چکیده

The Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) is a 1500 square degree optical imaging survey with the recently commissioned OmegaCAM wide-field imager on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST). A suite of data products will be delivered to the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the community by the KiDS survey team. Spread over Europe, the KiDS team uses AstroWISE as its main tool to collaborate efficiently and pool hardware resources. In Astro-WISE the team shares, calibrates and archives all survey data. The data-centric architectural design realizes a dynamic ‘live archive’ in which new KiDS survey products of improved quality can be shared with the team and eventually the full astronomical community in a flexible and controllable manner.

DISCOVERY OF THREE z > 6.5 QUASARS IN THE VISTA KILO-DEGREE INFRARED GALAXY (VIKING) SURVEY

Studying quasars at the highest redshifts can constrain models of galaxy and black hole formation, and it also probes the intergalactic medium in the early universe. Optical surveys have to date discovered more than 60 quasars up to z 6.4, a limit set by the use of the z-band and CCD detectors. Only one z 6.4 quasar has been discovered, namely the z = 7.08 quasar ULAS J1120+0641, using near-inf...

Selection constraints on high redshift quasar searches in the VISTA kilo-degree infrared galaxy survey

The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) is a 4-m class survey telescope for wide-field nearinfrared imaging. VISTA is currently running a suite of six public surveys, which will shortly deliver their first Europe wide public data releases to ESO. The VISTA Kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy Survey (VIKING) forms a natural intermediate betwe...

Different approaches using Kilo-instruction Processors

Kilo-instruction processors are a new overall design paradigm to overcome the memory wall problem in superscalar processors. Its philosophy is based on maintaining thousands of in-flight instructions in a scalable and efficient manner using checkpointing mechanisms. This novel paradigm opens a large number of new topics combining other system-level architecture techniques for ongoing research. ...

Study the Quality Assurance of Conventional X-Ray Machine using Non-Invasive KV Meter

This study was carried out to obtain optimum operation conditions for X-ray machines. We investigated some factors affecting on quality assurance of conventional Siemen X-ray machine, inone of Mansoura Hospitals such as reproducibility of dose output, time and applied high voltage, Kilo-voltage accuracy, mA accuracy, time accuracy, and linearity. We measured these factors using Non-Invasive kil...
