In the present technical article, we describe a method for generating a new dichoptic motion stimulus, the monocular components of which are dynamic random noise without constant figural cues for feature-tracking-based motion. Our dichoptic motion stimulus adds a new line of evidence, which supports the original conclusion of M. Shadlen and T. Carney (1986) that motion detection can be solely d...

Long-lived charged massive particles (CHAMPs) appear in various particle physics models beyond the standard model. In this Letter, we discuss the prospects for studying the stopping and decaying events of such long-lived CHAMPs at the LHC detectors, and show that the lifetime measurement (and the study of decay products) is possible with the LHC detectors for a wide range of the lifetime O(0.1)...

Dose rate measurements have been performed around the cupper, tungsten and aluminum targets bombarded by 18, 25 and 34 MeV electrons. The detectors were set at 500 mm from the target and the angles were 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 degrees in the direction to the beam line. Three kinds of detectors were applied for the measurements, miniature ionization chamber and glass dosimeter for photons, and CR-...

1 Introduction Filtered Back-Projection (FBP) is a well-known algorithm for reconstruction of tomographic images from projections [1-3]. Some of FBP's highlights are: (i) allows agile software implementations , and; (ii) production of images of good quality, i. e., relatively free of artifacts. Our goal is to reconstruct images from fan beam projections collected by detectors set in a linear ar...

A method for separation and purification of plant hormones auxin and abscisic acid based on mixed mode reversed-phase anion-exchange solid phase extraction and two-dimensional HPLC was developed. Two-dimensional HPLC in "heart cutting" mode was very efficient in the purification of these two hormones. Its purification power is high enough to allow reliable on-line quantification of both hormone...

We describe a process for automatically detecting decision-making sub-dialogues in multi-party, human-human meetings in real-time. Our basic approach to decision detection involves distinguishing between different utterance types based on the roles that they play in the formulation of a decision. In this paper, we describe how this approach can be implemented in real-time, and show that the res...

A method for the determination of malvidin 3-O-glucoside (Oenin), and malvidin 3, 5-O-diglucoside (Malvin) in wines by on line HPLC coupled with UV, and fluorescence detectors is described. With the proposed method the samples were analysed by direct injection without a previous treatment. For method validation, satisfactory recoveries (> 95%) and suitable repeatabilities (within day: R.S.D. (n...

We investigate analytically the coupling of a coplanar waveguide resonator to a coplanar waveguide feedline. Using a conformal mapping technique we obtain an expression for the characteristic mode impedances and coupling coefficients of an asymmetric multi-conductor transmission line. Leading order terms for the external quality factor and frequency shift are calculated. The obtained analytical...

Background: Estimating dosimetric parameters for small fields under non-reference conditions leads to significant errors if done based on conventional protocols used for large fields in reference conditions. Hence, further correction factors have been introduced to take into account the influence of spectral quality changes when various detectors are used in non-reference conditions at differen...

New measurements of photon emission intensities in the decay of U-235 were performed. Source was prepared by deposition of a U-235 solution on glass plate. Standardization was carried out by defined solid angle alpha counting, giving the reference activity with 0.7% relative combined uncertainty. Gamma spectrometry was performed with accurately calibrated high-purity germanium detectors. Correc...
