Coarse-resolution CT scanning for sawmill logs sorting and grading
Creators: name: An, Yuntao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Significant economic advantage can be achieved by grading logs at the inlet of a sawmill so that they can be optimally processed to manufacture the highest possible value products from the available raw material. At present, log inspection is mainly based on visual observation of surface defects and optical measurement of external features. Such inspection is time-consuming and many quality-controlling features are not visible on the surface, thus very much prone to error. Computed Tomography (CT) has been extensively used as a medical diagnostic tool, and increasingly used for scientific and industrial research. In the wood industry, there is a growing interest in using the CT technique to assess the quality of logs entering a sawmill. Internal features of interest include knots, heartwood/sapwood boundary, rot and splits. Most commercially available CT scanning systems are modeled on medical designs and provide high spatial and density resolution. However, they are very complex and delicate and their cost is correspondingly high. The extreme scanning speed requirement, moderate affordability and severe working environment in a sawmill make medical style CT scanner unsuited for sorting and grading applications. Log scanning is not as challenging as medical scanning because most targeted internal features are fairly large and have specific geometrical shapes. A suitable log scanner for this task must be simple, rugged and economical. Based on these thoughts, a novel coarse-resolution CT scanning approach is developed in this thesis. The research work includes designing and constructing a practical CT log scanner, developing coarse-resolution log models, customizing log CT data processing techniques and designing and implementing efficient reconstruction algorithms. The prototyped log scanner and the coarse-resolution density reconstruction results will be demonstrated in this thesis. Such reconstructions reveal internal features inside the log and provide rich information such as knot size/location, sapwood/heartwood extent, localized and averaged internal densities. The results also compare well with CT reconstructions using the same measurement with conventional filter-back-projection algorithm. The good comparison gives confidence in the usefulness and applicability of the proposed approach for practical sawmill logs sorting and grading application in the future.

description: For a positive measure set of nonuniformly expanding quadratic maps on the interval we effect a multifractal formalism, i.e., decompose the phase space into level sets of time averages of a given observable and consider the associated {\it Birkhoff spectrum} which encodes this decomposition. We derive a formula which relates the Hausdorff dimension of level sets to entropies and Lyapunov exponents of invariant probability measures, and then use this formula to show that the spectrum is continuous. In order to estimate the Hausdorff dimension from above, one has to "see" sufficiently many points. To this end, we construct a family of towers. Using these towers we establish a large deviation principle for empirical distributions, with Lebesgue as a reference measure.

Places to fish: List of New Jersey lakes, ponds, reservoirs and streams open to public angling
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1994

description: At last count there were over 4,100 freshwater lakes, ponds, impoundments and reservoirs, one acre or greater, in New Jersey. These amount to over 61,000 acres. This sounds like an awful lot of fishing water, however because most of them are privately controlled the great majority of these waters are closed to the general angler. The following list of waters is designed to assist the fisherman in finding a place to fish and to give him a general idea of what facilities he will find when he gets there and what species of game and panfish are apt to be found. The list is probably not 100 percent complete and will never be 100 percent accurate, as conditions change constantly. We have included only those waters where a good population of desirable species of worthwhile sizes exists and where public access is assured.

description: We consider a normal complete rational variety with a torus action of complexity one. In the main results, we determine the roots of the automorphism group and give an explicit description of the root system of its semisimple part. The results are applied to the study of almost homogeneous varieties. For example, we describe all almost homogeneous (possibly singular) del Pezzo k*-surfaces of Picard number one and all almost homogeneous (possibly singular) Fano threefolds of Picard number one having a reductive automorphism group with two-dimensional maximal torus.

description: Killerstämme der Milchhefe Kluyveromyces lactis sekretieren einen heterotrimeren (αßγ) Toxinkomplex (Zymocin), welcher das Wachstum sensitiver Hefen wie z.B. Saccharomyces cerevisiae inhibiert. Die Zytotoxizität des Zymocins resultiert aus der Endonucleaseaktivität der γ-Untereinheit. Diese spaltet im Zytosol sensitiver Hefezellen tRNAGlu, tRNALys und tRNAGln auf der 3‘-Seite Elongator-abhängig modifizierter Wobble-Uridine (U34) im Anticodonbereich. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit (Publikation 1, 2 und 3) konnten vier neue Binde- bzw Importfaktoren (PMA1, IPT1, UGP1 und ISR1) identifiziert werden, die vermutlich in Ereignisse nach der Zymocinbindung an den Zellwandrezeptor Chitin involviert sind. Im zweiten Teil (Manuskript 1 und 2) steht der evolutionär hochkonservierte Elongator im Mittelpunkt. Der Komplex hat Acetyltransferase-Aktivität und ist essentiell für die Bildung von modifizierten Seitenketten im Anticodon (U34) einiger tRNAs. Die Aktivität des Elongators ist dabei nicht nur von einer vollständigen Assemblierung, sondern auch vom Phosphorylierungsstatus der Elp1-Untereinheit, abhängig. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass neben der Typ2A-Proteinphosphatase Sit4, auch die Caseinkinase Hrr25 den Elp1-Phosphorylierungsstatus beeinflusst.

description: The graded base InGaAs//InP heterostructure bipolar transistors (HBTs)were passivated by the low-temperature plasma deposited iNx .The current gain was found to increase after the passivation.The study of the Gummel plots shows that the passivation results in the reduction of both the collector current and base current,while the decrease of the base current is more significant.This causes the increase of the current gain.Nitrogen plasma treatment results in the increase of the current gain,while Silane plasma treatment results in a small reduction of the current gain.The influence of the plasmas of the two sources on the HBTs ’ performance are investigated..In- situ ellipsometer study showed that at the initial state of SiNx deposition,the SiNx deposition rate was zero,and nitrogen plasma has strong effects on the passivation of HBTs and results in the increase of the current gain. surface recombination,these cause the increase of the base current and the decrease of current gain.

description: We report variation of collector and base currents with temperature from 80K-400K on InGaAs/GaAs and AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs. The results obtained showed clearly that, among all the material systems studied, the InP/ In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As HBTs have the lowest turn-on voltage (0.1V). This is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. Although marked differences in the values of turn-on, Vturn-on for InGaAs-and GaAs-based HBTs were observed, voltage-thermal feedback coefficients of Vturn-on for all devices, irrespective of their material systems, do not differ considerably.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit den Xenotransplantaten von insgesamt drei Weichteilsarkom-Zelllinien (zwei Rhabdomyosarkome, ein undifferenziertes Sarkom), die zum einen einer vergleichenden morphologischen Betrachtung über mehrere Generationen unterzogen wurden. Zum anderen wurden erste orientierende in-vivo-Gentransfer-Untersuchungen mit wtp53-Plasmiden und mdm2-Antisense-Oligodesoxynukleotiden, die via intratumorale Injektion verabreicht wurden, durchgeführt. Es konnte bei den Xenotransplantaten aller drei Zelllinien eine Stabilität im Phänotyp über den Zeitraum der Transplantationen, sowohl auf lichtmikroskopischer als auch auf ultrastruktureller Ebene, nachgewiesen werden, wodurch deren Eignung als in-vivo-Modell bestätigt wird. In den Gentransfer-Studien konnten erste qualitative Aussagen getroffen werden: Eine Therapie mit wtp53-Plasmiden und mdm2-AS-ODNs bei RD-Xenotransplantaten zeigte deutliche Unterschiede im Nekroseausmaß zentraler Tumorbereiche im Vergleich zur Kontrolle. Anschlussuntersuchungen zum morphologischen Verhalten nach weiteren Transplantationsgenerationen können weitere Sicherheit über die schon gewonnenen Ergebnisse bringen. Die Methode der intratumoralen Injektion ist als solche kritisch zu überdenken. Weiterhin sollten kleinere Tumoren sowie kontinuierliche Wirkstoff-Applikation Gegenstand nachfolgender Studien sein.
description: This work deals with the xenotransplants out of three soft tissue sarcoma cell lines (two rhabdomyosarcomas, one undifferentiated sarcoma) which on the one hand were morphologically investigated over several transplantation periods. On the other hand there was carried out in vivo gene transfer using wtp53-plasmids and mdm2-antisense-oligodesoxynucleotids targeting tumours via intratumoral injection. We found phenotypical stability of all xenotransplants during the whole transplantation period, both light-microscopically and ultrastructurally suggesting the applicability of these tumours as an in vivo model. The gene transfer studies brought out first qualitative results: a therapy with wtp53-plasmids and mdm2-AS-ODNs applied to the xenotransplants of the RD cell line showed distinct differences in the extend of necrosis of central tumour areas compared to the control tumour. Further investigations are needed to bring out more safety about the results after many transplant generations. Intratumoral injection of DNA constructs into a solid tumour has to be critically re-evaluated. Smaller tumours and continuous DNA application should be the matter of following investigations.

description: InGaP-GaAs Single Heterojunction Bipolar Tran-sistors (SHBTs) with a compositionally graded base have been successfully grown by Solid-Source Molecular Beam Epitaxy (SSMBE) using a GaP decomposition source. The device char-acteristics of InGaP-GaAs HBTs with InX Ga1 −X As graded base x :0卣慲潮 →0.1 (MBE 1462) and x :0卣慲潮 →0.05 (MBE 1463) have been compared with conventional HBTs (MBE 1461) to investigate the optimum-grading profile. Additionally the effects of Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) on Beryllium (Be)-doped InX Ga1 −X As graded base layer lattice matched to GaAs have been investigated at different annealing temperatures. The average current gains of MBE 1461, MBE 1462, and MBE 1463 are 174, 342 and 321, respectively prior to annealing. It was founded that all the devices had no significant degrading Be out-diffusion in the base region up to annealing temperatures of 450 o C .To thebestofourknowledge, these average currents are the highest value ever reported in InGaP-GaAs HBTs with a compositionally grad    ase and establish a new benchmark for high gain InGaP-GaAs HBTs.

description: Abstract

This research examines the adoption of smart financing technology in the MSMEs sector of Barru Regency, highlighting the factors that influence adoption and the barriers faced, and evaluates the implementation of smart financing for MSMEs in Barru Regency, highlighting the challenges of access to financing and opportunities for financial technology adoption. Using mixed methods, data was collected through surveys and interviews with 310 respondents to understand the perceptions, benefits, and barriers to using smart financing. Using the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (Rogers) approach, this research evaluated five main factors: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. The results showed that the majority of MSMEs recognized the benefits of smart financing in improving efficiency and access to capital (mean = 3.95). However, the main challenges include the complexity of use (mean = 3.99) and the need for digital education (mean = 3.80). Key enabler factors include easy access to capital, government regulations, and social influence from other MSMEs that have successfully used them. There are some significant barriers, such as concerns over data security, high service costs, and limited digital infrastructure. To increase the adoption of smart financing, collaboration between the government, fintech providers, and MSMEs is needed through financial education and strengthening data security regulations. With the right strategy, smart financing has the potential to be an innovative solution for supporting the growth and competitiveness of MSMEs in the digital era.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Since 1986, physico-chemical and chlorophyll 'a' data are obtained by means of CTD profiles and bottle samples at an offshore station located in the southeastern Bay of Biscay (43º 27’ N, 1º 55’ W). The station is considered to be non-impacted by anthropogenic influence due to its distance (13.1 km) from the main pollution sources in land, which makes it suitable for exploring the response of phytoplankton to oceanometeorological forcing.

description: We introduce a method that can orthogonalize any pure continuous variable quantum state, i.e. generate a state $|ψ_\perp>$ from $|ψ>$ where $ = 0$, which does not require significant a priori knowledge of the input state. We illustrate how to achieve orthogonalization using the Jaynes-Cummings or beam-splitter interaction, which permits realization in a number of systems. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to orthogonalize the motional state of a mechanical oscillator in a cavity optomechanics context by developing a set of coherent phonon level operations. As the mechanical oscillator is a stationary system such operations can be performed at multiple times, providing considerable versatility for quantum state engineering applications. Utilizing this, we additionally introduce a method how to transform any known pure state into any desired target state.

description: We study the time evolution of the Hubbard model driven by a half-cycle or monocycle pulsed electric field F(t) using the nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory. We find that for properly chosen pulse shapes the electron-electron interaction can be effectively and permanently switched from repulsive to attractive if there is no energy dissipation. The physics behind the interaction conversion is a nonadiabatic shift $δ$ of the population in momentum space. When $δ\simπ$, the shifted population relaxes to a negative-temperature state, which leads to the interaction switching. Due to electron correlation effects $δ$ deviates from the dynamical phase $ϕ=\int dt F(t)$, which enables the seemingly counterintuitive repulsion-to-attraction transition by a monocycle pulse with $ϕ=0$.

description: We compare lattice data for the short-distance part of the static energy in 2+1 flavor quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with perturbative calculations, up to next-to-next-to-next-to leading-logarithmic accuracy. We show that perturbation theory describes very well the lattice data at short distances, and exploit this fact to obtain a determination of the product of the lattice scale r_0 with the QCD scale Lambda_{MS}. With the input of the value of r_0, this provides a determination of the strong coupling alpha_s at the typical distance scale of the lattice data. We obtain alpha_s(1.5 GeV)=0.326\pm0.019, which provides a novel determination of alpha_s at low energy and with three-loop accuracy (including resummation of the leading ultrasoft logarithms). When this value is evolved to the Z-mass scale M_Z, it corresponds to alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1156^{+0.0021}_{-0.0022}.

description: We explore a class of effective field theory models of cosmic acceleration involving a metric and a single scalar field. These models can be obtained by starting with a set of ultralight pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons whose couplings to matter satisfy the weak equivalence principle, assuming that one boson is lighter than all the others, and integrating out the heavier fields. The result is a quintessence model with matter coupling, together with a series of correction terms in the action in a covariant derivative expansion, with specific scalings for the coefficients. After eliminating higher derivative terms and exploiting the field redefinition freedom, we show that the resulting theory contains nine independent free functions of the scalar field when truncated at four derivatives. This is in contrast to the four free functions found in similar theories of single-field inflation, where matter is not present. We discuss several different representations of the theory that can be obtained using the field redefinition freedom. For perturbations to the quintessence field today on subhorizon lengthscales larger than the Compton wavelength of the heavy fields, the theory is weakly coupled and natural in the sense of t'Hooft. The theory admits a regime where the perturbations become modestly nonlinear, but very strong nonlinearities lie outside its domain of validity.

description: Walter Jakob Gehring was one of the most influential developmental biologists of the last 50 years. First as a student with Professor Ernst Hadorn in Zurich, later as a postdoc in Yale and finally as group leader in Basel, he was involved in a number of major discoveries that had a profound impact in the understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of animal development, not only for the fruit fly Drosophila but for the whole animal kingdom.Throughout his career Gehring demonstrated an outstanding ability to recognize key problems and then to push experimental work on these problems with great energy. Gehring pioneered the application of molecular techniques to developmental problems, an approach that was at the root of many of his contributions. His laboratory was involved in a number of key findings: the first cloning of a Hox gene, the discovery of the homeobox, the enhancer trap method, and the remarkable conservation of features of the visual system in metazoans.He was an excellent speaker, with special ability to emphasize the relevant aspects of his work and to draw conclusions of general interest. This attracted a number of gifted students and postdocs who were key for the success of his research group.Passionately interested in science, he was also very excited about other scientific disciplines; he was an accomplished bird watcher and was also fascinated by marine life. But he also had non-scientific interests, too; he claimed to be an excellent football player and frequently commented that he had had to decide whether to be a scientist or a professional footballer. He decided on the former, but one wonders if he might have been a Swiss version of Messi or Ronaldo.

Spezifität und Sensitivität liegen bei 0,24 (95% CI 0,14 – 0,37) und 0,97 (95% CI 0,94 – 0,99). Positiver und negativer prädiktiver Wert betragen 0,85 (95% CI 0,80 – 0,88) und 0,65 (95% CI 0,43 – 0,84). Die Sensitivität der SB/VB ist hervorragend. Die niedrige Spezifität lässt sich durch Unterrepräsentation richtig-negativer Befunde begründen, da bei Ergebnissen der B-Kategorie B1-B2 in der Regel keine Operation erfolgt. Eine Nachbeobachtungstudie, für die bereits Mittel genehmigt wurden, wird hoffentlich validere Aussagen ermöglichen.
description: Aim oft this dissertation - which formed part of the Diagnosis Optimisation Study (DIOS) - was the validation of the histopathological results of core needle biopsies (CNB) and vacuum biopsies (VB) of the female breast through use of the B-category. The study compared breast tissue of 976 core needle biopsy / vacuum biopsy CNB/VB done at the university hospital of Halle between April 2006 and July 2008 and 326 surgeries. B-category results of B1-B2 were classified as negative test results, B3-B5 as positive. Observed agreement of the B-category was 0.78 (95% CI 0.73 - 0.82), weighted Kappa was 0.62 (95% CI 0.54 - 0.69). The specificity and sensitivity of CNB were 0.24 (95% CI 0.14 - 0.37) and 0.97 (95% CI 0.94 - 0.99), respectively. The positive and negative predictive value were 0.85 (95% CI 0.80 - 0.88) and 0.65 (95% CI 0.43 - 0.84), respectively. CNB/VB has a very high sensitivity. Poor results of specificity in this study are likely caused by underrepresentation of right-negative test results, because women with a CNB of B-category B1-B2 rarely undergo surgery. A follow-up study, which is still in progress, might give more evident results.
The experience of cultural transition among adolescent newcomers
Creators: name: Naraghi, Negin Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The purpose of this research was to contribute to the literature on migration during adolescence by exploring the phenomenon of cultural transition as experienced by newcomer youth in Canada. The study employed a descriptive phenomenological research approach to answer the following question: “How do adolescents who immigrate or seek refuge in a new country experience cultural transition?” Interviews were conducted with ten adolescent newcomers, ages 15-17, who had migrated to Canada during their adolescent years. Participants represented six different countries of origin, and resided in both Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Using Giorgi’s (2009) psychological phenomenological method, data analysis uncovered eight major structures that captured participants’ experience of cultural transition. These structures included: (a) Pre-migration Experiences/ “I was excited”; (b) Post-migration Impressions/ “A totally new environment”; (c) Education/ “I’m always in school”; (d) Friendships “Friends is such an important part”; (e) Family/ “Changing makes you come closer”; (f) Language/ “Sometimes I don’t want to say anything”; (g) Internal Experiences/ “I wanted to leave” and (h) Cultural Identity/ “A bit of everything”. This study contributes to a greater understanding of the ways in which adolescents in Canada experience cultural transition, and sheds light on factors that are both challenging and supportive to their integration. Recommendations for further research are made, as well as specific recommendations for counsellors working with newcomer youth and their families.

description: A direct reconstruction algorithm for complex conductivities in $W^{2,\infty}(Ω)$, where $Ω$ is a bounded, simply connected Lipschitz domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$, is presented. The framework is based on the uniqueness proof by Francini [Inverse Problems 20 2000], but equations relating the Dirichlet-to-Neumann to the scattering transform and the exponentially growing solutions are not present in that work, and are derived here. The algorithm constitutes the first D-bar method for the reconstruction of conductivities and permittivities in two dimensions. Reconstructions of numerically simulated chest phantoms with discontinuities at the organ boundaries are included.

description: Emerging RF systems which incorporate active phased array antenna subsystems demand major improvements in the microwave packaging and antenna interconnect technology used for the transmit/receive (T/R) modules.For active phased arrays to be viable,T/R module designs will need to be lower cost,lighter weight,and more producible as well as easily integrated into the antenna.The T/R interconnect technology presented herein provides for a new approach in both module and array design.Brazed with conventional braze materials, subminiature, blindmate RF connectors are attached to conventional cofired alumina and low temperature ceramic materials.This technology also addresses stringent reliability and maintainability as well as electrical requirements.The result is a packaging and interconnect technology that reduces life cycle cost and achieves improved performance from previous designs and reduces antenna assembly issues.Also discussed,is the incorporation of this interconnect technology to T/R modules into both a p nar and conventional phased array antennas.In both cases,the individual T/R modules are ‘plugged ’ into the array allowing for easy maintenance of the array.

description: Active device modelling and statistical description of the device behaviour are two key aspects in the design of high-yield integrated circuits.A new empirical approach is here proposed which is capable of describing the effects of process parameter variations on the electron device electrical response by means of only a few statistical parameters.The model can be easily identified on the basis of conventional electrical measurements.Preliminary validation results from experimental data,simulations using the Trew analytical model and simulations of a modified Curtice model are provided in the paper.
Walter Gehring – Personal Reminiscences from WALTER JAKOB GEHRING. 20 March 1939—29 May 2014

description: Walter Jakob Gehring was one of the most influential developmental biologists of the last 50 years. First as a student with Professor Ernst Hadorn in Zurich, later as a postdoc in Yale and finally as group leader in Basel, he was involved in a number of major discoveries that had a profound impact in the understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of animal development, not only for the fruit fly Drosophila but for the whole animal kingdom.Throughout his career Gehring demonstrated an outstanding ability to recognize key problems and then to push experimental work on these problems with great energy. Gehring pioneered the application of molecular techniques to developmental problems, an approach that was at the root of many of his contributions. His laboratory was involved in a number of key findings: the first cloning of a Hox gene, the discovery of the homeobox, the enhancer trap method, and the remarkable conservation of features of the visual system in metazoans.He was an excellent speaker, with special ability to emphasize the relevant aspects of his work and to draw conclusions of general interest. This attracted a number of gifted students and postdocs who were key for the success of his research group.Passionately interested in science, he was also very excited about other scientific disciplines; he was an accomplished bird watcher and was also fascinated by marine life. But he also had non-scientific interests, too; he claimed to be an excellent football player and frequently commented that he had had to decide whether to be a scientist or a professional footballer. He decided on the former, but one wonders if he might have been a Swiss version of Messi or Ronaldo.

description: The cannonball (CB) model of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) predicts that the asymptotic behaviour of the spectral energy density of the X-ray afterglow of GRBs is a power-law in time and in frequency where the difference between the temporal and spectral power-law indexes, $α_X-β_X$, is restricted to the values 0, 1/2 and 1. Here we report the distributions of the values $α_X$, $β_X$ and their difference for a sample of 315 Swift GRBs. This sample includes all Swift GRBs that were detected before August 1, 2012, whose X-ray afterglow extended well beyond 1 day and the estimated error in $α_X-β_X$ was $\leq 0.25$. The values of $α_X$ were extracted from the CB model fits to the entire light curves of their X-ray afterglow while the spectral index was extracted by the Swift team from the time integrated X-ray afterglow of these GRBs. We found that the distribution of the difference $α_X-β_X$ for these 315 Swift GRBs has three narrow peaks around 0, 1/2 and 1 whose widths are consistent with being due to the measurement errors, in agreement with the CB model prediction.

description: We show that Golod-Shafarevich algebras can be homomorphically mapped onto infinite-dimensional algebras with polynomial growth, under mild assumptions of the number of relations of given degrees. In case these algebras are finitely presented, we show they can be mapped onto an infinite dimensional algebras with quadratic growth. This answers a guestion by Zelmanov. We then show, by an elementary construction, that any sufficiently regular function at least $n^{\log n}$ may occur as the growth of an algebra.
Gamma-ray burst afterglow broadband fitting based directly on hydrodynamics simulations

description: We present a powerful new tool for fitting broadband gamma-ray burst afterglow data, which can be used to determine the burst explosion parameters and the synchrotron radiation parameters. By making use of scale invariance between relativistic jets of different energies and different circumburst medium densities, and by capturing the output of high-resolution two-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamical (RHD) jet simulations in a concise summary, the jet dynamics are generated quickly. Our method calculates the full light curves and spectra using linear radiative transfer sufficiently fast to allow for a direct iterative fit of RHD simulations to the data. The fit properly accounts for jet features that so far have not been successfully modeled analytically, such as jet decollimation, inhomogeneity along the shock front and the transitory phase between the early time relativistic and late time non-relativistic outflow. As a first application of the model we simultaneously fit the radio, X-ray and optical data of GRB 990510. We not only find noticeable differences between our findings for the explosion and radiation parameters and those of earlier authors, but also an improved model fit when we include the observer angle in the data fit. The fit method will be made freely available on request and on-line at http://cosmo.nyu.edu/afterglowlibrary. In addition to data fitting, the software tools can also be used to quickly generate a light curve or spectrum for arbitrary observer position, jet and radiation parameters.
