Instrument requirements, concepts and capabilities will be presented.
However, practical difficulties (e.g., rigorous synthetic conditions, process complexity and difficulty, specific instrument requirements, hard quality control, and low growth rate) have severely limited their development toward real applications.
We present a simulator to model the diffuse ultraviolet sky, where the different contributors are separately calculated and added together to produce a sky image of the size specified by the instrument requirements.
Compton camera energy resolutions achieved with the final prototype are 6.3 keV (FWHM) at 356 keV and 10.5 keV (FWHM) at 662 keV, which satisfy the instrument requirements for the SGD Compton camera (better than 2%).
Accordingly, a numerical optimization is utilized to tailor the coating to the instrument requirements using the back-tracing method that has been developed for the VITESS Monte-Carlo simulation package for virtual instrumentation.
The guide_bot software package is best suited for the start of an instrument design project as it excels at comparing a large amount of different guide alternatives for a specific set of instrument requirements, but is still applicable in later stages as constraints can be used to optimize more specific guides.
The AIM science objectives motivate the CIPS measurement approach and drive the instrument requirements and design, leading to a configuration of four wide-angle cameras arrayed in a '+' arrangement that covers a 120° (along orbit track)×80° (across orbit track) field of view.
Here, we create an assay that combines artificially expanded genetic information systems (AEGIS, which adds nucleotides to the four in standard xNA, pairing orthogonally to A T and G C) with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) to amplify norovirus RNA at constant temperatures, without the power or instrument requirements of PCR cycling.
My team's role is to develop the initial science requirements and instrument requirements, to ensure that the science requirements are met for the instrument throughout the manufacturing phase, that data is disseminated appropriately once in operation, as well as maintain the links to NASA.
It was because of these more-desirable instrument requirements, and the general unsuitability of existing instruments, that we developed the nursing home administrator job satisfaction questionnaire (NHA-JSQ).
