  The image of Prince Diponegoro as a national hero of Indonesia is very strong. However, there are controversies and myths regarding his characterization. The researcher deconstructs the character of Prince Diponegoro by appropriating Raden Saleh's painting entitled Penangkapan Pangeran Diponegoro by tracing the authentic script from the autobiography of Babad Diponegoro. The manuscript is examined using an intertextuality approach. Prince Diponegoro is constructed based on the physical characteristics contained in the Babad Diponegoro text into a three-dimensional digital model. The results are then rearranged using the deconstruction method by detaching from the existing stereotype of Prince Diponegoro and displaying his character and habits as written in Babad Diponegoro. A number of questions to be answered through this research are what can be visualized from the character of Prince Diponegoro using a textual approach, especially based on Babad Diponegoro, why does the character and identity based on Babad Diponegoro need to be visualized and what methods can be used to bring out the body and character. through the use of digital technology which includes embodiment, motion, gesture, sound, light, interactivity so as to provide a new experience for the audience. The result was a series of movements and visuals that enriched the characterization of Prince Diponegoro. All characters, both those that have been formed for a long time and those that were only known after the translation of Babad Diponegoro, were shown in the virtual experiment entitled Hikayat Dipanegara. The results showed that appropriation using different dimensions and technology resulted in a new image of Prince Diponegoro. The crossing of signs that occurs between real and virtual experiences and in the context of time can provide a new experience which may change the perspective or understanding of things.

Abstract The art of bodypainting that is fairly unknown to a wider public turns the body into a canvas - it is a frequently used phrase in the field of bodypainting that illustrates the challenge it faces: it uses a three-dimensional surface and has to cope with its irregularities, but also with the model’s abilities and characteristics. This paper looks at individuals who are turned into art by bodypainting. Although body painting can be very challenging for them - they have to expose their bodies and to stand still for a long time while getting transformed - models report that they enjoy both the process and the result, even if they are not confident about their own bodies. Among the reasons there are physical aspects like the sensual enjoyment, but also the feeling of being part of something artistic. This is enhanced and preserved through double staging - becoming a threedimentional work of art and then being staged for photography or film clips. This process gives the model the chance to experience their own body in a detached way. On the one hand, bodypainting closely relates to the body and on the other hand, it can help to over-come the body.

For many years in car development the future customer was first represented by templates. Today and in fact for a long time now CAD tools are solely used for designing a car and therefore man had to be integrated into that environment as well. 1986 the German car industry joined in a research program to produce a common man model for the use in automotive design. This program called RAMSIS has been in practical use at BMW since the early nineties. All “static” situations can be assessed with RAMSIS today including dynamic movements of arms and legs. For entry and egress and for the final confirmation, three dimensional mock-ups are tested by a number of in-house test subjects. Their body dimensions have to be known in order to compare their assessments with the customer population. Therefore we regularly measure members of the research and development center using all methods, from the conventional yardstick to current laser scanning techniques. Hand in hand with DMU methods Virtual Reality has gained access to development processes. The goal of DMU, to eliminate the time consuming and expensive hardware loops and replace them as much as possible by digital models, is effectively supported by VR techniques that speed up processes by enhancing the man-machine-interaction. There is a wide range of application fields to use these techniques, e.g. design review, assembly and maintenance simulation and training. RAMSIS is integrated in the BMW VR environment with special extensions to allow immersive ergonomic research. Mixed mock-up applications are used to have virtual experiences, to verify or to train assembly procedures at an early stage of development and therefore eliminate problems as soon as possible. New concepts can be evaluated and assessed taking ergonomic aspects and disturbing influences into account.

Background  Stereotactic surgery or stereotaxy is a minimally invasive form of surgical intervention which makes use of a three-dimensional coordinate system to locate small targets inside the body and to perform on them some action such as ablation, biopsy, lesion, injection, stimulation, implantation, radiosurgery (SRS), etc. Though it was developed a long time ago as a useful adjunct to brain lesions evaluation, use in Nepal is quite recent. Materials and Methods The study included eight patients who underwent frame based stereotactic biopsy and pathological evaluation of specimen at National Academy of Medical Sciences (NAMS). Results Out of eight patients the results were positive in seven patient and negative in one patient. Conclusions  The basic advantages of stereotaxy were realized in our cases with minimal morbidity and no mortality. Craniotomy for biopsy could be avoided.  


Laboratory and numerical experiments have been conducted on the flow of a linearly stratified rotating fluid past isolated obstacles of revolution (conical and cosinesquared profiles). Laboratory experiments are considered for a range of Rossby, Ekman and Burger numbers, the pertinent dynamical parameters of the system. In these experiments, inertial, Coriolis, pressure, viscous and buoyancy forces all play a significant role. Emphasis is given to examining the nature of the time development of the flow fields as well as its long-time behaviour, including eddy shedding. It is shown, for example, that increased stratification tends to diminish the steering effect of the obstacle, other parameters being fixed, at elevation levels above the topography. At levels below the top of the obstacle, increased stratification tends to force the fluid around rather than over the body and this, in turn, tends to develop vortex shedding at smaller Reynolds numbers than would occur in corresponding lower stratification cases. Data for the cone reveal that the Strouhal number for the eddy-shedding regime is relatively insensitive to the values of Ro , Ek and S for the range of parameters investigated. Stratification tends to induce lee waves in the topography wake, and the nature of this lee-wave pattern is modified by the presence of rotation. For example, it is demonstrated that for vertically upward rotation, the lee waves on the right, facing downstream, have a larger amplitude than their counterparts at the same location on the left. The steering effects, as predicted by a three-level quasigeostrophic numerical model, are shown to be in good agreement with the laboratory results for a narrow range of parameter space. The numerical model is used to examine the effects of rotation, friction and stratification in modifying the flow. The quasigeostrophic numerical simulations do not produce eddy shedding, and it is concluded that a full, primitive equation numerical model would be needed to explore this phenomenon.

AbstractThe Navier-Stokes equations for viscous, incompressible fluids are studied in the three-dimensional periodic domains, with the body force having an asymptotic expansion, when time goes to infinity, in terms of power-decaying functions in a Sobolev-Gevrey space. Any Leray-Hopf weak solution is proved to have an asymptotic expansion of the same type in the same space, which is uniquely determined by the force, and independent of the individual solutions. In case the expansion is convergent, we show that the next asymptotic approximation for the solution must be an exponential decay. Furthermore, the convergence of the expansion and the range of its coefficients, as the force varies are investigated.

AbstractWe develop a constrained theory for constituent migration in bodies with microstructure described by a scalar phase field. The distinguishing features of the theory stem from a systematic treatment and characterization of the reactions needed to maintain the internal constraint given by the coincidence of the mass fraction and the phase field. We also develop boundary conditions for situations in which the interface between the body and its environment is structureless and cannot support constituent transport. In addition to yielding a new derivation of the Cahn–Hilliard equation, the theory affords an interpretation of that equation as a limiting variant of an Allen–Cahn type diffusion system arising from the unconstrained theory obtained by considering the mass fraction and the phase field as independent quantities. We corroborate that interpretation with three-dimensional numerical simulations of a recently proposed benchmark problem.

AbstractThe flow around the three-dimensional blunt geometry presented in the work of Ahmed, Ramm & Faitin (Tech. Rep., 1984) is investigated experimentally at $\mathit{Re}= {U}_{0} H/ \nu = 9. 2\times 1{0}^{4} $ (where ${U}_{0} $ is free-stream velocity, $H$ the height of the body and $\nu $ viscosity). The very large recirculation on the base responsible for the dominant part of the drag is characterized. The analyses of the coherent dynamics of the wake reveal the presence of two very distinctive time scales. At long time scales ${T}_{l} \sim 1{0}^{3} H/ {U}_{0} $, the recirculation region shifts between two preferred reflectional-symmetry-breaking positions leading to a statistically symmetric wake; the sequence of these asymmetric states is random. This bi-stable behaviour is independent of the Reynolds number but occurs only above a critical value of ground clearance. At short time scales ${T}_{s} \sim 5H/ {U}_{0} $, the wake presents weak coherent oscillations in the vertical and lateral directions. They are respectively associated with the interaction of the top/bottom and lateral shear layers; when normalized by the height and width of the body, the Strouhal numbers are close to 0.17. These results suggest an alternate shedding associated with the vertical oscillation and a one-sided vortex shedding in the lateral direction with an orientation linked to the current asymmetric position. Finally, the impact of these coherent wake motions on the base pressure is discussed to motivate further drag reduction strategies.

Beauty consumers are currently promised to satisfy their needs by interpolating capitalist ideology in The Body Shop's advertising discourse on digital media, which can eliminate Reason in fulfilling requirements. This research was conducted to examine the interpellation of capitalist ideology in exploiting consumers' beauty needs, consumers to process the interpellation of capitalist ideologies to fulfill apparent beauty needs, and the emancipation process to free these consumers. The research found that the interpellation of capitalist ideology in The Body Shop's advertising discourse on digital media to exploit consumers through preconditions of pleasure, exploitation of instincts, alienation, and sublimation of concern, sublimation for transformation, separation, and discrimination of real needs; in the way of shaking logic, manipulative messages, promising the pleasures of beauty necessities. Each consumer responds to the interpellation of capitalist ideology in different dimensions: 1) Two-dimensional consumers maintain rational and irrational reasoning to meet their real needs, 2) One-dimensional consumers only use illogical reasoning to fulfill apparent needs, 3) Consumers with metamorphosis dimensions with superficial needs. For this reason, a new size is needed in the digital communication era, namely "Three Dimensional Consumers: Combine rational reasoning, irrational reasoning, humanist communication media, so that consumers meet their true humanist and transcendent needs.

The lymphatic system is very important in the immunological activities of the body. Clinicians confirm the diagnosis of infectious diseases by palpating the involved cutaneous lymph node for changes in size, heat, and consistency. Clinical pathologists diagnose systemic diseases through biopsies of superficial lymph nodes. In many parts of the world the goat is considered as an important source of milk and meat products.The lymphatic system has been studied extensively. These studies lack precise information on the natural morphology of the lymph nodes and their vascular and cellular constituent. This is due to using improper technique for such studies. A few studies used the SEM, conducted by cutting the lymph node with a blade. The morphological data collected by this method are artificial and do not reflect the normal three dimensional surface of the examined area of the lymph node. SEM has been used to study the lymph vessels and lymph nodes of different animals. No information on the cutaneous lymph nodes of the goat has ever been collected using the scanning electron microscope.

Photosystem II (PSII) is different from all other reaction centers in that it splits water to evolve oxygen and hydrogen ions. This unique ability to evolve oxygen is partly due to three oxygen evolving polypeptides (OEPs) associated with the PSII complex. Freeze etching on grana derived insideout membranes revealed that the OEPs contribute to the observed tetrameric nature of the PSIl particle; when the OEPs are removed, a distinct dimer emerges. Thus, the surface of the PSII complex changes dramatically upon removal of these polypeptides. The atomic force microscope (AFM) is ideal for examining surface topography. The instrument provides a topographical view of individual PSII complexes, giving relatively high resolution three-dimensional information without image averaging techniques. In addition, the use of a fluid cell allows a biologically active sample to be maintained under fully hydrated and physiologically buffered conditions. The OEPs associated with PSII may be sequentially removed, thereby changing the surface of the complex by one polypeptide at a time.
