This study was purposed to compare shear strength of box-section beams based on torsion test, and shear strength based on four point bending test. Eight beams for torsion test and nine beams for four point bending test of laminated Dendrocalamus Asper (Petung bamboo) bonded with 268 g/m 2 of urea formaldehyde were made for this research. The beams were engineered using cool-pressed by 2,0 MPa for 4 hours. The sizes of square-section of the beams are 80 mm, 120 mm, and 160 mm with 15 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm thick. Based on the torsion test, the research showed that the maximum shear stress was in the range of 4.39 MPa to 10.13 MPa with an average of 6.50 MPa. Shear modulus of the beam was in the range of 690.68 MPa to 1,072.28 MPa with the average of 902.10 MPa. Using four point bending test, the research results showed that the maximum shear stress was in the range of 2.86 MPa to 4.85 MPa with the average of 4.06 MPa. Modulus of elasticity of the beam was in the range of 11,363.37 MPa to 15,739.23 MPa with the average of 13,502.30 MPa. The maximum shear stress based on the torsion test was significantly differed to the maximum shear stress based on the four point bending test.

The small industry of tofu production process releases the waste water without being processed first, and the wastewater is directly discharged into water. In this study, Anaerobic Sequencing Batch Reactor in Pilot Scale for Treatment of Tofu Industry was developed through an anaerobic process to produce biogas as one kind of environmentally friendly renewable energy which can be developed into the countryside. The purpose of this study was to examine the fundamental characteristics of organic matter elimination of industrial wastewater with small tofu effective method and utilize anaerobic active sludge with Anaerobic Sequencing Bath Reactor (ASBR) to get rural biogas as an energy source. The first factor is the amount of the active sludge concentration which functions as the decomposers of organic matter and controlling selectivity allowance to degrade organic matter. The second factor is that HRT is the average period required substrate to react with the bacteria in the Anaerobic Sequencing Bath Reactor (ASBR).The results of processing the waste of tofu production industry using ASBR reactor with active sludge additions as starter generates cumulative volume of 5814.4 mL at HRT 5 days so that in this study it is obtained the conversion 0.16 L of CH4/g COD and produce biogas containing of CH4: 81.23% and CO2: 16.12%. The wastewater treatment of tofu production using ASBR reactor is able to produce renewable energy that has economic value as well as environmentally friendly by nature.

This paper presents an Ethernet sniffer programmed in ANSI C to export in an on-line way the electroencephalographic (EEG) data acquired with the device BrainNet36 ® , which is a Brazilian EEG device for clinical and polysomnography purposes. The sniffer proved to be useful for off-line analysis of the EEG and also for on-line applications, as Brain Computer-Interfaces (BCIs). Despite its limitations and packet losses at around 1.7% due to noise, the off-line analysis of the EEG successfully replicated results of the literature regarding the Event-Related (De)Synchronization (ERD/ERS) and Evoked Potentials (EPs) calculated for mental tasks. For on-line applications the sniffer was used to program a single-switch BCI for on-line classification of motor and no motor mental tasks with high success rate. Nowadays, the BrainNet36 ® device is being used for EEG research at many Brazilian universities, therefore, we hope that this article may encourage on-line applications. Finally, as the sniffer operation is explained here with examples, this text may serve as a reference guide for potential user's.

In this paper a flow inside a pipe is modeled by a hyperbolic system (written in terms of a partial differential equation). One boundary condition is given by the coupling with a finite-dimensional dynamic model of heating column and a static modeling of ventilator. Then, the classical finite-dimensional technique is applied for the linearization of first order hyperbolic systems with dynamics associated to the boundary conditions. The discretization of the infinite-dimensional system is used and an augmented discrete linear system with dimension depending on the step size of discretization in space is obtained. The results are illustrated on simulations considering a Poiseuille flow experimental setup.

Automatic plant identification via computer vision techniques has been greatly important for a number of professionals, such as environmental protectors, land managers, and foresters. In this paper, we conduct a comparative study on leaf image recognition and propose a novel learning-based leaf image recognition technique via sparse representation (or sparse coding) for automatic plant identification. In our learning-based method, in order to model leaf images, we learn an overcomplete dictionary for sparsely representing the training images of each leaf species. Each dictionary is learned using a set of descriptors extracted from the training images in such a way that each descriptor is represented by linear combination of a small number of dictionary atoms. Moreover, we also implement a general bag-of-words (BoW) model-based recognition system for leaf images, used for comparison. We experimentally compare the two approaches and show unique characteristics of our sparse coding-based framework. As a result, efficient leaf recognition can be achieved on public leaf image dataset based on the two evaluated methods, where the proposed sparse coding-based framework can perform better.

The document shows the methodology of how to improve the capture of the subsoil's heat due to solar radiation. It was divided in 4 sections: a proper selection of advanced climatic alternating system's capacity, a reduction in diameter and length of geothermal coil, the study of the speed heat gain in the subsoil and the thermal behavior as deposit of heat. The wet sand was suggested as the deposit of heat and a series of steps were set to evaluate 3 physical variables. The results show that 4 sections are closely related to improvement in the capture of the heat subsoil.

Automatic plant identification via computer vision techniques has been greatly important for a number of professionals, such as environmental protectors, land managers, and foresters. In this paper, a novel leaf image recognition technique via sparse representation is proposed for automatic plant identification. In order to model leaf images, we learn an overcomplete dictionary for sparsely representing the training images of each leaf species. Each dictionary is learned using a set of descriptors extracted from the training images in such a way that each descriptor is represented by linear combination of a small number of dictionary atoms. For each test leaf image, we calculate the correlation between the image and each learned dictionary of leaf species to achieve the identification of the leaf image. As a result, efficient leaf recognition can be achieved on public leaf dataset based on the proposed framework leading to a more compact and richer representation of leaf images compared to traditional clustering approaches. Moreover, our method is also adapted to newly added leaf species without retraining classifiers and suitable to be highly parallelized as well as integrated with any leaf image descriptors/features.

Embong Brantas Area in Malang is one of vulnerable areas to flood. Objectives of the research were to analyze: 1) the disaster risk at Embong Brantas Area, in which vulnerability and hazard are variables of the research, 2) social adaptation that applies variables of land status, length of stay, education, income, numbers of the family member, type of buildings, and experience in disaster. Based on result of the analysis using GIS, it shows that 1.2 ha of Embong Brantas Area has high risk of flood, particularly in the next 100 years. Based on multiple regression analysis, status of land has affected 0.216 on adaptation of settlement by the community at the flood plains.
