Fuzzy-logic-based approach for identifying objects of interest in the PRIDE framework
2008
On-road autonomous vehicle navigation requires real-time motion planning in the presence of static and moving objects. Based on sensed data of the environment and the current traffic situation, an autonomous vehicle has to plan a path by predicting the future location of objects of interest. In this context, an object of interest is a moving or stationary object in the environment that has a reasonable probability of intersecting the path of the autonomous vehicle within a predetermined time frame. This paper investigates the identification of objects of interest within the PRIDE (PRediction In Dynamic Environments) framework. PRIDE is a multi-resolutional, hierarchical framework that predi…
Collision Theory for Two- and Three-Particle Systems Interacting via Short-Range and Coulomb Forces
1996
In two- and three-particle reactions with light nuclei, a rich body of precise experimental data exists in which both projectile and target and/or the fragments occurring in the final state are charged. In order to make optimal use of these data for extracting physically interesting information about the nuclear interactions, the effects of the Coulomb force must be separated out in a reliable manner. For this purpose the mastering of the intricacies of charged-particle scattering theory is of vital importance.
Search for supersymmetry in events with large missing transverse momentum, jets, and at least one tau lepton in 7 TeV proton-proton collision data wi…
2012
A search for supersymmetry (SUSY) in events with large missing transverse momentum, jets, and at least one hadronically decaying τ lepton, with zero or one additional light lepton (e/μ), has been performed using 4.7 fb[superscript −1] of proton-proton collision data at √s = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess above the Standard Model background expectation is observed and a 95 % confidence level visible cross-sectionupper limit for new phenomena is set. In the framework of gauge-mediated SUSY-breaking models, lower limits on the mass scale Λ are set at 54 TeV in the regions where the [bar over τ]1 is the next-to-lightest SUSY particle (tanβ > 20). …
The fragmentation of 5- and 3-substituted thiophene-2-carboxamides under electron impact
1980
The 70 eV electron impact mass spectra of twelve 5- and 3-substituted thiophene-2-carboxamides are discussed with the aid of exact mass measurements and labelling experiments. All mass spectra exhibit pronounced molecular ions. Some isomeric 5- and 3-substituted title compounds can be differentiated by mass spectrometry. The fragmentation is influenced by a strong ‘ortho-effect’ which activates the NH3 elimination. In the other cases the most important fragmentation is NH2˙ loss, followed by CO elimination.
Multicollision-induced dissociation of multiply charged gold clusters, Aun2+, n = 7–35, and Aun3+, n = 19–35
2000
Abstract Multicollision-induced dissociation (MCID) has been applied to gold clusters, Au n 2+ (n = 7–35) and Au n 3+ (n = 19–35) stored in a Penning trap. By application of ion cyclotron resonance excitation and pulses of argon collision gas, fragmentation yields have been measured as a function of the clusters’ kinetic energy. The corresponding dissociation energies have been determined by use of the impulsive collision theory and the quantum Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel (RRK) model for the energy transfer to internal cluster modes and for delayed dissociation, respectively. As compared to earlier measurements of singly charged gold clusters the variation of the stability as a function of clust…
Studies in organic mass spectrometry. Part 17—Formation of phenol radical ions by rearrangement of the molecular ions of someN-arylthiophenecarboxami…
1995
It has been shown by exact mass measurements and collision-induced dissociation mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectra that the structure of the m/z 124 ion observed in the mass spectra of N-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiophene-3-carboxamide, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-nitrothiophene-3-carboxamide and N-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzamide is identical with that of the molecular ion of 4-methoxyphenol. This ion becomes abundant in metastable energy window reactions. A probable mechanism for its formation is discussed.
Unveiling anion-induced folding in tripodal imidazolium receptors by ion-mobility mass spectrometry.
2021
The anion-induced folding of tripodal imidazolium receptors has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization ion mobility mass spectrometry and DFT calculations. Such folding can be switched by anion release upon collision induced dissociation.
Magnetic fields in heavy ion collisions: flow and charge transport
2020
At the earliest times after a heavy-ion collision, the magnetic field created by the spectator nucleons will generate an extremely strong, albeit rapidly decreasing in time, magnetic field. The impact of this magnetic field may have detectable consequences, and is believed to drive anomalous transport effects like the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME). We detail an exploratory study on the effects of a dynamical magnetic field on the hydrodynamic medium created in the collisions of two ultrarelativistic heavy-ions, using the framework of numerical ideal MagnetoHydroDynamics (MHD) with the ECHO-QGP code. In this study, we consider a magnetic field captured in a conducting medium, where the conduc…
A Comparison of Algorithms for Path Planning of Industrial Robots
2008
In this paper, the path planning problem for industrial robots in environ- ments with obstacles has been solved using four algorithms that implement different methodologies. Our objective is to analyze the characteristics of these algorithms. Consequently, the results (solutions) obtained with each of them are compared through the analysis of three operational parameters that are relevant to determine the qualities of the solutions. These parameters are: the computational time, the distance travelled by the robot and the number of generated configurations. One of the algorithms can be catalogued as indirect and the other three are variations of a direct method. The four algorithms have been…
A motion planning algorithm for the invalid initial state disassembly problem
2015
Sampling-based motion planners are able to plan disassembly paths at high performance. They are limited by the fact that the input triangle sets of the static and dynamic object need to be free of collision in the initial and all following states. In real world applications, like the disassembly planning in car industry, this often does not hold true. Beside data inaccuracy, this is mainly caused by the modeling of flexible parts as rigid bodies, especially fixture elements like clips. They cause the invalid initial state disassembly problem. In the literature there exists no algorithm that is able to calculate a reasonable disassembly path for an invalid initial state. Our novel algorithm …
