Pembuatan Aplikasi Audience Response System Berbasis Web Dan Android

Audience Response Systems are widely used in various events as a media to gather information, to collect data, and to know the opinions of the general public towards particular issues, topics, news. Audience Response System can also be used to find out the client or customer satisfaction to the quality of products or services. Unfortunately most of the audience response systems that exist today are in the form of a physical (or remote) device which is severely limited in use. Along with the development of technology, almost all people have a smartphone to support their daily activities. The physical remote device called a clicker can be replaced with an application or program that can be installed on smartphones, while the polls are created through the website. In this research, the Audience response system was built using Node.js, PhoneGap platform, and the WebSocket Socket.IO as Javascript library to support bi-directional data communications. Based on testing result, this application can run properly all the functionalities that have been mentioned such as login to the system, create a poll, join a poll, and give a vote. The realiability of the system is 93%.

Validity of instruction leaflets for parents to measure their child's weight and height at home: results obtained from a randomised controlled trial

Objectives: To compare the validity of parent-reported height, weight and body mass index (BMI) values of children (aged 4-10years), when measured at home by means of newly developed instruction leaflets in comparison with simple estimated parental reports. Design: Randomised controlled trial with control and intervention group using simple randomisation. Setting: Belgian children and their parents recruited via schools (multistage cluster sampling design). Participants: 164 Belgian children (53% male; participation rate 62%). Intervention: Parents completed a questionnaire including questions about the height and weight of their child. Parents in the intervention group received instruction leaflets to measure their child's weight and height. Classes were randomly allocated to the intervention and control groups. Nurses measured height and weight following standardised procedures up to 2weeks after parental reports. Outcome measures: Weight, height and BMI category of the child were derived from the index measurements and the parental reports. Results: Mean parent-reported weight was slightly more underestimated in the intervention group than in the control group relative to the index weights. However, for all three parameters (weight, height and BMI), correlations between parental reports and nurse measurements were higher in the intervention group. Sensitivity for underweight and overweight/obesity was respectively, 75% and 60% in the intervention group, and 67% and 43% in the control group. Weighed for classifying children in the correct BMI category was 0.30 in the control group and was 0.51 in the intervention group. Conclusions: Although mean parent-reported weight was slightly more underestimated in the intervention than in the control group, correlations were higher and there was considerably less misclassification into valid BMIcategories for the intervention group. This pattern suggests that most of the parental deviations from the index measurements were probably due to random errors of measurement and that diagnostic measures could improve by encouraging parents to measure their children's weight and height at home by means of instruction leaflets

A SISO FMCW radar based on inherently frequency scanning antennas for 2-D indoor tracking of multiple subjects

The contextual non-invasive monitoring and tracking of multiple human targets for health and surveillance purposes is an increasingly investigated application. Radars are good candidates, since they are able to remotely monitor people without raising privacy concerns. However, radar systems are typically based on complex architectures involving multiple channels and antennas, such as multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) or electronic beam scanning, resulting also in a high power consumption. In contrast with existing technologies, this paper proposes a single-input and single-output (SISO) frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar in combination with frequency scanning antennas for tracking multiple subjects in indoor environments. A data processing method is also presented for angular separation and clutter removal. The system was successfully tested in five realistic indoor scenarios involving paired subjects, which were either static or moving along predefined paths varying their range and angular position. In all scenarios, the radar was able to track the targets, reporting a maximum mean absolute error (MAE) of 20 cm and 5.64 ∘ in range and angle, respectively. Practical applications arise for ambient assisted living, telemedicine, smart building applications and surveillance

Development status of a Laue lens project for gamma-ray astronomy

We report the status of the HAXTEL project, devoted to perform a design study and the development of a Laue lens prototype. After a summary of the major results of the design study, the approach adopted to develop a Demonstration Model of a Laue lens is discussed, the set up described, and some results presented.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figures, 2007 SPIE Conference on Optics for EUV, X-Ray, and Gamma-Ray Astronomy II

Source region and growth analysis of narrowband Z-mode emission at Saturn

Intense Z-mode emission is observed in the lower density region near the inner edge of the Enceladus torus at Saturn, where these waves may resonate with MeV electrons. The source mechanism of this emission, which is narrow-banded and most intense near 5 kHz, is not well understood. We survey the Cassini Radio and Plasma Wave Science data to isolate several probable source regions near the inner edge of the Enceladus density torus. Electron phase space distributions are obtained from the Cassini Electron Spectrometer, part of the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer investigation. We perform a plasma wave growth analysis to conclude that an electron temperature anisotropy and possibly a weak loss cone can drive the Z mode as observed. Electrostatic electron acoustic waves and perhaps weak beam modes are also found to be unstable coincident with the Z mode. Quasi-steady conditions near the Enceladus density torus may result in the observations of narrowband Z-mode emission at Saturn
