Pickup ions, created by ionization of slow moving atoms and molecules well inside the heliosphere, provide us with a new tool to probe remote regions in and beyond the heliosphere and to study injection and acceleration processes in the solar wind. Comprehensive and continuous measurements of H, He, C, N, O, Ne and other pickup ions, especially with the Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (...

Isotopically resolved cross sections and velocity distributions have been measured in charge-pickup reactions of 1 A GeV Pb with proton, deuterium and titanium target. The total and partial charge-pickup cross sections in the reactions Pb + H and Pb + H are measured to be the same in the limits of the error bars. A weak increase in the total charge-pickup cross section is seen in the reaction o...

Nowadays, logistic companies are dealing with the pressure of a highly competitive environment and trying to reduce operational costs. At same time, customers requiring not wait so long get their delivery pickup demands satisfied. In this study, these two factors considered a-static-periodic solution strategy. The problem is modelled as Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem Simultaneous Pickup Delive...

In this work, the capacitated location-routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (CLRP-SPD) is considered. This problem is a more realistic case of the capacitated location-routing problem (CLRP) and belongs to the reverse logistics of the supply chain. The problem has many real-life applications of which some have been addressed in the literature such as management of liquid petrol...

Optically corrected pickup method of both virtual and real objects for integral imaging is proposed. The proposed pickup system has imbricate view volumes which are equivalent to those in the integral imaging display. Therefore, there is no distortion resulting from the discord in directions of elemental image between pickup and display. In this system, the view volumes are transformed by 4f op...

We have developed a straw tube chamber with pickup-pad readout. The mechanism for signal pickup, the size of the pickup signal, and the distribution of signals among neighboring pads are discussed. We have tested a prototype chamber in a beam test at Brookhaven National Laboratory and have measured chamber e$ciencies in excess of 99%. ( 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Last time we considered at some length the sources of random noise due to the thermal motion of ions and electrons. Now we turn to the practical matter of dealing with the pickup of nonrandom electrical signals, such as interference from the 60 Hz power lines or from a computer monitor. There are two main principles to consider: electrostatic pickup through unshielded surfaces, and magnetic pic...
