The COMPASS RICH-1 read-out system
No full textBaum G, Birsa R, Bradamante F, et al. The COMPASS RICH-1 read-out system. In: Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment. Nucl.Instrum.Meth. A. Vol 502. Elsevier Science BV; 2003: 246-250.This paper describes the reconfigurable read-out system for the 82944 RICH-1 channels of the COMPASS experiment (NA58) at CERN. The system is based on 192 identical large front-end boards (BORA board). BORA was designed for acquiring, digitizing, threshold subtracting and transmitting event data. The overall operation of the board is controlled and supervised by a DSP tightly interacting with an FPGA that acts as a parallel co-processor. The DSP allows characterizing each analog channel by locally calculating noise and pedestal. Each BORA communicates with the outside world through two optical fibers and through a dedicated DSP network. One optical fiber is used to receive event triggers, and the other one is used to transmit event data to subsequent processing stages of the acquisition system. The DSP network allows reconfiguring and reprogramming the DSPs and FPGAs as well as acquiring sample events to visualize the overall operation of the system. The whole RICH has eight DSP networks working in parallel. These networks are handled by DOLINA. a PC resident multiprocessor board containing eight DSPs. Each network is formed by 24 BORA DSPs and I DOLINA DSP. The read-out system can steadily work up to a trigger rate of 75 kHz with maximum pixel occupancy of 20%, reaching a transmission data rate of 5.13 Gbytes/s. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Conservations of various regions in read-through (RT) and non-read-through (non-RT) genes.
No full textThe read-through genes used are from [8, 9], whereas all other genes are treated as non-read-through genes. A total of 147 read-through and 4,225 non-read-through yeast genes and 233 read-through and 8,367 non-read-through fly genes are considered. Region 1 refers to the transcript segment between the canonical stop codon and the following in-frame stop codon, whereas region 2 refers to the transcript segment between the first and second in-frame stop codon after the canonical stop codon. CDS, coding sequence. (A-B) Sequence conservation of coding region, region 1, and region 2 between S. cerevisiae and S. paradoxus (A) or between D. melanogaster and D. simulans (B) for read-through and non-read-through genes. (C-D) Fractions of frame-shifting indels in regions 1 and 2 of read-through and non-read-through genes, based on a comparison between the two yeasts (C) or two fruit flies (D). In (A)-(D), error bars show the standard deviation of the mean determined by bootstrapping genes. Each one-tailed P-value is based on respectively bootstrapping genes of the two groups being compared, and "ns" means not significant. (E-F) Relative length differences in regions 1 and 2 of read-through genes and non-read-through genes between the two yeasts (E) or two fruit flies (F). In each boxplot, the lower and upper edges of a box represent the first (qu1) and third quartiles (qu3), respectively, the horizontal line inside the box indicates the median (md), and the whiskers extend to the most extreme values inside inner fences, md±1.5(qu3-qu1). One-tailed Mann-Whitney U test result is presented, where "ns" means not significant. Note that the Y-axis does not start from 0 in some panels.</p
A 20-bit ±40-mV Range Read-Out IC With 50-nV Offset and 0.04% Gain Error for Bridge Transducers
No full textThis paper presents a 20-b read-out IC with ±40-mV full-scale range that is intended for use with bridge transducers. It consists of a current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA) followed by a switched-capacitor incremental ΔΣ ADC. The CFIA's offset and 1/ f noise are mitigated by chopping, while its gain accuracy and gain drift are improved by applying dynamic element matching to its input and feedback transconductors. Their mismatch is reduced by a digitally assisted correction loop, which further reduces the CFIA's gain drift. Finally, bulk-biasing and impedance-balancing techniques are used to reduce the common-mode dependency of these transconductors, which would otherwise limit the achievable gain accuracy. The combination of these techniques enables the read-out IC to achieve 140-dB CMRR, a worst-case gain error of 0.04% over a 0-2.5 V common-mode range, a maximum gain drift of 0.7 ppm/°C and an INL of 5 ppm. After applying nested-chopping, the read-out IC achieves 50-nV offset, 6-nV/°C offset drift, a thermal noise floor of 16.2 nV/√Hz and a 0.1-mHz 1/ f noise corner. Implemented in a 0.7-μm CMOS technology, the prototype read-out IC consumes 270 μA from a 5-V supply.Accepted Author ManuscriptElectronic Instrumentatio
Spotting the traces of depression in read speech: An approach based on computational paralinguistics and social signal processing
No full textThis work investigates the use of a classification approach as a means to identify effective depression markers in read speech, i.e., observable and measurable traces of the pathology in the way people read a predefined text. This is important because the diagnosis of depression is still a challenging problem and reliable markers can, at least to a partial extent, contribute to address it. The experiments have involved 110 individuals and revolve around the tendency of depressed people to read slower and display silences that are both longer and more frequent. The results show that features expected to capture such differences reduce the error rate of a baseline classifier by more than 50% (from 31.8% to 15.5%). This is of particular interest when considering that the new features are less than 10% of the original set (3 out of 32). Furthermore, the results appear to be in line with the findings of neuroscience about brain-level differences between depressed and non-depressed individuals
