Authors: Rasouli Milad , Chitsazan Sahar , Sayyar Mohammad Hossein , Yaghobi Nakisa , Bozorgi Babak
Published: October 2019

Computational fluid dynamic has already become a widely used and indispensable design and optimization tool in many technical areas. In the present work, the CFD simulations have been coupled with complex chemical reactions to model a membrane tubular reactor which is used to produce phenol from benzene in the vapor phase. Hydrogen dissociates on the palladium layer and reacts with oxygen to give active oxygen species, which attack benzene to produce phenol. In principal, reaction occurs in the surface of palladium and conversion of benzene is increased by changing the length and diameter of the Pd coated PSS tubes. The reactor length and diameter are two geometrical factors which are concerned in the present study. Although increasing the reactor length increase the conversion of benzene to phenol but the concentration of the phenol start to decrease. Based on the data provided by the experiments, a mathematical model has been constructed to conduct a simulation which leads us to an optimum design of a new tubular membrane micro-reactor.

Published: October 2019

Studies were carried out on the transesterification, also called methanolysis, of oil from the Jatropha curcas L. with methanol using conventional heating for the production of biodiesel. All reactions were carried out in a batch-stirred reactor and in the subsequent separation and purification stages. The high free-fatty acid (FFA) level of Jatropha oil was reduced to less than 1% by a two-step process. The first step was carried out with 12% w/w methanol-to-oil ratio in the presence of 1% w/w HCl as acid catalyst in a 2h reaction at 343K. The second step was carried out with variable parameters: temperatures at 318K and 333K, initial catalyst concentrations at 0.5% and 1.5%, methanol:oil molar ratios at 4:1 and 6:1, and reaction times at 1h and 2h. Gas chromatography analysis was used to determine the fatty acid profile of crude Jatropha oil. Methanolysis of Jatropha oil used the catalysts NaOH and KOH. The high FFA level of Jatropha oil was reduced from 6.1% to 0.7% after the first step process. The highest yield of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), however, was achieved at 92.7% in 2h at 4:1 methanol:oil molar ratio, 1.5% w/w KOH, and 333K reaction temperature. This method produced biodiesel that met ASTM’s biodiesel standards. Results showed a density of 0.8g/ml that is within 0.86–0.9kg/l standard range and a kinematic viscosity of about 4.1cSt that is within 2–4.5cSt standard range. The flash point of the biodiesel samples fell between 169oC and 179oC while the cloud point averaged at 6oC.

Published: October 2019

Waste vegetable oil, mainly coming from frying residues, can be used as raw material to obtain a diesel fuel (biodiesel). Biodiesel, a nontoxic, biodegradable, diesel-like fuel, is an important energy alternative capable of decreasing environmental problems caused by the consumption of fossil fuels. The utilization of waste vegetable oils as raw material in biodiesel production was studied. Research was undertaken to establish the availability of used vegetable oil to supply a biodiesel process. It is intended that this work forms an academic study combined with an environmental and technological analysis of the merits of biodiesel as a sustainable fuel. Laboratory experimentation investigated the possibility of using waste vegetable oil from the local fast food chains, and potassium hydroxide as catalyst for the transesterification process. The cleaned waste vegetable oil undergoes transesterification for 4 hours, after which, the biodiesel is separated from the glycerin by gravity. Washing is necessary to remove residual catalyst or soap. Overall material balance for the process gives: 1 kg Waste Vegetable oil + 0.18 kg EtOH + 0.01 kg KOH → 0.74 kg Biodiesel + 0.44 kg Glycerin The biodiesel, in pure form (B100) and in 50% proportion (B50) with petroleum diesel, was run in an essentially unmodified Toyota 2C diesel engine. Smoke density (opacity) and CO exhaust emission both decreased with B50. However, Nox increased with B50. Fuel consumption during engine power testing is significantly greater using the biodiesel, but is also significantly reduced with B50.
Kinetic Effects as the Balancing Factor on α-Cellulose Conversion into D-Glucose in Hydrolysis Process of Pt. Tanjung Enim Lestari Solid Waste Using Oscillated Flow
Authors: Haryati Sri
Published: October 2019

A solution to find the best alternative to minimize industry pollution is very necessary especially in pulp and paper manufacturing. One of the alternatives is using waste as feed that will be converted into chemical compound and fuel. Solid waste from pulp and paper manufacturing that contains lignocellulose which is a biomass has potency to be processed for chemical compounds, such as sugar solution (D-glucose), Furfural, and Acetone-Buthanol-Ethanol (ABE). The solid waste in this research is hydrolyzed generating D-glucose solution. The purpose of this research is to study the variables of α-cellulose conversion kinetics as the balancing factor between α-cellulose conversion and energy and mass consumptions. The value of energy and mass consumptions, along with temperature and acid concentration, can be minimized to get higher conversions. Two processes in this method are the preparation and the hydrolyses of α-cellulose by using delignified feed. The hydrolyses process occurs in the Oscillated Reactor Column. The highest conversion was about 50-55% at 10% of sulfic acid concentration.
Comparison of Steady State and Dynamic Interaction Measurements in Multiloop Control Systems
Authors: Handogo Renanto , H. Avon T. , Lelono Joko
Published: October 2019

The applicability of the steady-state Relative Gain Array (RGA) to measure dynamic process interactions in a multiloop control system was investigated. Several transfer function matrices were chosen, and the gains, time constants, and dead times of their elements were varied to represent the systems with dominant dynamic interactions. It was shown that the steady-state RGA method predicted the controller pairing accurately if the pairing elements recommended by RGA had the bigger gains and the same or smaller time constants compared to other elements in the corresponding rows. When these conditions were not met, the RGA would give a wrong result, and dynamic interaction measurements, such as the Average Dynamic Gain Array (ADGA) and the Inverse Nyquist Array (lNA), should be used instead to determine the best controller pairing in a multiloop control system. Keywords: Control pairing, dynamic process interaction, multiloop control systems, Relative Gain Array (RGA), and steady state.

Authors: Pavasant P. , Wongsuchoto P. , Suksoir V.
Published: October 2019

A mathematical model was proposed to explain the gas-liquid mass transfer behavior in an airlift contactor (ALC). The model separated the airlift contactor into three sections: riser, gas separator, and downcomer. The riser and downcomer were described using the dispersion model whilst the gas separator was modeled as a .completely mixed tank. All parameters needed for the model were obtained from independent experiments both carried out in this work and reported elsewhere. Simulation results were compared with a number of experimental data obtained from the systems with various geometrical and operational conditions. It was shown that the model could predict the oxygen mass transfer between phases in the ALC with reasonable accuracy. Keywords: Airlift contactor (ALC), dispersion model, mass transfer, mathematical model, and verification.
Application of Evidence Theory to Automate The Process of Removing Toxic Chromium Ions in Wastewater
Authors: Mustafa Mohd Marzuki , Sheikh Abdullah Siti Rozaimah , Abdul Rahman Rakmi
Published: October 2019

A new method to automate the batch process of removing toxic chromium ions from wastewater using Oempster-Shafer's (OS) evidence theory is described. The removal of the toxic chromium ions from wastewater is a good example of a process where conventional output or state feedback controllers cannot be simply applied because the concentration of the ion cannot be easily measured online or estimated from other measured parameters. The batch process of removing toxic chromium ions by adding a reducing agent involves reduction and oxidation (redox) reactions which are usually monitored using the oxidation reduction potential (ORP) probe. However, the relationship between ORP and concentration of chromium ions is difficult to establish, hence, a reliable online control is seldom achieved using output feedback control. The approach here is to treat the sequence of ORP values obtained at each sample interval as partial evidences with different degrees of belief to indicate whether the removal process has been completed or not. Using OS's theory of evidence these partial evidences are fused or aggregated to give a more reliable and robust real time control decision. In this paper, a modification is proposed to overcome deficiencies in the OS's combination rule in combining sequences of evidence from the same source. The algorithm based on this evidence theory has been tested in the laboratory, and the results obtained show that the algorithm is robust with respect to noise and process variation.Keywords: Chromium removal process, Dempster-Shafer's evidence theory, evidence aggregation, information fusion, and oxygen reduction potential (CRP).

Limites dos governos progressistas: o caso brasileiro
Authors: Sampaio Júnior Plínio de Arruda
Published: October 2019

El artículo discute los límites estructurales que los gobiernos progresistas latinoamericanos enfrentaron para promover políticas para superar las desigualdades sociales y la dependencia externa. Sin cambiar la doble articulación que caracteriza al capitalismo dependiente - la segregación social y la dominación imperialista -, los gobiernos progresistas actuaron sobre los efectos de los problemas y no sobre sus causas. Tomando como ejemplo el caso brasileño, el trabajo criticará la falacia que afirma que los gobiernos de Lula da Silva y Dilma Rousseff tuvieron éxito, en medio de la crisis económica mundial, para reconciliar crecimiento y equidad. Al aceptar los parámetros del orden global, las administraciones del Partido de los Trabajadores de Lula e Dilma Rousseff reprodujeron el subdesarrollo. No es de extrañar que el llamado ciclo neodesarrollista haya terminado colocando de manifiesto la extrema fragilidad económica y social de Brasil ante las vicisitudes del sistema capitalista mundial.
Elecciones en México 2018: entre el fraude anunciado y la cuarta rebelión ciudadana
Authors: Alvarez Béjar Alejandro
Published: October 2019

Las elecciones federales de 2018 en México, apuntan a ser un proceso histórico, que ocurre en un contexto de crisis económica, política, social y humanitaria. Pero no está en juego el fin del modelo neoliberal, sino a lo más, nuevos énfasis distributivos, ajustes institucionales, además de cambios en el peso y la composición de los actores políticos. A diferencia de los procesos del “progresismo” en Latino América, aún con un candidato reconocido como perteneciente a la izquierda, en México habría lugar para afirmar que la disputa formal es entre tres coaliciones conservadoras, bajo el telón de fondo de una tendencia a la militarización de la vida política nacional. El proceso electoral transcurre entre preparativos de fraude por el Gobierno de Peña Nieto y un enorme malestar social nacional, lo que puede derivar en condiciones de crisis amplificada. Los límites del cambio están fijados, coyunturalmente, por la dinámica de los actores políticos y las reglas de participación; estructuralmente, por el desempeño contradictorio de la economía norteamericana y la crisis económica encubierta que vive la economía mexicana. Pero la crisis política doméstica sólo podrá dar lugar a un cambio de modelo orientado más al desarrollo del mercado interno, si se agravan las condiciones prevalecientes en la economía global.

Published: October 2019

The present treatments for HIV transfection include chemical agents and gene therapies. Although many chemical drugs, peptides and genes have been developed for HIV inhibition, a variety of non-ignorable drawbacks limited the efficiency of these materials. Dendrimers has ability to carrier of antiviral drugs due to some properties such as mono-dispersity, defined structure, amenability for functionalization using diverse ligands and its low-nanometer size. In this review, we discuss the application of dendrimers as both therapeutic agents and non-viral vectors of chemical agents and genes for HIV treatment. In one way, dendrimers with functional end groups combine with the gp120 of HIV and CD4 molecule of host cell to suppress the attachment of HIV to the host cell. In another way, dendrimers are also able to transfer chemical drugs and genes into the host cells, which increase the anti-HIV activity of these materials. Dendrimers as therapeutic tools provide a potential treatment for HIV infection.

Published: October 2019

The purpose of this article is to show the dynamics of Islam using the history of Islam in the North-East Caucasusas an example. The Islamic tradition has never remained static; it has historically changed in accordance with the requirements of the time and rational expediency. Using the example of the history of Islam in the Caucasus and especially in Dagestan, we can trace the logic of the complex interaction of various factors of history, primarily political, ethnic and religious, which have most inﬂuenced the multiple social transformations in this region. The question of the cultural complexity of socio-political and ethno-confessional processes in heterogeneous societies that have experienced numerous inﬂuences at various stages of Islamization, starting from the period of early Islam, is connected with the question of the political expediency of disseminating certain ideological and worldview interpretations of the Muslim religion.
Interreligious Dialogue According to Ismaīl Rājī al-Fārūqī
Authors: Shavrina M. S.
Published: October 2019

This article deals with the views of the American scholar of Palestinian origin Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi (1921–1986), specialist on the interfaith dialogue. Al-Faruqi’s contribution to the development of interfaith communication could be considered both as his academic activity as well as the result of his personal convictions. In this regard the special attention is paid to Al-Faruqi’s analysis of the concept of “natural religion” (din alﬁtrah) and his looking for universal principles permitting to begin a conversation. The author comes to the conclusion that (1) the idea of al-Faruqi’s Islamic humanism depends from his positive interpretation of human nature (ﬁtrah), and that (2) al-Faruqi consider ethics as the basis for the formation of a common platform for interfaith communication.
Performance evaluation for hospital facility management: literature review and a research methodology
Authors: Lai Joseph , Yuen P.L.
Published: October 2019

Underpinning the quality of health services is a wide range of facilities services that require effective management. With the importance of such facilities management (FM) increasingly recognized, research on healthcare FM has grown, with many that attempted to develop some performance frameworks or key performance indicators (KPIs) for hospital FM. A credible scheme that is tailored for evaluating the holistic FM performance of hospital buildings, however, is yet to be seen. In order to establish such a performance evaluation scheme, a research project was initiated. A review of the literature germane to hospital FM and the groundwork completed by the research team, based on which the project was formulated, is reported in this paper. The research methodology of the project and the five stages of rigorous research work, including a multi-pronged approach to data collection, the method for processing the data with an analytic network process (ANP) and the steps for establishing the intended evaluation scheme, are also described.
A morte e o “eu”: poesia e outras artes no último Herberto Helder
Authors: Velasco Fernando
Published: October 2019

Os últimos livros de Herberto Helder contêm inflexões significativas em relação ao conjunto de sua obra. No cerne das mudanças, está a renovação das formas de uma noção desde sempre central para a escrita do poeta: a de morte. O último Herberto Helder, então, se abre ao convívio entre diferentes ideias de morte, às quais correspondem diferentes regimes da poesia. Neste sentido, a interação entre diferentes regimes da morte afeta, por um lado, os regimes da autoria, as concepções do “eu” e o pacto de leitura propostos pelo poema e, por outro, as relações que a escrita mantém com duas noções que a estruturam: as de tempo e de imagem. O conceito de “estilo tardio”, desenvolvido por Theodor Adorno e, depois, por Edward Said, se oferece como instrumento de análise das articulações entre morte, tempo e imagem nos momentos finais da poesia de Herberto Helder, interrogadas a partir das relações que estabelece ou permite estabelecer com a música, o cinema e a fotografia.
REAL-TIME CLASSIFICATION OF FACIAL EXPRESSIONS USING A PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS AND CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK
Authors: Astuti Dwi Lydia Zuharah , Samsuryadi Samsuryadi , Rini Dian Palupi
Published: October 2019

Classification of facial expressions has become an essential part of computer systems and human-computer fast interaction. It is employed in various applications such as digital entertainment, customer service, driver monitoring, and emotional robots. Moreover, it has been studied through several aspects related to the face itself when facial expressions change based on the point of view or perspective. Facial curves such as eyebrows, nose, lips, and mouth will automatically change. Most of the proposed methods have limited frontal Face Expressions Recognition (FER), and their performance decrease when handling non-frontal and multi-view FER cases.  This study combined both methods in the classification of facial expressions, namely the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) methods. The results of this study proved to be more accurate than that of previous studies. The combination of PCA and CNN methods in the Static Facial Expressions in The Wild (SFEW) 2.0 dataset obtained an accuracy amounting to 70.4%; the CNN method alone only obtained an accuracy amounting to 60.9%.

Published: October 2019

The study aims to show the implementation of Deaf Space design guidelines application in the Deaf Exhibition Center building. Even to increase society's understanding of the need for public space access facilities for hearing disabilities. The relation between persons with hearing disabilities and space is the most fundamental thing in creating a space experience (interiority). Interiority is processed prioritizing high visual orientation, and encourages the totality of other sensory experiences based on the philosophy of Deaf Space. In terms of interior design, persons with hearing disabilities have other space needs and are more specific.. Space experience, using the principle of Deaf Space design, namely 1) space and proximity, 2)  sensory reach, 3) mobility and proximity, 4)  light and color, dan 5) acoustic as a concept of implementation, is one way to create a particular space experience. As a conception of application, is one way to create a particular space experience. Deaf space design guidelines are considered an important aspect in determining design concepts and are influenced by hearing disabilities' behavioral characteristics of interiority (relations between space and humans). Context of hearing disability behavior which includes a series of stages of exploration process and interpretation by subject in it gives birth to an interiority. Interiority is the presence of oneself being able to comfort in this space. Interiority isnot merely a spatial concept, but concept in which disunited spaces can be one uniting body, mind, and space. The interiority in exhibition space toward hearing disability behavior can be implemented in design concept for hearing disability, so hearing disability users or visitors can engage in community interaction conversations and need space called "deaf space". The results of this study contribute to application of the Deaf Space design concept in DEC building toward behavior of hearing disability user, so that they can activity independently and productively.

Published: October 2019

El Futuro de la administración”, (Gary, 2010) escrito por Gary Hamel y Bill Breen, nos planta una serie de preguntas interesantes, sobre la validez – para el entorno actual – de las teorías administrativas escritas hace casi cien años. Hace un recorrido y análisis de las empresas ó talleres del periodo feudal y su transformación en, empresas industriales empujadas por el desarrollo de la industrialización en el siglo XIX, hasta convertirse en imperios industriales donde el entorno de juego es el mismo comercio mundial. Desde el inicio, Hamel, plantea la importancia y el eje central de su propuesta como lo es la “innovación administrativa”, de esta manera hace una aclaración profunda sobre la importancia de la administración como herramienta para la consecución de los objetivos organizacionales, y su contribución en la búsqueda constante de nuevas formas ó mecanismos administrativos que permitan acrecentar cada vez más los niveles productivos de la empresa.
