The purpose of this study was to reveal the project-based learning model with conventional learning models of student learning outcomes. This type of research was quasi experimental research design. Quasi experiments used post-test only design with two random groups for experimental and control classes. The sample in this research was 64 students. The instrument used to measure student learning outcomes is a multiple choice objective test with five option. Data were analyzed using t test. The results of data analysis showed that there were significant differences in the learning outcomes of Electrical Machine and Conversion Energy subjects that were significant between students in the experimental class taught using the project based learning learning model for students in the control class taught by conventional learning models. The average value of experimental class is 82 is higher than the average control class is 73. Based on the above two learning activities, it can be concluded that using the project based learning model further improves students learning outcomes in Electrical Machine and Conversion Energy subjects compared with conventional methods of learning.

Rhodium oxides, including a misfitlayered structure with alternate stacking of a rock salttype layer and a hexagonal RhO2 layer, are expected to have good thermoelectric properties. Among them, the thermoelectric properties (electrical conductivity (σ), Seebeck coefficient (S), Figure of merit (ZT) and calculated thermal conductivity (κ) by S, σ, ZT, and absolute temperature (T)) of bismuth-based rhodium oxides ((Bi1-x,Pbx) 2Sr2Rh2Oy, x = 0 and 0.02, hereafter BSR and BPSR, respectively) were investigated. In comparison with Bi2Sr2Co2Oy (BSC) at 700°C, S and κ enhanced (increased S, 110 (BSR) and 105 μV K-1 (BPSR) from 85 μV K-1 (BSC) and decreased κ, 0.32 (BSR) and 0.50 W m-1 K-1 (BPSR) from 1.75 W m-1 K-1 (BSC)), whereas σ decreased (15 (BSR) and 31 S cm-1 (BPSR) from 70 S cm-1 (BSC)). BPSR reached the highest ZT value of 0.067 at 700°C, compared to those of 0.056 (BSR) and 0.027 (BSC).

Personality disorder is known as chronic psychological disorders. It is a serious problem of the individual character and behavior that affect work, family and social life of a person. In many cases, the possibility of people do not realize that they have a personality disorder as a way of thinking and behaving seems natural to the patient, and the patient may blame others. To diagnose a personality disorder early, it is necessary to develop a system that is able to predict personality disorders and recommendation type of therapy patients should undergo. Artificial Intelligence is a technique that is very popular today. Various kinds of approaches and algorithms can be applied in the world of health, such as expert systems, neural networks and fuzzy logic. The aim of this study is to assess the artificial intelligence approach in predicting and recommending the type of therapy for patients with personality disorders.

Maintenance and rehabilitation as parts of pavement's life cycle become more important since it's an effort to restore the road condition as planned. This process will produce the emission of greenhouse gases that give an impact to the environment. The Live Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used to estimate the GHG's emissions. With LCA we could identify the unit process that will produce the GHG's emissions during maintenance and rehabilitation of road pavement. This research aimed to identify the unit processes of the maintenance and rehabilitation of rigid and flexible pavement and to analyse the amount of GHG emitted during this process. Four local roads in Indonesia were investigated as case studies. The result indicated the amount of energy of the unit processes as well as the GHG amount. This will lead to the identification of the hotspot of flexible and rigid pavement maintenance process. In rigid pavement maintenance activities, the hotspots included the asphalt transport process to asphalt mixing plant, cement transportation to the batching plant, and cement processing. Meanwhile, in flexible pavement maintenance activities, the hotspots were the asphalt transportation to asphalt mixing plant, transportation aggregate, and transportation to site.

In this paper, we report the synthesis of K2O/Al2O3 for its application as a catalyst in the transesterification reaction for biodiesel production from rubber seed oil. So far, biodiesel production has been done through transesterification of vegetable oils through homogeneous catalysts, such as NaOH and KOH. Heterogeneous catalysts are more advantageous because they are easy to separate from the products, have less corrosion, and can be reused. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of potassium oxide alumina-supported (K2O/Al2O3) solid catalysts to convert rubber seed oil into biodiesel. The K2O/Al2O3 catalyst was synthesized by impregnating KOH on the support of Al2O3 through the inception wetness method. The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) to detect surface structure, composition, and active phase of the catalyst. EDX analysis indicated that the catalyst consisted of 36.41% potassium, 32.89%, and 30.7% oxygen. The reaction was conducted in a two-neck glass reactor at a temperature of 65°C, methanol to oil ratios of 10:1, during 1.5 h. The yield of biodiesel was achieved up to 96.9% at the ratio KOH: Al2O3 of 7.5: 2.5.

Blackwater is a type of domestic wastewater that must be processed before discharge into the river. This study uses gravel, sand, and charcoal as filtration materials which arranged from coarse to fine, and also wetland system using Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) and Cattail (Typha angustifolia). The treatment process is obtained by applying different treatments related to the sand thickness and blackwater residence time in the wetland. The focus of observation is emphasized on the measurement of BOD (Biological oxygen demand) and COD (Chemical oxygen demand). Both parameters measured and compared with the standard of water for agricultural purposes (Grade IV) regulated by Indonesian Government. The results showed that stratified filters can reduce the levels of BOD and COD effectively. The final results obtained after blackwater flowed through the wetland tube shows that BOD and COD levels have yet to meet the standard of grade IV water, although the overall result indicated the significant reduction of both parameters. This can be related to the input of organic matter from wetland itself, and it also can be considered an indication that blackwater treatment requires longer residence time.

This study aimed to devisea new design of domestic waste treatment which can produce an output of class IV water (irrigation water) based on measurement of TDS (Total Dissolved Solid) and TSS (Total Suspended Solid) parameters. The physical model tested in this research wasa stratified filter consisting of compositionsfrom coarse to fine materialsnamely gravel, charcoal and sand. Furthermore, filtering blackwater waste was refined by remediation with Cattail (Typha Angustifolia) and Vetiver (Vetiveria Zizanoides). The physical model of WWTP was set to 1:25 added by a stratified filter in the upstream section. Observations were done by measuring blackwater TDS levels prior to treatment, after going through a stratified filter, and after going through a remediation process with aquatic plants. The results showed that stratified filters and wetland can reduce TDS levels in blackwater until it reached the standard for irrigation water.

This paper presents a numerical and experimental study of increasing the performance coefficient (COP) of split AC (SAC) by reducing compressor work and increasing cooling capacity. Two phase ejector as an expansion device with a new design of dual evaporator temperature used. numerical methods apply the mathematical model developed in the EES software that is applied. Thermodynamic analysis is carried out to achieve ASHRAE Standard requirements for a minimum SAC with COP application of 3.5. The SAC system is filled with R-290 as a thermal fluid medium. Based on the simulation results a numerical model of the ejector is then produced and installed in a modified SAC system of cooling capacity of at least 9000 BTU/hour. An experimental test was conducted to investigate the actual performance of the ejector and its effect on the performance of the SAC system. The results showed that the two phase ejector with the new design of the dual evaporator temperature system was successful. When compared to standard split air conditioners using capillary tube expansion devices the tested ejector system contributes around 35% of power savings. The COP of the system can reach 5.5 which accounts for 39% of the increase in performance.
