Abstract

Enhancing the quality of reconstructing low-resolution facial images poses a significant challenge in various applications, particularly in CCTV-based surveillance. This study develops a Fast Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network (FSRCNN) model with the addition of parallel feature extraction layers and residual connections from these layers to the expanding layer to improve the reconstruction quality of faces from low resolution. The proposed model is tested using two datasets: CelebA and CCTV footage. The tests are conducted for two reconstruction scales, namely from LR to HR and from LR to intermediate. The results demonstrate that the proposed model consistently outperforms the standard FSRCNN. In the LR to HR reconstruction, the proposed model achieves an average PSNR improvement of 1.24 dB and an SSIM increase of 0.0584 on the CelebA dataset. For the CCTV dataset, an average PSNR enhancement of 0.52 dB and an SSIM improvement of 0.025 are attained. While this model significantly enhances image quality, several limitations were identified regarding performance on more varied CCTV images and the higher complexity of the model.

Abstract

The tofu production process produces liquid waste that has a high organic content and has the potential to pollute water bodies if not treated. The combination of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) and Anaerobic Baffled Reactors (ABR) presents an effective solution to treat this liquid waste while generating electricity. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the type of anode in the MFCs-ABR system on electrical power (mW) and COD reduction in tofu liquid waste. The methodology used includes processing tofu liquid waste with variations in the types of zinc and stainless steel anodes. The parameters observed were electrical power and COD reduction efficiency at retention times of 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours. The results showed that the zinc anode produced electrical power reaching 0.38 mW and showed a COD reduction efficiency of 55.85% at 96 hours. The stainless steel anode produced electrical power of 0.18 mW and a COD reduction efficiency of 52.80% at 96 hours. This study shows that the type of anode affects the electrical power generated in the MFCs system.

Abstract

One method than can be used to joint solid cylinders is Rotary Friction Welding (RFW). RFW is a Type solid-state welding that has the advantage of not requiring filler, shielding gas and produces good mechanical properties because the joining occurs below the base metal temperature. This study aims was to determine the effect of friction time on the physical and mechanical properties of Rotary Friction Welding (RFW) joints in AISI 1008 steel. RFW welding is carried out with a rotation speed of 1,170 RPM and friction plunge of 3 mm and forging depth 2 mm with three kinds of welding time, 3 minutes, 4 minutes and 5 minutes were investigated.  The average temperature of RFW welding with variations of welding time (3-minute, 4-minute and 5-minute) are 1,022.3°C, 1034.5°C and 1,062.7°C. The physical properties of the weld joint were obtained from photomacro using an optical microscope and corrosion testing using the weight loss method. The mechanical properties of the RFW weld joint were determined from tensile and bending tests using a Universal Testing Machine as well as hardness testing using the Vickers Microhardness method. Photomacro observations show that the longer the welding time used in RFW welding, the wider the welded area. The test results show that optimal physical and mechanical properties were obtained on RFW weld joints with a welding time variation of 4 minutes. At the 4-minute variation, the highest tensile and bending strength values were obtained compared to other time variations. As for the hardness testing of the welding zone with a friction  time of 4 minutes, it has the smallest value compared to other variations in welding time (3 minutes and 5 minutes). For the base metal and the HAZ, the hardness values for all variations are relatively the same because the materials used are the same and the welding heat is not high enough to change the microstructure in the area. Corrosion testing conducted for 50 days showed that all RFW welds with welding time variations had excellent corrosion resistance values.

Abstract

Roselle flower is known rich in anthocyanin compounds that has activities as antipollutants, so it has potential to be developed as clay facial soap. Soap is formed by the saponification reaction between fatty acids and strong bases which generally has high pH properties. The anthocyanin compound in roselle extract is unstable at base pH. In addition, there are crucial parameters such as pH, viscosity and foam stability that must be eligible to be accepted as cleanser product for facial skin. This study aimed to obtain an optimal formula for clay facial soap containing roselle flower extract by optimizing concentration of surfactant SLES and KOH as soap-forming components. Soap basis was made by mixing the base with fatty acid phase. Design Expert 13 software, one-way ANOVA, and T-Test SPSS were used to design, analyze the effect and predict optimum mixed components in the formula so the final product met the ideal parameters. The data of study showed that the optimal formula of roselle flower clay facial soap should have 9.5% of SLES and 5.25% KOH with a desirability value of 1. The optimum formula had organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity and foam stability parameters that met the requirements.

Abstract

Digital construction has become an important strategy in promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations, especially in the context of infrastructure development. The purpose of this research is to discuss the development of Energy Harvesting (EH) technologies that have been investigated in infrastructure to date. By utilizing energy in the surrounding environment, EH technology offers great potential in reducing carbon emissions generated by infrastructure systems.  This study employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, involving a structured process of literature search in the Scopus database, selection based on abstracts and content relevance, and in-depth analysis of 27 qualified articles. This research discusses five of the most common EH technologies, namely photovoltaic, piezoelectric, thermoelectric, Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS), and Wind Energy Converter (WEC) technologies. Each technology was evaluated based on its application in infrastructure with a focus on the efficiency and effectiveness of the application of the technology. The results indicate that Photovoltaic and Piezoelectric technologies are the most ready for short-term implementation, while Thermoelectric and WEC technologies show strong long-term potential despite facing technical and economic challenges. Hybrid combinations of multiple technologies have also been proven to enhance efficiency compared to single systems. The harvested energy can be utilized for various infrastructure needs, such as street lighting and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems. This study recommends the application of hybrid technologies as a more efficient solution, tailored to the characteristics of the location and type of infrastructure. In addition, policy support and incentives are needed to accelerate the adoption of these technologies. By implementing these strategies, the construction industry can significantly contribute to achieving the UN's 2030 agenda for sustainable development.

Abstract

The tensile testing machine is a device used to characterize the mechanical properties of materials. Most tensile testing machines currently available are designed for high-capacity applications, such as testing metals and concrete, making them less suitable for testing composite and plastic materials. Therefore, a small-capacity tensile testing machine that is more flexible and efficient is needed for testing and educational purposes. This study aims to develop and improve the performance of a small-capacity tensile testing machine by enhancing its control system and human interface. Improvements include increasing the displacement sensor sensitivity from 200 mm to 50 mm, using a load cell with a more appropriate capacity (reduced from 2 tons to 1 ton), and adding a data logging feature via USB in text format. The test results indicate that the developed system is capable of performing tensile tests in accordance with ASTM D638 standards, with higher accuracy compared to the previous version. The implementation of the new control system also enables better data recording, thereby enhancing the machine's reliability as a tool for education and research.
