IRAF in the Nineties
نویسنده
چکیده
The IRAF system (Image Reduction and Analysis Facility) has been under development since 1981 and in use since 1984. Currently, in 1992, IRAF is a mature system with hundreds of applications which is in wide use within the astronomical community. After a brief look at the current state of IRAF, this paper focuses on how the IRAF system is expected to develop during the coming decade. Certain key new technologies or trends which any new data analysis system will need to deal with to be viable in the nineties and beyond are discussed. An overview of the planned enhancements to the IRAF system software is presented, including work in the areas of image data structures, database facilities, networking and distributed applications, display interfaces, and user interfaces .

Trigger-based mechanism of the persistence of atrial fibrillation and its impact on the efficacy of catheter ablation.
BACKGROUND We investigated the possibility that a frequent trigger action might play a role in the development of persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) and the presence of a substrate. METHODS AND RESULTS In 263 consecutive patients who underwent catheter ablation (CA) for PeAF, electric cardioversion was performed at the beginning of the procedure to determine the presence or absence of an i...

The Image Reduction and Analysis Facility (IRAF) is a general purpose software system for the reduction and analysis of scientific data. The IRAF system provides a good selection of programs for general image processing and graphics applications, plus a large selection of programs for the reduction and analysis of optical astronomy data. The system also provides a complete modern scientific pro...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Data Analysis in IRAF and ZODIAC+
Despite the widespread use of IRAF for astronomical data reduction, there are a number of special-purpose image processing applications for which the general-purpose IRAF system may not be well suited. One example of this is imaging Fabry-Perot data. Due to the complex three-dimensional data sets, many astronomers with such data employ image processing systems which can easily be extended with ...
متن کاملEffect of atrial fibrillation duration on probability of immediate recurrence after transthoracic cardioversion.
INTRODUCTION An immediate recurrence of atrial fibrillation (IRAF) appears to be more common after early restoration of sinus rhythm with an implantable atrial defibrillator than after elective transthoracic cardioversion, which suggests that the probability of IRAF may be related to the duration of AF. METHODS AND RESULTS Transthoracic cardioversion was performed 85 +/- 187 days (range 7 min...
