The present work proposes a novel autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) spectral sensing system for in-situ optical monitoring grape ripening through reflectance signals. To this end, tailor-made hardware IoT end node was developed, characterized, and operated in both lab field conditions. It included three complementary modules: the module, host controller module. module four photodetectors LEDs with maximum emission wavelength centered at 530, 630, 690, 730 nm that placed direct contact...
We proposed a novel design for compact superconducting crab cavity with double quarter wave (DQWCC) shape. After fabrication and surface treatments, this niobium proof-of-principle was tested cryogenically in vertical cryostat. The is extremely yet has low frequency of 400 MHz, an essential property service the Large Hadron Collider luminosity upgrade. cavity's electromagnetic properties are well suited demanding task. demonstrated deflecting voltage 4.6 MV above required 3.34 future High...
This paper describes the development, design and characterization of a resistive pulse sensing (RPS) system for analysis size distributions extracellular vesicles (EVs). The is based on microfluidic chips fabricated using soft-lithography operated in pressure-driven mode. fabrication approach provided reproducible pore dimensions best performing chip enabled, without calibration, sizing both 252 nm 460 test particles within 8% theoretically calculated values, specifications by suppliers....
A scintillating fibre tracker is proposed to measure elastic proton scattering at very small angles in the ATLAS experiment CERN. The will be located so-called Roman Pot units a distance of 240 m on each side interaction point. An initial validation design choices was achieved beam test DESY relatively low energy electron and using slow off-the-shelf electronics. Here we report results from second carried out CERN, where new detector prototypes were tested high hadron beam, first version...
The Tile Calorimeter, which constitutes the central section of ATLAS hadronic calorimeter, is a non-compensating sampling device made iron and scintillating tiles. construction phase calorimeter nearly complete, most effort now directed toward final assembly commissioning in underground experimental hall. layout tasks carried out during are described, first with brief reminder requirements that drove design. During last few years comprehensive test-beam program has been followed order to...
The ATLAS collaboration plans to determine the absolute luminosity of CERN LHC at Interaction Point 1 by measuring trajectory protons elastically scattered very small angles (µrad).A scintillating fibre tracker system called ALFA (Absolute Luminosity For ATLAS) is proposed for this measurement.Detector modules will be placed above and below beam axis in roman pot units a distance 240 m on each side interaction point.They allow detectors approach millimeter distance.Overlap also based...
Supersymmetry breaking of a supersymmetric harmonic oscillator with polynomial interaction is analyzed. Some thermal effects are studied in the context Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD). The restored supersymmetry results non vanishing energy at finite temperatures due additivity effects, while $T=0$ zero.
In inductive power transfer (IPT), the possibility of load regulation (voltage or current regulation) in some resonant configurations has been reported previous works. However, underlying formalism is still incomplete too involved, obscuring fundamental aspects. this paper, author exposes causes and possibilities from perspective equivalent models linear transformer, a unifying systematic approach that eases design process. The interest are based on two three uncoupled inductors ideal...
