<span>This paper describes the design and development of a measuring tool using a mobile robot. At present, contractors are measuring distances using measuring tape which has few limitations. This includes using of another manpower or a marking flag. The Robot Measuring System is designed to measure distances at multiple conditions such as smooth and rough surface. An optical quadrature encoder is used as a sensor to measure the distances while a program is installed in Arduino Uno for reading and data collection. Graphical User Interface (GUI) was created using Android software so that the movement of the robot can be controlled using a smartphone within a Bluetooth range. An experiment was conducted to test the reliability in terms of accuracy and precision. The best accuracy and precision were obtained when the robot speed is at 90 cm/s on the plain tiles, 80 cm/s on the tar road and 90 cm/s on the grass surface. The robot speed needs to be adjusted accordingly based on the surfaces in order to get an accurate result. <br /> This paper proved that the robot measuring system was successfully designed, implemented and analyzed.</span>

Facility layout arrangement is one of the factors that can give a significant impact on the company’s performance. Poor implementation of facilities arrangement can lead to ineffective and inefficient work system which may limit the rate of productivity, poor utilization of resources, high rate of rejection and many more. Thus, this study was conducted in order to solve the problem by proposing several solutions to the company for layout problems. Data collection were done by using several methods such as observation, interviews and measurement. A measuring tool been used in this study by using measuring tape to measure the distance of process flow, size of machines and space between machine to machines. The performance of each alternatives were calculated by comparing the total distance of process flow between actual layout and alternatives layout which were being measured by using measuring tape as a measuring tool for this study. From the evaluation, 1 layout was selected as it provide the highest percent of improvements. Proposed layout is not only has reducing the congestion level of the company but also increase its performance.

XDSAPPis a Tcl/Tk-based graphical user interface for the easy and convenient processing of diffraction data sets usingXDS. It provides easy access to allXDSfunctionalities, automates the data processing and generates graphical plots of various data set statistics provided byXDS. By incorporating additional software, further information on certain features of the data set, such as radiation decay during data collection or the presence of pseudo-translational symmetry and/or twinning, can be obtained. Intensity files suitable forCCP4,CNSandSHELXare generated.

The ESRF undulator beamline ID14 `Quadriga' is dedicated to monochromatic macromolecular crystallography. Using two undulators with 23 mm and 42 mm periods and a minimum gap of 16 mm installed on a high-β section, it will provide high-brilliance X-ray beams at around 13.5 keV, as well as a wide tuneability between 6.8 and 40 keV. Based on the Troika concept, this beamline has four simultaneously operating experimental stations: three side stations, EH1, EH2 and EH3, using thin diamond crystals, and an end station, EH4, with a fast-scan double-crystal monochromator. Station EH3 has a κ-diffractometer, and an off-line Weissenberg camera with a large 80 × 80 cm active area combined with a 2048 × 2048 CCD detector. During data collection the image plates are placed and removed by a robot located inside the hutch using a cassette system. After data collection the image plates are scanned with an off-line drum scanner. Station EH4 is designed for MAD applications, including Xe K-edge anomalous experiments, and is equipped with a 2048 × 2048 CCD detector on a pseudo 2θ arm. A common graphical user interface and a database will be available to cover all aspects of data collection, including strategy optimization. First results on the performance of the optics elements and initial crystallographic results are presented.

This article describesccCluster, a software providing an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and multiple functions to perform hierarchical cluster analysis on multiple crystallographic datasets. The program makes it easier for users to choose, in the case of multi-crystal data collection, those datasets that will be merged together to give good final statistics. It provides a simple GUI to analyse the dendrogram and various options for automated clustering and data merging.

This study aims to prove whether transformational leadership training is effective for building anti-corruption attitudes of villages in Kebonharjo village, subdistrict Samigaluh Kulonprogo. This research is an experimental research with one group pre and posttest design.Subject design is 17 people from village of 21 candidates registered. Measuring tool used in this research is the scale of anti-corruption perception made by the researcher referring to the 9 anti-corruption values with the value of reliability coefficient of 0.871. The module used as an intervention made by the researcher refers to the transformational leadership dimension (Bass, 1990). The data collected is analyzed by statistical analysis of different test Paired Sample Test. Initial data collection results obtained sign value of 0.770 which means> 0.05 or no significant difference between anti-corruption perception score between before and after training. After a period of less than 1 (one) month then conducted again the measurement of follow-up of the study subjects in the measurement again using the scale of anti-corruption perception. The results of the second data collection were analysed with Paired Samples Test and obtained the value of 0.623 sign meaning p> 0.05 or no significant difference between post test data with follow-up data so that the hypothesis of this study was rejected.
