A quench detection system was developed for protecting and monitoring the superconducting solenoids Muon-to-Electron Conversion Experiment (Mu2e) at Fermilab. The designed a high level of dependability long-term continuous operation. It is based on three tiers: Tier-I, FPGA-based Digital Quench Detection (DQD); Tier-II, Analog (AQD); Tier-3, controls data management system. Tier-I Tier-II are c...

university course timetabling is a complex optimizationproblem. there are many components like departments, faculties, rooms,and students making the problem huge and difficult to solve. eachcomponent enforces a set of normally conflicting constraints on thesolution space. the problem will be solved if courses are scheduled indifferent rooms and within some specific time slots such that a set of...

the mines are an important section of national heritage and public domain. in legal aspect there are several theories about the mines such as; ownership; public domain and non-proper tier things. some of the islamic jurists believe mines are anfal and others say they are non-proper tier things. although the prohibition or restriction in exploitation of mine is useful because of fairly distribut...

BACKGROUND An integrated tiered service delivery model (ITSDM) has been proposed to provide 'full-coverage' of CD4 services throughout South Africa. Five tiers are described, defined by testing volumes and number of referring health-facilities. These include: (1) Tier-1/decentralized point-of-care service (POC) in a single site; Tier-2/POC-hub servicing processing < 30-40 samples from 8-10 heal...

The three-tier client/server architecture is an evolution of the traditional two-tier model, and is receiving increased interest, particularly for large business applications. The main difference is that in a three-tier architecture, most of the functionality is separated out in a middle layer, called application servers, as shown in figure 1. Also, each client can use several application serve...

In this paper we propose a multi-tier phonetic model for intonation synthesis. Four tiers are defined aiming at different components of intonation. The parametric representation for each tier is realized through underlying pitch target. Regression trees are built for each tier upon appropriate feature set. Both numerical evaluation and informal listening test have yielded encouraging results. T...

Among the variety and diversity of pigeon houses, Multi-Tier Pigeon Houses (MTPHs) are distinguished from the functional and aesthetic point of view and are considered as a specific local architectural sights of Lenjanat. However, few studies have been conducted to study this type of pigeon house and these constructs have remained unknown. In this study we have conducted library and field studi...
