Liquid argon is commonly used as a detector medium for neutrino physics and dark matter experiments in part due to its copious scintillation light production response excitation ionization by charged particle interactions. As appears the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) regime difficult detect, wavelength-shifting materials are typically convert VUV visible wavelengths more easily detectable convention...

In the first part of my lectures, I will use the example of deep-inelastic scattering to explain why light-front coordinates play a distinguished role in many high energy scattering experiments. After a brief introduction into the concept of light-front quantization, I will show that the vacuum for any light-front Hamiltonian is trivial, i.e. the same as for non-interacting fields. In the rest ...

We present a new fast method for simulating pencil-beam type light-cones, using the MLAPM-code (Multi Level Adaptive Particle Mesh) with light-cone additions. We show that by a careful choice of the light-cone orientation, it is possible to avoid extra periodicities in the light-cone. As an example, we apply the method to simulate a 6 Gpc deep light-cone, create the dark matter halo catalogue f...

PURPOSE To compare the sensitivity of the TonoLab rebound tonometer with the Tono-Pen in awake Brown Norway rats and to compare their ability to predict optic nerve damage induced by experimental IOP elevation. METHODS TonoLab and Tono-Pen tonometers were calibrated in cannulated rat eyes connected to a pressure transducer. The TonoLab was used in awake animals housed in standard lighting to ...

This paper presents a design of a LED dot matrix written display system using Single Chip Micyoco (SCM). It completes the data acquisition function through the light pen with excellent photographic performance phototransistor, then it can achieve the following functions, such as click light, draw light, reverse display, entire screen erasure, stroke erasure, multi characters written and so on. ...

We consider the effects of mutual transits by extrasolar planet-companion systems (in a true binary or a planet-satellite system) on light curves. We show that induced changes in light curves depend strongly on a ratio between a planet-companion’s orbital velocity around their host star and a planet-companion’s spin speed around their common center of mass. In both the slow and fast spin cases ...

Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All-Sky Monitor observations of the X-ray source 4U2206+54, previously proposed to be a Be star system, show the X-ray flux to be modulated with a period of approximately 9.6 days. If the modulation is due to orbital variability then this would be one of the shortest orbital periods known for a Be star X-ray source. However, the X-ray luminosity is relatively modest ...

The success and efficiency of pig farming mainly depends on the reproductive performance of pigs. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of presence of the boar on the reproductive performance of sows, the feasibility and economics of rearing pigs of either sex together. Sixteen weaned Large White Yorkshire gilts, twelve weaned sows and two boars were randomly assigned to five groups a...

A trial was conducted to study the effect of presence of the boar on the attainment puberty in gilts and the feasibility and economics of rearing pigs of either sex together. Sixteen weaned Large White Yorkshire gilts, twelve weaned sows and two boars were randomly assigned to five groups as T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 each consisting of six. Pigs T1 and T3 groups were bred at the body weight of 70-8...
