Software for Digital Acquisition System and Application to Environmental Monitoring
Criteria for selection of a minicomputer for use as a core resident acquisition system were developed for the ODU Mobile Air Pollution Laboratory. A comprehensive data acquisition program named MONARCH was instituted in a DEC-8/E-8K 12-bit computer. Up to 32 analog voltage inputs are scanned sequentially, converted to BCD, and then to actual numbers. As many as 16 external devices (valves or any other two-state device) are controlled independently. MONARCH is written as a foreground-background program, controlled by an external clock which interrupts once per minute. Transducer voltages are averaged over user specified time intervals and, upon completion of any desired time sequence, outputted are: day, hour, minute, second; state of external valves; average value of each analogue voltage (E Format); as well as standard deviations of these values. Output is compatible with any serially addressed media
Data reduction programs for a laser radar system
The listing and description of software routines which were used to analyze the analog data obtained from LIDAR - system are given. All routines are written in FORTRAN - IV on a HP - 1000/F minicomputer which serves as the heart of the data acquisition system for the LIDAR program. This particular system has 128 kilobytes of highspeed memory and is equipped with a Vector Instruction Set (VIS) firmware package, which is used in all the routines, to handle quick execution of different long loops. The system handles floating point arithmetic in hardware in order to enhance the speed of execution. This computer is a 2177 C/F series version of HP - 1000 RTE-IVB data acquisition computer system which is designed for real time data capture/analysis and disk/tape mass storage environment
Heterotopic Heart Transplantation
The heterotopic heart transplant was pioneered by Christian Barnard in the late 1970s as a way to treat acute rejection in the pre-cyclosporine era. The technique was also used for the treatment of severe pulmonary hypertension, in patients unable to have an orthotopic heart transplant. Some surgeons have used the heterotopic heart transplant as a way to increase the donor heart pool around the world in more recent years. The heterotopic heart transplant is a good viable option for severe pulmonary hypertension patients, and, severe pulmonary vascular resistance patients, who would otherwise, not qualify for an orthotopic heart transplant. The outcomes for these recipients have been comparable to survival outcomes for similar orthotopic heart transplant recipients
Duality in cosmological perturbation theory
Cosmological perturbation equations derived from low-energy effective actions
are shown to be invariant under a duality transformation reminiscent of
electric-magnetic, strong-weak coupling, S-duality. A manifestly
duality-invariant approximation for perturbations far outside the horizon is
introduced, and it is argued to be useful even during a high curvature epoch.
Duality manifests itself through a remnant symmetry acting on the classical
moduli of cosmological models, and implying lower bounds on the number and
energy density of produced particles.Comment: 14 pages, LATEX, no figure
NASA three-laser airborne differential absorption lidar system electronics
The system control and signal conditioning electronics of the NASA three laser airborne differential absorption lidar (DIAL) system are described. The multipurpose DIAL system was developed for the remote measurement of gas and aerosol profiles in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. A brief description and photographs of the majority of electronics units developed under this contract are presented. The precision control system; which includes a master control unit, three combined NASA laser control interface/quantel control units, and three noise pulse discriminator/pockels cell pulser units; is described in detail. The need and design considerations for precision timing and control are discussed. Calibration procedures are included
Tunable diode laser heterodyne radiometer measurement of atmospheric absorption of solar radiation
A tunable infrared heterodyne radiometer (TIHR) which uses a diode laser as the local oscillator is described as well as methods for the evaluation of the excess noise characteristics of the tunable diode laser. Preliminary atmospheric absorption data taken with the TIHR are presented and show the capability of the TIHR for making the highest resolution atmospheric measurements to date
Analysis of impact of Busch Gardens expansion on air quality of surrounding area
This report is concerned primarily with the increase in carbon monoxide concentrations and hydrocarbon concentrations induced by the projected increased traffic that would be associated with the parking facilities planned to support the expansion of Busch Gardens (Virginia) planned for the summar of 1976. Of primary concern is the integrated effect of the increased traffic that will be handled by existing facilities and an enlarged parking lot across the highway from the main Busch Garden attraction
