The paper describes how to allow a customized automated installation of Linux. This is possible via CDRom, network or tape, using a special boot disk that describes the system that should be set up and either standard SuSE Linux CDs, customized install CDs, an appropriately configured installation server, or a tape backup of an existing machine. A control file on the boot disk and additional (o...

It is the uniqueness of Virtual Reality as a medium that calls for the creation of hybrid realities which blur the finite boundaries between physical and digital existence. Virtual Reality’s distinguishing features as an artistic medium embody a distinct form of aesthetics: it is a stereoscopic, immersive, interactive, performative, dynamic, and experiential medium. A Virtual Reality art piece ...

Remote real laboratories deal with performing real lab experiments remotely via Internet. Recent advances in Internet/web technologies and computer-controlled instrumentation allow net-based techniques to be used for setting up remote real laboratory access. The goal of our project VITELS (Virtual Internet Telecommunications Laboratory of Switzerland) is to develop a course that provides practi...

In contemporary digital art computer technology plays an integral part not only in the creation of art pieces but also in their functioning as art works. Such digital art works have usually a performative or interactive character and therefore rely on an underlying working computer system. Since computer and information technology advances with such unrelenting pace, hardware and software modul...

In this paper, we describe a novel method of combining emotional input and an Augmented Reality (AR) tracking/display system to produce dynamic interactive art that responds to the perceived emotional content of viewer reactions and interactions. As part of the CALLAS project, our aim is to explore multimodal interaction in an Arts and Entertainment context. The approach we describe has been im...

This paper describes the development of an interactive 3D audio/visual and network installation entitled POLLEN. Specifically designed for large computer Laboratories, the artwork explores the regeneration of those spaces through the creation of a fully immersive multimedia art experience. The paper describes the technical, aesthetic and educational development of the piece.

Investigating grain growth in southern protoplanetary disks Page 18 As we enter the 2006 millimetre observing season at the ATNF, the installation of the ATNF’s newest and most versatile spectrometer is now complete. The MOPra Spectrometer (MOPS) recently completed the final stages of testing on the Mopra millimetre telescope and observations have commenced for 2006, with fascinating results al...

One of the open source software tool kit is EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) developed and maintained by Argonne National laboratory, US and is in use worldwide. It maintains the server client distributed control system. Communication between server and client are done through a named piece of data called Process Variable (PV). There may be many client and many servers...

Impotence is syndrome involving the interaction of psychogenic, hormonal, neurological, arterial, venous & sinusoidal factors. Management of impotence has evolved from a time-born pattern of sympathetic discussion and empiric use of medication to a scientifically planned diagnostic protocol and specific treatment regime. The present study was undertaken to assess the effects of pharmacologicall...

The production process of pre-cast concrete installation is analyzed to investigate possible ways for onsite productivity improvement. Although manufactured construction enjoys higher quality and productivity, it is observed that it suffers delays compared to site built construction. Delay causes and respective severity are analyzed for improvement. Firstly, the production process is investigat...
