Urban growth dynamics have resulted an increase in population and rapid conversion of green open space (GOS) into built-up areas. Despite the minimum standard provision has been stated 30% on spatial regulation Law No 26/2007, Bekasi City Government has been struggling to preserve their remaining valuable green open spaces. This paper aims to propose a concept emphasizing the provision of green open space using green infrastructure by the linkages between green open spaces in the form of areas (hubs) which connected by a corridor (links). Built upon theoretical bases of the benefits of green open space that cannot be limited by administrative boundaries, the study uses Bekasi City and Bekasi Regency at the regional scale as a study case. This study calculated the potential area of green infrastructure and compared ecosystem services produced before and after the application of the concept. The result showed that the application of the Green Infrastructure concept has significantly increased the quantity (area) as well as the quality (ecological function) of green open space. An interconnected green open space was also able to enhance the ecosystem services by absorbing carbon dioxide. All of these potential benefits have implications on the Green Infrastructure development strategy to establish a more sustainable city.

Argapura is one of the village areas in Cigudeg Subdistrict which has potential unique characteristics for a tourist destination, namely Geopark. Argapura Village is one of the Pongkor National Geopark development villages covering 15 sub-districts in Bogor Regency. Pongkor National Geopark is a unitary space with geodiversity, culturediversity and biodiversity which aims to preserve and protect the wealth of natural resources. The geopark is located very close to tourism activities, but the existing tour has not specifically touched the educational aspect (educational tourism). Educational tourism is a tourism packaging program that is loaded with educational values in each of its activities. Argapura Village needs to be developed educational tourism aimed at all visitors. The objectives of this study were to identify and analyze the potential of educational tourism objects in Argapura Village, and to arrange educational tourism program in Argapura Village. Data collection through literature studies, field surveys and interviews with stakeholders. Data analysis using tables and described based on the criteria of educational values and geopark elements. The results of study showed that Argapura Village has two main potential attractions/educational tourism objects, namely Angklung Gubrag and Gudawang Caves. Angklung Gubrag is an educational tourism attraction that has high cultural, historical and religious values. Gudawang Cave is an educational tourism object in the form of karst ecosystem. In addition to the both of tourism objects, there are several other potential tourism objects and characteristics of the Geopark. The Argapura Village educational tourism was compiled includes two main programs, namely the half-day and the full-day visiting programs.

In 1975 he received a master of science degree in naval architecture and marine engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After completing the Navy's nuclear power training program
he served as machinery division officer in USSBainbridge (CGN-25) and chemistry and radiological controls assistant in USSLong Beach (CGN-9). He successfully completed the Navy's surface warfare officer qualification and passed the nuclear engineer's examination administered by Naval Reactors. He was then assigned to the Ship Design and Engineering Directorate (SEA-05) Naval Sea Systems Command as head systems engineer on the DDG-51 ship design project where he received the Navy Commendation Medal for outstanding performance. He is currently with Solar Turbines Incorporated as manager ship integration and integrated logistic support for the Rankine cycle energy recovery (RACER) system. Mr. Donovan has lectured at Virginia Polytechnic Institute teaching marine engineering and has given presentations on ship design at various symposiums and section meetings for both ASNE and SNAME. He has been a member of ASNE and SNAME since 1972 and is registered as a professional engineer in California and Virginia. Wayne S.

There is a great deal of emphasis currently in the Navy on the issues of reliability and maintainability. If a system or component is out of commission, it obviously cannot perform its mission. Thus, systems and components must be reliable, with low failure rates, and maintainable, with short repair times when the system does become inoperable. To be effective, these attributes must be incorporated into new ship systems early in the design stage. The Rankine cycle energy recovery (RACER) system is a heat recovery steam cycle designed to recover energy from the exhaust of an LM2500 gas turbine for augmentation of a ship's propulsion system. The RACER system provides several advantages to a gas turbine powered ship, one of which is improved fuel efficiency for significant annual fuel savings. This saving does not come free, however, since, in general, any additional system installed in the ship will have some maintenance requirements. In keeping with the Navy's current emphasis, a key philosophy in the design of the RACER system has been to minimize this maintenance burden. After a brief description of the RACER system and its design philosophy, the techniques being used during the design phase to minimize the maintenance burden on the fleet are presented. Trade-off studies concerning acquisition versus life-cycle costs, including fuel and maintenance costs, are discussed. Innovations incorporated into this state-of-the-art system are reviewed with an emphasis on design for affordability.

This paper compares two numerical models: diffusion equation model and transport equation model, for room‐acoustic predications in long spaces. Mathematically, the diffusion equation is the asymptotic approximation to the transport equation, therefore is expected to be less accurate. In addition, the transport equation intrinsically includes the direct sound field while the diffusion equation does not. However, due to its simple form of the diffusion equation, it has certain computational advantages over the transport equation model, e.g., it is less computationally expensive. When comparing the two models with the ray‐tracing based method, the transport equation is shown to be more precise, especially when the walls are highly absorptive. Nevertheless, the diffusion equation model performs fairly well provided that the absorption on the walls is low. In this case, the diffusion equation model might be preferred over the transport equation model due to a low computational load.

There are currently two methods to measure the diffusion / scattering from acoustical surfaces: reverberation chamber measurement and in-situ measurement using a semicircular array of microphones called a goniometer. Each of these methods has advantages and drawbacks. The reverberation chamber method accounts for random incidence, but produces inconsistent results for materials of the same profile but different absorption. It does not distinguish between one-dimensional and two-dimensional surface topologies, since the sample is rotated, and is also inapplicable to high absorption materials. The goniometer measurement quantifies directivity as well as diffusion, but presents challenges related to processing power, as many microphones are required to achieve reasonable resolution. Using a procedure akin to synthesized aperture radar, a 2.5 deg. resolution polar plot of the 180 deg. response is achieved by scanning eight microphones rather than employing a full array of 72. Also, since the direct sound and reflected sound arrive at the receiver in close succession when measuring low incident angles, special processing must be exercised in order to resolve the relationship between the sounds. This research addresses the challenges of the goniometer measurement and attempts to use a synthesized aperture goniometer to derive accurate diffusion and directivity properties of materials.
