IRAF in the nineties

The Interactive Data Reduction and Analysis Facility (IRAF) data reduction and analysis system has been around since 1981. Today it is a mature system with hundreds of applications, and is supported on all the major platforms. Many institutions, projects, and individuals around the US and around the world have developed software for IRAF. Some of these packages are comparable in size to the IRAF core system itself. IRAF is both a data analysis system, and a programming environment. As a data analysis system it can be easily installed by a user at a remote site and immediately used to view and process data. As a programming environment IRAF contains a wealth of high and low level facilities for developing new applications for interactive and automated processing of astronomical or other data. As important as the applications programs and user interfaces are to the scientist using IRAF, the heart of the IRAF system is the programming environment. The programming environment determines to a large extent the types of applications which can be built within IRAF, what they will look like, and how they will interact with one another and with the user. While applications can be easily added to or removed from a software system, the programming environment must remain fairly stable, with carefully planned evolution and growth, over the lifetime of a system. The IRAF programming environment is the framework on which the rest of the IRAF system is built. The IRAF programming environment as it exists in 1992, and the work currently underway to enhance the environment are discussed. The structure of the programming environment as a class hierarchy is discussed, with emphasis on the work being done on the image data structures, graphics and image display interfaces, and user interfaces. The new technologies which we feel IRAF must deal with successfully over the coming years are discussed. Finally, a preview of what IRAF might look like to the user by the end of the decade is presented

Implementasi Manajemen Kinerja Di Perum PHT

Perum PHT is a State Owned Enterprises which manages Production and ProtectedForests in Indonesia, especially in Java and Madura. The growing expectation on themodern enterprise management, Perum PHT has been implementing PerformanceManagement. The purpose of this study to determine the extent of implementation ofperformance management in Perum PHT. Data were collected through interviewsand participant observation.The results of research in the form of this descriptive study concluded that theimplementation of performance management in Perum PHT has some shortcomings,namely: Stages of management that is not fully implemented in accordance with, thefocus is still limited at this stage of the implementation of performance appraisal.Socialization of performance management is not optimal so that an understandingof employee Perum PHT on application performance management mash less.To be successful in implementing performance management needs the support oftop management as well as a good example by doing all phases of the performancemanagement process and to improve the understanding of employees at alllevels of the performance management process. With the implementation ofperformance management consistently, expected performance and contributionto the effectiveness of individual employees to achieve company goals can beplanned, monitored, measured and evaluated the process of achievement, as wellas performed corrective actions when performance problems occur so that thecompany's goals can be achieved

KAJIAN FINANSIAL PENGADAAN PERALATAN PENGUKUR KETIDAKRATAAN JALAN LASER PROFILEMETER KELAS I HAWKEYE 2000 DI LINGKUNGAN BALAI PELAKSANAAN JALAN NASIONAL BENGKULU

Balai Pelaksanaan Jalan Nasional (BPJN) Bengkulu was born based on PUPR Regulation Number. 26 of2020. The Function is the implementation of feasibility studies, surveys, investigation, and evaluation ofplanning for the technical field of road and bridge including road safety. The Important type of survey arelongitudinal profile survey International Roughness Index (IRI), and Pavement Condition Index (PCI). TheMethod is to examined secondary data obtained from literature review and analyzed financial data (NetPresent Value, Benefit Cost Ratio, and Payback Period. The author builds four scenarios (pessimistic,medium, optimistic, and do nothing). The Benefit Cost Ratio for the scenario 1 (pessimist) is 0.33, thescenario 2 (medium) is 1.54, the scenario 3 (optimistic) is 2.82, and the scenario 4 (do-nothing) is N/A.Value of Payback Period for the scenario 2 (medium) is 5.62 years, and the scenario 3 (optimistic) is 2.79years. Based on the analysis, the decision to purchase a Hawkeye 2000 digital laser profilemeter withinBPJN Bengkulu is financially feasible as long as the hawkeye used not only for Internal, but as a source ofPNBP from client like private sector or provincial government, and distric or city governments in BengkuluProvince

Tramp Novae Between Galaxies in the Fornax Cluster: Tracers of Intracluster Light

We report the results of a survey for novae in and between the galaxies of the Fornax cluster. Our survey provides strong evidence that intracluster novae exist and that they provide a useful, independent measure of the intracluster light in Fornax. We discovered six strong nova candidates in six distinct epochs spanning eleven years from 1993 to 2004. The data were taken with the 4m and the 1.5m telescopes at CTIO. The spatial distribution of the nova candidates is consistent with $\sim$16-41% of the total light in the cluster being in the intracluster light, based on the ratio of the number of novae we discovered in intracluster space over the total number of novae discovered plus a simple completeness correction factor. This estimate is consistent with independent measures of intracluster light in Fornax and Virgo using intracluster planetary nebulae. The accuracy of the intracluster light measurement improves with each survey epoch as more novae are discovered.Comment: 30 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal (Sep 9, 2004).
