Abstract This paper examines the problems in relocating street vendors religious tourism area of Menara Kudus. The relocation does improve visual quality and environment region, but it becomes a problem for vendors, especially decline consumers, revenue return to original location. Using qualitative methodology, this study more deeply through depth interview analysis with vendors. results showe...

With growing concerns about global energy demand and climate change, it is important to focus on efficient utilization of electricity in commercial buildings, which contribute significantly to the overall electricity consumption. Accordingly, there has been a number of Building Energy Management (BEM) software/hardware solutions to monitor energy consumption and other measurements of individual...

TABLE 1 Requirement for Mobility Range of Mobility Traverse from landing site to target of interest Size of landing error ellipse (~50 km) with current entry technology Examine a specific science target 1–10 m (assuming the target is small) Traverse from study target to study target 10–100 m (depends on spacing of targets) Examine several different geologic processes 100’s of m to few km (depen...

A long duration robotic presence on lunar and planetary surfaces will allow the acquisition of scientifically interesting information from a diverse set of surface and sub-surface sites. The wide range of terrain types including plains, cliffs, sand dunes, and lava tubes will require the development of robotic systems that can adapt to possibly rapidly changing terrain. These systems include si...

Intercellular adhesion is assumed to play an important role in a multitude of biological phenomena governing cellular behavior. The rate of intercellular adhesion as a function of the cell cycle traverse has been investigated using, in the monolayer assay, synchronized Chinese Hamster Ovary-K1 cells. Results obtained demonstrate that cells in G1 adhere to G1 cells at twice the rate that S cells...

Introduction: Recent lunar missions provide the planetary science community with vast amounts of new data enabling important insights into the geology and evolution of the Moon on a global scale. Remotely sensed observations of the polar regions reveal the location of persistently illuminated regions and evidence for volatiles captured in cold traps [1-5]. In-situ resource utilization (ISRU) of...

The successful implementation of machine learning in autonomous rover traverse science requires addressing challenges that range from the analytical technical realm, to the fuzzy, philosophical domain of entrenched belief systems within scientists and mission managers. These challenges are many. They include helping scientists understand the benefits and risks of using machine learning onboard ...

Multicellular aggregates of circulating tumor cells (CTC clusters) are potent initiators of distant organ metastasis. However, it is currently assumed that CTC clusters are too large to pass through narrow vessels to reach these organs. Here, we present evidence that challenges this assumption through the use of microfluidic devices designed to mimic human capillary constrictions and CTC cluste...

OBJECTIVE Stents are widely used in coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms, but on occasion, a microcatheter must traverse a stented segment of artery (so-called trans-cell technique) to select an aneurysm, or double stenting may necessary. In such situations, microguidewire passage and microcatheter delivery through a tortuous stented parent artery may pose a technical challenge. Describe...
