AbstractA software package to be used in high-speed oscilloscope-based three-dimensional bunch-by-bunch charge and position measurement is presented. The software package takes the pick-up electrode signal waveform recorded by the high-speed oscilloscope as input, and it calculates and outputs the bunch-by-bunch charge and position. In addition to enabling a three-dimensional observation of the motion of each passing bunch on all beam position monitor pick-up electrodes, it offers many additional features such as injection analysis, bunch response function reconstruction, and turn-by-turn beam analysis. The software package has an easy-to-understand graphical user interface and convenient interactive operation, which has been verified on the Windows 10 system.

The stability of the photon beam position on synchrotron beamlines is critical for most if not all synchrotron radiation experiments. The position of the beam at the experiment or optical element location is set by the position and angle of the electron beam source as it traverses the magnetic field of the bend-magnet or insertion device. Thus an ideal photon beam monitor would be able to simultaneously measure the photon beam's position and angle, and thus infer the electron beam's position in phase space. X-ray diffraction is commonly used to prepare monochromatic beams on X-ray beamlines usually in the form of a double-crystal monochromator. Diffraction couples the photon wavelength or energy to the incident angle on the lattice planes within the crystal. The beam from such a monochromator will contain a spread of energies due to the vertical divergence of the photon beam from the source. This range of energies can easily cover the absorption edge of a filter element such as iodine at 33.17 keV. A vertical profile measurement of the photon beam footprint with and without the filter can be used to determine the vertical centroid position and angle of the photon beam. In the measurements described here an imaging detector is used to measure these vertical profiles with an iodine filter that horizontally covers part of the monochromatic beam. The goal was to investigate the use of a combined monochromator, filter and detector as a phase-space beam position monitor. The system was tested for sensitivity to position and angle under a number of synchrotron operating conditions, such as normal operations and special operating modes where the photon beam is intentionally altered in position and angle at the source point. The results are comparable with other methods of beam position measurement and indicate that such a system is feasible in situations where part of the synchrotron beam can be used for the phase-space measurement.

In the present work, a commercial CFD software package, FLUENT, was used to develop a three-dimensional model of pusher-type billet reheating furnace for the second high speed wire rod plant of XiangTan Iron and steel Co. Ltd. The purpose of the study was to gain a better understanding of the gas flow and velocity and pressure distribution in the furnace. The results show that the numerical results are in agreement with the practice and the characteristics of the furnace configuration. The CFD model can be used to improve the performance and structure by analyzing and studying the behavior of the reheating furnace.

In order to clarify the destruction mechanism of large structures in large seismic movements, a non-contacting displacement measurement system with a three-dimensional dynamic position with high precision is required. We have developed a three-dimensional measuring system with image processing using optical motion capture technology. This system consists of light emitting markers installed on the object structure and plural high speed cameras which obtain images of markers’ movement simultaneously, to measure the dynamic position of the three dimensional spatial coordinates of the markers. In order to measure the dynamic position with high precision, we have ever developed sub-pixel processing method which is able to measure very small displacements of the markers by analyzing the luminance distribution. Moreover, we have developed a new marker of spherical surface emission type which formed the luminance profile to improve furthermore the accuracy in rotational movement. Shaking tests were carried out with this measuring system and the results indicated that this system using new markers had sufficient accuracy within errors of a few millimeters in the structure of a 4 meter cube. Consequently, we have acquired the potential to apply to the measurement to the 3-D Full Scale Earthquake Testing Facility (E-Defense).

ABSTRACT A comprehensive model of the dynamic, three-dimensional physical fates of contaminants in the marine environment has been developed. For oil spills, dissolution of aromatics from surface slicks and entrained oil droplets are the source of potential effects for biota in the water column. Oil on the surface and along shorelines provides the basis for evaluation of impacts on birds, marine mammals, and recreational activities. A graphical user interface couples the model to a variety of environmental databases and tools to facilitate specific applications and viewing of simulation results.

Tools And Methods

Open grazing or free-range grazing is one of the methods employed by the Nigeria nomadic cattle herders to provide pasture for their cattle. This method of providing pasture for cattle comes with so many challenges among which are cow swapping, ownership disputes, rustling and cow intrusion to farmland. Some existing methods of guiding against these challenges are expensive, injurious, and unreliable to apply. The objective of this paper is to develop an enhanced and affordable software package for cow recognition and identification using a graphical user interface and information encoding method. Data analysis module with software application for the analysis of the generated code is proposed; the software application installed on a computer or smart-phone may be standalone or otherwise. Data about individual cow is digitally collected, coded and stored using necessary resources, tools, and methods. Moreover, by tagging individual cow with the generated code, and matching the code with the ones in the database using code reader, individual cow can be recognized and identified.Keywords: Open grazing; Free-range grazing; Nomadic herder; Cow identification; Pasture.
