In Indonesia, the fund for a project or an activity is usually divided into terms which can be two or three terms. Therefore, in order to optimize the utility, the team of the project need to design the project so that the project can be used as soon as possible without violating the restriction given by the government. The Multi Periods Degree Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree Problem (MPDCMST...

This paper presents ways of approaching the design of successful character-based interactive installations. We rationalize our arguments within the context of both Disney’s “illusion of life” and Daniel Dennett’s “intentional stance”. We present six perspectives from which intentional characters can be viewed: as interactors on a variety of time scales; as reciprocal interactors with each other...

Mechanical seals are the most common means of sealing industrial centrifugal pumps. There are a wide variety of seal options including the use of single or dual seal arrangements. While dual seals provide benefits in leakage containment and monitoring, single seals continue to be widely used due to their lower cost and simpler designs. Newer piping plans however offer options to increase leakag...

We are artists working on the creation of interactive computer installations that combine interactive graphic generation with state-of-the-art interface design. When creating our interactive systems we often invent new technologies and interfaces that fit the conceptual content of the particular interactive installation. While our main focus is to design interactive systems for the art context ...

Hydroponic green forage (HGF) is a high-quality ecological product containing full range of required nutrients and vitamins. A two-tier hydroponic installation with rigid load-bearing elements has been developed at Kuban State Agrarian University named after I. T. Trubilin. The purpose the research to determine strength mass complex ratios that ensure stable dynamics movement all system during ...

During 1992, ovitrapping to sample populations of container-breeding Aedes was conducted at 28 U.S. Air Force installations in North America. Aedes albopictus was collected at 19 installations. The collections of Ae. albopictus at Goodfellow Air Force base (AFB), TX, and Moody AFB, GA, represent new records for Tom Green and Lowndes counties, respectively. Six installations were positive for Ae...

This paper presents a structured literature review on interaction design for social contexts in public spaces, especially the research on designing for public interactive facilities, such as public displays, interactive installations and media façades, aiming to gain a holistic understanding on current research. A framework is also introduced to help summarize current research focuses, consider...

The rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the move towards more knowledge-intensive, interdependent and internationalized societies created new challenges and opportunities for the design and delivery of education. This evolution also influenced the educational branches of life long training, continuing vocational training and distance training. This paper p...

The aim of this paper was to design and develop a software application that enables users to perform an automated analysis of data from the monitoring of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. This application integrates data from all devices already in operation such as environmental sensors, inverters and meters, which record information on typical PV installations. This required the devel...
