In this paper, we present MOPSEUS, a lightweight digital library service based on the Fedora system. This service was created to address the needs of small libraries without support from technical staff. Hence, MOPSEUS attempts to balance flexibility against ease of installation, configuration and use. The service is available as a standard Java Web servlet, uses no external databases or other ...

The objectives of this project are to study how the total flooding gas protection system with the FM-200 clean agent is used in Hong Kong. The performance of the systems is evaluated with relevant properties of the clean agent described. It is followed by introducing the installation application on buildings in Hong Kong. A cost analysis on installation is presented. Testing and commissioning o...

Interaction experiences with public art installations are becoming ubiquitous recently, however, interaction is usually unidirectional and the actual experience not very rich. This work reports on an interactive public art installation aiming at increasing the level of social connectedness among visitors, and the results of evaluating the attractiveness of the installation. By connecting visito...

This paper presents the LoopJam installation which allows participants to interact with a sound map using a 3D computer vision tracking system. The sound map results from similarity-based clustering of sounds. The playback of these sounds is controlled by the positions or gestures of participants tracked with a Kinect depth-sensing camera. The beat-inclined bodily movements of participants in t...

A sizing algorithm for a photovoltaic water pumping installation composed of photovoltaic panels, battery' bank, DC/AC converters and a water pump is presented. Considering criteria related to the battery' bank safe operation, fulfilling the water volume needed by the crops and ensuring a continuous operation of the pump, the algorithm decides the size of the installation' compon...

Present paper studies the current harmonic spectrum generated by functioning of an electrothermal installation with electromagnetic induction. In order to analyze the electrical parameters that characterize the electrothermal installation functioning, measurement sets were accomplished using two methods. The first method consists in using a power and energy quality analyzer and the second metho...

The feasibility of model predictive control (MPC) applied to a laboratory gas turbine installation is investigated. MPC explicitly incorporates (input and output) constraints in its optimizations, which explains the choice for this computationally demanding control strategy. Strong nonlinearities, displayed by the gas turbine installation, cannot always be handled adequately by standard linear ...

Efficiently installing and configuring large sets of computer systems is an important concern for system and cluster administrators. Current solutions usually follow one of the two approaches: an image-based install or a metadata-based custom install. Both approaches limit the opportunities for optimizing the installation time by coupling the system specification with the installation technique...

Lantern Field is a communal, site-specific installation that takes shape as a spatially responsive audio-visual field. The public participates in the creation of the installation, resulting in shared ownership of the work between both the artists and participants. Furthermore, the installation takes new shape in each realization, both to incorporate the constraints and affordances of each speci...

The exploration of offshore gas/oil has been moving to deepwater fields as big reservoirs have been found and technologies have improved. Presently, the most active areas in deepwater gas/oil field development are Africa and the GOM (Gulf of Mexico) in North America. There are many technological challenges in developing deepwater gas/oil fields such as: flow assurance, subsea systems, riser sys...
