    — In Indonesia, there is still not a special website that accommodates designers to design, to sell t-shirts with their own design, most websites only sell t-shirts. Abroad, some websites have been selling design t-shirts such as Teespring. Teespring makes it easy to create, sell, and order custom t-shirts, but has the disadvantage that the price is less affordable for the people of Indonesia. T-Shirt Design is an e-commerce website that makes it easy to create, sell and order custom t-shirts with affordable prices. T-Shirt Design embraces designers as sellers with their own design products and accomodate selling their custom t-shirts. T-Shirt Design will process orders from designer/seller and display t-shirt products that have ready to sell to consumer. Consumer can order, buy t-shirt product, and pay it. After receiving the product, consumer will give the feedback that use to improve serving, accuration, expedition. Designer/Seller get selling report, inventory report and list of consumer for each shop. Keywords—Custom T-Shirt, E-commerce, T-Shirt Desig

    Intensity dependences of the nonlinear optical excitation of plasmons in graphene

    Recently, we demonstrated an all-optical coupling scheme for plasmons, which takes advantage of the intrinsic nonlinear optical response of graphene. Frequency mixing using free-space, visible light pulses generates surface plasmons in a planar graphene sample, where the phase matching condition can define both the wavevector and energy of surface waves and intraband transitions. Here, we also show that the plasmon generation process is strongly intensity-dependent, with resonance features washed out for absorbed pulse fluences greater than 0.1 J m−2. This implies a subtle interplay between the nonlinear generation process and sample heating. We discuss these effects in terms of a non-equilibrium charge distribution using a two-temperature model.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

    Online shop "Henz Collection" is an onlineshop that sells products such as clothes, bags, and shoes. The main problem faced by the online shop are not yet have a website that specialized in selling the products that it sells itself and difficult to know which customers have loyalty to this shop online. Ecommerce application is built using Fuzzy C-Means. Fuzzy C-Means clustering is a technique in which the existence of each data point is determined by the degree of membership (partition). Value centroid k-means clustering taken from random numbers, so that when the centroid determination will be modified so that the clustering results have not changed, so that the customer data can be grouped consistently and data on the cluster have been no changes during the period that would diklaster not changed. The purpose of the application design e-commerce based website is to look at the criteria for customers who are entitled to a rebate / discount. Based on test results and data modules can be concluded that the application is running as expected. Discounting seen from the experimental formation of clusters that provide the best global value silhouette. Cluster in the period 2014 to have the degree of similarity of 60% of customer data and in the period 2015 to have the degree of similarity of 80% of customer data contained in these clusters with the data of the owner onlineshop discount

    Thomas Henry Isaac, J. Gómez Rivas, and Euan Hendry, Physical Review B, Vol. 80, article 193412 (2009). "Copyright © 2009 by the American Physical Society."We modulate the transmission of terahertz (THz) radiation through periodic arrays of subwavelength holes in a metallic film by using pulses of visible-wavelength light to photoexcite the semiconducting substrate of the hole arrays. By varying the photodoping level of the semiconductor we are able to switch off the resonant transmission of THz radiation through the array. By varying the size of the holes, we demonstrate the crucial role that surface modes play in the resonant transmission and ultimately in the photomodulation behavior of these structures. We demonstrate that the surface-wave transmission mechanism can allow for very efficient optical modulation of radiation transmission

The following article appeared in Applied Physics Letters 93 (2008) and may be found at http://link.aip.org/link/?APPLAB/93/241115/1By employing a combination of time-domain measurements and numerical calculations, we demonstrate that the semiconductor InSb supports a strongly confined surface plasmon (SP) in the terahertz frequency range. We show that these SPs can be used to enhance the light-matter interaction with dielectric layers above the semiconductor surface, thereby allowing us to detect the presence of polystyrene layers around 1000 times thinner than the free space wavelength of the terahertz light. Finally we discuss the viability of using semiconductor SPs for the purposes of terahertz sensing and spectroscopy

    An exploration of parents’ preferences for foot care in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a possible role for the discrete choice experiment

    Get PDF
    Background: An increased awareness of patients’ and parents’ care preferences regarding foot care is desirable from a clinical perspective as such information may be utilised to optimise care delivery. The aim of this study was to examine parents’ preferences for, and valuations of foot care and foot-related outcomes in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).<p></p> Methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) incorporating willingness-to-pay (WTP) questions was conducted by surveying 42 parents of children with JIA who were enrolled in a randomised-controlled trial of multidisciplinary foot care at a single UK paediatric rheumatology outpatients department. Attributes explored were: levels of pain; mobility; ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL); waiting time; referral route; and footwear. The DCE was administered at trial baseline. DCE data were analysed using a multinomial-logit-regression model to estimate preferences and relative importance of attributes of foot care. A stated-preference WTP question was presented to estimate parents’ monetary valuation of health and service improvements.<p></p> Results: Every attribute in the DCE was statistically significant (p < 0.01) except that of cost (p = 0.118), suggesting that all attributes, except cost, have an impact on parents’ preferences for foot care for their child. The magnitudes of the coefficients indicate that the strength of preference for each attribute was (in descending order): improved ability to perform ADL, reductions in foot pain, improved mobility, improved ability to wear desired footwear, multidisciplinary foot care route, and reduced waiting time. Parents’ estimated mean annual WTP for a multidisciplinary foot care service was £1,119.05.<p></p> Conclusions: In terms of foot care service provision for children with JIA, parents appear to prefer improvements in health outcomes over non-health outcomes and service process attributes. Cost was relatively less important than other attributes suggesting that it does not appear to impact on parents’ preferences.<p></p&gt

    A comparative study of multiple imputation and subset correspondence analysis in dealing with missing data

    Get PDF
    Methods: Multiple imputation and subset correspondence analysis are applied to a set of child asthma data that is mainly categorical and suffers from non-response. Differences in the methods and in the outcomes they produce are studied. In addition, the inclusion of interactions in a subset correspondence analysis is illustrated. Results: Despite the vast differences in the two approaches, they yielded similar results in the identification of genetic, environmental and socio-economic factors that affect childhood asthma. A number of exposure related variables were found to be associated with the greater severity of asthma. It was also found that a finer distinction between the asthma severity levels and their associations with factors was possible with a subset correspondence analysis, compared to the multiple imputation approach. Conclusions: Both multiple imputation and subset correspondence analysis were able to identify several factors associated with childhood asthma while at the same time successfully managing the missing data. This offers the researcher a choice to select the method that best suits his/her study

    Vocalization Induced CFos Expression in Marmoset Cortex

    All non-human primates communicate with conspecifics using vocalizations, a system involving both the production and perception of species-specific vocal signals. Much of the work on the neural basis of primate vocal communication in cortex has focused on the sensory processing of vocalizations, while relatively little data are available for vocal production. Earlier physiological studies in squirrel monkeys had shed doubts on the involvement of primate cortex in vocal behaviors. The aim of the present study was to identify areas of common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) cortex that are potentially involved in vocal communication. In this study, we quantified cFos expression in three areas of marmoset cortex – frontal, temporal (auditory), and medial temporal – under various vocal conditions. Specifically, we examined cFos expression in these cortical areas during the sensory, motor (vocal production), and sensory–motor components of vocal communication. Our results showed an increase in cFos expression in ventrolateral prefrontal cortex as well as the medial and lateral belt areas of auditory cortex in the vocal perception condition. In contrast, subjects in the vocal production condition resulted in increased cFos expression only in dorsal premotor cortex. During the sensory–motor condition (antiphonal calling), subjects exhibited cFos expression in each of the above areas, as well as increased expression in perirhinal cortex. Overall, these results suggest that various cortical areas outside primary auditory cortex are involved in primate vocal communication. These findings pave the way for further physiological studies of the neural basis of primate vocal communication
