Reliability of Data Transmission of UAVs
2018
Drones have been recently an interesting subject of research due to their roles in accomplishing missions. Flying in a formation fleet, they form a cooperative communication system in order to improve the efficiency of the mission. For this reason, the reliability of the communication is essential to guarantee the overall performance of the fleet although the link conditions, the external factors and the hardware failures of a drone. The drones capture several images or videos of the geographical area of the mission and send them to other drones in the fleet or to the Ground Station Control (GSC). The importance is to ensure that all the data transmitted is received. In this article, we aim…
Coordinative Versatility of Guanazole [3,5‐Diamino‐1,2,4‐triazole]: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, EPR, and Magnetic Properties of a Dinuclear and a L…
2006
New complexes with guanazole (3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole = Hdatrz), [Cu 2 (Hdatrz) 2 (μ-OH 2 )(H 2 O) 4 (SO 4 )](SO 4 )·3.5H 2 O (1) and [Cu 3 (Hdatrz) 4 (μ-Cl) 2 (H 2 O) 4 (SO 4 ) 2 ]·11.4H 2 O (2), have been prepared and structurally characterized. Complex 1 is a noncentrosymmetric dinuclear compound in which the cop-per(II) ions are bridged by two triazole ligands and one μ-OH 2 molecule, with a Cu(1)···Cu(2) distance of 3.4945(8) A. The chromophores are Cu(1)N 2 O 2 O' (square pyramidal), and Cu(2)N 2 O 2 O'O" (octahedral). Complex 2 has a linear trinuclear copper(II) structure, with two crystallographically independent copper(II) atoms. Neighboring copper(II) ions are linked by two tri…
Synthesis and structural characterization of titanium complexes containing a sulfinyl-bridged bis(phenolato) ligand
1998
Abstract Titanium complexes containing the novel tridentate 2,2′-sulfinylbis(6-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxo) ligand (sibmp) were synthesized and characterized. Treatment of titanium tetra-iso-propoxide with 2,2′-sulfinylbis(6-tert-4-methylphenol) (sibmpH2) in 1:1 molar ratio afforded red-orange, sparingly soluble di-iso-propoxo derivative [Ti(sibmp)(O-i-Pr)2]2·0.5 Et2O. The single-crystal structure analysis was performed and revealed a dimeric centrosymmetric structure with a planar Ti2O2 core. The titanium center is approximately octahedral with a SO function intramolecularly coordinated at the titanium center. Treatment of sibmpH2 with titanium tetra-iso-propoxide in 2:1 molar ratio gave y…
Geometrically diverse anions in anion–π interactions
2011
The role of different anion geometries in anion–π interactions is discussed. The chemistry described herein is different to the interaction of spherical cations with aromatics. The influence of different geometries makes selective anion recognition more complicated than respective cation sensing. The present structural study reveals attractive interactions between pentafluorophenyl units and geometrically diverse anions (linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral and octahedral). Due to the electrostatic nature of anion–π interactions, the anion geometry seems to be irrelevant. The size of the anion controls the relative orientation of the anion and the π system (e.g. in compounds 1–3). The dimer…
The functionalization of nanodiamonds (diamondoids) as a key parameter of their easily controlled self-assembly in micro- and nanocrystals from the v…
2014
We detail herein readily accessible processes to control previously unobserved robust self-assemblies of nanodiamonds (diamondoids) in micro- and nanocrystals from their mild vapor deposition. The chemical functionalization of uniform and discernible nanodiamonds was found to be a key parameter, and depending on the type of functional group (hydroxy, fluorine, etc.) and its position on the diamondoid, the structure of the discrete deposits can vary dramatically. Thus, well-defined anisotropic structures such as rod, needle, triangle or truncated octahedron shapes can be obtained, and self-assembled edifices of sizes ranging from 20 nm to several hundred micrometers formed with conservation …

Almost square Banach spaces
2014
We single out and study a natural class of Banach spaces -- almost square Banach spaces. In an almost square space we can find, given a finite set $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_N$ in the unit sphere, a unit vector $y$ such that $\|x_i-y\|$ is almost one. These spaces have duals that are octahedral and finite convex combinations of slices of the unit ball of an almost square space have diameter 2. We provide several examples and characterizations of almost square spaces. We prove that non-reflexive spaces which are M-ideals in their biduals are almost square. We show that every separable space containing a copy of $c_0$ can be renormed to be almost square. A local and a weak version of almost square spa…
Dynamics of outgassing and plume transport revealed by proximal Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) measurements at Volcán Villarrica, Chile
2019
Volcanic gas emissions are intimately linked to the dynamics of magma ascent and outgassing, and, on geological timescales, constitute an important source of volatiles to the Earth's atmosphere. Measurements of gas composition and flux are therefore critical to both volcano monitoring and to determining the contribution of volcanoes to global geochemical cycles. However, significant gaps remain in our global inventories of volcanic emissions, (particularly for CO2, which requires proximal sampling of a concentrated plume) for those volcanoes where the near‐vent region is hazardous or inaccessible. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) provide a robust and effective solution to proximal sampling of …
Implementation and performance of the ATLAS second level jet trigger
2008
ATLAS is one of the four major LHC experiments, designed to cover a wide range of physics topics. In order to cope with a rate of 40 MHz and 25 interactions per bunch crossing, the ATLAS trigger system is divided in three different levels. The first one (LVL1, hardware based) identifies signatures in 2 microseconds that are confirmed by the the following trigger levels (software based). The Second Level Trigger (LVL2) only looks at a region of the space around the LVL1 signature (called Region of Interest or ROI), confirming/rejecting the event in about 10 ms, while the Event Filter (Third Level Trigger, EF) has potential full event access and larger processing times, of the order of 1 s. T…
The Upgrade of the ATLAS Level-1 Central Trigger Processor
2013
The ATLAS Level-1 Central Trigger Processor (CTP) combines information from calorimeter and muon trigger processors as well as other sources and makes the final Level-1 Accept (L1A) decision. Due to the increasing luminosity of the LHC and the growing demands of physics and monitoring placed on the ATLAS Level-1 trigger system, the current CTP has reached its design limits. Therefore and in order to provide some margin for future operation, the CTP will be upgraded during the LHC shutdown of 2013/14.
