The installation of the SPIRAL2 superconducting accelerator at GANIL is almost started. All the major components have been tested in the various partner laboratories, and the building construction is now well engaged. The management of the interfaces between the process and the buildings is a strategic point in an underground accelerator, with strong space constraints. This paper describes the ...

This paper explores end-user sensor installation for domestic ubiquitous computing applications and proposes five design principles to support this task. End-user sensor installation offers several advantages: it can reduce costs, enhance users’ sense of control, accommodate diverse deployment environments, and increase users’ acceptance of the technology. The five design principles are develop...

T he chemical process industries are probably the least understood of all manufacturing sectors, largely because few final products are sold directly to consumers. The chemical process industries are perhaps best summarized by the BASF ad: “We don’t make the products you buy, we make the products you buy, better.” A consumer who purchases an automobile generally has some appreciation for the se...

Fossil fuel consumption problems and water crisis are serious dangers. Using renewable energy is a solution to reduce fossil fuel consumption. Photovoltaic is a renewable energy generation method which is abundantly used all over the world. By installation of solar panels on the surface of water, the efficiency of panels increases and in addition, the surface evaporation of water will be reduce...
