AbstractA menu-driven IBM-PC/MS-DOS software system for quantitative XRF analysis was designed combining elements of pattern recognition (spectral “fingerprinting”) with mathematical correction models. The following topics are covered:-pattern recognition method; N - dimension representation-local empirical Lachance-Traill or Lucas-Tooth & Price models-EGA/VGA intelligent driver for a calibration display-dSASE III Plus “data files - accessed from dBXL/Quicksifver”, dBASE III Plus or from compiled BASIC equipped with “call subroutines”-Examples of applications (stainless steels and ceramics).In this approach, experimental alphas are computed utilizing the closest automatically preselected standards from available data files. Alpha values generated in this fashion we term “local alphas”. An intelligent software program is employed which automatically recognizes the resolution of tiie CRT display and delivers the best possible display for the available equipment. This new design also permits the utilization of dBXL/Quicksitver, dBASE III Plus or compiled BASIC resources for additional on site system customization programming. A dBASE III Plus file format is used for XRF data storage. This permits fast data exchange with a local ASCII database and also with all popular spreadsheet formats. Additionally, there are utility subroutines available which allow direct and rapid manipuiation of dBASE III Plus files in compiled BASIC. Application of this software system and graphics to stainless steels and engineered ceramic materials are demonstrated. RIGAKU Smax/PDP-11/73 and TRACOR X-RAY SPECTRACE 5000/Compaq 386 spectrometers are used in these studies.

Abstract We have developed a systematic thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) technique for detecting and identifying drugs and drug metabolites on 10-cm-long silica-gel plates with organic binder (fluorescent indicator); a computer program (SPOT CHEK) assists in matching the data from a particular chromatogram with those obtained for known drugs recovered from serum, urine, or other specimens. The plates are developed in a single mobile phase. Visualization and detection reagents used to characterize unknowns include fluorescamine, ferric chloride/perchloric acid/nitric acid, Dragendorff, Marquis, Mandelin, and iodinated Dragendorff solutions, 254 nm ultraviolet light, and vapor from chlorine or hydrochloric acid. Detection limits of 5–200 ng per sample spot were obtained for drugs in the database. The computer program database is based on nine reaction responses plus the plate zone locations for 243 drug substances but requires entry of only one TLC property to generate a matching list. We ran the program with an IBM-compatible 386/486 PC using an MS-DOS operating system (version 6.2).

This paper describes how to use a desktop computer and inexpensive software plus a PC or Macintosh streaming server to deliver live interactive class sessions via video with audio streaming on the Internet. Although the use of Web-based instruction for preservice and inservice program delivery in special education and disability services is expanding rapidly, most existing programs rely primarily on text presentation and asynchronous (delayed time) technologies such as threaded discussions. Relatively little use has been made to date of the Web's multimedia capabilities or synchronous (real time) technologies such as audio- or video-conferencing. The use of webcasting technology (both simulcasts in real time and re-broadcasts on demand) represents a fairly inexpensive, simple to use mechanism for delivering personnel preparation programs for practitioners working in early intervention, special education, or adult disability services in rural areas without the need for high bandwidth connections. The distance education program in Severe/Multiple Disabilities and Early Intervention Special Education at West Virginia University has successfully utilized webcasting technology to deliver a graduate certification and degree program to practicing but uncertified special educators working in rural areas of the United States as well as in several other locations around the world.

Recently, Dahan and co-workers (Dahan, 1991) suggested processing the XRD data by spreadsheet computer programs. Treated in this manner the XRD data became very flexible and made comparison with other data sets, as well as graphical presentation, much easier. In this note a simple FORTRAN 77 program for conversion of PC-APD data files into ASCII files suitable for import into spreadsheets is reported.In our laboratory XRD data are collected on a Philips 1710 diffractometer operated by the PC-APD version 2.0 (PC-APD Software, 1989). Each experiment usually generates its files containing collected raw intensity data (.RD file), background data (.BK file) and file with peak positions and their intensities (.DI file). The XRD data can be further processed: after smoothing, data are stored in files with extension .SM (.SM file) and, after Kα2 stripping, into files with extension .A2 (.A2 file). All files are stored in the binary format.

Many labs today wish to transfer data between their EDS systems and their existing PCs and minicomputers. Our lab has implemented SpectraPlot, a low- cost PC-based system to allow offline examination and plotting of spectra. We adopted this system in order to make more efficient use of our microscopes and EDS consoles, to provide hardcopy output for an older EDS system, and to allow students to access their data after leaving the university.As shown in Fig. 1, we have three EDS systems (one of which is located in another building) which can store data on 8 inch RT-11 floppy disks. We transfer data from these systems to a DEC MINC computer using “SneakerNet”, which consists of putting on a pair of sneakers and running down the hall. We then use the Hermit file transfer program to download the data files with error checking from the MINC to the PC.

Perceptual and Motor Skills 78, no. 3 (June 1994): 915–30. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/003151259407800346.
Full textAbstract:
Diagnoses of injuries as a result of trauma are commonly coded by means of the International Classification of Diseases (9th rev.) Clinical Modification (ICD-9CM). The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) is frequently employed to assess the severity of injury per body region. The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is an over-all index or summary of the severity of injury. To compute one of these two types of scores the entire medical record of each patient must be examined. The program ICDTOAIS replaces the manual coding or translation between the two scores. The program converts the ICD-9CM coded diagnoses into AIS and ISS scores. The program also computes the maximum AIS (MAXAIS) per body region, enabling the researcher to assess the relative impact of the severity of trauma of different body regions in both morbidity and mortality studies. The program locates invalid ICD-9CM rubrics in the data file. ICDTOAIS may be employed as a program alone or as a procedure in database management systems (e.g., DBase III plus, DBase IV, or the different versions of FOXPRO). The program is written in Turbo Pascal, Version 6.

This month, we provide an example of a rich mathematical task that leads to many different connections. The task was posed to a class of high school seniors who were using a dynamic program for geometry called Cabri Geometry II. This tip includes directions for creating this problem with technology and suggestions for exploring it. The Cabri II software is available for Macintosh and PC computers from www.cabrilog.com/en or education.ti.com. It is also available for several different Texas Instruments calculators (TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus Silver, Voyage 200, TI-89, and TI-92 Plus). The program is similar to The Geometer's Sketchpad, and users who are familiar with The Geometer's Sketchpad should be able to easily adapt this task to use with it.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes a shell which facilitates the use of the existing PIXE analysis software package PIXAN. In this work, we designed, wrote and examined several PIXE spectra in a utility program that is called WPASS. The WPASS program merely links PIXAN modules and makes their use more convenient than before. The WPASS program handles automatically PEAKFIT (BATTY) and THICK programs. It outputs the results into several files belonging to the same data file. These include converting data files from one-column-format OCF to PIXANPC format; control, graphics, and result files from PEAKFIT; control and result files from THICK; options for graphical plotting the results on the PC and converting the graphics files for their components for publications of the results. WPASS has new features that consider the secondary interelement fluorescence. WPASS has been used successfully for the analysis of PIXE spectra and inner-shell ionization studies.

Full textAbstract:
University of Central Florida College of Engineering ThesisA computerized flow process charting application program of dBase III+ has been developed to aid in resource requirements planning and operations analysis. Traditional flow process charting has used as the following data elements: assembly number, assembly sequence number, distance travelled, time required for the activity and an activity symbol. The computerized system adds several variables to these in order to customize the application at Martin Marietta Electronic Systems. These additional variables include work center identification, machine number identification, lot sizes, set up and run times and manufacturing specifications. Additionally, the circle or operations symbol has been expanded to differentiate between manual, process and test activities. Resources requirements planning and analysis is accomplished by a series of reports where a user defines search requirements and enters three independent equation variables for the calculations. The three variables are realization factor or safety factor, resource availability in hours per month and monthly production demand. The resource requirements can be used in methods engineering, make-buy decisions and resource planning. Sensitivity analyses can be easily accomplished by changing the input variables and/or data.

Full textAbstract:
With the exponential growth of the Internet and e-commerce, the need for secure transactions has become a necessity for both consumer and business. Even though there have been advances in security technology, one aspect remains constant: passwords still play a central role in system security. The difficulty with passwords is that all too often they are the easiest security mechanism to defeat. Kevin Mitnick, notably the most recognized computer hacker, made the following statement concerning humans and their passwords: …the human side of computer security is easily exploited and constantly overlooked. Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls, encryption and secure access devices, and it’s money wasted, because none of these measures addresses the weakest link in the security chain. (Poulsen, 2000) Without secure passwords, e-commerce sites invite online criminals to attempt fraudulent schemes that mimic the goods and services that legitimate e-commerce merchants offer. With increasing numbers of users on an increasing array of e-commerce sites, often requiring the use of passwords, users often choose to reuse the same simplistic password, and do so on multiple sites (Campbell, Calvert, & Boswell, 2003). For most computerized systems, passwords are the first line of defense against hackers or intruders (Horowitz, 2001). There have been numerous published articles that have created guidelines on how to create better or safer passwords with the following recommendations: 1. passwords should be memorized and not written down; 2. passwords should be an eight- or nine-character word or phrase, and end users should randomly add 3. passwords should contain a mixture of letters (both upper- and lowercase), numbers, and punctuation characters; and 4. passwords should never be words that can be commonly found in a dictionary. But if an individual adheres to security experts’ suggestions about password authentication, it usually involves a trade-off. If a password is easy to create and remember, it is most likely that it is easy for others to guess or a hacker to crack. Eventually, any password can be cracked. Password crackers use a variety of methods and tools that can include guessing, dictionary lists, or brute force attacks. Dictionary lists are created by using an automated program that includes a text file of words that are common in a dictionary. The program repeatedly attempts to log on to the target system, using a different word from the text file on each attempt. A brute force attack is a variation of the dictionary attacks, but it is designed to determine passwords that may not be included in the text file. In a brute force attack, the attacker uses an automated program that generates hashes or encrypted values for all possible passwords and compares them to the values in the password file (Conklin, White, Cothren, Williams, & Davis, 2004). Unfortunately, many of the deficiencies of password authentication systems arise from the limitations of human cognitive ability (Pond, Podd, Bunnell, & Henderson, 2000). The requirements to remember long and complicated passwords are contrary to a well-known property of human memory. First, the capacity of human memory in its capacity to remember a sequence of items is temporally limited, with a short-term capacity of around seven items plus or minus two (Kanaley, 2001). Second, when humans remember a sequence of items, those items cannot be drawn from an arbitrary and unfamiliar range, but must be familiar “chunks” such as words or familiar symbols. Third, the human memory thrives on redundancy. In fact, studies have shown that individuals’ short-term memory will retain a password for approximately 30 seconds, thereby requiring individuals to attempt to memorize their passwords immediately (Atkinson & Shiffrin, 1968).

Cuba has one of the lowest internet penetration rates in the world. This encourages Cubans to create alternative ways of coping with digital scarcity, including hidden wi-fi antennas and ethernet cables strung over streets and rooftops, and physical networks of digital media circulation that rely on memory sticks and other portable devices. These alternative networks counter the inefficiency and unreliability of the official media infrastructures, providing the population with access to digital media and to what presently circulates outside of Cuba. Electroacoustic and electronic musicians benefit from these physical networks of circulation by accessing text, audio, and image files, as well as cracked software, anti-virus definitions, and plug-ins. This chapter explores the creative impacts of evolving media infrastructures on the production and circulation of digital media in Cuba, looking at how wires, waves, and webs affect the creation of new collectives and new music during a period of rapid economic and political transformation. It addresses the strategies adopted by electronic musicians to access programs and software, and to create music in a context of digital scarcity and through illicit and legal infrastructures. The chapter discusses telecommunications networks and the digitalization of music on this island, where the creative strategies for dealing with such infrastructures (or the lack thereof) contribute to new fields of musical practice. Digital culture in Cuba is about alternative local intranets as much as the official global internet, hand-to-hand data sharing as much as peer-to-peer file transfers, human “servers” as much as computer servers.

Modern automobiles contain more and more mechatronical components to support the task of driving. Such mechatronical components are, e.g., an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and an electronic stability program (ESP) to support driving safety, or a predictive advanced front lighting system P-AFS) to enhance the lighting capabilities of a vehicle on a winding road. P-AFS uses GPS-data to locate the vehicle’s position plus digital map data to predict the curvature of the road in front of the vehicle. Based on this, P-AFS predicts the road scenario and swivels the front headlights accordingly. That way, the headlights follow the road’s curvature and optimally illuminate the road in front of the vehicle. To design, evaluate, and optimize the control algorithms within the electronic control unit (ECU) of the P-AFS component, up to 30 design variables need to be adjusted and tuned to ensure an optimal response of the system to the current road scenario. For this task, numerous time-consuming and costly test drives at night are necessary. This paper introduces a Virtual Reality-based night drive simulator that visualizes the complex lighting characteristics of automotive headlights in high detail and in real-time on a PC-based system. The user drives a simulated vehicle over a virtual test track at night, the vehicle’s motion directly influences the lighting direction of headlights, and the effect of the vehicle dynamics on the lighting can be evaluated directly in the simulator. The system is connected to the control algorithms of a P-AFS component to control the headlights swivelling for a close-to-reality simulation of a P-AFS based lighting system during the simulated night drive. That way, good combinations of the design variables can be found, based on virtual night drives in the simulator system, and the number of real test drives can be reduced significantly. Promising combinations of the design variables then can be validated in a test vehicle during a real test drive a night.

Full textAbstract:
Effective use of nuclear fuel is an important issue in nuclear material engineering. Pu recycle is refocused for effective use of nuclear fuel. MOX and inert matrix fuels (e.g., ZrO2-PuO2) are expected for effective burning Pu, however, Pu material is difficult to manage due to its radiotoxicity. As a result, cost of experimental facilities is very expensive. As computer simulation not only cuts cost for experimental researches but also provides deep understandings in atomic behavior, we have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to research its material characteristics. In order to obtain realistic results, many atoms and many time steps are essential, however, such computation takes too much long time. So a parallelized program code is executed on a grid computing environment provided by an Information Technology Based Laboratory (ITBL) project. Its grid computing infrastructure (hereafter an ITBL system) provides users a seamless computing environment and many kinds of software tools such as a file manager, a program execution manager, and a cooperative tool for AVS/Express on a grid computing environment. Furthermore, a client application program interface (API) is provided to build a variety of grid applications on a client terminal PC for accessing the ITBL’s functionalities. As there is a strong request from users in our material simulation research to utilize their native visualization software, we have selected the client API to build an application-specific grid computing environment which cooperates with the visualization software. We have built a customized graphical user interface (GUI) computing environment on a client terminal PC by using the Java client API. It provides a seamless access to ITBL’s computational resources from a user’s terminal PC. It also assists choosing parameters for the computation in parameter survey runs. Moreover, it enables successive processing of computation on remote parallel computers and visualization on a user’s terminal PC in a single operation. The environment also provides a user friendly GUI interface for parameter controls and monitoring of submitted jobs. As a result, this computing environment removes difficulties in manual operations for parallel computations and visualizations in parameter survey runs. So, it prevents users from mistakes in the operations. This environment is expected to accelerate finding procedure for good nuclear fuel.
