This paper discusses the present data acquisition system (DAQ) of the COMPASS experiment at CERN and presents development of a new DAQ. The new DAQ must preserve present data format and be able to communicate with FPGA cards. Parts of the new DAQ are based on state machines and they are implemented in C++ with usage of the QT framework, the DIM library, and the IPBus technology. Prototype of th...

The undergraduate laboratory sequence in mechanical engineering (ME) at Mississippi State University (MSU) begins with ME 3701—Experimental Orientation, a one-hour laboratory focusing on engineering measurements, instrumentation, and modern data acquisition (DAQ) systems. Instruction and student projects in ME at MSU concerning modern DAQ systems have changed considerably in past five years. On...

Forty recent clinical isolates of three different Candida sp. were tested in the microtiter system for susceptibility to two new 2,4-diaminoquinazoline (DAQ) compounds, amphotericin B and flucytosine. The two DAQ preparations showed activity similar to amphotericin B and flucytosine. The geometric mean minimal inhibitory concentrations for these four drugs were as follows: DAQ 1A, 0.64 mug/ml; ...

A possible breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes was made with the discovery that a fungal natural product, demethylasterriquinone B1 (DAQ B1), is an orally active, small-molecule mimic of insulin. Subsequent work has shown that the glucose-lowering effects of DAQ B1 are not accompanied by enhanced vascular proliferation, which is a side effect of chronic insulin administration that can lea...

Network technologies such as Java and Microsoft ActiveX may become powerful tools to construct the distributed and scalable data acquisition system(DAQ). We have developed Java interface to CAMAC and investigated the application of HORB(distributed Java) to the DAQ. We have also evaluated Microsoft OLEautomation technique(OCX) with combining the objects to Excel as the analysis process over net...

Nowadays, a DAQ system is a complex network of processors, sensors and many other active devices. Historically, providing a framework for DAQ has been a very important role of host institutes of experiments. Reviewing evolution of such DAQ frameworks is a very interesting subject of the conference. ”Internet of Things” is a recent buzz word but a DAQ framework could be a good example of IoT.

BACKGROUND Depression is a common mental disorder associated with substantial disability. It is inadequately recognised and managed, and clinicians' attitudes to this condition and its treatment may play a part in this. Most research in this area has used the Depression Attitude Questionnaire (DAQ), but analyses have shown this measure to exhibit problems in psychometric properties and suitabil...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the abbreviated Desires for Alcohol Questionnaire (DAQ) with respect to component structure and concurrent validity. METHOD The DAQ was administered to 2,960 adults participating in the Collaborative Studies on the Genetics of Alcohol. Rotated principal components analysis was conducted on 1,500 subjects with an alcohol-use disorder (AUD) and on ...

Data quality is commonly defined as fitness for use. The problem of identifying the quality of data is faced by many data consumers. To make the task of finding good quality datasets more efficient, we introduce the Dataset Quality Ontology (daQ). The daQ is a lightweight, extensible vocabulary for attaching the results of quality benchmarking of a linked open dataset to that dataset. We discus...

This note reports on the Phase 1 Integration week, carried out from Jan 22nd to Jan 26th 2001. It summarizes the steps taken to achieve a fully integrated TDAQ system as well as the difficulties met and the open issues which will have to be addressed in future.
