We report on the status of emittance tuning techniques at the CESR Test Accelerator (CesrTA). The CesrTA experimental program requires that we operate in a variety of machine lattices, each with the smallest possible emittance. We utilize high-bandwidth BPM electronics for fast, precision measurements of orbit, betatron phase, transverse coupling, and dispersion. Analysis of the data and implem...

The surveillance game [Fomin et al., 2012] models the problem of web-page prefetching as a pursuit evasion game played on a graph. This two-player game is played turn-by-turn. The first player, called the observer, can mark a fixed amount of vertices at each turn. The second one controls a surfer that stands at vertices of the graph and can slide along edges. The surfer starts at some initially...

in this paper, we develop an inventory model with delay in payments for deteriorating items. in our model, retailer who purchases the items enjoys a fixed credit period offered by his/her supplier and, in turn, also offers a credit period to his/her customers in order to promote the market competition. the demand is assumed to be linear function of the retailer's current-stock level. the effect...

Pathogenic bacteria express distinct sets of genes at different stages in their life cycles; inappropriate expression of normally repressed genes during host colonization can interfere with bacterial survival.

Recently, many web services to provide information for public transport are developed and released. They are optimized for mobile devices such a smartphone. We are also developing better path planning system for route buses and trains called “Bus-Net”[1]. However these systems only provide paths and related information before the user start moving. So we propose a context aware navigation to ch...

The coherent beam-beam interaction in the absence of Ladau damping is studied with a computer simulation of four, space-charge compensate colliding beams. Results are presented for the modes, phase space structures, widths, and growth rates of coherent beam-beam resonances. These results are compared with solutions of the Vlasov equation, and with measurements made at the DCI storage ring which...

Signalized intersections on high-volume arterials are often congested during peak hours, causing a decrease in through movement efficiency on the arterial. Much of the vehicle delay incurred at conventional intersections is caused by high left-turn demand. Unconventional intersection designs attempt to reduce intersection delay and travel time by rerouting left-turns away from the main intersec...

For the stable high-luminosity operation and luminosity-increase, the electron and positron storage rings of the KEK B-Factory (KEKB) is equipped with various beam instrumentations, which have being working well since the start of the commissioning in December, 1998. Details and performance of the beam-position monitor system based on the spectrum analysis using DSPs, the turn by turn BPM with ...

We propose to generate steady-state microbunching in a storage ring with a reversible seeding scheme. High gain harmonic generation (HGHG) and echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) are two promising methods for microbunching linac electron beams. Because both schemes increase the energy spread of the seeded beam, they cannot drive a coherent radiator turn-by-turn in a storage ring. However, r...
