This is due, in part, to the meagre survival of letters and practice records from 1772, the year he commenced work in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, on completing an assistan...
متن کاملPreparing Accelerator Systems for the RHIC Sextant Commissioning
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) construction is progressing steadily towards completion in 1999 when beams will circulate in both collider rings. One of the major tests of the RHIC project was the commissioning of the first sextant with gold ion beams in early 1997. This is a report on preparation of the RHIC accelerator systems for the first sextant test. It includes beam position m...
متن کاملUncertainty propagation or box propagation
This paper discusses the use of recently developed techniques and software in the numerical propagation of uncertainties in initial coordinates and/or parameters for initial value problems. We present an approach based on several validated numerical integration techniques but focusing on the propagation of boxes. The procedure uses a multivariable high order Taylor series development of the sol...
متن کاملSexTant: Visualizing Time-Evolving Linked Geospatial Data
We present SexTant, a Web-based system for the visualization and exploration of time-evolving linked geospatial data and the creation, sharing, and collaborative editing of “temporally-enriched” thematic maps which are produced by combining different sources of such data.
متن کاملRobot Localization Using a Computer Vision Sextant
This paper explores the possibility of using Sun altitude for localization of a robot in totally unknown territory. A set of Sun altitudes is obtained by processing a sequence of time-indexed images of the sky. Each altitude constrains the viewer to a circle on the surface of a celestial body, called the circle of equal altitude. A set of circles of equal altitude can be intersected to yield vi...
