Pengaruh Suhu dan Laju Alir Pengeringan pada Pembuatan Tepung Jagung Manis Menggunakan Tray Dryer
Authors: Prasetyaningsih Yusi
Published: September 2018

Jagung merupakan salah satu komoditas pangan yang banyak terdapat di Indonesia. Pada tahun 2014, produksi jagung mengalami kenaikan sebesar 2,81% yaitu mencapai 19,03 juta ton. Hingga saat ini pemanfaatan jagung terbatas karena pengolahan yang belum tepat sehingga banyak produksi jagung yang diekspor ke luar negeri, dengan negara tujuan ekspor terbesar adalah Filipina sebesar 16,51%. Salah satu usaha yang dapat dilakukan untuk mengolah jagung adalah dengan membuatnya menjadi tepung. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan proses pengeringan jagung menjadi tepung dengan menggunakan variasi suhu 50oC, 60oC, 70oC dan 80oC serta laju alir 1,5 m/s, 2,5 m/s dan 3 m/s. Jagung basah yang sudah ditimbang, dicuci dan diiris tipis, lalu dimasukkan ke dalam ram kawat pada tray dryer. Setiap 30 menit diamati penyusutan beratnya dan dilakukan hingga mencapai berat konstan. Setelah itu jagung diblender agar menjadi bentuk tepung dan dianalisa kadar air, kadar abu dan kadar protein pada tepung jagung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, kadar air pada suhu 600C dan 700C diperoleh kadar air masing-masing sebesar 10% dan telah memenuhi nilai SNI yaitu maksimal 10 %. Untuk analisis kadar abu pada suhu 500C diperoleh hasil sebesar 1,38% yang memenuhi SNI, yaitu maksimal 1,5 %. Analisis kadar protein pada laju alir 1,5 m/s diperoleh hasil sebesar 7,98% sedangkan laju alir 2,5 m/s didapatkan nilai 7,54%. Kedua kadar tersebut lebih besar dari nilai SNI yaitu minimal 7,0 %.

Within-trial variability improves rule-based, not information-integration, category learning
Authors: Roark Casey L , Holt Lori L.
Published: September 2018

Categorization is a critical component of cognition and contributes to many complex processes, including speech perception. High variability within the environment is thought to initially slow learning while increasing the ability to generalize to novel exemplars. However, little is understood about the mechanisms driving this benefit of variability. The current study investigates the effect of pairing within-category variability with response and feedback within single category-learning trials. Participants who learned categories defined by boundaries orthogonal to the category dimensions—rule-based categories—had superior learning and were better able to generalize to novel exemplars when they were trained with within-trial variability compared to when only a single exemplar was presented on each trial. In contrast, participants who learned categories defined by boundaries involving reliance on both category input dimensions—information-integration categories—showed no enhancement of learning from within-category variability. This draws a distinction between overall variability in the acoustic environment and variability more tightly coupled with response and feedback. The influence of variability as experienced within a single trial differs substantially depending on the nature of the category learning challenge. The results have implications for learning speech categories and for further understanding the mechanisms that contribute to auditory category learning.
Rare preference effect: Statistical information influences interpersonal attraction
Authors: Vélez Natalia , Bridgers Sophie Elizabeth Colby , Gweon Hyowon
Published: September 2018

Shared preferences---liking the same things---facilitate and strengthen bonds between individuals. However, not all shared preferences are equally meaningful; sharing a rare preference with someone is often more exciting and meaningful than sharing a common preference. Here we present evidence for the rare preference effect: Participants chose to interact with (Experiment 1), and endorsed interactions between (Experiment 2), individuals who shared a rare preference, rather than those who shared a common preference, and this tendency increased with the relative rarity of the preference. While having a preference usually implies knowing and liking something, the presence of shared knowledge alone was sufficient to give rise to the rare preference effect (Experiments 3 & 4). Further, we find that social affiliation judgments are modulated by the causal process by which individuals came to have shared knowledge: Participants preferred to interact with someone who acquired a shared preference deliberately rather than accidentally (Experiment 5). In addition to the many cultural and emotional factors that drive mutual attraction, these results suggest that people's decisions about with whom to interact are systematically influenced by the statistics of the social environment.

Effects of high intensity deadlift on standing long jump ability
Authors: Whiting Teag , Bishop Alan , Harris Chad , Berning Joseph , Adams Kent J. , DEBELİSO Mark
Published: September 2018

Post activation potentiation (PAP) is an acute enhancement of muscular function subsequent to an intense muscle conditioning activity. Practical application of PAP as a physical preparation for enhanced performance is a topic of considerable interest in the sport performance community. The purpose of this study was to determine if a dynamic warm-up (WU) plus a progression of deadlift (DL) sets culminating in a one-repetition maximum DL (1-RM DL) (i.e., a PAP conditioning activity) is more effective in improving the standing long jump (SLJ) as opposed to using a dynamic WU alone. Secondarily, it was of interest to determine if there was a meaningful relationship between the 1-RM DL and SLJ ability.  Twenty NCAA Division I male North American football players participated in the study (age=20.3±2.3 years, height=183.5±6.3 cm, mass=96.3±17.1 kg). Participants met three times separated by one week.  The initial gathering was an orientation meeting where participants were briefed on the study protocol and height, age and body mass were recorded.  During the first data collection the participants completed a dynamic WU immediately followed by a progression of DLs culminating in a 1-RM DL; this served as a PAP conditioning activity. Following the PAP WU (5-6 minutes) the participants completed two trials of SLJs separated by 2-3 minutes. During the second data collection the participants completed the dynamic WU only followed (5-6 minutes) by the participants completing two trials of SLJs separated by 2-3 minutes. A paired t-test was used to compare the maximum SLJ between WU conditions and a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was calculated to compare 1-RM DLs with SLJ scores. The SLJ was significantly greater (4.3±7.5 cm) following the 1-RM DL PAP warm-up (p<0.01).  The relationship between the 1-RM DL and SLJ scores was r=0.53 (p<0.01) with a coefficient of determination of CD=0.28. Within the parameters of this study, a dynamic WU that included a 1-RM DL as a PAP conditioning activity significantly improved SLJ performance over a dynamic WU alone.  Further, there is a moderate positive relationship between maximum DL performance and SLJ ability.
ALGUMAS NOTAS ACERCA DA PROBLEMÁTICA DO SI-MESMO RICOEURIANO E SUA DIMENSÃO ÉTICA
Authors: Silva Jeferson Portela
Published: September 2018

Resumo: Dentre as muitas discussões presentes no pensamento de Paul Ricoeur, estaremos nesse trabalho elencando a noção de si-mesmo e sua hermenêutica do si, problemática essa que está no cerne de qualquer discussão ricoeuriana acerca  da constituição do estatuto da identidade pessoal. Tal hermenêutica se denomina pela interrogação Quem? Nessa pergunta, surge a problematização das permanências temporais: ipseidade e mesmidade e a vinculação do si com o mundo, com a alteridade e com sua permanência no tempo. Todavia, num primeiro momento estaremos extraindo da hermenêutica do si uma discussão acerca da exaltação do “eu” (superestimação do Cogito) com Descartes e sua decadência (anti-Cogito) com a filosofia de Nietzsche; para Ricoeur, a sua hermenêutica é uma possibilidade de pensar o si longe de tais extremos filosóficos. Sendo assim, nosso objetivo é elucidar o percurso que o filósofo faz para mostrar como a constituição do si se passa numa esteira ética vinculada com suas narrativas individuais mas também coletivas, de toda uma cultura.

The aim of performing this research is to find out financial ratios impact on financial performance of GATM and NML to evaluate which company is performing better.. This research was important because of the problems, they both are competitors and the investor should what are their positions and performance it is important for the companies too through which they can identify which ratios to be considered while evaluating financial performance. For the purpose of this research, I collected the data of 2 companies GATM and NML from Standard capital security website and from firmâ€™s annual reports for the period starting from 2003 to 2017. Furthermore, I considered two measures of financial performance, which are return on asset. and return on equity. I also considered liquidity position which  is measured by current ratio, quick ratio, total asset turnover, fixed asset turnover, inventory turnover) and solvency position by debt to equity debt to total asset and interest coverage ratio, which according to previous researches and conditional theories have adequate impact on financial performance. The findings of this research suggest that current ratio, quick ratio and inventory were the major determinant of liquidity and for no determinant has significant impact and the researches should consider other variable than studied for solvency. The result also shows that both companies are performing better but NML liquidity position is better than NML also both companies ROE and fixed asset turnover shows insignificant difference rest are significant.

Published: September 2018

Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) is one of model that can be used to quantify the risk for investors in order to produce capital gain.There are two empirical models are used in implement the APT: the factor loading model (FLM) and the macro variable model (MVM). Model used in this research was MVM as used by Chen, Roll dan Ross (1986), and Chen, Hsieh dan Jordan (1997). The purpose of this study is to capture the application of APT in Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) using macroeconomic variables (inflation, exchange rate, and interest rate) as the determinants of Syariah stock return and found macro economics variables having powerful effect to the Syariah stock return. To achieve the objectives of this study, a total of 11 listed syariah firms of Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) in Indonesia Stock Exchange were selected by using purposive sampling method from the period of 2009 to 2014. Multiple linear regression has been conducted to capture the application of APT in analized determinants of Syariah stock return. The result shows that only interest rate has effect to the syariah (JII) stock return. Meanwhile inflation and exchange rate have no effect to the syariah stock return. Emperical results clearly indicate that application of APT in justifying returns on Syariah stocks is still weak.

Published: September 2018

The manufacturing sector is one of the most dominant economic sectors in in achieving growth and development in Indonesia. It needs adequate fund to develop its business. The sources of fund are from internal and external. The firm usually optimized the usage of internal fund prior to external fund. The internal fund comes from equity while the external funds are from debt and stock. Debt is also known as financial leverage. There is a phenomenon that the usage of debt increased the firm’s financial performance, since interest on debt could lower the payment of tax (tax shield). On the other side, the higher the financial leverage the higher the risk of bankruptcy. This research aims to analyze whether financial leverage has an influence on financial performance in the manufacturing sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) period 2015. The method of analysis used in this research is multiple linear regression analysis. This research uses quantitative approach with a sample of 140 listed companies in the manufacturing industry. The firm’s financial performance could be measured by the financial ratios. Financial Leverage ratios are ratios that measure the ability of firm’s to meet its financial obligation and the level of usage debt as compared to equity. There are several financial leverage ratios that used in this research, such as Debt Ratio (DR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR), and Long Term Debt Ratio (LTDR). Financial performance indicates the ability of firm to generate profit and measured by Profitability Ratio. Return on Asset (ROA) is one of the Profitability Ratio. The statistical result shows that Debt Ratio (DR) negatively affect Return on Asset (ROA) and Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) positively affect Return on Asset (ROA). Meanwhile, Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Long Term Debt Ratio (LTDR) did not affect Return on Asset (ROA). On the other hand, result shows that Debt Ratio (DR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR), and Long Term Debt Ratio (LTDR) affect Return on Asset (ROA) simultaneously.

Dogs are a popular companion animal in the United States; however, dog acquisition is often a contentious subject. Adoption is often cited as an ethical and popular method of acquisition but interpretation of the term ‘adoption’ may vary. In a nationally representative survey of the U.S., 767 respondents were asked questions regarding their opinions of dog acquisition and adoption. Within the sample, 45% had a dog; of those, 40% had adopted a dog, and 47% visited a veterinarian once a year. A best-worst choice experiment, where respondents were asked to choose the most ethical and least ethical method of acquiring a dog from a statistically determined set of choices, was used to elicit respondents’ preferences for the most ethical method of dog adoption. A random parameters logit and a latent class model were used to estimate relative rankings of dog adoption methods. In the random parameters logit model, the largest preference share was for adoption from a municipal animal shelter (56%) and the smallest preference share was for adoption from a pet store (3%). Dog acquisition was further evaluated by creating an index of social desirability bias using how important respondents believed certain dog characteristics were compared to how important respondents believed others would rate/rank the same dog characteristics. The highest incidences of social desirability bias occurred for the dog characteristics of appearance and breed.

In this paper, a comprehensive study on erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) characteristics under temperature variation has been performed. The rate and propagation equations that characterize EDFA performance pumped at 980 nm and 1480 nm in the forward direction are solved numerically. The Boltzmann distribution between the pump and the gain wavelength is taken into account, and is found to be effective when pumping only at 1480 nm. In addition, a full comparison between the effect of temperature on some of the EDFA characteristics such as the maximum peak gain, optimum fiber length, saturation input power, and saturation output power has been carried out. The temperature variation in the range from −40 °C to +80 °C is taken into account.

Published: September 2018

The necessity of hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles is widely known for reasons such as fossil fuel depletion, climate change, emission norms mandated by regulations, and so on. Expansion of the hybrid vehicle market is a realistic way to respond to fuel efficiency regulations. Hybrid electric vehicles are continuously challenged to meet cross-attribute performance while minimizing energy usage and component cost in a highly competitive automotive market. Current optimization strategy for a parallel hybrid requires much computational time and relies heavily on the drive cycle to accurately represent driving conditions in the future. With increasing application of the lithium-ion battery technology in the automotive industry, development processes and validation methods for the battery management system (BMS) have attracted attention. The purpose of this study is to propose an algorithm to analyze charging characteristics and improve accuracy for determining state of charge (SOC), the equivalent of a fuel gauge for the battery pack, during the regenerative braking period of a TMED type parallel hybrid electric vehicle.

The application of a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) module to an elevation means that the factors causing performance losses in a BIPV are relatively high compared to a photovoltaic (PV) that is installed at the optimal angle. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the performance loss factors of BIPV and to examine the characteristics of each performance loss factor. Measured data were used to analyze the performance and loss factors (module temperature, dust and soiling, power conditioning system (PCS) standby mode, direct current–alternating current (DC-AC) conversion loss). A performance ratio of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61724 was used to power the generation performance analysis. The impact analysis of each loss factor is analyzed by using difference of the power generation, the module efficiency, irradiation, and the performance ratio according to the existence of a loss factor. The performance ratio analysis result of this BIPV system shows a range of 66.8–69.5%. The range of performance loss due to each loss factor was as follows; module temperature: 2.2–6.0%, dust and soiling: 2.2–23.1%, PCS standby loss: 4.9–15.7%, DC–AC conversion loss: 4.1–8.0%. Because the effects of the loss factors are different depending on the installation conditions, the performance loss of the system should be minimized by taking this into consideration in the design stage in the BIPV.
An Efficient Neural Network for Shape from Focus with Weight Passing Method

In this paper, we suggest an efficient neural network model for shape from focus along with weight passing (WP) method. The neural network model is simplified by reducing the input data dimensions and eliminating the redundancies in the conventional model. It helps for decreasing computational complexity without compromising on accuracy. In order to increase the convergence rate and efficiency, WP method is suggested. It selects appropriate initial weights for the first pixel randomly from the neighborhood of the reference depth and it chooses the initial weights for the next pixel by passing the updated weights from the present pixel. WP method not only expedites the convergence rate, but also is effective in avoiding the local minimization problem. Moreover, this proposed method may also be applied to neural networks with diverse configurations for better depth maps. The proposed system is evaluated using image sequences of synthetic and real objects. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model is considerably efficient and is able to improve the convergence rate significantly while the accuracy is comparable with the existing systems.
New Suburbanism: Sustainable Spatial Patterns of Tall Buildings

Published: September 2018

Much of the anticipated future growth in North America will occur in suburbia. The critical challenge that we will face is how to accommodate this growth in a sustainable and resilient manner. While the past 50 years have been characterized by suburban sprawl and low-rise development, “suburban sustainability” is increasingly making its way into the planning and urban design policy realm. This research investigates the spatial patterns of tall buildings in 24 suburban communities of three different regions including, Washington, D.C., Miami, and Chicago. The study identifies 10 different spatial patterns that prevail in suburbia and provides a concise summary of these patterns and reflects on their spatial and urban design aspects. The research concludes that the Tall Buildings and Transit-Oriented-Development (TB-TOD) model, an urban design approach that refers to vertical mixed-use clusters centered on mass-transit nodes, is one of the sustainable options for large regions going forward. The paper also discusses the challenges to the TB-TOD model implementation, mainly limited transit lines and community resistance. It ends by offering directions for future research.
