The Emma Commissioning Procedure
No full textThe author begins with a brief review of the goals of the EMMA experiment. He then describe two stages of EMMA commissioning. The first stage is simply to get the beam to circulate a full turn in the ring, and is done only once during the course of the experiment. The second stage will be repeated several times, at least once for each lattice configuration, and involves two parts: setting the required values for the machine parameters, and determining the tunes and time of flight as a function of energy
Handheld-Impedance-Measurement System with seven-decade capability and potentiostatic function
No full textThis paper describes design and test of a new impedance-measurement system for nonlinear devices that exhibits a seven-decade range and works down to a frequency of 0.01 Hz. The system is specifically designed for electrochemical measurements, but the proposed architecture can be employed in many other fields where flexible signal generation and analysis are required. The system employs an unconventional signal generator based on two pulsewidth modulation (PWM) oscillators and an autocalibration system that allows uncertainties of less than 3% to be obtained over a range of 1 kΩ to 100 GΩ. A synchronous demodulation processing allows the noise superimposed to the low-amplitude input signals to be made negligibl

Updating the Classics: Ovid, Emma Tennant's Philomela and the Intertextual Link
No full textThis paper explores some of the theoretical and practical possibilities of intertextual devices attending specifically to those strategies used when rewriting classical texts. Taking into account the critical explanations that, historically, have tried to decipher the use and abuse of classical sources, this study focuses on one of the endless cases where contemporary authors plunge into a well-known author¿s work offering serious and committed readings. This article specifically analyses Emma Tennant¿s achievement in her rewriting of Philomela¿s myth and her significant departure from Ovid¿s Metamorphoses. Her work proves to be a clear and direct statement of her rebellious understanding of the myth
