DAYCOR users manual (open access)

DAYCOR users manual

The DAYton temperature CORrection model (DAYCOR) calculates the temperature correction that must be applied to the temperature measured by the VIZ radiosonde`s white rod thermistor to deduce the atmospheric temperature. The temperature correction calculation takes into account all the significant heat transfer processes that influence the temperature of the rod thermistor. These processes include the convective heat transfer with the air, the solar and infrared radiation absorbed by the thermistor, the radiation emitted by the thermistor, and the heat conducted to the thermistor through the lead wires. The DAYCOR model ignores the influence, on the thermistor, of reflected and emitted radiation from the balloon and radiosonde instrument. Luers`(1989) shows these influences to contribute less than 10% to the temperature correction. The heating of the thermistor from the electric current passing through the circuit is small and is also neglected in the model calculations.

TMAP4 User's Manual (open access)

TMAP4 User's Manual

The Tritium Migration Analysis Program, Version 4 (TMAP4) has been developed by the Fusion Safety Program at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) as a safety analysis code, mainly to analyze tritium retention and loss in fusion reactor structures and systems during normal operation and accident conditions. TMAP4 incorporates one-dimensional thermal- and mass-diffusive transport and trapping calculations through structures and zero dimensional fluid transport between enclosures and across the interface between enclosures and structures. A key feature is the ability to input problem definition parameters as constants, interpolation tables, or FORTRAN equations. The code is specifically intended for use under a DOS operating system on PC-type mini-computers, but it has also been run successfully on workstations and mainframe computer systems. Use of the equation-input feature requires access to a FORTRAN-77 compiler and a linker program.

The unofficial AMPLEX owner's manual (open access)

The unofficial AMPLEX owner's manual

The AMPLEX chip is an AMPlifying multipLEXing, CMOS technology device. It is an analog signal processor, designed at CERN for use with silicon microstrip detectors. However, its application is not limited to conventional microstrips and it is being used in various detector systems. AMPLEX design goals included modest power consumption and reasonable speed. The main drawback of the chip seems to be a lack of documentation. This report will attempt to fill this void by providing a summary of the properties of the AMPLEX chip, a brief synopsis of how it functions, and most importantly an explanation of how to make it operate in a practical circuit. The information in this paper pertains to the application of the AMPLEX chip to microstrip detectors for the electron beam at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Accelerator Test Facility. Detector design was carried out in the Instrumentation Division. Details of the driving circuit and some information on the inner workings of the AMPLEX chip came directly from CERN and from the paper by E. Beuville et al. The author is in no way connected with CERN, nor is he attempting to promote the AMPLEX chip; he is merely interested in making the chip work and …

GKS-EZ programming manual for FORTRAN-77 (open access)

GKS-EZ programming manual for FORTRAN-77

A standard has now been adopted for subroutine packages that drive graphic devices. It is known as the Graphical Kernel system (GKS), and many commercial implementations of it are available. Unfortunately, it is a difficult system to learn, and certain functions that are important for scientific use are not provided. Although GKS can be used to achieve portability of graphic applications between graphic devices, computers, and operating systems, it can also be misused in this respect. In addition, it introduces the very real problem of portability between the various implementations of GKS. This document describes a set of FORTRAN-77 subroutines that may be used to control a wide variety of graphic devices and overcome most of these problems. Some of these subroutines are from GKS itself, while others are higher-level subroutines that call GKS subroutines. These subroutines are collectively known as GKS-EZ. The purpose is to supply someone who is not a specialist in computer graphics with a flexible, robust, and easy to learn graphics system. Users of GKS-EZ should not have much need for a full GKS manual; this document will supply all of the information to use GKS-EZ except for a few items. These missing items include the …

A valiant little terminal: A VLT user's manual (open access)

A valiant little terminal: A VLT user's manual

VLT came to be used at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center), because SLAC wanted to assess the Amiga's usefulness as a color graphics terminal and T{sub E}X workstation. Before the project could really begin, the people at SLAC needed a terminal emulator which could successfully talk to the IBM 3081 (now the IBM ES9000-580) and all the VAXes on the site. Moreover, it had to compete in quality with the Ann Arbor Ambassador GXL terminals which were already in use at the laboratory. Unfortunately, at the time there was no commercial program which fit the bill. Luckily, Willy Langeveld had been independently hacking up a public domain VT100 emulator written by Dave Wecker et al. and the result, VLT, suited SLAC's purpose. Over the years, as the program was debugged and rewritten, the original code disappeared, so that now, in the present version of VLT, none of the original VT100 code remains.

AHP Version 5.1 user`s manual (open access)

AHP Version 5.1 user`s manual

As decisions become more and more complex, decision makers are faced with the challenge of sorting through many variables to arrive at a sound decision. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a tool, that allows a systematic, logical approach to reducing complex issues into manageable pieces. The decision maker can then sort through the variables and determine to what degree a particular variable should influence the final decision. The power of the AHP as a management tool comes from the fact that it reduces complex problems to many simple pairwise decisions. Only two items need be compared against one another - a much simpler task than comparing an item to all the others simultaneously. By arranging the items that influence a decision in the form of a matrix and comparing appropriate pairs in this matrix to each other, each item can be compared with every other item. Matrix algebra can then operate on this matrix and rank each item according to its importance to the final decision.

Colloid transport code-nuclear user`s manual (open access)

Colloid transport code-nuclear user`s manual

This report describes the CTCN computer code, designed to solve the equations of transient colloidal transport of radionuclides in porous and fractured media. This Fortran 77 package solves systems of coupled nonlinear differential equations with a wide range of boundary conditions. The package uses the Method of Lines technique with a special section which forms finite-difference discretizations in up to four spatial dimensions to automatically convert the system into a set of ordinary differential equations. The CTCN code then solves these equations using a robust, efficient ODE solver. Thus CTCN can be used to solve population balance equations along with the usual transport equations to model colloid transport processes or as a general problem solver to treat up to four-dimensional differential systems.

User's guide and documentation manual for BOAST-VHS for the PC''

The recent advancement of computer technology makes reservoir simulations feasible in a personal computer (PC) environment. This manual provides a guide for running BOAST-VHS, a black oil reservoir simulator for vertical/horizontal/slant wells, using a PC. In addition to detailed explanations of input data file preparation for simulation runs, special features of BOAST-VHS are described and three sample problems are presented. BOAST-VHS is a cost-effective and easy-to-use reservoir simulation tool for the study of oil production from primary depletion and waterflooding in a black oil reservoir. The well model in BOAST-VHS permits specification of any combination of horizontal, slanted, and vertical wells in the reservoir. BOAST-VHS was designed for an IBM PC/AT, PS-2, or compatible computer with 640 K bytes of memory. BOAST-VHS can be used to model a three-dimensional reservoir of up to 810 grid blocks with any combination of rows, columns, and layers, depending on the input data supplied. This dynamic redimensioning feature facilitates simulation work by avoiding the need to recompiling the simulator for different reservoir models. Therefore the program is only supplied as executable code without any source code.

The network observer: A user's manual and programmer's guide for the und xb code

A computer program that will yield graphic displays of a variety of statistics simultaneously for 13 emeters has been created. It runs on the SUN computer and uses Dunigan's xtraffic.c code and the xmx code written at Brown University to multiplex these graphs to users at remote sites. By operating in this manner the remote user gets the information without having to query the emeter directly. The emeter is then not overloaded by requests for information, and the operation of the network is more efficient. Current versions of this code operate on the SUN computer and can be extended to other platforms.
