Abstract. We describe here a new method to increase the peak current of high brightness electron beams as those required to drive X-ray SASE FEL's, that is based on a rectilinear compressor scheme utilizing the bunching properties of slow waves. It is shown that whenever a beam, slower than the synchronous velocity, is injected into a RF wave at the zero acceleration phase and slips back in pha...

Ground motion estimation for a site (34.01 o N, 71.45 o E) located in the Peshawar in terms of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) values is conducted. It is carried out with deterministic seismic hazard analysis approach using faults sources within a radius of one hundred kilometers around site. The results of this study indicate that the Main Boundary Thrust located at a distance of twenty nine (2...

Background TPVM is a promising technique for measuring myocardial mechanics [1] but long scan times have limited its clinical application, despite acceleration techniques such as view-sharing [2] or k-t BLAST [3] being used. Cartesian work using k-t BLAST found that accelerations greater than a factor of 2 affected peak velocity measurements, possibly because of temporal smoothing inherent in t...

Performance advantages of incorporating fluid channels into foam made of DERTEX VN600 (Vinyl Nitrile) are evaluated. This foam has the potential to replace the traditional foam material of helmet liners, like Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). Experiments involved dropping a certified size E headform vertically onto a flat, solid anvil. Elastically deformable and resilient VN foam outperformed EPS dur...

X-ray FELs, such as the LCLS and TESLA FEL, require electron beams with large peak current and very small emittance. The X-ray peak power, temporal and spectral properties, depend significantly on details of the electron beam phase space distribution. The electron beam distribution is determined by many effects, as the emission process at the gun photo-cathode, bunch compression, acceleration a...

The estimation of potential strong ground motions at short epicentral distances (J1 = 10 to 25 km) resulting from large earthquakes, M;;;; 6.5, generally requires extrapolation of a limited data set. The goal of this project has been to quantify the extrapolation through a simulation technique that relies heavily upon the more extensive data set from smaller magnitude earthquakes. The simulatio...

Intermittency of Lagrangian velocity and acceleration is a key to understanding transport in complex systems ranging from fluid turbulence to flow in porous media. High-resolution optical particle tracking in a three-dimensional (3D) porous medium provides detailed 3D information on Lagrangian velocities and accelerations. We find sharp transitions close to pore throats, and low flow variabilit...

The objective of this study was to characterize the risk of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) in living humans based on a large set of head impact data taken from American football players at the collegiate level. Real-time head accelerations were recorded from helmet-mounted accelerometers designed to stay in contact with the player's head. Over 27,000 head impacts were recorded, including fo...

An attenuation relationship model belonging to a region with high earthquake hazard is important. It used for engineering studies know how the peak ground acceleration (PGA) value depends on distance where there are no stations. This study earthquakes magnitudes greater than 4 that IzmirNET recorded between 2009 and 2017 determine PGA through an artificial neural network (ANN) adaptive neuro-fu...
