The composition of feedstock biomass and the selection of fermenting microorganisms are critical factors in biorefinery design. Feedstock biomass composition is constrained by local supply materials, but microorganism selection affords considerable flexibility. Once biomass feedstock is identified, biorefinery designers need to select optimal fermenting organisms. While fermentation by microorganism communities can increase the range of digested biomass compounds and can be more resistant to infections, it has intrinsic problems in the context of species competition, process design and modeling — issues related to insufficient process control. Using a serial fermentation approach, we offset some of these issues to allow maximal process control, while benefiting from organism diversity to maximize feedstock conversion rates. Here, we describe BioLEGO, a freely available web-based application that enables computer-assisted a single and two-step multiorganism fermentation process design. BioLEGO is based on a modular modeling approach, enabling the generation of different fermentation configurations consisting of independent organism modules. BioLEGO supports the evaluation of possible biomass-to-product yields for biomass mixes or general media and recommends media changes to increase the process efficacy.

Applicants who take part in the selection of Candidates for Civil Servant Candidates (CPNS) must pass through the steps that must be taken which can determine the graduation rate. The criteria for predicting the passing of the CPNS selection test are used by the Basic Competency Selection (SKD) which consists of a Personal Characteristic Test (TKP), General Intelligence Test (TIU), National Insight Test (TWK), Competency Selection Section (SKB) which consists of a computer assisted test (CAT) and interviews, and the number of quotas received. This research is the implementation of Fuzzy Tsukamoto Logic in Predicting the Passing Rate of the CPNS Selection Test. The system for predicting the passing of the CPNS selection test was built using the Web-based PHP programming language. Data management using MySQL database. The overall defuzzyfication (Z) result in the system predicts the passing rate of CPNS = 61.950223979 = 62.

The increasing need for property in Tanjungpinang City is very growing, especially in the housing sector. Selection of property based on location and facilities and infrastructure is always a consideration for the community in making decisions to buy a property. Difficulty finding property location information in a certain area often occurs, resulting in people not getting references about the properties offered in Tanjungpinang City. The purpose of this research is to create a web-based geographic information system (GIS) regarding the distribution of the number of properties on offer, especially in Tanjungpinang City using a web-based mapping approach. In the development of Property GIS the author uses the Waterfall method and in the analysis of system requirements it is modeled with UML (Unified Modeling Language) and implemented with the PHP programming language and MySQLI database. It is hoped that the results of making this property's geographic information system can help the public to find out information about the distribution of properties offered, such as the location of property coordinates, addresses, prices, property photos, property specification data and property developer data.

SummaryInconsistent use of SNOMED CT concepts may reduce comparability of information in health information systems. Terminology implementation should be approached by common strategies for navigating and selecting proper concepts. This study aims to explore ways of illustrating common pathways and ancestors of particular sets of concepts, to support consistent use of SNOMED CT and also assess potential applications for such visualizations.The open source prototype presented is an interactive web-based re-implementation of the terminology visualization tool TermViz that provides an overview of concepts and their hierarchical relations. It provides terminological features such as interactively rearranging graphs, fetching more concept nodes, highlighting least common parents and shared pathways in merged graphs etc.Four teams of three to four people used the prototype to complete a terminology mapping task and then, in focus group interviews, discussed the user experience and potential future tool usage. Potential purposes discussed included SNOMED CT search and training, consistent selection of concepts and content management.The evaluation indicated that the tool may be useful in many contexts especially if integrated with existing systems, and that the graph layout needs further tuning and development.Citation: Højen AR, Sundvall E, Gøeg KR.

Salah satu aspek sarana dan prasana yang penting untuk pertanian adalah bangunan irigasi. Bangunan irigasi berfungsi untuk menyediakan aliran air pada areal persawahan. Pada bangunan irigasi terdapat berbagai jenis bangunan termasuk bangunan pelengkap. Secara umum proses perancangan bangunan irigasi terkhusus pada bangunan talang dan gorong-gorong masih dilakukan secara manual dimana membutuhkan analisis perhitungan dimensi dan perancangan yang rumit. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, didukung dengan kemajuan teknologi informasi (TI) maka dapat diterapkan sistem perancangan secara online melalui sistem website yaitu web based computer assisted design. Tujuan website ini yaitu dapat digunakan untuk membantu perhitungan secara umum atau perancangan bangunan irigasi dalam melakukan pekerjaan perhitungan dimensi bangunan pelengkap irigasi. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu metode Web Development Life Cycle (WDLC) yang meliputi analisis kebutuhan, website planning, pengembangan web dan implementasi. Hasil penelitian menampilkan website yang terdiri dari beberapa menu yaitu menu home, konversi, kalkulator, referensi, bantuan dan tentang. Dari enam menu yang ada terdapat dua menu utama dan empat menu tambahan, yang menjadi menu utama yaitu menu konversi dan kalkulator. Pada menu konversi dapat digunakan untuk mengkonversi jenis satuan Panjang, kecepatan, dan volume sedangkan pada menu kalkulator terdapat kalkulator untuk perhitungan dimensi gorong-gorong dan talang yang terdiri dari luas penampang (A), jari-jari hidrolis (R), keliling basah (P) lebar saluran (b), kedalaman saluran (h). Dengan demikian para perancang dapat dengan mudah melakukan perencanaan dan perancangan bangunan yang ekonomis dengan memperhitungankan dimensi yang sesuai dengan perhitungan.

School-based curricula are seen as the important strategy to facilitate educational reforms and are spread in many countries, especially in Asia. However, the efficiency of developing and implementing school-based curricula in most schools are very low because the tasks those need to be dealt with are very complex and difficult. How to develop and apply the electronic performance support system (EPSS) to simplify the complexity and to improve the efficiency of school" based curriculum development and implementation becomes the important research and practical issue. In our prior work, a web-based computer-assisted instructional planning system IPASS, was designed to provide a set of tools for individual teachers efficiently designing instructional plans. However, the system was dedicated for the design phase of curriculum development and did not support for all participants in different levels of school-based curriculum development working on curriculum analysis, design, implementation and evaluation. This study designs and develops a novel web-based performance support system SBCDSS, to assist the whole process of school-based curriculum development and implementation. The proposed system has been adopted in an elementary school in Taiwan and has received useful feedback regarding the usability and performance support for SBCD. Evaluation results and possible future work are discussed herein.

AbstractThe study of speech timing, i.e. the duration and speed or tempo of speech events, has increased in importance over the past twenty years, in particular in connection with increased demands for accuracy, intelligibility and naturalness in speech technology, with applications in language teaching and testing, and with the study of speech timing patterns in language typology. H owever, the methods used in such studies are very diverse, and so far there is no accessible overview of these methods. Since the field is too broad for us to provide an exhaustive account, we have made two choices: first, to provide a framework of paradigmatic (classificatory), syntagmatic (compositional) and functional (discourse-oriented) dimensions for duration analysis; and second, to provide worked examples of a selection of methods associated primarily with these three dimensions. Some of the methods which are covered are established state-of-the-art approaches (e.g. the paradigmatic Classification and Regression Trees, CART , analysis), others are discussed in a critical light (e.g. so-called ‘rhythm metrics’). A set of syntagmatic approaches applies to the tokenisation and tree parsing of duration hierarchies, based on speech annotations, and a functional approach describes duration distributions with sociolinguistic variables. Several of the methods are supported by a new web-based software tool for analysing annotated speech data, the Time Group Analyser.

Learner-content interaction is one of the four interaction types in computer assisted instruction systems. “Without leaner-content interaction, little or no learning will occur” (Moore, 1993). The authors developed a web-based vocabulary and listening learning and assessment system for English instruction, which focuses on the learner-content interaction based on the behaviorisms learning theory. The authors integrated it into a normal English class weekly for a term in a high school located in a rural province in China. They analyzed the student exam scores, the student survey answers, learner-content interaction records in the learning system, and their relationship using statistical software SPSS. The research reveals that there exists almost significant positive correlation between learner-content interaction and learning performance, but there is not any correlation between the learner-content interaction and learner satisfaction. The survey results also demonstrated the learners’ satisfaction with this interactive learning system. The reasons for those findings are analyzed. Finally, limitations and further work are discussed.
