We have developed a timing analysis method to determine the distances of variable galactic X-ray sources based on the method advanced by Trümper and Schönfelder in 1973. The light-curve of the halo produced by the scattering of X-rays off the interstellar dust is delayed and smeared by the dust grains. This method utilizes the differences between the power density spectra of the point source an...

Data fusion is the process of enriching data sets by combining information from different sources, to provide a single data set to mine in. Data fusion projects are complex, and to structure these we have built a process model for data fusion, inspired by the CRISP process model for data mining. The end goal is to build a fusion factory, where fusion projects are automated much as possible.

Configurations of a solid pion production target for the neutrino factory that includes a water jacket are simulated in the hadron production code MARS15 [1]. The addition of water coolant and extension of the target into slices may introduce the effects of: yield degredation from pion reabsorption, additional heat load on the target, and increased scatter in arrival times. These three effects ...

sources. The authors carried out the mass-examination of tuberculosis on the employees of a certain factory and isolated a strain of atypical acid-fast bacilli with unusual biological charactors from sputa of a male worker, whose x-ray picture presented a shadow suspicious of tuberculosis infection but who had no selfconcious symptoms. The patient was kept under observation for a considerably l...

A method for estimating sound source distance in dynamic auditory „scenes‟ using binaural data is presented. The technique requires little prior knowledge of the acoustic environment. It consists of feature extraction for two dynamic distance cues, motion parallax and acoustic τ, coupled with an inference framework for distance estimation. Sequential and nonsequential models are evaluated using...

We present a new technique for directly measuring the distances to superluminal radio sources. By comparing the observed proper motions of components in a parsec scale radio jet to their measured Doppler factors, we can deduce the distance to the radio source independent of the standard rungs in the cosmological distance ladder. This technique requires that the jet angle to the line of sight an...
