in existing navigation applications are exclusively derived from underlying road network topology information, i.e., the connectivity of edges to each other. Therefore, the turn-by-turn directions are simplified as metric translation of physical world (e.g. distance/time to turn) to spoken language. Such translation that ignores human cognition of the geogra...

Mimetics of secondary structure elements are one promising approach in the design of protein-protein interaction inhibitors, since secondary structure elements are very important recognition motifs in protein-protein interfaces. In helices and turns, the protein backbone provides a scaffold to present the sidechains in the correct orientation for the three-dimensional interaction motif. For bot...

As typical turn by turn systems fail in several aspects to provide an engaging experience to pedestrians in urban environments, we investigate the potential of alternative interaction methods for navigation. We present a two-phase experiment, involving both audio and tactile navigation and discuss the collected evaluation data. Our findings show a positive reception of implicit navigation from ...

Nonlinear field is of importance for the design and operation of circular machines and nonlinear beam dynamics has been intensively investigated both theoretically and experimentally [1]. Theoretically, nonlinear elements are designed on purpose to assist the operation of the machines e.g., the correction of the chromatic aberration and/or slow extraction with the help of sextupole magnets, the...

Navigation systems allow to discover cities and their urban areas easily and quickly, finding the shortest path to reach them and giving directions to users saving their time and energy. At present time, these systems are based over streets maps offered by the major mapping services like Tele Atlas, Navteq or OpenStreetMap. In recent years, thanks to the Google StreetView service it has been po...

Information about waste water from the manufacture offibreboard is given, and in this connection a classification of suspended and dissolved impurities occurring in the waste water of fibreboard mills is made. The influence on the concentration and the total amount of such impurities are discussed as a function of the extent of closing of the process wa ter system. Various methods of treatment ...

Rhythmic movements are often controlled by systems containing coupled subnetworks whose oscillations are of different frequencies. We show how fast inhibition from the pyloric network interacts with a slow modulatory input to control the frequency of the gastric mill rhythm of the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion. We deduce that the timing of the pyloric input is crucial in determining what a...
