Rattan on frequently attacked by the powder post beetle (Tellu, 2001). The prevention of dry powder attacks is done by preservation. The increasing resistant of rattan from insect attack can be done by an environmentally friendly preservative, the Galam wood vinegar. This research  aims to determine the most effective concentration of preservative that shows the lowest attacks level of D. Farb minutus powder. The rattan used is green rattan (Calamus sp.) The concentration of preservative that are used:10%, 40%, 70% and 100%. The testing of dry powder attack  used force feedback method. The effectiveness test parameters of wood vinegar to dry powder attacks  included degree of protection Dinoderus minutus Farb. powder,  reduction percentage of rattan weight and the mortality of dry powder Dinoderus sp for toxicological testing of wood vinegar. The test results showed that the degree of protection powder in rattan growing along with the increased concentration of preservatives. The higher the concentration of  wood vinegar, the smaller the reduction of rattan weight and the higher the mortality rate of dry powder. Keywords: resistant of rattan, wood vinegar, Dinoderus minutus.

A catalog is a register of all bibliographic items found in a library. A bibliographic item can be any information entity. The library catalog has evolved from manual, website based catalog to mobile catalog. Unfortunately, there are still many obstacles in the results of library catalog search, including the relevant results of documents based on input from the user. The purpose of this research is to make the library catalog based on mobile application in android using relevant calculation used rocchio relevance feedback method. Terms— android, library, library catalog, mobile, rocchio.

Library catalog is a documentation or list of all library collections. Unfortunately, there is a problem identified in the process of searching a book inside library catalog in Universitas Multimedia Nusantara’s library information system regarding the relevant result based on user query input. This research aims to design and build a library catalog application on Android platform in order to increase the relvancy of searching result in a database using calculated Rocchio Relevance Feedback method along with user experience measurement. User experience analysis result presented a good respond with 91.18% score based by all factor and relevance value present 71.43% precision, 100% recall, and 83.33% F-Measure. Differences of relevant results between the Senayan Library Information system (SLiMS) and the new Android application ranged at 36.11%. Therefore, this Android application proved to give relevant result based on relevance rank. Index Terms—Rocchio, Relevance, Feedback, Pencarian, Buku, Aplikasi, Android, Perpustakaan.

Purpose: Approximately 5%–10% of men who receive prostate cancer radiotherapy will suffer from radiation cystitis. Bladder filling before the administration of radiotherapy results in lower radiation exposure to the bladder. BladderScan, an ultrasound-based bladder volume scanner, has the potential to evaluate bladder volume during radiotherapy; thus, a prospective pilot study was initiated. Methods: Eleven men receiving tomotherapy for localized prostate cancer were enrolled. The validity of BladderScan was evaluated by comparing the measurements from BladderScan with the calculated volume from megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT). With a crossover design to compare different methods in bladder filling, the radiotherapy was divided into 2 sequences. Conventional method: the patient was asked to drink water after voiding urine. The amount of water and the duration of waiting were the same as in the setting of the simulation. BladderScan feedback method: the bladder filling procedure depended on the BladderScan measurements. Results: There were 314 sets of data from 11 patients. The correlation coefficient between VBS and VCT was 0.87, where VBS is the mean volume of 3 measurements by BladderScan and VCT is the bladder volume derived from MVCT. The BladderScan feedback method resulted in a significant larger bladder volume than the conventional method, with a mean difference of 36.9 mL. When the failure was defined as VCT <80% of planned volume, the BladderScan feedback method brought about a relative reduction in the failure rate with an odds ratio of 0.44 and an absolute reduction of 9.1%. Conclusion: The accuracy of BladderScan was validated by MVCT in our study. The BladderScan feedback method can help patients fill the bladder adequately, with a larger bladder volume and a lower failure rate.

An output feedback method is developed, that systematically places a desired number of poles of a closed-loop system at or near desired locations. The system is transformed to its equivalent controllable canonical form, where the output feedback gain matrix is calculated in a weighted least squares scheme, that minimizes the change of the remaining modes of the system. The advantage of this method over other pole placement routines is the fact that the influence on the remaining unplaced modes of the system is minimum, which is particularly important in preserving closed-loop stability.
