The optical frequency comb has become a standard for length and frequency measurements. Its pulsed laser can produce temporal coherence interference fringe patterns, and these fringes can be used as the length standard for practical measurement of absolute lengths. This research aims to develop a measuring system for coordinate measuring machine (CMM) verification, which can be used to measure the absolute length of a target in three dimensions. Thus, a spherical target has been considered. A ball lens with a refractive index of 2.0 has been selected as the target for the interferometer in this study. Using the ball lens target, the absolute length can be measured up to 10 m, covering the medium- to large-sized range of CMM applications. The experimental results demonstrate that the measurement uncertainty is smaller than that of the artifact test. In addition, the measurement time of the proposed method is 60% less than that of the artifact-test method.

Recently, the production of silicon wafers 450 mm in diameter has begun. However, a precise method for warp measurement of 450 mm wafers has not yet been established. Hence, the authors have developed a four-point-support inverting method to measure the warp shapes of large diameter wafers with high accuracy. The principle of this measurement method is equivalent to that for the three-point-support inverting method developed for warp measurement of 300 mm wafers. In the four-point-support inverting method, surface shape measurement can be performed with decreased deflection due to gravity using an additional central support. In this study, the principle of the proposed measurement method was verified experimentally. It was found that the four-point-support inverting method could measure the warp of a 300 mm wafer with high accuracy, equivalent to that of the three-point-support inverting method. However, in this experiment, a steel ball was used for additional support which caused concern regarding damage to the wafer surface at the point of contact with the support. Hence, a noncontact support method using an air bearing was proposed. It was found that the noncontact support method could measure the warp with accuracy equivalent to the contact support method described previously. Moreover, this study demonstrates the superiority of the four-point-support method to the three-point-support method regarding the repeatability of the warp measurement.

Optical energy propagates along metal surfaces as collective oscillations of free electrons when those surfaces are irradiated with optical waves in accordance with the resonant condition. The oscillations with electrical fields are called surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and are used in medium sensors. Here, using SPPs, the flow of a liquid–liquid two-phase fluid is visualized, and the flow-rate distribution is derived. A channel on a silver-film surface deposited on a glass slide is filled with an ethanol aqueous solution. SPPs are excited on the silver surface by a helium–neon laser. Then, water is injected into the channel in a laminar flow. As the water approaches the silver surface, the SPP excitation is disturbed. This disturbance is observed as decreasing reflectance, from which we can estimate the distance between the water layer and the silver surface. The method does not require any tracer particles or coloring even though the sample fluids are clear and colorless.

This paper presents a technique that employs a stroboscopic oblique-incidence interferometer to visualize the motion of a vibrating object with a rough surface. An oblique-incidence interferometer is well suited to the analysis of a rough surface and micro displacement because light-scattering is reduced when a surface is rough. However, when continuous light is used, the fringe pattern on the vibrating surface in the ultrasonic region can not be observed for the analysis of a micrometer resolution profile. To overcome this problem, pulsed light synchronized with a vibrating sample is employed as a light source using an acousto-optic modulator (AOM). The timing between the vibrating sample and the observation light is controlled using a common oscillator, so that the time-resolved behavior of the stator can be measured. We successfully detect the periodic movement of a fringe pattern for a vibrating ultrasonic motor using the interferometer.

Published: August 2017

This study explores the effects of recruitment, selection, competence and national policies to the changing conditions in Indonesia. 530 respondents from 25 provinces or 50 regencies/cities across Indonesia participated in questionnaire pools in the study. Data were processed using path analysis technique. Results reveal that the recruitment process by political parties, the selection process by the Election Commission, and the competence of the  leader, have positive correlations to the policies and the outcomes. The study highlights that without any improvements in the recruitment, selection, competency of leaders, and policies, no changes could be made by the leaders. It implies that a redefinition and actualization of recruitment, selection, competence, and policies should be made to ensure the changes to take place.

Indonesia memiliki potensi daya tarik wisata cukup banyak seperti sumber daya alam, keragaman hayati, dan berbagai nilai budaya yang tersebar di berbagai kawasan nusantara.  Realitas ini mencerminkan bahwa Indonesia memiliki prospek untuk dapat dikembangkan sebagai model pengelolaan ekowisata. Pantai Pink Lombok merupakan salah satu dari 11 destinasi wisata pantai di Lombok Timur yang memiliki keindahan alam dan keunikan pasirnya yang berwarna merah muda (Dinas Pariwisata Lombok Timur, 2009). Hutan lindung Sekaroh adalah hutan lindung yang berada di daerah jalan menuju Pantai Pink (bila mengambil alternatif jalur darat melalui Desa Sekaroh). Banyaknya kunjungan dan aktifitas wisatawan domestik dan mancanegara akan membawa dampak negatif terhadap kelestarian lingkungan di sekitar pantai. Adanya alih fungsi lahan untuk pembangunan berbagai fasilitas yang mendukung pariwisata serta pola pemanfaatan sumber daya oleh masyarakat dan pemerintah pun belum sepenuhnya dapat mendukung kelestarian lingkungan serta konservasi hutan lindung di kawasan objek wisata Pantai Pink. Ekowisata menjadi alternatif dalam mengurangi dampak negatif yang terjadi. Ekowisata memberikan peluang untuk mendapatkan keuntungan bagi penyelenggara, pemerintah dan masyarakat setempat, melalui kegiatan-kegiatan yang non-ekstraktif dan non-konsumtif sehingga meningkatkan perekonomian daerah setempat. Penyelenggaraan yang memperhatikan kaidah-kaidah ekowisata, mewujudkan ekonomi berkelanjutan.  Identifikasi potensi objek wisata Pantai Pink sebagai target ekowisata sangat diperlukan dalam pengembangan pariwisata lingkungan (ekowisata) yang mendukung upaya pelestarian lingkungan (alam dan budaya) dan konservasi, yang melibatkan dan menguntungkan masyarakat setempat, serta menguntungkan secara komersial.

Responsible environmental behavior is assumed to be significantly affected bay oneâ€™s knowledge of the environment, the local wisdom, locus of control motivation farming. The study reported here aimed to examine how the four independent variables actually affected the level of farmersâ€™ responsible behavior towards environment. The causal and multidimensional social study was conducted in the Soppeng Regency of South Sulawesi from July 2009 to October 2009, trough a survey to the paddy farmers in the Liliriaja District. A sample of 120 farmers was made up 30 randomly selected farmers from each of the four purposefully selected sub districts in Liliriaja: Appanang, Galung, Rompegading and Jampu. The data of each variable were collected separately with a questionnaire. A path technique, which was preceded by normality and variance homogeneity tests, was employed to analyze the data descriptively and inferentially. The results proved that the farmersâ€™ farming motivation and their responsible environmental behavior, respectively, was directly affected by their knowledge of the environment, the local wisdom, and the locus of control. The three independent variables also indirectly affected the farmersâ€™ responsible environmental behavior through their motivation in farming. These findings suggest that the variables of environmental knowledge, local wisdom, locus of control and the farmersâ€™ motivation in farming are important determinants of their responsible environmental behavior. Variation in the farmersâ€™ responsible environmental behavior may therefore be minimized by improved knowledge of the environment, local wisdom, locus of control and farming motivation.

Influence of Finite Hydraulic-Fracture Conductivity on Unconventional Hydrocarbon Recovery With Horizontal Wells
Authors: Mao Deming , Miller David S. , Karanikas John M. , Lake Ed A. , Fair Phillip S. , Liu Xin
Published: August 2017

The classic plots of dimensionless fracture conductivity (CfD) vs. equivalent wellbore radius or equivalent negative skin are useful for evaluating the performance of hydraulic fractures (HFs) in vertical wells targeting conventional reservoirs (Prats 1961; Cinco-Ley and Samaniego-V. 1981). The increase in well productivity after hydraulic stimulation can be estimated from the “after fracturing” effective wellbore radius or from the “after fracturing” equivalent negative skin. However, this earlier work does not apply to the case of horizontal wells with multiple fractures. A revision of the diagnostic plots is needed to account for the combination of the resulting radial-flow regime and the transient effect in unconventional reservoirs with ultralow permeability. This paper reviews and extends this earlier work with the objective of making it applicable in the case of horizontal wells with multiple fractures. It also demonstrates practical application of this new technique for fracture-design optimization for horizontal wells.

The influence of finite fracture conductivity (FC) on the HF flow efficiency is evaluated through analytical models, and it is confirmed by a 3D transient numerical-reservoir simulation. This work demonstrates that a redefined dimensionless fracture conductivity for horizontal wells CfD,h = 4 is found to be optimal by use of the maximum of log-normal derivative (subject to economics) for HFs in horizontal wells, and this value of CfD,h can provide 50% of the fracture-flow efficiency and 90% of the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) that would have been obtained from an infinitely conductive fracture for the same production period. This new master plot can provide guidance for hydraulic-fracturing design and its optimization for hydrocarbon recovery in unconventional reservoirs through hydraulic fracturing in horizontal wells.

Cooperative Learning to Enhance Horticulture Skills and Raise Funds for Professional Development
Authors: Pearson Brian J. , Moore Kimberly , Barrett James
Published: August 2017

Increased global trade coupled with diversified employment opportunities have generated demand for college graduates to possess enhanced interpersonal and foreign communication skills and a well-developed understanding of foreign culture. Horticultural employment opportunities also require students to possess a mastery of horticultural theory with an established record of direct, hands-on experience. Despite these needs, financial limitations of students and academic departments coupled with a lack of available opportunities may restrict students from developing these critical skills. Through development of cooperative learning programs, students have an opportunity to master and refine their horticultural skills while simultaneously raising funds, which are allocated for professional development including an international learning program. This article provides a successful overview of a student-based cooperative learning program that enhances student learning opportunities.

Published: August 2017

Electric lamps are widely used to supplement sunlight (supplemental lighting) and daylength extension (photoperiodic lighting) for the production of horticultural crops in greenhouses and controlled environments. Recent advances in light-emitting diode (LED) technology now provide the horticultural industry with multiple lighting options. However, growers are unable to compare technologies and LED options because of insufficient data on lamp performance metrics. Here, we propose a standardized product label that facilitates the comparison of lamps across manufacturers. This label includes the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) efficacy, PAR conversion efficiency, photon flux density output in key wave bands, as well as the phytochrome photostationary state (PSS), red/far red ratio, and graphs of the normalized photon flux density across the 300–900 nm wave band and a horizontal distribution of the light output.

Published: August 2017

The purpose of this study was to determine college students’ understanding of invasive species and their support for plant and animal pest control and eradication methods. Surveys were administered at a university and community college in Texas in biology and agriculture departments. A total of 533 respondents participated in the study. Most students said they were not part of any type of environmental organization and felt they were not very informed about invasive species issues. More students reported learning about invasive species in high school than in college courses. The average score on knowledge questions related to invasive and native plants and animals was 32%. Most students underestimated the negative impact of invasive species but many were aware of costs to manage those species. Reliable reported sources of information included environmental organizations, college courses, and the Internet. Pearson product-moment correlations showed positive relationships between students who had college class instruction regarding invasive species and positive attitudes toward management of invasive species. Positive relationships were also found between instruction and an awareness of invasive plants or animals. Respondents who were knowledgeable of invasive species in the community had more positive attitudes toward the management of invasive species. In demographic comparisons, differences were found with males, upperclassmen, and those identifying as Caucasian or other having more knowledge of invasive species and more positive attitudes toward their management.

Authors: Wijayanto Pikir Wisnu
Published: August 2017

This study aims at examining the meaning of  text in detail through metafunctions  analysis with appraisal systems. The appraisal system is deployed in order to explore texts in detail from the perspectives of discourse semantics developed by James Martin and David Rose (2003). The data is taken from the opinion article column of the Jakarta Post (a national English newspaper in Indonesia), published on Thursday, October 23rd, 2014. The article entitled “A Human Rights Memorial: Jokowi and the Sorcerer’s Stone” written by Barikatul Hikmah. According to the appraisal systems of attitude text, the writer uses more positive option for affect the reader than the negative options. The dominant positive options are used in order to express the writer’s opinions, suggestions, and expectation to the Jokowi’s government, in term of Jokowi’s commitment to human rights enforcement and the importance of building a human rights memorial. The direct opinion for affect in emotional states category used around 13 expressions, and 4 words and phrases for showing the physical expressions. The implicit opinion of clause used in this article consist of 2 extraordinary behavior expressions and 3 metaphors expressions. In the amplifying of (gradable) attitudes text, the article is expressing the force of attitudes (intensifiers) that make it possible for us to compare things or to say how strongly we feel about someone or something by making comparison to others. Related to the source of attitude analysis, the text is a narrative with some clauses containing the affect values. The writer can be said to be fully responsible for all of the evaluation, and the sources of attitudes are attributable to the writer’s expectation.
WRITER’S WAYS TO INTERACT WITH READERS IN THE TEXTS WRITTEN BY THE STUDENTS OF ENGLISH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IN MURIA KUDUS UNIVERSITY
Authors: Perwikasih Utari Aisyah Ririn
Published: August 2017

Written text is more complex than spoken text. The interac- tion between the sender and the receiver are not intensively reached. Readers can only give response without being known by the writer. This is why the writer should write the text in some consideration of leading the readers to read further or even give comments. This research is a qualitative research, which aims to ﬁnd out the writer’s way to interact with readers in four components: 1) clause structure, 2) terms of address, 3) modality, 4) evaluating phenomena. The data of the research is the writer’s way of interacting with readers and the source is the texts written by the students of English Education Department in Muria Kudus University. The result of the research covers that most of the writers use statements and questions as the clause structure. The terms of address used are “we”, “you”, and “I”. The modality which is mostly used is medium degree such as “can”. The evaluating phenomena are about the sharing of life ex- perience. There are some other ways of  writer’s interaction with readers through texts that can be conducted in the next research.

Authors: Sembiring Lina Tri Astuty Beru
Published: August 2017

This study was aimed to investigate the kinds of grammatical errors made by English Foreign language learners in presenting storytelling. Since the students were learners who came from a multilingual community, the errors they made were affected by the structure of their daily language form. In this study, students were required to produce a story based on the book “Frog where are you” written by Marcel Mayer. This book contains 29 pictures which tell a story without any texts on it. The writer then audiotaped students’ storytelling and then made a transcription. The storytelling presentations of 5 students of English Departement of Universitas Dehasen Bengkulu were investigated by using the surface structure taxonomy of errors namely, misformation, misordering, addition, and omission. Findings indicated that omission was the highest kind of errors accounted on the total grammatical errors made by the students. It then followed by misformation, addition and also misordering.

Published: August 2017

Teaching English in High School level (Junior High School and Senior High School) is more exposed in reading and writing skills for the target of final examination (UN).Consequently, students need to sharpen their reading and writing ability. It also must be done by students in a non-formal Senior High School known as KejarPaket C without any exception. Improving reading skill can be done through doing more reading activities in various types of text. This activity will add students’ vocabularies and their knowledge about more topics of the texts. Besides, the way teachers deliver the material deals with techniques, methods, or strategies also contributes in students’ progress of reading skill. Seeing the background of students in KejarPaket C who have various backgrounds and mostly are from low economic level or less motivated students for studying, teachers should concern more in exposing the material through the appropriate and effective technique. Carter (2001) brings an idea about a technique which teacher and students are taking place in dialogue and it resulted in students learning how to construct meaning when they are placed in must-read situations (tests or assignments). This was experimental research which was conducted to find the difference of students’ reading proficiency taught by using a technique called Reciprocal. The study found that the technique contributed significantly in improving students’ reading proficiency after they were taught by using Reciprocal. In brief, Reciprocal technique is an effective way to improve students’ reading proficiency.
Grammatical Intricacy on Students’ Writing
Authors: Ma'mun Nadiah
Published: August 2017

Grammatical intricacy refers to how often a clause complex in a text in comparison with simple clauses. It is accepted that any text has a different level of intricacy (complexity). This is all related to how much information is introduced in a clause complex which can contain more than one simple clause. Classification of clauses (sentences) applies to the determination of grammatical intricacy (complexity) of a text. If in a text there are more clause complexes than simple clauses, it can be said that the text is more complex in the sense that it presents more information in a condensed way. Consequently, learners are potential to encounter problems. The concept of this article only focuses on the paratactic clause, hypotactic clause construction and the combination among clause constructions used by students.

Authors: Gülbaz Sezar , Kazezyılmaz-Alhan Cevza Melek
Published: August 2017

Recent techniques should be investigated in detail to avoid present and future problems of urbanization like flood, drought and water pollution. Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practices (BMPs) such as bioretentions, green roofs, rain barrels, vegetative swales, and permeable pavements have been implemented to diminish the adverse effects of urbanization. In this study, a hydrological model for a Rainfall-Watershed-Bioretention (RWB) system is developed by using the Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model (EPA SWMM). RWB system is an experimental setup which consists of an artificial rainfall system, a drainage area and four bioretention columns with different soil mixtures. The hydrological modeling capability of SWMM for bioretentions is presented using the experimental data obtained from the experiments conducted in the RWB system under different rainfall events and for bioretentions with different designs. Finally, the modeling results of SWMM are compared with the results of the Hydrological Model of RWB (HM-RWB) system. Results show that EPA SWMM performs well in modeling bioretentions whereas the results of HM-RWB are in better agreement with the experimental data.

Technology development causes a human oriented design to be forgotten all over the world. In housing design, one of the important factors for human-oriented design is Climate comfort. Today similar architectural patterns in different climate regions in Iran, can't provide residents comfort. While vernacular housing architecture of Iran had different patterns for providing climate comfort in different regions. The aim of this paper is to suggest some solutions to enhance the level of comfort in today's housing of Iran. This paper compares contemporary and vernacular houses of Iran in terms of climate comfort by using description and case study analysis methods.Keywords: comfort; climate comfort; contemporary housing; vernacular housing2398-4295 © 2017 The Authors.

The study of household behaviour towards debt is important in this challenging financial environment. Escalating household debt can cause social and economic problems. For the past few years Malaysia has emerged as the highest household debt country in the ASEAN region. Therefore this study aims to examine the predictors of intention to incur household debt among Malaysian households. Analysis on 100 usable questionnaires in the pilot study revealed financial literacy and subjective norm as significant predictors of attitude and the mediating relationship between attitude and intention to incur on household debt was found to be negatively significant.Keywords: Household behaviour; household debt; financial environment; financial literacy2398-4295 © 2017 The Authors.

Direitos humanos e teoria dos sistemas autopoiéticos: da desconstrução do sujeito moderno a uma epistemologia baseada no social
Authors: Fornasier Mateus De Oliveira , Flores Luis Gustavo Gomes
Published: August 2017

O objeto de estudo deste artigo é a relação entre a desconstrução do sujeito moderno e a teoria dos sistemas sociais autopoiéticos, delimitado às consequências teóricas de tal relação à epistemologia dos Direitos Humanos. Seu objetivo geral é apresentar aspectos importantes para a viabilidade e relevância da Teoria dos Sistemas Sociais Autopoiéticos para observação dos Direitos Humanos, a partir do deslocamento das reflexões jurídicas do sujeito para a ideia de sistema social. Seus objetivos específicos são: i) elucidar as origens do paradigma moderno fundado no sujeito para a compreensão do mundo, e seu respectivo enfraquecimento; ii) apresentar a possibilidade de construção dos Direitos Humanos para além do indivíduo, acentuando a teorização da sociedade enquanto sistema social; iii) apresentar como se pode observar os Direitos Humanos a partir da teoria dos sistemas autopoiéticos. Metodologicamente, inicia-se com a desconstrução da noção moderna de sujeito, partindo-se, logo após, para a observação sistêmico-construtivista dos Direitos Humanos, a partir de conceitos-chave da teoria dos sistemas autopoiéticos – em especial, sistema social, diferenciação funcional, comunicação e complexidade. Seu método de abordagem é monográfico, e sua técnica, bibliográfica. Como resultado da pesquisa, tem-se que a teoria dos sistemas autopoiéticos se apresenta adequada e inovadora para a observação dos direitos humanos numa sociedade complexa, em que se deve considerar não apenas o sujeito como detentor de direitos e possibilidades, mas sim, sua inclusão/exclusão dos sistemas comunicativos.
