We discuss a service-learning program called EPICS (Engineering Projects In Community Service). More specifically, we describe an effort to incorporate EPICS within Computer Science and Software Engineering curricula at Purdue University and Butler University, respectively. EPICS at Purdue University The EPICS (Engineering Projects In Community Service) program was first created at Purdue Unive...

According to published literature, iron was primarily used for making weapons in ancient times. The great Indian epics, Ramayana and Mahabharatha, contain evidence that our forefathers knew about the usage of iron long before many other countries knew about it! Iron is thus very native to India! This is a logical conclusion because, our war-centric epics date back to several thousand years BC. ...

BACKGROUND African Americans have the highest incidence and mortality and are less likely than whites to have been screened for colorectal cancer (CRC). Many interventions have been shown to increase CRC screening in research settings, but few have been evaluated specifically for use in African-American communities in real world settings. This study aims to identify the most efficacious approac...

With the advent of readily available wireless communications and small hand-held computers, commonly known as personal digital assistants (PDAs), it is interesting to consider using these portable devices to access a control system. We have successfully ported the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) to Windows CE 3.0 (WCE) for the Pocket PC (PPC), and this paper describes...

The remote control systems and user interface for the Proton Engineering Frontier Project (PEFP) 100-MeV proton accelerator have been developed for the linac subsystems. The infrastructure of the PEFP control system is to provide a network based communication, distributed control system, and a standard communication protocol. To develop an extensible and reliable control system, we have chosen ...

The programming interface for developing EPICS 1 network distributed applications is called Channel Access. A high priority has been placed on stability and backwards compatibility with this interface, and accordingly it has undergone relatively few externally visible revisions during the lifespan of EPICS. There are of course fundamental tensions where the desire to maintain a stable interface...

Turkish instrumental poetry is a deep-rooted tradition that has survived to the present day by gaining unique style and shape being fed from minstrel-art environments in Anatolia, rooted pre-Muslim poet-baksı tradition, developed over centuries feeding different cultural artistic circles of Turkestan geography, followed systematically since 16th century after first examples were identified Anat...

The integration of all devices under one coherent control system based on EPICS is an important consideration at the SLS. On the other hand, image acquisition and processing is a daily activity for devices in the accelerators, beamlines and experimental stations. Currently, we have developed two approaches, under EPICS, for image acquisition and processing. One is based on an analogue camera wi...

PEFP(Proton Engineering Frontier Project) in Korean proton linear accelerator program has a diagnostic system with current transformers and beam position monitors. Prototype of current transformer (CT) and beam position monitor(BPPM) were made and tested successfully in tools of the beam diagnostic systems. We are preparing to monitor remotely signals from the diagnostic system. Remote monitori...

Yaratıcı ile ilişkilendirilerek kutsallık atfedilen, olumlu tipler içinde yer alan, kahramanın ve yardımcılarının mistik koruyucusu destekleyicisi olan kurtarıcı tipi; savaşçı bir toplumun güçlü kalmasını sağlayan önemli destan tiplerinden biridir. Kurtarıcı tipinin Kazak destanlarında üstlenmiş olduğu işlevleri ortaya koyabilmek için makalede eylem merkezli çalışma yürütülerek elli dokuz incel...
