This study provides a framework to holistically assess the level of passengers' satisfaction for a given ferry service based on the dominant Design/Operational, Passengers Care/Safety/Security and Environmental categorical factors that define the ferry service operations and influence passengers' satisfaction. A test case carried out for a ferry service offered by a boat operator in the Warri wharf yields a Passengers' Satisfaction Index of 3.84, indicating that the ferry service is in the range of dissatisfactory and moderately satisfactory, which is in good agreement with popular opinions that the service offered by that operator does not satisfy most of the passengers' expectations. The results of the test case proved that the framework reliably and realistically predicts the level of satisfaction the passengers derived from the various segments that define the service offered by a boat operator. This study will assist passengers make informed decision about the choice of operators to patronize. It will also guide operators and regulators to identify and improve those areas of the ferry service that are pertinent to the successful operation of the ferry business.

Introduction: Patient satisfaction is like many other psychological concepts, it is easy to understand but hard to define. The concept of satisfaction overlaps with similar themes such as happiness, contentment, and quality of life. Satisfaction is not some pre-existing phenomenon waiting to be measured, but a judgment that people form over time as they reflect on their experience. A simple and practical definition of satisfaction would be the degree to which desired goals have been achieved. Methods: The type of this research is descriptive with survey methode. Data is collected through questionnaire with the total sample of 150 respondents. The study population was based on accidental sampling, by which the sample was selected depending on who came to Orthodontic Department of RSGM FKG UNPAD, Bandung by the researcher during the period of the research. Results: The data is then analyzed using Community Satisfaction Index (Indeks Kepuasan Masyarakat) or IKM that which shows that 13 out of 14 indicators are still in B grade and overall IKM value of 7.90%, which means that the level of satisfaction has yet not met the expectation among removable appliances patients in Orthodontic Department of RSGM FKG UNPAD, Bandung. Conclusion: The level of satisfaction among removable appliances patients 0rthodontic are still have not met the patients’ expectation.

Visitors of Wipersnondi Lake had great hope of fulfilling their comfort when they arrived at the tourism sites, in fact the performance felt by visitors cannot satisfy all the expectations of visitors and had  impact  on their satisfaction and convenience. This study aims to determine the level of satisfaction of tourist visitors to the availability of elements of tourism products, and to find out its developments strategy. To answer the research problem, the analysis technique used is Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). The results of research based on CSI show that visitors are not satisfied with the performance of tourism products at Wopersnondi Lake.  Based on the results of the IPA analysis, the main priorities for tourism development in Wopersnondi Lake are increasing affordability and opening of public transport routes, improving cleanliness and increasing the number of toilets, specifically at the lake location, providing road directions to the location, and building health facilities like public health centers around Wopersnondi Lake. Furthermore, the unique aspects of  Wopersnondi Lake that must be maintained are the beautiful view at the tourist location, the comfort of the tourist attraction, the coolness, the cleanliness, the quality of the road to the lake, the parking lot area, and the availability of trash cans are things that have actually been felt and have created comfort and  good experience for visitors to Wopersnondi Lake.  This development must support the development of other tourism products.. Key Word : Importance  Performance  Analysis, Customer Satisfaction Index.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan mengukur tingkat kepuasan pengguna terhadap aplikasi Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) pada Perpustakaan STMIK AMIKOM Yogyakarta. Subjek penelitian ini ialah mahasiswa yang terdaftar sebagai anggota perpustakaan dan objek penelitian ini adalah aplikasi OPAC Perpustakaan STMIK AMIKOM Yogyakarta. Analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan diagram Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) dipadukan dengan Indeks Kepuasan Pengguna (IKP) didasarkan pada indikator-indikator dari lima dimensi End User Computing Satisfaction yaitu isi (content), keakuratan (accuracy), bentuk (format), kemudahan penggunaan (ease of use) dan ketepatan waktu (timeliness). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengguna OPAC Perpustakaan STMIK AMIKOM Yogyakarta cukup puas dengan hasil perhitungan IKP 78,01 %. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberi masukan pada pengelola OPAC sebagai bahan acuan untuk meningkatkan kinerja OPAC.This study aims to identify and measure the level of satisfaction of users of the application Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) in the library STMIK AMIKOM Yogyakarta. These subjects are students who are registered as members of the library and the object of this study is OPAC STMIK Library AMIKOM Yogyakarta. Analysis of the data in this study using a diagram of Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) which is combined with User Satisfaction Index (IKP) based on the five dimensions of End User Computing Satisfaction; content, accuracy, format, ease of use and timeliness.

Abstract Numerical analysis was carried out to evaluate the temperature rise and charge retention of Ni-MH batteries as pallet loads. In this paper, thermal analysis of pallet loads which contain 2400 mAh Ni-MH batteries is considered as a test case. To reduce computational load, thermal analysis was performed in three stages. Measured and calculated temperature rise of the load showed good agreement, and it can be observed that there exists an appropriate charge retention of the battery to sustain high retention during transportation.

Abstract This paper presents an experimental validation of a finite element approach for the dynamic analysis of flexible multi-body planar mechanisms. The mathematical model employed accounts for mechanism geometric and inertial non-linearities and considers coupling effects among rigid-body and elastic motion. A flexible five-bar linkage actuated by two electric motors is employed as a test case. Experimentally determined link absolute deformations are compared with the numerical results obtained simulating the system dynamic behavior through the mathematical model. The experimental and numerical results are in good agreement especially after the very first transient period.

The accuracy in predicting the unsteady aerodynamic blade-row-interaction of two state-of-the-art Navier-Stokes codes is evaluated within the current paper. The general flow features of the test case — a transonic research propfan stage — are described in brief as far as necessary to understand the detailed comparisons. The calculated unsteady velocity and flow angle distributions at various axial planes of the stage are compared to data from unsteady laser measurements. The general flow features of the propfan are very well reproduced by the numerical methods and a good agreement is also obtained in comparison to the measured data. One important outcome of the comparison is the good agreement of both numerical methods with the unsteady fluctuations measured in the experiment.

A new three-dimensional Navier–Stokes solver for flows in turbomachines has been developed. The new solver is based on the latest version of the Denton codes but has been implemented to run on graphics processing units (GPUs) instead of the traditional central processing unit. The change in processor enables an order-of-magnitude reduction in run-time due to the higher performance of the GPU. The scaling results for a 16 node GPU cluster are also presented, showing almost linear scaling for typical turbomachinery cases. For validation purposes, a test case consisting of a three-stage turbine with complete hub and casing leakage paths is described. Good agreement is obtained with previously published experimental results. The simulation runs in less than 10 min on a cluster with four GPUs.
