Abstract

In the recent past, there has been a growing need for ultra-low latency and high-data-rate communication. In Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) communication, the channel capacity and accuracy of transmission are significantly affected by interferences, lowering the Quality of Service (QoS). An intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) has risen as a potential solution to challenges associated with NLOS communication including low data rate, multipath fading, and high BER. However, to leverage the performance gains of the IRS, effective and highly accurate channel estimation is crucial as it facilitates optimal phase shift optimization. This work investigated the performance of four main channel estimation algorithms in an IRS-aided system; LS, DD, DFT, and MMSE in terms of their BERs and effects on the convergence behavior of the Stochastic Convex Approximation (SCA) algorithm following the Armijo rule. Results indicate that in cases without statistical knowledge of the channel, the DD method provides the best performance. This work shows that the communication needs, complexity, and accuracy should be carefully considered when selecting the channel estimation method for IRS-aided communication systems.

Abstract

Agarwood oil extraction is a crucial process in the agarwood industry. However, this extraction is seldom performed by communities due to its lack of profitability and the extensive duration of the process. This study aims to investigate innovative techniques such as ultrasonic and microwave-assisted maceration to enhance the yield of agarwood oil extraction. Additionally, it seeks to calculate the efficiency of time and cost by determining the life cycle cost of agarwood oil extraction. The methodology employed in this study involved conducting extractions using ultrasonic-assisted maceration, microwave-assisted maceration, and a combination of ultrasonic and microwave-assisted maceration. The results indicated that the extraction method yielding the highest output utilized a combination of microwave-assisted maceration for 3 minutes and ultrasonic-assisted maceration for 60 minutes, producing a yield of 0.15%. When extrapolated to 24 hours, this method would yield 18 grams of agarwood oil extract with an additional cost of Rp13,037. In contrast, the solvent maceration process using microwaves yielded 0.096% of agarwood oil at a lower cost of Rp3,190, producing 12 grams of extract over a 24-hour extraction period. the compounds that make up the composition of agarwood oil are 2-((2S,4aR)-4a,8-Dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,7-octahydro-naphthalen (11.38%), Hydrocinnamic acid (11.13%), Hydrocinnamic acid (11.13%) and (3R,3aR,4aS,5R,9aS)-3,5,8-Trimethyl-3a,4,4a,5,6,7,9,9a-octahydro (10.90%).

Abstract

Fuzzy logic is a logic that has values of fuzziness or ambiguity between true and false. Values in fuzzy logic typically range from 0 to 1. The theory of fuzzy logic is widely used for control systems in various fields. An automatic flower irrigation system is an automated watering device that can be operated with fuzzy logic. In this research, there are two main parameters: temperature and humidity. For the temperature parameter, five linguistic variables are used: cold, cool, normal, warm, and hot. Meanwhile, for soil moisture, three linguistic variables are used: dry, moist, and wet. The results of this research are the maximum setting points obtained according to the rules that have been defined. In this study, the maximum setting point is achieved with a high temperature and low humidity. The difference in output between the Mamdani and Sugeno methods is not very significant. The Mamdani method produces real number values, while the Sugeno method produces integer values. This difference is due to several factors, one of which is the difference in the use of formulas in the defuzzification process of each method.

Abstract

Cleaner production is an environmental management strategy that is preventive, integrated and continuously applied to every process. The urea fertilizer industry certainly produces waste and allows for problems or constraints in the processing process. This study aims to obtain a cleaner production strategy to increase the efficiency of urea production. This research was studied at a urea factory in Sumatera with a high production capacity of 114,584 kg/hour. The cleaner production strategy was preventive maintenance for the CO2 compressor (B/C 1.91), cleaning demister on dust recovery prilling tower (B/C 3.62), making automatic door closer (B/C 84,54), addition wire mesh on air exhaust (B/C 91,96), add a condensate drop container overall (B/C 1,51) and make repairs to existing dehumidifier in bulk storage (B/C 30,94). Determining the priority of cleaner production alternatives using the MPE method results in the highest priority net production alternative being making automatic doors closer. If all alternatives are implemented, there will be savings in energy consumption of 2.052 kWh/tonne/day. Percentage of urea and NH3 loss can be reduced up to 20% so that the prilling unit production efficiency increased by 0.24% and the savings to be obtained range from 620 thousand - 45 billion rupiah/year.

Abstract

Organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposite is currently in the fore front of research because it is ecofriendly, safe, cost effective, methodologically facile and effective for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. In this study, hybrid Ag@rice leaf extract/rice leaf biochar nanocomposite (Ag@RLEBN) was hydrothermally fabricated for the degradation of MB and denaturation of microorganisms. To understand the mechanisms between Ag@RLEBN and MB/microorganism, the physicochemical analysis, reusability, photocatalytic degradation parameters and microbial inhibition diameter were investigated. The obtained results revealed Ag@RLEBN as face centered cubic crystalline structure with crystallite size of 27.5 nm. The band gap energy of rice leaf biochar (RLB) and Ag@RLEBN was 1.9 and 1.8 eV respectively. Photocatalytic degradation of 99.7% was obtained at initial MB concentration of 0.0001M, 5 mg of Ag@RLEBN and 60 min exposure to sunlight. The main mechanism in control of the degradation of MB was electrostatic attraction, complexation, cationic exchange, ???, n??, and hydrogen bonding. Accessing the reusability of Ag@RLEBN indicated less than 2.05% degradation efficiency disparity after five cycle reuse. The Ag@RLEBN showed high antimicrobial inhibition effectiveness against salmonella (10 nm), Klebsiella (12 nm) and staph aureus (8nm). Therefore, Ag@RLEBN is effective for the removal of MB and microbial decontamination.

Abstract

The investigation of radiated magnetic field intensity in switchyards is of paramount important, so spot measurement procedure was used to detect the levels of magnetic field by placing the detachable sensor of Extech 480826 Triple-Axis metre on ‘constructed stand’ with three reference heights of 1.0, 1.5 and 1.8 m. Instant coordinates of position was simultaneously recorded at each spot during the process of measurements. The analysis revealed locations significant differences of p = 0.027, p = 0.016 and p = 0.023 for the respective reference heights (1.0, 1.5 and 1.8 m). Shiroro and Kainji transmission switchyards mean ELF magnetic field were significant at each height when analysed using least significant differences pairwise comparison. However, non-significant differences between Jebba with Shiroro and also Kainji transmission switchyards were noticed. Further assessment of ELF magnetic field through 2D profiling of height levels in the transmission switchyards display similar drifting path with slight differences and locations with high intensity detected from the plots. The level of instant nonuniformity in mean magnetic field distribution at the switchyards during the duration of the measurements have been revealed by this research and also irregular exposure encountered by workers across height standing at a spot exposed.

Abstract

Citrus fruit is a fruit that is favored by the public. The quality of the fruit from the garden to the consumer goes through a long process. Generally, the quality of the fruit is evaluated by a visual judgment ratio that can be wrong. This method also only evaluates the external quality of the fruit. The internal quality of the fruit such as sugar content is determined by a refractometer which belongs to the destructive method, and is not suitable for online quality measurement. A non-destructive and objective method to evaluate the quality of citrus fruits is needed. Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) method can be used in non-destructive investigation. In this study, a non-destructive measurement of pamelo orange fruit was developed. The impedance change of pamelo citrus fruits during ripening was observed over a period of one week. The impedance of pamelo orange fruit was measured by AD5933 evaluation board and then the measurement data was analyzed by EIS Spectrum Analyzer software. Frequency-related electrical characteristics were observed, the results showed that the electrical impedance decreased and the phase increased
