pipe drain installation depth is one of the most important design parameters, which has a key role in the drained water volume and quality. in this research, the effect of pipe drain installation depth was investigated by using a physical laboratory model. drains were installed at 0.25, 0.5 and 0.85 m deep in a cubical box with dimensions of 1*0.5*1 meter filled with a sandy loam soil. nitrate,...

INTRIUM is an interactive sound installation exploring the inside vibration of the atrium. A certain number of architectural elements are fitted with acoustic sensors in order to capture the vibration they produce when they are manipulated or touched by hands. This raw sound is further processed in real-time, allowing the participants to create a sonic landscape in the atrium, as the result of ...

In this paper I analyze the interaction between sound and the visual arts as well as its development through the acoustic space and time. In other words, I am trying to understand the aesthetic implications of the sound sculpture and sound installation disciplines. Nevertheless, in order to understand the main characteristics of this relatively new media, we need first to consider some importan...

Users often install applications from untrusted sources. Alcatraz is a system that provides isolation of a system from potentially untrustworthy user programs. However, we find performance and functionality concerns with Alcatraz. Nevertheless, Alcatraz demonstrates the feasibility of one-way isolation of user programs. During a port of Alcatraz to a modern commodity operating system, Mac OS X,...

PURPOSE: To develop a method for direct measurement, using anatomic specimens, of the precision of MR-guided stereotaxic location and to describe its application to a 1.5-T MR unit with a Leksell stereotaxic frame. METHODS: Small pieces of gel foam ( 1 X 1 X 1 mm), soaked in gadopentetate dimeglumine, were stereotaxically introduced into formalin-fixed human heads using a Leksell D (three exper...

Cultured Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) may be introduced into natural systems intentionally or accidentally. As smolts or post-smolts, they move to the feeding areas of wild salmon in the North Atlantic Ocean. As maturing fish, they return to the area of release and enter rivers to spawn. Lack of juvenile river experience is the prime reason why cultured salmon often enter fresh water later ...

The SPARC project has entered its installation phase at the Frascati National Laboratories of INFN: its main goal, the promotion of an R&D activity oriented to the development of a high brightness photoinjector to drive SASE-FEL experiments, is being vigorously pursued by a collaboration among ENEA-INFN-CNR-Universita` di Roma Tor Vergata-INFM-ST. In this paper we will report on the installatio...

The idea of automated installation/un-installation is a direct consequence of the tedious and time consuming manual efforts put into installing or uninstalling multiple software over hundreds of machines. In this work we propose what is to the best of our knowledge the first learnable method of autonomous software installation/un-installation. The method leverages text classification using as d...
