This paper determines the parameters of the interaction models based on available published experimental measurements. The masses, damping ratios and stiffnesses of body models are identified by the curve fitting of the measured apparent mass curves from shaking table tests in published biomechanics studies. Then the extracted data are used to identify the parameters of the interaction models. Finally, the eigenvalue analyses of the human-structure models are calculated for comparison. In this identification process, it was identified that the quality of the curve fitting for the interaction model is as good as and even slightly better than the published results. One or two additional conditions for the interaction models would lead to several sets of parameters, but with the result of the continuous model, reasonable parameters have to be applied which can be identified and these parameters could be used in further calculations.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems using modal- and vibration-based methods, particularly wireless systems, have been widely investigated in relation to the monitoring of damage states in civil infrastructures such as bridges and buildings. Unlike many current efforts in developing wireless sensors, one can instead leverage the suite of sensors, network transmission, data storage, and embedded processing capabilities built into modern smartphones for SHM. The objective of this work was to assess and validate the use of smartphones for the monitoring of artificial damage states in a three-story steel frame model subjected to shaking table-induced earthquake excitations. The steel frame was a 2D structure with six rotary viscous dampers installed at the beam–column joints, which were used for simulating different damage states at their respective locations; the columns were also replaced with ones of reduced cross-sectional areas to further emulate damage. In addition to instrumenting the frame with conventional tethered sensors, Apple iPhones (pre-loaded with customized smartphone apps to record acceleration and inter-story displacement) were also installed. Shaking table tests were then conducted on the undamaged and damaged frames, while conventional sensors’ and smartphones’ responses were collected and compared. Wavelet packet decomposition was employed to analyze the acceleration data to detect damage in two different cases. Structural displacements were also computed from acceleration measurements and compared with displacement measurements to further validate the quality of smartphone sensor measurements.

The purpose of this study is (1) to analyze public perception on urban services before and after the expansion of the region, (2) analyze the level of people's satisfaction with urban services, and (3) analyze the determinants of the variables that determine what level of people's satisfaction urban services. This study concluded that first, after the expansion, the quality of urban services in South Tangerang City is better than before. Secondly, however, public satisfaction with the services only reached 48.53% (poor scale). Third, by using a Cartesian Diagram, the second priority that must be addressed are: (1) clarity of service personnel, (2) the discipline of service personnel, (3) responsibility for care workers; (4) the speed of service, (5) the ability of officers services, (6) obtain justice services, and (7) the courtesy and hospitality workers.

This work investigates the ink mileage of dry toners in electrophotography (EP). Four different substrates were printed on a dry-toner color production Xerox iGen3 EP press. The print layout contained patches with different cyan, magenta, yellow, and black tonal values from 10% to 100%. Toner amounts on cyan patches were measured using an analytical method. Printed patches and unprinted paper samples, as well as dry toners, were dissolved in concentrated nitric acid. The copper concentrations in the dissolved solutions were analyzed by a Zeeman graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer. Analytical results were calculated to determine the toner amounts on paper for different tonal values. Their corresponding reflection densities were also measured. All data were plotted with OriginPro® 8 software, and four mathematical models were used for curve fitting. It was found that the C-S model fitted the experimental data of the two uncoated papers better than the other three models. None of the four models fitted the experimental data of the two coated papers, while the linear model was found to fit the data well. Linear fitting was the best in the practical density region for the two coated papers. Ink mileage curves obtained from curve fitting were used to estimate how much ink was required to achieve a target density for each paper; hence, the ink mileage was calculated. The highest ink mileage was 3.39 times the lowest ink mileage. The rougher the paper surface, the higher the requirement for ink film weight, and the lower ink mileage. No correlation was found between ink mileage and paper porosity.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a telecommunications technology that is able to pass the communication service in Internet Protocol networks so as to allow communicating between users in an IP network. However VoIP technology still has weakness in the Quality of Service (QoS). VOPI weaknesses is affected by the selection of the physical servers used. In this research, VoIP is configured on Linux operating system with Asterisk as VoIP application server and integrated on a Raspberry Pi by using wired and wireless network as the transmission medium. Because of depletion of IPv4 capacity that can be used on the network, it needs to be applied to VoIP system using the IPv6 network protocol with supports devices. The test results by using a wired transmission medium that has obtained are the average delay is 117.851 ms, jitter is 5.796 ms, packet loss is 0.38%, throughput is 962.861 kbps, 8.33% of CPU usage and 59.33% of memory usage. The analysis shows that the wired transmission media is better than the wireless transmission media and wireless-wired.

Tropical Storm Imelda struck the southeast coastal regions of Texas from 17–19 September, 2019, and delivered precipitation above 500 mm over about 6000 km2. The performance of the three IMERG (Early-, Late-, and Final-run) GPM satellite-based precipitation products was evaluated against Stage-IV radar precipitation estimates. Basic and probabilistic statistical metrics, such as CC, RSME, RBIAS, POD, FAR, CSI, and PSS were employed to assess the performance of the IMERG products. The products captured the event adequately, with a fairly high POD value of 0.9. The best product (Early-run) showed an average correlation coefficient of 0.60. The algorithm used to produce the Final-run improved the quality of the data by removing systematic errors that occurred in the near-real-time products. Less than 5 mm RMSE error was experienced in over three-quarters (ranging from 73% to 76%) of the area by all three IMERG products in estimating the Tropical Storm Imelda. The Early-run product showed a much better RBIAS relatively to the Final-run product. The overall performance was poor, as areas with an acceptable range of RBIAS (i.e., between −10% and 10%) in all the three IMERG products were only 16% to 17% of the total area. Overall, the Early-run product was found to be better than Late- and Final-run.
