An overview of the ATLAS High Level Trigger Dataflow and Supervision.
No full textThe ATLAS high-level trigger (HLT) system provides software-based event selection after the initial LVL1 hardware trigger. It is composed of two stages, the LVL2 trigger and the event filter (EF). The LVL2 trigger performs event selection with optimized algorithms using selected data guided by Region of Interest pointers provided by the LVL1 trigger. Those events selected by LVL2 are built into complete events, which are passed to the EF for a further stage of event selection and classification using off-line algorithms. Events surviving the EF selection are passed for off-line storage. The two stages of HLT are implemented on processor farms. The concept of distributing the selection process between LVL2 and EF is a key element in the architecture, which allows it to be flexible to changes (luminosity, detector knowledge, background conditions, etc.) Although there are some differences in the requirements between these subsystems there are many commonalities. An overview of the dataflow (event selection) and supervision (control, configuration, monitoring) activities in the HLT is given, highlighting where commonalities between the two subsystems can be exploited and indicating where requirements dictate that implementations differ. An HLT prototype system has been built at CERN. Functional testing is being carried out in order to validate the HLT architecture

FACTORS INFLUENCING FARMERS' SELECTION OF A MILK HANDLER
No full textA structural probit model is estimated to determine the change in the probability of selecting a milk handler. Cooperatives are thought to have lower prices and higher deductions than independent milk handlers and these factors reduce the probability that a farmer will select a cooperative by 0.39 and 0.32. Cooperatives are thought to have better services and an assured market and payment than independent mile handlers and these factors increase the probability that a farmer will select a cooperative by 0.20 and 0.26. This indicates that many cooperative members value monetary characteristics over non-monetary characteristics.Cooperatives, Processors, Attributes, Selection, Probit, Dairy, Livestock Production/Industries,
Motor laterality in domestic dogs: does the familiarity with the handler influence the paw preference?
No full textThe term laterality refers to the preference most mammals show for one body side over
the other. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of the First-stepping
test (Tomkins et al., 2010) in relation to the familiarity with the handler. Thirty-eight
adult dogs (22 females, 16 males, different breeds) were tested twice in a modified version
of Tomkins’ test (30 repetitions instead of 50), once with the owner and once with an unfamiliar
handler, one day apart.
The paw preference (PP) for each dog in both tests was determined as suggested by
Tomkins et al. (2010), calculating the lateralization index and considering a significant
preference for Z-scores < − 1.96 (left PP) or > + 1.96 (right PP).
There was a low concordance between the Z-scores of the two tests (Cohens’ Kappa coefficient
= 0.44). In detail, the Z-score of 14 dogs was different in relation to the familiarity
with the handler: 1 dog showed a right PP with the owner and a left PP with the unfamiliar
handler; 9 dogs showed a non-significant Z-score with the owner and a significant
Z-score with the unfamiliar handler; 4 dogs showed a significant Z-score with the owner
and a non-significant Z-score with the unfamiliar handler.
Previous literature on dogs and other mammals reports that laterality is strongly
task-dependent. The current findings suggest that PP may be influenced by other factors,
such as the familiarity with the handler, which should be taken into account when testing
animals for motor laterality

"Heart of a Warrior": The Law Enforcement Canine-Handler Relationship
No full textOver time, humans have formed intense bonds with canines that cross into many environments, including work as well as home. Canines have been used for work in law enforcement in the United States for over a century and K-9 units have become common in law enforcement departments across the country. Because of the prevalence of law enforcement canines in American society, they deserve a place in the literature. The bond between the canine and his handler in the law enforcement environment creates very different relationships than those formed between domestic canines and his or her owner. This study identified four types of canine-handler relationships, including the following handler orientations: canine as tool, as coworker, as kid, and as pet. These relationships create a unique bond between the handlers and the dogs that places the canines in a category not yet identified in Arluke and Sanders' (1996) foundational sociozoologic scale. Law enforcement canines must be between humans and good animals, in the category of police canines
Effect Handler Oriented Programming for Data Processing Applications
No full textEffect handler oriented programming or EHOP for short, is a new programming paradigm aiming to achieve separation of concerns in code which will lead to modular, readable and maintainable code. Since EHOP is significantly new, it is important to assess and compare it against traditional, commonly used paradigms in order to see if a wider adoption of EHOP would prove beneficial to computer science. In this research, EHOP was compared with traditional paradigms under the context of data processing applications. An Excel-like command line application called “MiniExcel” was implemented from scratch. Moreover, “Hierarchical EHOP”, a new structural pattern for EHOP was defined which enforces rules between concepts and produces a readable code structure. The main conclusions of this research can be summarized by the following statements. EHOP produces more modular, readable and maintainable code compared to traditional paradigms. Implementing additional concepts and updates to code is seamless using EHOP, yet the lack of development in EHOP’s ecosystem raises frustrating errors and requires the developer to implement libraries that are usually built-in for languages that support traditional paradigms. Functional programming produces faster running code, but EHOP is more memory efficient. Therefore, for applications that interact with users EHOP is the better choice and for applications that only execute code functional programming is more suitable.https://github.com/alibasaran/EHOP-Excel/ The codebase containing the implemented application as well as scripts that were used in programming paradigm analysis.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin
Analisa Kesadaran Food Handler Mengenai Higiene Makanan Dan Higiene Personal Di Hotel Bintang 4 Di Surabaya
No full textPenelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui bagaimana kesadaran food handler akan higiene makanan dan higiene personal di hotel bintang 4 di Surabaya. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian kuantitatif deskriptif dengan sampel 30 responden yang memenuhi persyaratan penelitian. Pengolahan data penelitian ini menggunakan program SPSS 16.0. Berdasarkan hasil kuesioner kesadaran food hander akan higiene makanan dan higiene personal tinggi, tetapi berdasarkan hasil wawancara yang dilakukan penulis diperoleh informasi bahwa penerapan higiene makanan dan higiene personal pada food handler masih terbatas pada peraturan yang harus ditaati karyawan dan tergantung situasi yang menunjang. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa penerapan higiene makanan dan higiene personal bukan sepenuhnya karena kesadaran dari food handler untuk menerapkannya
Performative Metafiction: Lemony Snicket, Daniel Handler and The End of <i>A Series of Unfortunate Events</i>
No full textIn "Performative Metafiction: Lemony Snicket, Daniel Handler, and The End of A Series of Unfortunate Events," Sara Austin looks at the metafictional aspect of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, with particular emphasis on the series' final volume, The End. She explores the occasional uneasy relationship between the series narrator and "author," Lemony Snicket, and the actual author, Daniel Handler. Handler's entirely pseudonymous role in the publishing process creates a tension within the series' narrative authority, raising issues that, often, adults do not trust children to understand. The popularity of the series, particularly in the United States, belies assumptions that children will neither understand nor enjoy books that raise more questions about the plot and characters than they answer, or that utterly fail to offer the "happily-ever-after" convention that so dominates the worlds of children's publishing
