Emerging applications that exploit the properties of nanoparticles for biotechnology require that the nanoparticles be biocompatible or support biological recognition. These types of particles can be produced through syntheses that involve biologically relevant molecules (proteins or natural extracts, for example). Many of the protocols that rely on these molecules are performed without a clear understanding of the mechanism by which the materials are produced. We describe a single-pot reaction in which protein-templated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are produced as either solution-suspended colloids or as colloids formed within a solid, fibrous protein structure. We have investigated the mechanism for this process by detailing the reaction kinetics and outcomes through the use of 7 different proteins over a range of concentrations and temperatures. The key factor that controls the synthetic outcome (colloid or fiber) is the concentration of the protein relative to the gold concentration. We find that the observed fibrous structures are more likely to form at low protein concentrations and when hydrophilic proteins are used. An analysis of the reaction kinetics shows that AuNP formation occurs faster at lower protein (fiber-forming) concentrations than at higher protein (colloid-forming) concentrations. These results contradict expectations for reaction kinetics and protein-fiber formation, highlighting the need for a better understanding of the mechanism by which biomolecules can facilitate nanoparticle synthesis. As the protein properties that influence this mechanism are better recognized, researchers will be able to better utilize proteins to generate geometry-controlled AuNPs.
Comments on “Asynchronous Logic Implementation Based on Factorized DIMS”
Authors: Balasubramanian P
Published: July 2018

This research correspondence comments on “Asynchronous Logic Implementation Based on Factorized DIMS” [Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers, vol. 26, no. 5, pp. 1750087-1-1750087-9, May 2017] with respect to two problematic issues: i) the gate orphan problem implicit in the factorized DIMS approach discussed in the referenced article which affects its strong-indication, and ii) how the enumeration of product terms to represent the synthesis cost is skewed in the referenced article because the logic expression contains sum of products and also product of sums. It is observed that the referenced article has not provided a general logic synthesis algorithm excepting only an example illustration involving a 3-input AND logic function. The absence of a general logic synthesis algorithm would make it difficult to reproduce the research described in the referenced article. Moreover, the example illustration in the referenced article describes an unsafe quasi-delay-insensitive logic decomposition which is not suitable for the multi-level synthesis of strong-indication asynchronous circuits. Further, a logic synthesis method which safely decomposes the DIMS solution to synthesize multi-level strong-indication asynchronous circuits is available in the existing literature, which was neither cited nor taken up for comparison in the referenced article, which is another drawback. Subsequently, it is concluded that the referenced article has not advanced existing knowledge in the field but on the contrary, has caused confusions. Hence, in the interest of readers, this work additionally highlights some important and relevant literature which provide valuable information about robust asynchronous circuit synthesis techniques which employ delay-insensitive codes for data representation and processing and a 4-phase handshake protocol (return-to-zero) for data communication.
Vector Quantization using the Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm for Image Compression
Authors: Nag Sayan
Published: July 2018

Vector Quantization (VQ) is a popular image compression technique with a simple decoding architecture and high compression ratio. Codebook designing is the most essential part in Vector Quantization. Linde–Buzo–Gray (LBG) is a traditional method of generation of VQ Codebook which results in lower PSNR value. A Codebook affects the quality of image compression, so the choice of an appropriate codebook is a must. Several optimization techniques have been proposed for global codebook generation to enhance the quality of image compression. In this paper, a novel algorithm called IDE-LBG is proposed which uses Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm coupled with LBG for generating optimum VQ Codebooks. The proposed IDE works better than the traditional DE with modifications in the scaling factor and the boundary control mechanism. The IDE generates better solutions by efficient exploration and exploitation of the search space. Then the best optimal solution obtained by the IDE is provided as the initial Codebook for the LBG. This approach produces an efficient Codebook with less computational time and the consequences include excellent PSNR values and superior quality reconstructed images. It is observed that the proposed IDE-LBG find better VQ Codebooks as compared to IPSO-LBG, BA-LBG and FA-LBG.
Mechanical arm final paper

Published: July 2018

Muscular dystrophy is a disease that debilitates the muscle function of those afflicted with the disease. While it is a terminal condition, the early stages still prove to be a struggle. By weakening grip, strength, and reach, early muscular dystrophy makes it difficult for those with the disease to do everyday tasks. Our project is a solves these problems by giving those with muscular dystrophy a lightweight arm with a claw that opens and closes with a switch. This gives them an extended reach and relatively strong grip while minimizing strain on their arms.
Internal Lighting Alarm System for the Hearing Impaired

Published: July 2018

Those who are hard of hearing face challenges in their daily lives in answering audio alarms around them. The most common technologies for those with hearing disabilities are products that provide stimulus to the remaining senses to gain the user's attention and convey outside stimuli. The main problem with most of these available lighting technologies is that they usually indicate only specific stimuli such as a knock and only in one space such as the front door. Our technology seeks to bridge that gap between in-home alarms in appliances, like Microwave timers, and the lack of assistive technology available for those who are hard of hearing.
Predicting Liquefaction in Near-Real-Time (NRT): An Assessment of Geospatial vs. Geotechnical Models During the Canterbury Earthquakes
Authors: Maurer Brett
Published: July 2018

Semi-empirical models based on in-situ geotechnical tests have become the standardof practice for predicting soil liquefaction. Since the inception of the “simplified”cyclic-stress model in 1971, variants based on various in-situ tests have beendeveloped, including the Cone Penetration Test (CPT). More recently, predictionmodels based soley on remotely-sensed data were developed. Similar to systemsthat provide automated content on earthquake impacts, these “geospatial” modelsaim to predict liquefaction for rapid response and loss estimation using readilyavailabledata. This data includes (i) common ground-motion intensity measures(e.g., PGA), which can either be provided in near-real-time following an earthquake,or predicted for a future event; and (ii) geospatial parameters derived from digitalelevation models, which are used to infer characteristics of the subsurface releventto liquefaction. However, the predictive capabilities of geospatial and geotechnicalmodels have not been directly compared, which could elucidate techniques forimproving the geospatial models, and which would provide a baseline for measuringimprovements. Accordingly, this study assesses the realtive efficacy of liquefactionmodels based on geospatial vs. CPT data using 9,908 case-studies from the 2010-2016 Canterbury earthquakes. While the top-performing models are CPT-based, thegeospatial models perform relatively well given their simplicity and low cost.Although further research is needed (e.g., to improve upon the performance ofcurrent models), the findings of this study suggest that geospatial models have thepotential to provide valuable first-order predictions of liquefaction occurence andconsequence. Towards this end, performance assessments of geospatial vs.geotechnical models are ongoing for more than 20 additional global earthquakes
Boost Converter with Harvest Regulator Provides High-Efficiency Power Compression for Bio-Hybrid Fuel Cells and Other Weak Energy Sources
Authors: Mackie David M.
Published: July 2018

Applications for bio-hybrid fuel cells (BHFCs) and other weak energy sources would greatly benefit from highly-efficient power compression that substantially increased the voltage and also allowed intermittent draws of high current. The assumption of a weak energy source necessitates also minimizing parasitic energy draws. We present results for a power compressor composed of a boost converter (variable voltage upconversion), a harvest regulator (matching impedances on the fly), and a bank of low-leakage capacitors (high current draw for short times). The power compressor was not externally powered. Performance was evaluated while connected to two direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) in series, for periods of 3 and 10 days. The DEFCs' design was not optimized for power. They were non-flowing, room-temperature, air-cathode, PtRu/Pt units, which simulated the output of small BHFCs. The power compressor automatically kept the DEFCs close to the voltage yielding maximum power output, which was 400 mV for two DEFCs in series. The output voltage of the capacitor bank was repeatedly raised to 10.25 V and then discharged to 5 V through a resistor. Energy efficiency of the power compressor was uniformly 50%, except for very weak input power.

Mixedness Measurement in Gaseous Jet Injection
Authors: Shahsavan Martia , Mack John Hunter
Published: July 2018

In turbulent non-premixed combustion applications, such as diesel and direct injection engines, the mixedness of the injected fuel with oxygen and the working fluid inside the combustion chamber is a crucial parameter since it can significantly affect the ignition behavior. In this study, a comprehensive method for investigating mixedness, defined by spatial variation and scalar dissipation, is implemented to assess the turbulent injection of hydrogen into mixture of oxygen with nitrogen, argon, and xenon. Evaluating both criteria reflects the mixture homogeneity as well as local gradients, which aids in discriminating scalar distributions with identical homogeneity and different patterns. The results indicate that replacing nitrogen with argon as the working fluid can provide more suitable ignition conditions for the hydrogen jet.

Authors: Price Richard J.
Published: July 2018

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of brain tumors is complicated by heating of the skull. Here, our goal is to overcome this limitation by developing an ultrasound-microbubble-based therapeutic approach that complements HIFU by mechanically-damaging tumor tissue, occluding blood flow, and depositing 5-FU bearing controlled-release nanoparticles into brain tumors at reduced power levels. Experiments for monitoring nanoparticle delivery, blood flow changes, and tumor regression will be performed using tumors implanted in mouse dorsal skinfold window chambers. We anticipate these that studies will result in the successful development of a delivery method and agent(s) suitable for preclinical testing with HIFU.

Strategy to Increase Waste Handling Quantity and Quality Services and Waste Recovery, and to Decrease Uncontrolled Waste Flow into Environment (Indonesia cases)
Authors: Damanhuri Enri
Published: July 2018

Waste amounts increased rapidly with economic growth. Not all of the waste generated are collected by municipalities due to their ‘limited’ capacity. Most of the formal waste collection are initiated, managed and operated by community (role of RTs/RWs). Almost of the cities in Indonesia rely on landfilling technology to dispose their waste collected. Land for new waste disposal sites for MSW is becoming difficult. Most of the landfilling process is open dumping. Improvement of waste management is a key focus of the strategy.Some cities may have set a goal of reducing the amount of waste recovery and waste disposed off at the final disposal site in a target year.To achieve this, the city needs to measure based on an action plan that includes both community-based activities and the city government’s efforts to increase waste collection, and to introduce waste separation at home and operation of an intermediate treatment facility for waste reduction. The focus of the strategy should be: 1.How to increase the waste collection rate and services and to improve its quality2.How to increase the waste recovery and to improve the quality of recyclable materials3.How to reduce the uncontrolled waste (and its ‘derivatives’) flows into environment

Reading Habit in Digital Era: Indonesian People do not Like Reading, is it True?
Authors: Kurniasih Nuning
Published: July 2018

Various surveys indicate very low rates of reading interest in Indonesia. Then a question emerges; can printed books reading interest represent the overall reading habit? How is the contribution of reading through online media to the index of Indonesian reading interest? Digital era has changed society’s reading behavior. Thus, the parameters of reading interest need to be revised. There are at least five elements need to be considered in assessing reading interest in the digital era, namely (1) The Essence of Reading (2) The Technology Evolution (3) The Society Characteristic in Digital Era (4) Reading as Social Activity (5) Reading Behavior in Digital Era. However, there are some points need to be considered, namely: (1) Adequate infrastructure (2) Human resources capability (3) Reading sources. Considering the change of reading behavior, reading interest is not necessarily about how many books have been read, but also how many of information sources or online reading materials have been clicked, read, shared, discussed, saved or downloaded. It is the key for government or decision makers to provide good quality reading sources online and how is the contribution of reading through online media to the index of reading interest based on online readers needs, interests and behavior.

In the last few years, soil deterioration due to excessive application of synthetic agrochemical has become growing concern. Use of organic fertilizer is believed to be able to enhance soil quality. The objective of this experiment was to determine nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium uptakes by sweet corn as affected by local based liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) under closed agriculture system. The experiment was conducted in Closed Agriculture Production System (CAPS) Research Station in Air Duku Village, Bengkulu, Indonesia from March to June 2015, employing Randomized Completely Block Design with 2 factors. The first factor was 3 sweet corn genotypes, i.e. Talenta, Jambore, and Asian Honey and the second factor was 5 rates of LOF, i.e. 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg l-1, respectively. Each treatment combination was replicated 3 times. Foliar application of LOF was carried out every week at 2-8 weeks after planting (WAP) with total volume of 600 ml per plant. Sweet corn leaves were sampled at the beginning of tassel emergence. The experiment revealed that sweet corn genotype significantly influenced the uptake of nitrogen, but not phosphorus and potassium. It was observed that Asian Honey genotype absorbed highest nitrogen as compared to other genotypes. In addition, increase in rates of LOF significantly raised nitrogen uptake by sweet corn, but not phosphorus and potassium.
ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE SEQUESTRATION TROUGH KARST DENUDATION PROCESSES Estimated from Indonesian Karst Region
Authors: Haryono Eko
Published: July 2018

The important of karst denudation in term of climate changes lies on the ability of karst ecosystem inregulating atmospheric carbon. Karst denudation consumes CO2 either from atmosphere and soils. Thispaper is intended to describe the karst denudation related to CO2 sequestration and apply the concept tocalculate carbon gain through karst denudation process in Indonesian. Estimated from the carbonate rockoutcrops, the Indonesian karst region is approximately 140,000,000 km2. Previous work suggested thataverage denudation rate of Indonesian karst is 82.9 m3/year/km2 or equivalent to 218,856 kg/year/km2.Since 120 kg of atmospheric carbon is absorbed during the removal of one ton calcium carbonate removaland Indonesia karst area is 140.000 km2, Indonesian karst area up takes 3,677 Gg/year atmosphericcarbon. This amount is equivalent to 13.482 Gg CO2/year. This figure is merely from denudationprocesses, considering carbon dioxide sequestration by karst vegetation covers will inevitably gains muchhigher number. The role of karst denudation therefore needs more attention in carbon flux calculation anddeveloping climate change mitigation measures

Knowledge discovery is the process of adding knowledge from a large amount of data. The quality of knowledge generated from the process of knowledge discovery greatly affects the results of the decisions obtained. Existing data must be qualified and tested to ensure knowledge discovery processes can produce knowledge or information that is useful and feasible. It deals with strategic decision-making for an organization. Combining multiple operational databases and external data create the data warehouse. This treatment is very vulnerable to incomplete, inconsistent, and noisy data. Data mining provides a mechanism to clear this deficiency before finally stored in the data warehouse. This research tries to give technique to improve the quality of information in the data warehouse.
