The tertiary collimators (TCTs) in the LHC, installed in front of the experiments, in standard operation intercept fractions of 10 halo particles. However, they risk to be hit by high-intensity primary beams in case of asynchronous beam dump. TCT damage thresholds were initially inferred from results of destructive tests on a TCT jaw, supported by numerical simulations, assuming simplified impa...

This paper presents our work for participation in the 2012 CIPS-ParsEval shared task of Simplified Chinese parsing. We adopt a factored model to parse the Simplified Chinese. The factored model is one kind of combined structure between PCFG structure and dependency structure. It mainly uses an extremely effective A* parsing algorithm which enables to get a more optimal solution. Throughout this...

Tidal energy is one of the major sources renewable energy. To accelerate development tidal energy, improved designs Current Turbine (TCT) are necessary. The effect tower on performance and wake TCT investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. Transient analysis with transient rotor stator frame change model shear stress transport turbulence utilized in ANSYS CFX. An experi...

Abstract A tabletop Two Photon Absorption-Transient Current Technique (TPA-TCT) set-up built at CERN was used to investigate a non-irradiated PIN diode, an irradiated and 5 × 5-multipad HPK LGAD. The intrinsic three dimensional spatial resolution of this method is demonstrated under normal incidence the laser probe. charge collection versus depth profile diode presented, where reflection on rea...

The Low Gain Avalanche Detector (LGAD) technology is very promising for silicon timing detectors and currently heavily researched. Recent studies show that the gain of LGADs highly depends on charge carrier density inside layer. To study related reduction, Two Photon Absorption-Transient Current Technique (TPA-TCT) was employed to obtain information drift velocity electric field a LGAD differen...

Introduction: Ongoing effort is directed to developing methods for improving spectral resolution and quantification of brain metabolites at pre-clinical and clinical field strengths. Recently, a constant-time approach has been applied in conjunction with localized MRS techniques towards this goal (1-3). In order to improve the detection of overlapping brain metabolites without inducing coherenc...

Topological constraint theory (TCT) has enabled the prediction of various properties oxide glasses as a function their composition and structure. However, robust application TCT relies on accurate knowledge network structure topology. Here, based classical molecular dynamics simulations, we derive fully analytical model describing topology calcium aluminosilicate [(CaO)x(Al2O3)y(SiO2)1?x?y, CAS...

In this paper, we consider Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for engaging Time Critical Targets (TCTs) and quantify the feasibility of those CONOPS. The process involves defining the scope of the CONOPS, developing a plausible TCT CONOPS based on existing practices, and simulating the dynamics of the CONOPS to obtain a better understanding of the inherent interactions within such a complex, dynami...

AIM To compare the outcomes of dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) using traditional Crawford tubes (TCT) and Crawford tubes with suture (CTS) in the lumen. METHODS Retrospective case series consisting of patients who underwent DCR between 2008 and 2013. RESULTS A total of 61 DCRs were performed on 50 patients. Patients who underwent DCR using CTS had higher rates of prolapse compared to the TCT gr...

In this paper, the Tasseled Cap Transformation (TCT) was applied to QuickBird multispectral images for extracting archaeological features linked to ancient human transformations of the landscape. The investigation was performed on Metaponto, one of the most important archaeological sites in the South of Italy. The analysis was focused on the identification of ancient land divisions likely relat...
