Results of analysis of XRCF ACIS pileup tests H-IAI-CR-1.001, 1.003 and 1.005 are presented. In this series of tests with monotically increasing Al Kα source flux (ranging from ∼ 0.3 to ∼ 3.0 ACIS counts/frame in the absence of pileup) incident on a frontside-illuminated CCD, various symptoms of pileup — image degradation, grade migration, count rate non-linearity, and event pulse height confus...

Tissue microarray technology enables us to evaluate the pattern of protein expression in large numbers of samples. However, manual data acquisition and analysis still represent a challenge because they are subjective and time-consuming. Automated analysis may thus increase the speed and reproducibility of evaluation. However, the reliability of automated analysis systems should be independently...

Abstract. Cloud microphysics is critical for weather and climate prediction. In this work, we document updates corrections to the cloud microphysical scheme used in Community Earth System Model (CESM) other models. These include a new nomenclature scheme, now called Parameterization of Unified Microphysics Across Scales (PUMAS), ability run on graphics processing units (GPUs). The main science ...

Using bibliographic data extracted from an Endnote database, social network analysis techniques were used to generate and analyse a network of co-authors with the aim of developing an understanding of the research community that produces the research knowledge published by the Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS). The ACIS community was found to be a healthy small-world communi...

Early detection of occlusal caries in children is challenging for the dentists, because of the morphology of pit and fissures. The aim of this study was to compare in vitro the diagnostic performance of low-powered magnification with light-emitting diode headlight (LPMLED) using ICDAS-II criteria and AC Impedance Spectroscopy (ACIS) device, on occlusal surfaces of primary molars. The occlusal s...

Abstract The Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) imaged the high-mass ? -ray binary HESS J0632+057 with Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS). We analyzed CXO data together 967 ks of archival Swift-XRT observations. On arcsecond scales we find a hint asymmetric extended emission. arcminute scales, region emission (“the blob”), located <mml:math ...

An 80 ksec Chandra ACIS observation of the radio galaxy 3C 452 is reported. A diffuse X-ray emission associated with the lobes has been detected with high statistical significance, together with the X-ray nucleus of the host galaxy. The 0.5–5 keV ACIS spectrum of the diffuse emission is described by a twocomponent model, consisting of a soft thermal plasma emission from the host galaxy halo and...

The ACIS front-illuminated CCDs on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory were damaged in the extreme environment of the Earth's radiation belts, resulting in enhanced charge transfer inefficiency (CTI). This produces a row dependence in gain, event grade, and energy resolution. We model the CTI as a function of input photon energy, including the effects of detrapping (charge trailing), shielding ...
