    Unlike web applications easier to update the latest version, desktop applications more difficult and must involve the user in doing so. It is caused by a desktop application is an application that is installed in the computer user. The purpose of this research is to design an automatic system updates on a desktop application, an example case: Application Binus International Operational Support (ABIOS). This research used literature study and system design. In desktop applications, often there is update the latest applications that are not known to the user who sometimes fatal and disrupt business operations. Generally, developer will inform the changes version to user that they can update the application. In an update of applications, should be done by the system automatically, not manually by users. Once in a while, the user background is not from computer base. After doing the research, it can be concluded that the system automatically updates the application has benefits to users in obtaining information regarding the latest version, and can assist in automatically update the latest application is based on computerization. For further development of this system is expected to operate on multi platforms and or mobile applications

    Printed frequency selective surfaces on textiles

    This letter introduces a novel technique for inkjet printing frequency selective surfaces (FSS) on textiles. The challenge of printing an inkjet layer of three micron thickness on polyester cotton with a surface roughness of the order of 150 microns is achieved with a screen printed interface layer. The conducting inkjet layer is then printed directly on top of the interface layer. A screen mask was used so that the interface layer was only printed directly below the conducting ink. A square FSS structure has been fabricated and the measured shielding has been compared to simulations

    Mechanism and experimental study on the photocatalytic performance of Ag/AgCl @ chiral TiO2 nanofibers photocatalyst: the impact of wastewater components

    © 2014 Elsevier B.V.The effect of the water matrix components of a secondary effluent of a urban wastewater treatment plant on the photocatalytic activity of Ag/AgCl @ chiral TiO2 nanofibers and the undergoing reaction mechanisms were investigated. These effects were evaluated through the water components-induced changes on the net rate of hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation and modeled using a relative rate technique. Dissolved organic matter DOM (k=-2.8×108M-1s-1) scavenged reactive oxygen species, Cl- (k=-5.3×108M-1s-1) accelerated the transformation from Ag to AgCl (which is not photocatalytically active under visible-light irradiation), while Ca2+ at concentrations higher than 50mM (k=-1.3×109M-1s-1) induced aggregation of Ag/AgCl and thus all of them revealed inhibitory effects. In contrast, NO3- (k=6.9×108M-1s-1) and CO32- (k=3.7×108M-1s-1) improved the photocatalytic activity of Ag/AgCl slightly by improving the rate of HO• generation. Other ubiquitous secondary effluent components including SO42- (k=3.9×105M-1s-1), NH3+ (k=3.5×105M-1s-1) and Na+ (k=2.6×104M-1s-1) had negligible effects. 90% of 17-α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) spiked in the secondary effluent was removed within 12min, while the structure and size of Ag/AgCl @ chiral TiO2 nanofibers remained stable. This work may be helpful not only to uncover the photocatalytic mechanism of Ag/AgCl based photocatalyst but also to elucidate the transformation and transportation of Ag and AgCl in natural water

    Inkjet-printed microstrip patch antennas realized on textile for wearable applications

    This letter introduces a new technique of inkjet printing antennas on textiles. A screen-printed interface layer was used to reduce the surface roughness of the polyester/cotton material that facilitated the printing of a continuous conducting surface. Conducting ink was used to create three inkjet-printed microstrip patch antennas. An efficiency of 53% was achieved for a fully flexible antenna with two layers of ink. Measurements of the antennas bent around a polystyrene cylinder indicated that a second layer of ink improved the robustness to bending. © 2014 IEEE

    Isothermal and Nonisothermal Cold Crystallization Behaviors of Asymmetric Poly(l‑lactide)/Poly(d‑lactide) Blends

    Isothermal and nonisothermal cold crystallization behaviors of asymmetric poly­(l-lactide) (PLLA)/poly­(d-lactide) (PDLA) blends at PDLA loadings of 0–20 wt % were investigated in this work. Formation of the stereocomplex in the blends was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. For both neat PLLA and its blends, the overall isothermal cold crystallization rates increase with increasing crystallization temperature; moreover, the overall isothermal cold crystallization rates of PLLA are faster in the blends than in neat PLLA, indicative of the nucleating agent effect of the stereocomplex formed in the blends. Crystallization mechanism and crystal structure of PLLA remain unchanged despite the PDLA loading. For the nonisothermal cold crystallization, the crystallization process of PLLA is accelerated by increasing both heating rate and the PDLA loading up to 10 wt %. The Ozawa equation failed to fit the crystallization process, while the Tobin equation could describe it well in the relative degree of crystallization range of 0–75%

    An efficient and straightforward method for the preparation of highly enantiomerically enriched β,γ-unsaturated α-amino acid derivatives by a Lewis acid promoted diastereoselective Petasis reaction of vinylboronic acid, <i>N-tert-</i>butanesulfinamide, and glyoxylic acid has been developed. The synthetic utilities of the approach were demonstrated by the rapid and convenient construction of challenging cyclopenta[<i>c</i>]proline derivatives
