Mechanical seals are mechanisms that used to prevent fluid leakage. Since the seal surfaces in contact with one another, hydrodynamic and forces functions of surface roughness. Additionally, since lubrication regime under specific operating conditions such as low speed or high load causes operate mixed regime, thus asperities plays an important role. The primary purpose this paper is apply load...

The Kebon Agung sugar factory has two power supplies, namely from the PLTU itself and PLN. There are 3 synchronized generators at Kebun Sugar Factory, with a of 4.5 MW on 1,2 1,6 MVA generator 3. difference in between causes frequent interference because it less power. This Final Project analyzes load sharing shedding using MATLAB Simulink R2013a. Through these simulations is shown division eac...

From the recent improvements in network and peer-to-peer technologies and the ever-growing needs for computer might, new ways of sharing resources between users have emerged. These methods are very diverse, from SETI@HOME which is a way to share the load of analysing the data from space in order to find traces of extraterrestrial life, to NAPSTER and its successors, and to Real-time video-games...

In this paper, we propose a file replication method to achieve load balancing in terms of write access to storage device (“write storage access load balancing” for short) in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks in which the popularity trend of queried files varies dynamically. The proposed method uses a write storage access ratio as a load balance index value in order to stabil...

The sensitivity of tapping task to mental workload was investigated. Thirteen subjects were asked to produce 3 s intervals continuously while performing a time sharing task. The time sharing task was designed to manipulate a demand to allocate an attentional resource to one target and a demand to switch the target to which an attentional resource was mainly allocated. Results showed that produc...

When settling healthcare bills, the Old Order Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania rely on an ethos of mutual aid, independent of the government. Consonant with this philosophy, many Amish do not participate in or receive benefits from Social Security or Medicare. They are also exempted from the Affordable Care Act of 2010. This study expands the limited documentation of Amish Hospital Aid, ...
