Perencanaan Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN) Dengan Menggunakan Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX)

WLAN adalah sebuah jaringan berbasis wireless yang dapat digunakan untuk transmisi data. Namun coverage area yang luas dan data rate yang tinggi menjadi kendala utama dalam pemberian layanannya. Untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut, dibutuhkan suatu perencanaan jaringan yang lebih baik untuk mendapatkan coverage area yang luas serta mempunyai data rate yang tinggi. Agar didapatkan jaringan WMAN yang baik, maka dibutuhkan suatu backbone jaringan yang handal. Teknologi WiMAX hadir untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut. Dalam perencanaan ini digunakan kota Malang sebagai obyek perencanaan. Data yang digunakan dalam perencanaan ini meliputi data kependudukan kota Malang, trafik internet dan tabel Erlang. Data tersebut akan digunakan untuk mengetahui perkiraan jumlah pelanggan WiMAX dan kapasitas sistem yang dibutuhkan. Langkah awal yang dilakukan dalam perencanaan adalah menentukan perkiraan jumlah pelanggan yang akan menggunakan layanan WiMAX berdasarkan data kependudukan. Jumlah pelanggan tersebut digunakanuntuk menentukan kebutuhan kapasitas kanal yang akan berfungsi untuk mengetahui radius sel yang dapat dilayani oleh sebuah base station (BS). Jenis antena dan kabel yang digunakan diperhitungkan berdasarkan kebutuhan kapasitas kanal dan kondisi geografi daerah perencanaan. Berdasarkan perhitungan yang dilakukan diperoleh jumlah pelanggan WiMAX adalah 7231 pelanggan dengan kebutuhan kanal mencapai 495 kanal. Radius sel yangterbentuk dari perencanaan ini adalah 2.65 km denganluas sel mencapai 18,25 , sehingga jumlah sel yang dibutuhkan adalah 6 (enam) buah. Untuk melayani kapasitas pelanggan yang cukup besar, maka kabel yang paling tepat digunakan adalah fiber optic single mode, sedangkan antena yang tepat digunakan adalah antena omnidirectional.

INVOLVING OLDER PEOPLE IN THE DESIGN OF AN INNOVATIVE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES SYSTEM PROMOTING ACTIVE AGING: THE SAAPHO PROJECT

Active Ageing refers to the optimization process in health, social engagement, and security opportunities as people age. The demand to introduce technology to improve older people’s quality of life is progressively increasing. SAAPHO project, a project based on this framework, is described in this article. The objective of the SAAPHO project is to support Active Aging by assisting older people to participate in society preserving their independence and dignity through the application of innovative ICT-based solutions. This three-year project aims to develop a system focused on boosting accessibility to a diverse number of health, participation and security services by means of easy-to-use and easy-to-configure interfaces. Involving older people through participatory design enhances product´s usability and accessibility. Thus, in order to design the system, and reach end user‘s needs and preferences, questionnaires and focus groups were run in Spain and Slovenia, the two pilot testing sites, during the product design early stages. After completing the first year prototype, controlled sessions, using the SAAPHO platform, were performed with older people in both countries to study its usability. Hence, this article presents the general results of older people participation in the design of SAAPHO system after completing the first year prototype. The ultimate goal of SAAPHO is to create a usable system that covers the health, safety and social needs of end-users taking into account their preferences in the design of the behaviour and architecture of the system.

Presence 2010: The emergence of ambient intelligence

In the last five years we have seen significant advances in three promising technology areas: virtual environments, in which 3D displays and interaction devices immerse the user in a synthesized world, mobile communication and sensors, in which increasingly small and inexpensive terminals and wireless networking allow users to roam the real world without being tethered to stationary machines. The merging of these areas allows the emergence of a new vision: the Ambient Intelligence (AmI), a pervasive and unobtrusive intelligence in the surrounding environment supporting the activities and interactions of the users. The most ambitious expression of AmI is the Mobile Mixed Reality: the enhancement of information of a mobile user about a real scene through the embedding of one or more objects (3D, images, videos, text, computer graphics, sound, etc) within his/her sensorial field. Within this vision, the concept of presence evolves, too. The sense of "being there" covers only the simulation and immersive sides of the sense of presence. To be "present" in the augmented context offered by the AmI, the user has to be aware of its meaning and accept its hybridity. Only "making sense there", the user experiences a full sense of presence.
Control of wind turbines with 'Smart' rotors : Proof of concept & LPV subspace identification

Active control is becoming more and more important for the wind energy community. If we compare the 'old' stall regulated turbines with today's individual pitch controlled turbines we see that the loads can be considerably reduced, leading to lighter or larger turbines. However, limited actuator bandwidth and component fatigue impose significant constraints on the pitch system. Furthermore, with the trend to go offshore it is of interest to increase the rotor diameter as much as possible because the foundation costs of offshore wind turbines amount to a large part of the total costs. Due to the increasing size of wind turbines and the limitations of individual pitch control, it is thus necessary to look ahead to new control concepts which can impose a force profile matching the distributed nature of turbulence, and guarantee an economic lifetime of 20 years for the next generation of offshore wind turbines (diameter over 150 meters). In this thesis we perform a feasibility test of a novel concept and we develop experimental modeling tools to obtain Linear Parameter Varying models for controller design.
The Pecularities of Fine Particles Dispersion over the Roadside

A physical model of ground-level mathematical distribution was developed for determining pollutant dispersion peculiarities on freeways. Correlation of Lithuanian and foreign studies of ultrafine particles and transition metal measurements data was used for model reasoning. It was defined that the deposition rate of fine particles and aerosols, which are transporting metals, is the same: approximately 2 cm/sec within 60 m of the road. This means that ultrafine particles due to the moisture, precipitation, wind, and coagulation in the natural geographic environment, have about 100 times higher deposition rate than expected based on their diameter. Considering the peculiarities of the model applied, pollutant concentration above the ground surface in the aforementioned distance from the road could be decreased by the same means as in the vicinity of the freeway: planting high impervious belts of trees and bushes.
Metrological attributes of current transformers in electrical energy meters

Instrument current and voltage transformers remain the basic apparatus used in measurements of energy in electri- cal grid. Increasing importance of distributed energy sources necessitates more precise measurements of consumed as well as generated electrical energy. Both types occur in low voltage network where the main focus is on current transformers for electronic-type electrical energy meters. These current transformers should fulfil many requirements for precise electri- cal energy measurements. This paper presents a modern system for measurement of various metrological features of current transformers.
BIOMECHANICAL PROFILE OF SOCCER GOALKEEPERS

Although the soccer goalkeeper often plays a decisive role in the outcome of a match, research on the goalkeeper’s actions or the qualities required of a top class goalkeeper is scarce. With this study we attempted to define a biomechanical profile of the goalkeeper. We tested whether the skill level of 6 goalkeepers, determined by the league they played in, correlated with a number of biomechanical tests. The tests were devised as standardized measurements of typical goalkeeper actions; they comprised various jumps, a short sprint and a leg strength measurement. We found no correlation between the goalkeepers’ skill level and their score in any of the tests. Thus, with reservation for the limited number of subjects, we conclude that the measured biomechanical parameters are of minor importance compared to skills as tactical understanding, perception and anticipation.
Examining Construction Quality Supervision and Organization Procedures for BOT Projects by Comparing with DBB Projects

Adopting the BOT (build-operate-transfer) delivery method has brought opportunities and challenges in construction time and quality for urban infrastructure. Many studies investigate the upstream issues of BOT projects such as concessionaire selection criteria and risk factors. But the project execution becomes complicated such as the escalated quality supervision organization and procedure at the construction stage. This extra supervision may have constituted hidden redundancies as waste to economic sustainability. This paper investigated construction quality supervision of BOT projects to pinpoint adequate degree of supervision and detect redundant organization and procedures. The study adopted ten subway construction projects as cases in which five were from the traditional design-bid-build (DBB) and five from the BOT methods. Thirty six project participants including owners, contractors, designers, and concessionaire managers of the ten projects were interviewed to tell their views on these issues. The quality supervision measures of the DBB projects were used as the baseline and compared with those of the BOT projects. The research results show that the construction quality seems no difference for the DBB and BOT projects. Construction quality comes out of supervision but excessive supervision organization and procedures do not necessarily improve quality. This finding indicates that adequate degree of supervision is enough to achieve required quality to save immense paperwork for large construction projects.
On domains and domain engineering : prerequisites for trustworthy software, a necessity for believable project management

• Automotive engineers have their application science include those of mechanics and of thermodynamics and be otherwise based on applied mathematics. • Mobile phone engineers have their application science include those of electromagnetic field theory and of electronics and be otherwise based on applied mathematics. • Application software engineers, till now, have only had their professionalism be “otherwise” based on computer science. There has, effectively speaking, not been an appropriate set of application sciences, one for each domain of software applications. • Domain engineering, applied to application areas such as administrative forms processing (i.e., documents), air traffic, financial service systems, health care, manufaccturing, “the market” (including digital rights management), transportation, etc., raises the specter of there now emerging proper software application sciences.
Magnetoelectric effects in laminated multiferroic shells

Two-dimensional equations for laminated multiferroic shells of piezoelectric and piezomagnetic layers are obtained from the exact three-dimensional equations. Mechanically, the two-dimensional equations represent the so-called first-order theory that describes coupled extensional, flexural and thickness-shear motions. The electric and magnetic fields are described layer by layer. The two-dimensional equations obtained are used to study magnetoelectric coupling in a laminated multiferroic circular cylindrical shell. Both static coupling and the frequency dependence of the coupling in time-harmonic motions are examined.

PEMANFAATAN SILASE DAUN UBIKAYU UNTUK PAKAN TERNAK KAMBING

This experiment that was aimed to evaluate the usage of various additives to prepare cassava leaf silage and to study the response of the goat fed with the silage was conducted at the Livestock Research Station in Prodo, Klampok Singosari Malang. This experiment consisted of two periods. The first period was aimed to evaluate the usage of seven additive treatments used for preparing cassava leaf silage, while the second period was aimed to evaluate the response of the goat fed with the cassava leaf silage. Nine male goats aged 3-6 months with an initial body weight of 15,767 ± 2,516 kg each were allotted to 3 treatments with 3 replications in a randomized block design. The goat was fed with chopped elephant grass and three different levels of cassava leaf silage as treatments. During the experiment, daily amount of feed offered and refused, and their samples were taken for proximate analysis of DM, organic matter (OM) and crude protein (CP) content to measure feed intake. The results showed that the different treatments of cassava leaf silage fed on the goats did not significantly affect DM intake, OM intake, CP intake and average daily weight gain
Performance analysis of the CDF wavelet filters in image compression

In image compression methods based on wavelet transform, the biorthogonal filters proposed by Cohen, Daubechies and Feauveau (here referred to as CDF filters) have been widely used. In this paper the operator matrix of the wavelet transform with CDF filters is constructed by the lifting scheme implementation of wavelet transforms. The general representation of these matrices is also given. As an application of it, the performance of the CDF filters in image compression is analyzed in a theoretical way compared with other orthogonal transforms such as DFT and DCT.
Logistics service network design : models, algorithms, and applications

Service network design is critical to the profitability of express shipment carriers. In this thesis, we consider two challenging problems associated with designing networks for express shipment service. The first problem is to design an integrated network for premium and deferred services simultaneously. Related existing models adapted to this problem are intractable for realistic instances of this problem: computer memory requirements and solution times are excessive. We introduce a disaggregated information-enhanced column generation approach for this problem that reduces the number of variables to be considered in the integer program from hundreds of thousands to only thousands, allowing us to solve previously unsolvable problem instances. The second problem is to determine the express package service network design in its entirety, including aircraft routings, fleet assignments, and package flow routings, including hub assignments. Existing models applied to this problem have weak associated linear programming bounds and hence, fail to produce quality feasible solutions. For example, for a small network design problem instance it takes days to produce a feasible solution that is provably nearoptimal using the best performing existing model. To overcome these tractability challenges, we introduce a new model, referred to as the gateway cover and flow formulation. Applying our new formulation to the same network design instance, it takes only minutes to find an optimal solution. Applying our disaggregated information-enhanced column generation approach and gateway cover and flow formulation and solution approach to the network design problems of a large express package service provider, we demonstrate tens of millions of dollars in potential annual operating cost savings and reductions in the numbers of aircraft needed to perform the service. Moreover, we illustrate that, though designed for tactical planning, our new model and solution approach can provide insights for strategic decision-making, such as hub opening/closure, hub capacity expansion, and fleet composition and size.

Two Cases of Continued Progression of Chronic Ocular Graft-Versus-host Disease Without Concurrent Systemic Comorbidities Treated by Amniotic Membrane Transplantation.

BackgroundChronic ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) is an ocular comorbidity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that usually occurs concurrently with systemic manifestations. Failure to detect and treat oGVHD in its early stages may lead to progression of ocular signs and symptoms leading to oGVHD that is refractory to conventional treatment. Case presentationWe report the clinical course of a 19-year-old male and a 59-year-old female with severe and progressive chronic oGVHD without concurrent systemic signs of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Although their systemic conditions had been stable, both suffered from severe oGVHD and were referred to our clinic. Both cases exhibited marked improvement in conjunctival inflammation and fibrotic changes after amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT). Both cases underwent keratoplasty eventually to stabilize ocular surface conditions and to improve visual function.Conclusions We reported the clinical outcomes of 2 cases of chronic oGVHD without concurrent systemic comorbidities that were treated with AMT. The clinician should be aware that cGVHD may persist in target organs even in the absence of concurrent systemic comorbidities following seemingly successful systemic treatment. A multidisciplinary team approach is essential in the early detection and therapeutic intervention for chronic oGVHD.
Synthesis of PWM Dc-to-Dc power converters

A novel systematical synthesis method of PWM dc-to-dc converters is established in this thesis. The new method can generate converters in an efficient way, with clear circuit insight. The family of PWM dc-to-dc converters is defined to include converters with multiple-input and/or multiple-output; converters with arbitrary switched networks in each switching period; and converters with loops consisting only of capacitors and possibly a voltage source or cut-sets consisting only of inductors and possibly a current source in the individual switched networks. This method is based on the equivalent ac and dc circuits of a PWM dc-to-dc converter, which consist only of switches in the converter. The first part of the synthesis procedure is carried out without the participation of reactive elements. For a given number of switches and other requirements, the ac topology and its control sequence can be decided. Basic properties of ac and dc circuits are derived. Moreover, the topological relation between an ac circuit and its associated dc circuits is discovered. Based on the volt-second and ampere-second balance equations of the ac circuit and the matrix representation of dc circuits, a formalized dc model in terms of average switch voltages and currents is first developed. Consequently, the dc conversion ratio and switch implementation can be derived for each pair of ac and dc circuits. The associated dc circuits of the given ac circuit can be formally generated and sorted out according to the required dc conversion ratio, the types of switches, the order of the dc circuit, and other properties. The insertion procedure for reactive elements is also formalized. The basic procedure generates the converters with the minimum number of inductors and capacitors. A modification of the basic procedure is given to generate converters with continuous input and output currents. Different classes of converters are generated by the new synthesis approach. A class of three-switch converters are discovered, each of which has a loop of capacitors and possibly the voltage source. Some of these three-switch converters are of special practical interests. Also, a class of three-switch, and two-output converters are discovered that can provide opposite polarity output voltages without using a transformer. Most importantly, this systematic synthesis method provides an analytic and circuit-oriented approach to develop new converter topologies in order to meet new requirements introduced by ever growing number of applications.
