A study of the some characteristics silicone surface barrier (SSB) detectors for the detection of alpha particles

In this research, we studied a number of characteristics of two surface barrier detectors, one from LD and the other from PH, dedicated to detecting alpha particles. and comparing between characteristics of detectors. For the operating characteristic, we found that the optimal operating voltage of the LD detector is located in the range (1.35-1.4) volts, while of the PH detector was located in the range (0.9-1.35) volts. For the detection capability, we found that the LD detector is better than the PH detector, this is due to the presence thinner metal surface layer for LD detector.,

Study the Performance of Image Descriptor for Building Panoramic Image

In this paper an evaluation of image keypoints detectors and descriptors is presented when used for building panoramic image. The descriptors: (SIFT, SURF, BRIEF, ORB, BRISK, and FREAK) were discussed, when used with the appropriate keypoints detectors on database taken indoors by RGB-D camera. Crosscheck and RANSAC (RANdom Sample Consensus) algorithms were used to find transform matrix between images. The speed of keypoints detectors and descriptors, the matching speed, the average of extracted keypoints, recall and precision were investigated. Oxford dataset was used to find the best descriptor for dealing with rotation and illumination changes that might occur due to changes in illumination angle. The obtained results showed that SIFT was the keypoint descriptor with the highest performance in non-real time applications. The SURF/BRISK was the best detector/descriptor which can be used in real time applications with comparable SIFT's results.

Hierarchical Failure detectors implementation using dual mode of heartbeat and interaction

In this paper, we propose an implementation of hierarchical failure detectors, which depends on dividing the processes into sub-groups and elect one leader called the main process . The main process then distributes the remaining processes into groups and chooses one leader for each one. Finally failure detector applied in the chosen leaders which send the results to the central process.

Study and analysis of the impact of noise on the receiver sensitivity in the digital optical communication system

The effect of thermal noise and shot noise on the receiver sensitivity in a digital optical communication system will be studied and analyzed. Also, the positive and negative effects of Parameters on the receiver sensitivity will be highlighted. The programming tools (MATLAB) is used to study the relationship between the receiver sensitivity and bit rate. It showed that the shot-noise-limited receiver sensitivity is much better than the thermal -noise-limited receiver sensitivity with best 30dB. The study also provided an explanation for the preference of optical detector (APD) compared to that in (PIN) optical detector from sensitivity side due to its internal gain, this can be achieved when the thermal noise is dominant. However, the preference of optical detector(PIN) will be better in case of shot noise is dominant. Analyzed results show that there is a significant improvement in the shot-noiselimited receiver sensitivity for high quantum efficiency and high wavelength. However, the sensitivity is deteriorated to get a lower error rate. The thermal -noise-limited receiver sensitivity showed an improving by increasing the responsivity and the load resistance. However, it decreases by increasing the number of noise and the error rate.

Determination of the neutrino mass through the study of the energy spectrum of radiation of Strontium-90 isotope

In this work, using a scintillation detector with Strontium-90 source as a try to measure the electronic neutrino mass from a simple technique and different from what is used in this area where current techniques used are very complex and require substantial amounts. Also, detector calibration (to find the straight calibration equation), in addition to identified the maximum energy of β- particles (electrons), experimentally, by selection the channel number and then finding the energy value from the calibration equation (as a straight line). We have studied the disintegration changed energy with absorbent material which is an aluminum slices that have different thickness. We have observed the decrease in the values of the maximum energy of the electrons with increases the thickness of the slices. The energy changes with thickness as: E = f (x), (a straight line have a negative inclination). Applying Fermi 's theory and Kurie's plot allowed to find the maximum energy of disintegration electrons (1697,58 keV), this value is so close to experimental value (1653,45 keV), with dubity (2,6%) We have found that the electronic mass neutrino mass is almost to be non-existent, or we can said that the Strontium-90 disintegration does not allow to measure mass neutrino mass accurately, this is due to the high value of the disintegration energy of the Strontium- 90 isotope.

Analytical and experimental study of the effect of noise background on the radioactivity measurement

In this experimental work, the instruments used (detector, calibrating sources) has been calibrating, the calibration line of the detector deduced and it has been finding that the equation of calibration line takes the form: The resolution power R has been studying as function of the distance between the activity source and detector; the results obtained show that R decrease by increase the energy of the lines spectrum, this mean that the detector resolution power become bigger. It has been measured the LC، LD and MDA using two different methods of background radiation value, trapezium method and classical method, for two different distances between radioactivity source and detector: (9,3cm) and (10cm). The results show: 1- There is similar comportment of the LC، LD and MDA in function energy and the distance between radioactivity source and detector. 2- The trapezium method gives better results from the classical method to the radiation background, and this leads to lesser MDA value, this means that the sensibility is bigger to measure this quantity. 3- The relative error using MDA is (5%) for large values, and (10%) for small values

Implementing a Control and Supervisory System for Traffic Lights Using PLC and SCADA System

Traffic jam is a serious problem in our life, it causes waste of time and energy, conventional traffic light control system works with a fixed time and fixed cycle. This paper proposes an intelligent traffic light control system with a changeable green time and cycle depending on traffic density. Traffic parameters (cars’ numbers, density, flow) are collected by Loop Detectors located at each traffic signal, this data will be transmitted to the PLC controller then, PLC processes this data to produce controlling commands, it is also connected to a SCADA system which supervises the process and provides an automatic and manual control. The proposal system applies Green Wave method to connect between two junctions based on a real car velocity and sets priority for emergency car, when Loop Detector detects this car the program will be interrupted to open the traffic light needed. This intelligent system is experimented with conventional control system s’ data the obtained result is promising, it can reduce the green time, cycle time, and delayed time of each car at traffic light to its’ minimum value.
