ANALISA TEGANGAN PADA SAMBUNGAN MODEL PIANO PADA SAYAP PESAWAT STRUKTUR KOMPOSIT

Salah Satu masalah yang dihadapi struktur komposit adalah masalah sambungan dan kemudahannya dalam assembly. Hal ini terutama masalah sambungan antara outer dan inner wing. Salah satu model sambungan yang dipakai dalam sambungan piano ( piano joint ) seperti yang dipakai oleh pesawat CN-235. karena itu dalam Penelitian ini akan diteliti model sambungan piano pada struktur komposit. Motode yang digunakan adalah motode elemen hingga dengan bantuan Program MSC Nastran /Partran yang didukung dengan beberapa percobaan. Material komposit belum dapat dinyatakan gagal sekalipun salah satu lapisan serat penyusunnya telah patah. Kegagalan serat menunjukan bahwa pada material telah mendapat suatu kerusakan tertentu. Kegagalan salah satu lapisan serat akan menurunkan material dalam menahan beban akan mengakibatkan semakin banyaknya jumlah lapisan serat yang patah. Material komposit akan patah total jika semua lapisan serat didalamnya telah patah. Permasalahan selanjutnya adalah menentukan beberapa kriteria kegagalan bahan komposit, ditinjau berdasarkan kegagalan yang terjadi pada masing-masing lapisan serat penyusun material yang bersangkutan.
Animating the mind: an analysis of animation as a representational mode for learning

The relative value of animation as an educational medium depends on a number of factors within the medium itself, the manner in which it is integrated with an overall educational design, and with the levels of expertise possessed by the learner in the subject domain and with the medium. This study began to compare animation with informationally equivalent text and graphic modes of presentation in Chemistry, but in doing so, uncovered the roles of expertise and metacognition in its effective use. An initial pilot comparative study with undergraduate Chemistry students revealed that higher-ability students had preferred text-only instruction and lower-ability students had been drawn to the animated version. The text-based instructional group performed significantly better in a standard post-test than did the graphic or animation groups. Subsequent redistribution of the sample in a main study overcame this bias and no significant difference in student performance could be attributed to the mode of presentation used. Follow-up interviews with both high- and low-ability students, as well as the expert/teachers of the group revealed the cognitive functioning of each group in response to the animated and text-based instruction and suggested ways to improve the use of animation in learning. A range of visual literacy skills and a level of metacognition combined with explicit instruction and practice with the medium are essential for learning from animated instruction.
Task switching and multitask performance.

Research on task switching and dual-task performance has spawned two literatures that have, to a surprising extent, developed independently. This tutorial reviews the principal findings of each tradition and considers how these phenomena may be related. Beginning with Jersild 1927, task-switching studies reveal that when people perform two tasks in succession, with each task requiring different responses to the same set of stimuli, substantial slowing occurs. Recent research suggests that while this slowing can be partially ameliorated by allowing sufficient time between tasks, advance reconfiguration is almost always incomplete. In studies of dual-task performance, stimuli arc presented very close together in time, and subjects attempt concurrently to perform two wholly distinct tasks. A substantial slowing of one or both tasks is usually observed. The most stubborn source of this slowing appears to be queuing of central processing stages, sometimes supplemented by other kinds of interference. This queuing occurs even when the tasks are highly dissimilar and is unlikely to reflect voluntary strategies. A number of possibilities for how task switching and dual-task queuing plight be related are discussed critically, including the possibility that queuing might stem from an inability to maintain two distinct task sets at the same time. What happens when people try to switch rapidly between one task and another? What happens when they try to do more than one task at the same time? The first of these two fundamental questions is chiefly discussed in a modest-sized literature under the label "task switching" or "mental set"; the second, in a much larger literature under the label "divided attention" or "dual-task performance. " The present chapter reviews main phenomena and theoretical issues in both areas and tries to draw some substantive connections between them.

Emotionale Belastungen bei Berufsmusikern und ihre Folgen

Berufsmusiker, insbesondere wenn sie in Orchestern musizieren, die klassische Musik auffuhren, reprasentieren eine besondere Berufsgruppe. Um ein beim Publikum und den Kollegen akzeptiertes Mindestmas an Spielleistung zu erzielen, mussen sie ihr Talent durch ein erhebliches Mas an Training ausformen. Des Weiteren ist ihr Spiel unausweichlich einer standigen Uberprufung unterworfen. Aus diesem Grunde scheinen Berufsmusiker bemerkenswert haufig unter Versagensangsten, Stress und Perfektionismus zu leiden. Diese emotionalen Zustande und Einstellungen werden heutzutage als Triggerfaktoren und/oder als Modulatoren von typischen Musikererkrankungen aufgefasst. Im Rahmen dieser Uberblicksarbeit werden vor dem Hintergrund der enormen Trainingsanforderungen, welche an Berufsmusiker gestellt werden, die aus diesen defizitaren emotionalen Zustanden und Einstellungen entstehenden chronifizierten Schmerzen des Bewegungsapparates und die fokalen Dystonien beschrieben. Beiden Storungsformen ist gemein, dass sie einem ah.
Spatial Hypermedia for the Visually Impaired

hypermedia is particularly apt for serving visually impaired users as its ability to recognize spatial arrangements and relationships enables it to interpret and convey the information implicit in the document layout. This structural information is critical for understanding the document organization and greatly facilitates the navigation of Web pages. AudibleSpace investigates how to create Accessible Spatial Hypermedia Systems that better support visually impaired users. The project's goals are to: 1) show that visually impaired users can use spatial hypermedia; 2) show that spatial hypermedia enhances assistive technology, conveying more information about the document organization and providing a navigation experience similar to that of sighted users.
Quantitative Analysis of Symbolic Execution (Extended Abstract)

The correctness of programs has always been a concern for software engineers. A typical engineer tests a program by running it with a few test cases. If the results are as expected, the program is usually “thought” to be correct, unless bugs emerge later. A more responsible engineer will check if the tests satisfy certain criteria, e.g., if every statement is executed. But even if such criteria are met, we are still not so confident about the program’s correctness. A more strict criterion is examining every path. In general, a program has many (or an infinite number of) execution paths. For most programs, it is impossible to exercise all the paths. Thus the concept of “basis paths” was proposed. Such paths are supposed to be representatives of the set of all paths. However, the concept is purely syntactic. The definition is based solely on the control flow graph. There is no good algorithm to generate executable basis paths. In contrast to testing, one may try to verify the correctness of the program. This usually requires much human effort, except for certain kinds of programs. The programmer should have expertise in mathematics and logic. For example, Knuth used some kind of verification techniques when developing TeX. But for most people, verification is still very difficult. A more automatic approach to (partial) verification and testing is symbolic execution, i.e., executing the program by initializing variables with symbolic (rather than concrete) values. Most previous works in this area focus on how to perform symbolic execution efficiently on various kinds of programs. But here we raise the following questions: Can we say that one path is better than another? How much confidence can we gain when exploring more and more paths? We propose to rate each path by quantifying the amount of input data it represents, i.e., the number of different input vectors which drive the program to be executed along the path.

The use of ontologies in the spatial planning domain

Project was supported by the National Science Centre according to the DEC-2011/03/N/HS4/03819 decision . Partially works were conducted under the project N N526 358139. Final products, which are spatial development plans are heterogenous (data and semantic heterogeneity). There are no standards structure and form of spatial plans and methods of their preparing are not unified. Some local standards exist, but they differ from each other. It is difficult to standardize plans because of their structure – a map and the associated textual description.
Trattamento anti-VEGF con Ranibizumab intravitreale nella degenerazione maculare legata all’età: verifica dell’efficacia sulla neovascolarizzazione sottoretinica

La degenerazione maculare legata all’eta (DMLE) e la malattia retinica progressiva che costituisce la principale causa di cecita legale nei soggetti anziani residenti nei paesi occidentali. L’evoluzione piu frequente e rappresentata dalla forma essudativa o umida, caratterizzata dallo sviluppo di neovasi sottoretinici. Da alcuni anni e disponibile un trattamento specifico con farmaci anti-VEGF (Ranibizumab, Pegaptanib, Bevacizumab off-label) somministrati tramite iniezioni intravitreali. In Italia la loro somministrazione a carico del SSN e disciplinata da una specifica normativa AIFA che dispone il monitoraggio intensivo previsto per i farmaci ad alto costo con limitazioni nella indicazione. Utilizzando i parametri clinici richiesti e immessi nel database AIFA (visus >2/10, spessore retinico misurato mediante OCT, varie caratteristiche agiografiche, pressione intraoculare) e stato strutturato uno studio osservazionale di buona pratica clinica per verificare l’effetto della terapia nei diversi sottogruppi in cui puo presentarsi la DMLE umida o essudativa (membrana neovascolare, vasculopatia polipoide, angiomatosi retinica) limitatamente alla fase di attacco prescritta per Ranibizumab (3 iniezioni mensili con rivalutazione 1 mese dopo l’ultima). Da Novembre 2009 ad Aprile 2011 sono stati trattati con Ranibizumab 56 occhi di 56 pazienti affetti da DMLE essudativa. Dalla elaborazione statistica dei dati raccolti e emerso che Ranibizumab ha determinato un incremento dell’acuita visiva media parallelamente alla riduzione dello spessore retinico centrale e dell’area della lesione. I casi con acuita visiva all’ingresso compresa tra 4/10 e 6/10 hanno evidenziato un recupero funzionale maggiore rispetto a quelli con acuita visiva tra 2/10 e 4/10 e tra 7/10 e 8/10. Se si considerano le varianti cliniche della DMLE essudativa la vasculopatia polipoide ha mostrato il miglior recupero visivo dopo trattamento.
Agent and Swarm Views of Cognition in Swarm-Array Computing

The current state of work in 'Swarm-array com- puting' requires the theoretical concepts proposed in the frame- work to be formalised. As a preliminary effort to this end, a recently proposed computational intelligence based hierarchical layered architecture for cognitive agents is mapped onto the intelligent agent based approach of swarm-array computing. The cognitive capabilities of two components of the intelligent agent based approach, namely an agent and a swarm, are considered and the components view of perception, reasoning, judging, response and learning are presented. The layered cognitive architecture maps well onto the microscopic or agent level than on the macroscopic or swarm level of the intelligent agent approach. Keywords-cognitive layered architecture, intelligent agents, swarm-array computing.
Teaching Students To Use Phonics Effectively with Emphasis on Rimes and Onsets.

The teaching of phonics, the relationship of sounds to letters in an alphabetic language like English, is important for success in learning to read competently. Noting that there continues to be much debate as to what constitutes good phonics instruction, this paper presents a rather simple but basically sound and inexpensive approach for teaching phonics. It cites four basic principles and then gives directions for producing a phonics instruction kit. The kit, with accompanying instructional strategies, can provide instructors with a means for fostering the learning of phonics among. readers. Appendixes contain a lesson plan model for fostering the learning of a consonant, and a list of common rimes and key words. (NKA) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. Teaching Students to Use Phonics Effectively with Emphasis on Rimes and Onsets
Link-Based Methods for Web Information Retrieval

Acknowledgements Without the support and patience of my supervisor: Dr. ir. Jaap Kamps, this thesis may well not have materialised. Jaap has taught me many lessons that will stay with me long from now – amongst which is the benefit of perceiving a half empty glass as half full. I owe a debt of gratitude to my employers PricewaterhouseCoopers (in particular Martin Beckwith-Brown and Anthony Faucher) who have supported me through my endeavours above and beyond the call of duty. I dedicate this thesis to my family. In particular, my mother Ruby, father Ebenezer, elder brothers: Prof. dr. Nettey and Mrs. Muriel Amoah who continue to inspire me in life. Abstract Although commercial search engine companies have reported a great deal of success in appropriating link-based methods, these methods have struggled to demonstrate significant performance improvements over content-only retrieval methods in several off-line Web IR evaluations. In this thesis the effectiveness of link-based methods is assessed against content-only retrieval baselines. Algorithms embodying established HITS, in-degree, realised in-degree, and sibling score propagation techniques are evaluated alongside variants of those algorithms. The variant algorithms are devised to aid in three secondary lines of investigation relating to link-based methods: the effects of link randomisation, the utility of sibling relationships and the influence of link densities. All established link-based algorithms are demonstrated to improve on several content-only retrieval baseline performance metrics with the realised in-degree algorithm proving to be particularly effective across all considered metrics. In relation to the other lines of investigation, the experimentation reveals that: leveraging sibling relationships does not lead to significant performance improvements, higher link densities do not afford performance improvements and that algorithms are susceptible to link randomisation.
Kinematische Aspekte beweglicher Lager nach Knieprothesenimplantation-Erfahrungen mit der LCS-Prothese

Muniscallagerprothesen sollten bei juengern und muskelkraeftigen Patienten verwendet werden. Bei Implantation hat die Implantationsgeometrie einen hoeheren Stellenwert. Zwischen rotierender Plattform und beweglichen Muniscallagern konnten 12 Monate postoperativ keine signifikanten Unterschiede gefunden werden. Die rotierende Plattform stellt bei einfacherer Implantationstechnik vergleichbar Gute klinische Resultate sicher. Bei zusaetzlicher ligamentaerer Instabilitaet sollten anterioer- oder posterioer stabilisierte Design-Varianten der Oberflaechenprothese zur Anwendung kommen.

THE DIFFERENCE A TERMINAL DEVICE CAN MAKE

Introduction The manufacturers of electronic components have answered the requests of patients in recent years. Advancements were made with microprocessor-based controllers that allow for easy computerized adjustments, answering the need for increased control of the terminal device. Additionally, batteries have moved to Li-Ion, NiMH, and soon Li-Polymer, answering the request to provide a longer life to the charge, as well as the ability to top-off the charge. Another patient request was to increase the speed of the terminal device. In actuality, what patient wanted was a quicker response from the terminal device as they provided an input signal. An earlier response by the field was to increase the voltage to the terminal device. The higher voltage wasn’t the perfect answer because it was also difficult to operate at slow speeds. The Sensor Hand Speed answered these requests to have a more responsive hand that operates quickly, but also is able to operate very slowly according to the user’s input.
A Large Crawl and Quantitative Analysis of Open Source Projects Hosted on SourceForge

The subject of this work is to demonstrate how some very interesting statistics of open source projects hosted on SourceForge can be retrieved effortlessly and at low-cost. This crawled information later constitutes an ideal input for quantitative analysis of the open source movement in general. We present the full process of our experiment from crawling the data to performing the analysis. This work was started when no such information existed in literature. While performing the crawl, we found out about another project of similar nature, OssMole [2]. We provide the results of this experiment nonetheless because the two projects use different strategies for crawling data. Using OssMole’s data also lets us make some interesting cross-comparisons and derive conclusions about temporal changes going on at SourceForge. 15/01/05, 01:13 , CVS ID: Id: large-crawl-of-sourceforge.tex,v 1.2 2005/01/13 22:27:52 dweiss Exp
Use of Factor Analysis to Develop OOP Software Complexity Metrics

A large number of software metrics have been proposed for measuring the complexity of Object -Oriented programs. These metrics were grouped into system, tree, and class metrics. Factor analysis was applied to each group to obtain a small number (5 or less) of complexity domains by identifying collinear metrics. This reduction in complexity domains should facilitate the validation of the metrics and should provide a better understanding of OOP complexity factors. A side effect of this reduction is a plausible explanation of the controversy about the effectiveness of traditional metrics in measuring OOP complexity. Keywords: Software complexity metrics, object-oriented programming, factor analysis
Self motivated planning in autonomous agents.

A freight container is handled by a crane or carrier by means of a spreader frame engaging with the container. The spreader frame is suspended from the carrier by vertical links which can swivel relative to the carrier and can be easily detached from the spreader frame. Hydraulic jacks move the spreader frame relative to the carrier to align it with the container.
Subspace-based Semantic Concept Detection and Retrieval for Multimedia Information Systems

of a dissertation at the University of Miami. Dissertation supervised by Professor Mei-Ling Shyu No. of pages in text. (170) The prevalence of digital recording devices, the cheap cost of data storage as well as the convenience provided by the widely accessible Internet have created the demand to retrieve information according to users’ requests from multimedia data sources. However, the multimedia information retrieval task has several challenges that need to be addressed, such as bridging the semantic gap, modeling from imbalanced data sets, and utilizing inter-concept relationships to enhance the retrieval performance of an individual concept. To respond to the challenge of bridging the semantic gap, subspace modeling methods are proposed to address this issue as a classification task. The proposed subspace modeling methods construct a principal component (PC) subspace for each class, where the PCs are derived from the instances belonging to that class. The PCs are selected and ranked based on Fisher’s criterion to reduce the searching effort and an iterative searching is utilized to determine the best PC set. Subspace modeling methods are proposed in this dissertation, including multi-class subspace modeling (MSM), binary-class subspace modeling (BSM), and subspace modeling on global and local structures (SMGL). Comparative experiments show that MSM, BSM, and SMGL can outperform some other well-known algorithms on a number of benchmark data sets. To address the data imbalance challenge, two clustering-based subspace modeling methods called clustering-based subspace modeling (CLU-SUMO) and class selection and clusteringbased subspace modeling (CSC-SUMO) are proposed. K-means clustering and/or semantic concept labels are used to partition the majority class (usually the negative class) into several groups, each of which is merged with the minority class (usually the positive class) to form a much more balanced subset of the original data set. Then, the subspace model learned from the original data set is integrated with all the subspace models learned from the balanced subsets to form a classification framework. The experimental results on news and broadcast video data sets support the claim that the proposed CLU-SUMO and CSC-SUMO render better classification performance than some existing techniques that are commonly used to handle the data imbalance
Linear B System Description for the 2005 NIST MT Evaluation Exercise

This document describes Linear B’s entry for the 2005 NIST MT Evaluation exercise. Linear B examined the efficacy of human-aided statistical machine translation by looking at the improvements that could be had by involving non-Arabic speakers in the translation process. We examined two conditions: one in which non-Arabic speakers edited the output of a statistical machine translation system, and one in which they were allowed to select phrasal translations from a chart of possible translations for an Arabic sentence, and then edit the text.
