Authors: Gerung Altiano R , Wikarsa Liza , Munir Rinaldi
Published: March 2021

Desain web responsif adalah praktik untuk membuat situs web disajikan dengan baik di setiap perangkat. Sebelum pengenalan desain web responsif, pengembang web harusmembuat halaman web terpisah atau bahkan situs web terpisah untuk setiap perangkat keras yang berbeda. Kekurangan dari aplikasi desain web responsif serupa antara lain ketidakmampuan untuk mengelompokkan halaman web, tidak dapat membuat breakpoints lokal, dan mengatur elemen HTML khusus untuk komponen tata letak. Oleh karena keterbatasan ini, Aplikasi Moli (My Original Layout, Immediately) dibangun untuk memungkinkan pengembang web pemula dalam merancang dan menerapkan tata letak web responsif dengan mudah dan cepat. Aplikasi ini menyediakan manajemen proyek website, halaman web, komponen tata letak global dan lokal, breakpoints global dan lokal, desain tata letak responsif serta menghasilkan dokumen kode HTML dan CSS dari tata letak web yang dirancang. Hasil pengujian mengungkapkan bahwa Aplikasi Moli berhasil mengelompokkan halaman web, membuat breakpoint lokal dan global, memilih dan menyesuaikan elemen HTML untuk komponen tata letak, dan menghasilkan tata letak responsif dalam bentuk dokumen kode HTML dan CSS. Juga, Aplikasi Moli dapat mengoptimalkan proses desain dengan mengurangi kode HTML yang berlebihan dengan tag presentasi, skrip, dan obyek/atribut yang dicampur dengan structural markup.

Authors: Mumtaz Humaira , Javed Iqbal , Bakhsh Allah
Published: March 2021

The limitation and the complications which the economic agents are facing are studied in behavioral economics. The current study underhand is an attempt to explore the impact of psychological consequences on household incomes. The current study underhand used World Value Survey data for the years 2012-2014 for Pakistan. Simple Linear Regression analysis was used to measure the impact of psychological variables on the income of households in Pakistan. The results show that people with a more external locus of control positively affect their incomes, as they do believe in external factors like fate and luck for its success or failure. Creativity, loneliness, and positivity have a direct relation with income while mistrust and risk aversion have an inverse relation with income. Creative minds of individuals, freedom of choice to control their lives phenomenon have a strong, positive and significant association with income. Creativity at work increase income or regular work for just reward increase income. This means that the individuals who mistrust less are consequently quicker in taking economic decisions and would make investment planning that will lead to an increase in their income. A second estimated model of this study includes all socioeconomic variables which can determine the level of income. These variables cover a wide range of demographic and social variables. These socioeconomics variables are age, gender, level of education, number of children, marital status, interaction variable of marital status and age, a square of interaction variable of marital status and age, interaction variable of gender and age, a square of interaction variables of gender and age and dummies of the province. Results show that all these variables have a significant relation with income level. All the socioeconomic and demographic variables have a strong association with the level of income. It reveals that the dummy of marital status negatively influences the income, it means that an unmarried man can earn more than a married. This study suggested that policymakers should take initial steps to focus on human psychology while making efforts to reduce the poverty level.
Determinants of Speculative Demand of Wheat and Its Impact on Consumer Welfare Loss
Authors: Haral Muhammad Arshad , Yasin Mudassar
Published: March 2021

A much-neglected concept of price speculation from the side of consumers plays an important role in the determination of prices and quantity traded in the market. Almost all the consumers speculate about future prices of commodities and at the first stage, whenever prices increase, most of the consumers believe and speculate that the prices will increase more in the future. The current study underhand is conducted to find the factors of speculative demand for wheat and its relationship with consumer’s welfare. The need for this study was to find the factors of speculative demand and its and its relationship with the welfare loss. For this purpose data were collected from one hundred wheat consumers who buy wheat monthly from rural and urban areas of District Mandi Baha ud Din, Pakistan at random by direct interviewing to analyze which factors compel them not to buy wheat at annual bases and how it is related to their income, family size, and monthly income. Results show a negative relationship between the speculative demand for wheat and income. There is also a positive relationship between speculation and family as well as between speculation and actual quantity demanded. The lower-income consumers do speculation about the prices of the wheat from September to March and cause prices to increase about 8.92% more than the normal prices which cost them to lose consumer welfare and surplus. It is concluded that if consumers avoid speculation, they can buy wheat at 8.92% lesser price and can enjoy more consumer welfare and surplus. An increase in speculative demand increases prices more than a normal increase. The addition of some portion of price increment merely is due to consumer’s psychological phenomenon of speculation.

Authors: Hina Tayyaba , Naseer Muhammad Asad ur Rehman
Published: March 2021

The basic purpose of this study was to look at the position of Better Management Practices (BMPs) of cotton crop in order to reduce the burden on our natural scarce resources. Relevant information was taken from 150 respondents from the district Khanewal, Punjab. The results of this study revealed that the education level and landholding size of respondents have a positive impact on the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. While the farmer’s age and farming experience were found a negative impact on BMPs adoption rate. Similarly, contact of respondents with the staff of farmer’s field schools and the number of visits of farmer’s field school staff were found positively correlated to BMPs adoption rate. The results of the regression analysis revealed the impact of different agriculture inputs and BMPs on cotton yield. The results showed that the age of the farmers, education, fertilizer, irrigations, water scouting, cotton area, farmyard manure, and hybrid seed variety and sowing method had a positive sign while the sign of pesticide coefficient was negative. The gross margins of BMPs adopter and non-adopter were 45,955 PKR and 28,790 PKR per acre respectively. The model also indicated that the production function fits well with the given data set. Therefore, the results of this study conveyed policy messages for the private and public organizations to promote BMPs for the betterment of the farming community.
Microfinance is a Non-productive and Expensive Source of Borrowing: A Case Study of District Sargodha (Pakistan)
Authors: Mahmood Tahir , Bakhsh Allah
Published: March 2021

The study examines Pakistan’s microfinance institutions' performance and checks the productivity of microfinance institutions. For this purpose primary data was collected from a sample of 260 respondents from 6 microfinance banks in Sargodha District. This paper examined the livestock sector and the impact of microfinance on livestock productivity. According to the results of the role of microfinance was non-productive due to the high cost of borrowing, small loan size, high feed cost and use of the loan in a non-productive term. According to the results microfinance productivity is negative due to small loan size and high cost of borrowing. While the productivity of borrowing amount for large farm size is positive which is three times greater as compared to small farm size. So results showed that the efficiency of production increase through large scale farming. Small loan size and high cost of borrowing is a basic cause of negative microfinance productivity. Small loan size is not benefited for investment because the loan amount is unable to meet the basic requirements at the farm level for the increase in productivity of livestock farming. The main reason for the high productivity of livestock financing in large farming is due to its economies of size. Replacement of dilapidated equipment with modern equipment is one way to increase productivity in an organization. Large loan size decreases the inefficiency in input costs. The major three factors of livestock productivity are the amount of interest rates, milk production and feed cost which are responsible to make efficient use of loan amount in its productivity. Productive capacity is a basic characteristic of large farm size and loan productivity depends on productive capacity.

Furthermore, ADVISOR is used to simulate the proposed motorcycle and calculate the fuel consumption in different cycles. The configuration of hybrid design is a separated parallel or through the road type, in which a brushless DC motor is assumed to be fitted in the front wheel. An optimization process is carried out to size the components for both the performance and fuel economy of the motorcycle. The results show that a 1.5 kW electric motor in front can improve the performance and grading of the motorcycle as well as to decrease the fuel consumption of the motorcycle on several driving patterns.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that temperatures above 65ºC in hot beverages could be potentially carcinogenic. If they are consumed below 65ºC are considered as non-carcinogenic to humans. Coffee and tea are consumed in cups and the infusion is put in direct contact with the mouth. In contrast, in hot maté a device similar to a straw is used to sip the infusion. Therefore, the temperature of the infusion when reaching the consumer’s mouth is generally lower than the temperature of the water used to prepare the infusion. In this investigation usual conditions of consumption of hot mate by sensorial analysis were determined. Taking these conditions into account, experiments were carried out using temperature sensors to determine the infusion temperature when entering the mouth of the consumer and the variables influence it. Our findings suggest that the infusion temperature at the point of consumption is always below 58ºC and is influenced by the water temperature, the amount of yerba maté and the frequency of sipping.

Published: March 2021

Biorefineries producing ethanol from sugarcane are, mostly, plants that obtain ethanol from first-generation process. Second-generation ethanol is currently being studied and evaluated technologically and economically. One of the stages of large energy consumption, common to 1st and 2nd generation processes, is the concentration step by evaporator systems. In the present work a phenomenological transient model of Robert type evaporator is implemented using EMSO simulator. The physicochemical properties were calculated by the thermodynamic package VRTherm. The calandria section of the evaporator was modeled as a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, followed by a flash vessel for phase separation using level and pressure controllers. The finitedifferences method was used to discretize the spatial variable in the obtained partial differential equations, and the numerical integrator DASSLC was the code used to solve the resulting system of differential-algebraic equations. The obtained compositions of the liquid and vapor phases and temperatures are in agreement with data obtained from literature. In order to compare the results between a simpler and a more detailed models, flash and Robert type evaporator models were evaluated.
PASSIVITY BASED FRACTIONAL ORDER ADAPTIVE CONTROL OF DEPTH OF ANESTHESIA
Authors: BOROOJERDI ALAVI M. , TABATABAEI M.
Published: March 2021

In this paper, a passivity based model reference adaptive controller with fractional-order adaptation mechanism is utilized for control of depth of anesthesia. The propofol infusion rate is adjusted to reach an appropriate Bispectral Index (BIS). The Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) model is employed to model the distribution of propofol in patient body. Since, the PK-PD model parameters depend on physical specifications of patient, employing an adaptive controller to control this system is inevi-table. The utilized controller is a pole placement con-troller in which its polynomial coefficients are ad-justed according to a fractional-order adaptation mechanism. Simulation results on several patients demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method in the presence of disturbance, noise, and model uncertainties.
IMPROVING BER PERFORMANCE AND SECURITY IN PLC CHANNEL USING OSTBC, CONVOLUTIONAL CODING AND INTERLEAVING WITH HYBRID SDES-AES ENCRYPTION
Authors: RAJKUMARSINGH B. , Seechurn Satyaajeet
Published: March 2021

This paper aims to improve data security and BER performance in the Power Line Communication channel by using encryption and channel coding techniques. In particular, improvement in BER performance has been obtained while using OSTBC rather than STBC as compared to the results obtained in a previous work. The improved system has been extended to include data security in the PLC channel. In this respect, a Hybrid SDES-AES encryption scheme has been developed. The BER performance of the Hybrid SDES-AES encryption in the PLC channel has been improved by using Convolutional coding, Interleaving and OSTBC. A performance improvement of 11.8 dB has been obtained at a BER of 3×10−5 when compared with the Uncoded Hybrid Encryption case.
POWER SYSTEM CONTINGENCY RANKING BASED ON SHORT-TERM VOLTAGE STABILITY INDICES
Authors: Pinzon Casallas Jaime Dwaigth , Colomé D. G.
Published: March 2021

This paper presents a novel methodology to identify critical contingencies that produce short-term voltage stability problems (STVS). The proposed methodology classifies the state of the pow-er system for each contingency, assessing the voltage stability of the post-contingency dynamic response from the calculation of the maximal Lyapunov expo-nent (MLE) and dynamic voltage indices at each bus and the whole system. In order to determine the crit-ical contingencies, the values of the indices and the results of the classification of the post-contingency state are statistically analysed. The methodology is tested in the New England 39-bus system, obtaining satisfactory results in relation to the identification not only of the most critical contingencies but also of vulnerable buses to voltage instability. New contri-butions of this work are the contingency classifica-tion methodology, the algorithm for calculating dy-namic indices and the method of classification of the operating state as a function of the STVS problem magnitude.

Published: March 2021

In this study, anthocyanins from tulip petals were extracted and encapsulated by a spray drier. The novelty of this study is the first attempt in a production of natural colorant from tulip petal and its application in food model system. Encapsulation efficiency of the sample ranged from 93.06 % to 97.07% and, optimum temperature and maltodextrin ratio were 135 °C and 3/1, respectively. The sample prepared at optimum condition showed uniform distribution and had no crack with an average particle diameter of 5.55 m. A significant change in a* values was observed at a temperature of 40 °C during storage. Half-life value (t1/2) of the anthocyanin degradation was found as 391.5 and 16.69 days for 4 °C and 40 °C respectively. This study suggested that tulip petal anthocyanin can be used as a food colorant in samples subjected to low or mild heat application.

Published: March 2021

Three-aminopropyltriethoxysilane modified MCM-41 mesoporous silicas were synthesized by grafting the organic groups on the support surface, using different molar ratios of SiO2:Aminosilane. The synthesized solids were characterized by N2 adsorption, XRD, FTIR and TG-DTA. MCM-41 has a specific surface area of about 1500 m2/g, while that of the functionalized materials falls around 600 m2/g, showing a tendency to decrease as the content of the functionalizing agent grows. The N2 adsorption isotherms of pure and functionalized materials are characteristic of mesoporous type IV materials. The structural properties were studied by FTIR and XRD. TG-DTA studies allow analyzing the thermal stability of the materials and determining the deposited amine content. The aminosilane modified mesoporous silica materials increase the CO2 adsorption capacity compared to that of the pure MCM-41. The results obtained are well interpreted by Freundlich physicochemical model and the model parameters show a linear correlation with APTES molar content in the samples.

Published: March 2021

The objective is to present an adaptive tracking approach of visual objects in the framework of particle filters (PF) and conflict redistribution strategy based on Dezert-Smarandache theory (DSmT). A combination rule of conflict redistribution was introduced into the researches on visual objects tracking, position and color information of moving objects were combined by modified combination strategy information, and the objects tracking model of fusing multiple information on the condition of occluded objects was established effectively. On the basis of building the execution panel of objects tracking simulation platform, many tracking experiments in complicated scene were carried out to validate the correctness and availability of the introduced method by comparing with other tracking method. Results showed that the introduced approach had excellent adaptive ability for dealing with high conflict among evidences under different occlusion condition, and could solve partly high-level vision tracking problems efficiently.

Published: March 2021

The present paper investigates the problem of flow and heat transfer in a two dimensional boundary layer flow of a nanofluid over a non-linear, permeable stretching/shrinking sheet by considering the effects of suction/blowing, momentum slip, thermal slips and thermal radiation. Three different types of spherical nanoparticles such as ,  and  are considered by taking water as the base fluid. With the aid of suitable similarity transformations, the governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary ones. A new analytical method namely DTM-BF, based on the differential transformation method (DTM) and base function (BF), has been applied to get approximate analytic solutions of these equations in an unbounded domain. Comparison of the present numerical results has been done with the corresponding results available in the literature and they have been found to be in good agreement. The effects of different physical parameters on the flow and temperature profiles have been presented graphically.
