The Gaia reference frame amid quasar variability and proper motion patterns in the data

The astrometric satellite Gaia was launched in December, 2013. It will observe nearly one billion stars in the Milky Way and beyond along with many extragalactic objects such as quasars and galaxies. The analysis of quasar data will provide the optical counterpart of the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF). Also, the analysis of data for stars in our Galaxy provide a revolution in our u

Implementation of a Scalable Matrix Inversion Architecture for Triangular Matrices

This paper presents an FPGA implementation of a novel snd Ihighl! scalable hardware architecture for inversion of triangiiliir matrices. An integral part of modern signal processing and communications applications involves manipulation of large matrices. Therefore, scalable and flexible hardware architectures are increasingly sought for. In this paper the traditional triangular shaped array archit

Near-miss reporting among construction workers

In 2012, there were 11 000 accidents and near-miss reported of which most of it can be prevented. Though reporting and investigating injuries present a more detailed picture, this is still a lagging indicator — measuring after the event. Recording and investigating near misses, on the other hand, can be used as a positive indicator of performance tool to fix problems before injuries occur. Employe

Eye movements during visual imagery have a functional role and are related to individual differences in spatial imagery ability

This study investigated eye movements during visual imagery, under two experimental conditions. Participants recalled complex pictures from memory while looking at a blank screen under a condition of free viewing and under a condition where fixation was maintained in the centre of the screen. The recall task was to orally describe the picture. Results showed that, under the condition of free viewi

Purification of process water in a thermomechanical pulp mill by nanofiltration

Process water from a Swedish thermomechanical pulp mill was purified by consecutive treatment by microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration. In the present study the nanofiltration step was studied. The flux and retention of four nanofiltration membranes were compared. The NF99HF membrane (Alfa Laval, Lund, Sweden), had significantly higher flux and higher retention of lignin and charged
