The very high luminosity foreseen for the LHC luminosity upgrade entails in all cases a significant luminosity decrease during a few hours run. We present in this note a new method of luminosity leveling, based on the on-line adjustment of the crossing angle, while keeping the optics unchanged. It is implemented using the D0 dipole of a possible Early Separation Scheme and an orbit corrector. T...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed at comparing the distocervical angulations of upper second molars crowns of groups with normal occlusion and with Angle Classes I and II malocclusions. Additionally, it aimed to analyze the changes occurring after alignment and leveling performed with MBT technique. METHODS The sample of normal occlusions comprised 32 lateral teleradiographs, while the sample of mal...

In the current era of low-birth rate in Korea, it is important to improve our neonatal intensive care and to establish an integrative system including a regional care network adequate for both high-risk pregnancies and high-risk newborn infants. Therefore, official discussion for nation-wide augmentation, proper leveling, networking, and regionalization of neonatal and perinatal care is urgentl...

To solve the quick and accurate level-adjusting problem in the process of spacecraft precise mating, automatic leveling and equalizing hoist device for spacecraft is developed. Based on lifting point adjustment by utilizing XY-workbench, the leveling and equalizing controller by a self-adaptive control algorithm is proposed. By simulation analysis and lifting test using engineering prototype, v...

According to the special requirements of Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) a set of quadrangular leveling system is designed, whose leveling precision is controlled by electro-hydraulic proportional technology. Based on analyzing the components and working principle of the quadrangular leveling system, the mathematical model of this system is established. The dynamic characteristics of stability and...

Although leveling is a very precise technique for geodetic deformation monitoring, it is quite expensive and timeconsuming. InSAR is a relatively new technique for precise deformation monitoring and has some important advantages compared to leveling: the high spatial resolution of the data and the relatively low costs of the technique. In this article both techniques are considered for the esti...

In project scheduling, many problems can arise when resource fluctuations are beyond acceptable limits. To overcome this, mathematical techniques have been developed for leveling resources. However, these produce a hard and inflexible approach in scheduling projects. The authors propose a simple resource leveling approach that can be used in scheduling projects with multi-mode execution activit...
