The spread of telemedicine systems increases every day. The systems and PACS based on DICOM images has become common. This rise reflects the need to develop new storage systems, more efficient and with lower computational costs. With this in mind, this article discusses a study for application in NetCDF data format as the basic platform for storage of DICOM images. The study case comparison adopts an ordinary database, the HDF5 and the NetCDF to storage the medical images. Empirical results, using a real set of images, indicate that the time to retrieve images from the NetCDF for large scale images has a higher latency compared to the other two methods. In addition, the latency is proportional to the file size, which represents a drawback to a telemedicine system that is characterized by a large amount of large image files.

Measurements of two-particle correlation functions and the first five azimuthal harmonics, v1 to v5, are presented, using 28 nb−1 of p+Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sNN=5.02 TeV measured with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Significant long-range “ridgelike” correlations are observed for pairs with small relative azimuthal angle (|Δϕ|<π/3) and back-to-back pairs (|Δϕ|>2π/3) over the transverse momentum range 0.44 GeV. The v2(pT), v3(pT), and v4(pT) are compared to the vn coefficients in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV with similar event multiplicities. Reasonable agreement is observed after accounting for the difference in the average pT of particles produced in the two collision systems.

A search is presented for new particles in an extension to the Standard Model that includes a heavy Higgs boson (H0), an intermediate charged Higgs-boson pair (H±), and a light Higgs boson (h0). The analysis searches for events involving the production of a single heavy neutral Higgs boson which decays to the charged Higgs boson and a W boson, where the charged Higgs boson subsequently decays into a W boson and the lightest neutral Higgs boson decaying to a bottom–antibottom-quark pair. Such a cascade results in a W-boson pair and a bottom–antibottom-quark pair in the final state. Events with exactly one lepton, missing transverse momentum, and at least four jets are selected from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1, collected by the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV at the LHC. The data are found to be consistent with Standard Model predictions, and 95% confidence-level upper limits are set on the product of cross section and branching ratio. These limits range from 0.065 to 43 pb as a function of H0 and H± masses, with mh0 fixed at 125 GeV.

An improved measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson is derived from a combined fit to the reconstructed invariant mass spectra of the decay channels H→γγ and H→ZZ*→4ℓ. The analysis uses the pp collision data sample recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider at center-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25 fb−1. The measured value of the Higgs boson mass is mH=125.36±0.37(stat)±0.18(syst) GeV. This result is based on improved energy-scale calibrations for photons, electrons, and muons as well as other analysis improvements, and supersedes the previous result from ATLAS. Upper limits on the total width of the Higgs boson are derived from fits to the invariant mass spectra of the H→γγ and H→ZZ*→4ℓ decay channels.

Numerical model and finite element analysis of an independent wire rope core (IWRC) which is bent over a sheave is investigated in this paper. 3-D solid model of the IWRC is constructed by using mesh generation techniques first. Then, problem of wire rope bending over sheave is considered. Finite element model is constructed and analyzed for a wire rope bent over sheave problem here. Two different lengths of IWRCs are analyzed for bending problem, a 9mm and a 300mm lengths respectively. Force distribution within an IWRC is presented by obtained wire-by-wire based numerical results. This analysis gives insight of the wire rope behavior while it is bent over sheave. Using the proposed analysis technique, stress distributions within an IWRC can be obtained for each wire composing the whole geometry.

A multivariate modelling may involve a set of multivariate functions. A vector valued function structure can be used to mathematically express the given problem and each multivariate function can be considered as an element of this vector. This work aims to construct a new approach representing the elements of this vector structure in terms of less‐variate functions to reduce the computational complexity. For this purpose, a new method based on the plain High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) philosophy is developed. The basic concepts of this method and several illustrative numerical implementations are given here.

The primary goal of software repositories is to store the source code of software during its development. Developers constantly store small parts (i.e. software modifications) of code into the repository and share those parts with others until the software is finished. However, software repositories store a significant amount of information about software and development processes. With the appropriate tool, source code modifications could be identified. In the article, we will introduce a tool for identifying structural source code changes from software repositories. With this tool, three open source projects were analyzed and different source code changes were identified during their development. We showed that the tool could be used to identify source code changes from software repositories.

A measurement of the production processes of the recently discovered Higgs boson is performed in the two-photon final state using 4.5 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions data at s=7 TeV and 20.3 fb−1 at s=8 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The number of observed Higgs boson decays to diphotons divided by the corresponding Standard Model prediction, called the signal strength, is found to be μ=1.17±0.27 at the value of the Higgs boson mass measured by ATLAS, mH=125.4 GeV. The analysis is optimized to measure the signal strengths for individual Higgs boson production processes at this value of mH. They are found to be μggF=1.32±0.38, μVBF=0.8±0.7, μWH=1.0±1.6, μZH=0.1−0.1+3.7, and μtt¯H=1.6−1.8+2.7, for Higgs boson production through gluon fusion, vector-boson fusion, and in association with a W or Z boson or a top-quark pair, respectively. Compared with the previously published ATLAS analysis, the results reported here also benefit from a new energy calibration procedure for photons and the subsequent reduction of the systematic uncertainty on the diphoton mass resolution. No significant deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model are found.

A search has been performed, using the full 20.3 fb−1 data sample of 8 TeV proton-proton collisions collected in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, for photons originating from a displaced vertex due to the decay of a neutral long-lived particle into a photon and an invisible particle. The analysis investigates the diphoton plus missing transverse momentum final state, and is therefore most sensitive to pair production of long-lived particles. The analysis technique exploits the capabilities of the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter to make precise measurements of the flight direction, as well as the time of flight, of photons. No excess is observed over the Standard Model predictions for background. Exclusion limits are set within the context of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models, with the lightest neutralino being the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle and decaying into a photon and gravitino with a lifetime in the range from 250 ps to about 100 ns.
