Published: July 2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the particle size, board density, resin content and hot press temperature on the properties of particleboard composite. Single-layered Kelempayan (Neolamarckia cadamba) particleboards bonded with phenol formaldehyde (PF) resins were manufactured. The boards were fabricated with three different particle sizes (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mm), two different board densities (600 and 700 kgm-3), two different resin contents (9 and 11%) and two different hot press temperatures (155 and 165˚C). The boards produced were evaluated for their modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bond (IB) and thickness swelling (TS) in accordance with the Malaysia Standards. The study revealed that boards from smaller particles, higher resin contents and higher hot press temperatures gave higher MOE, MOR, IB and improved the TS. However, boards with higher densities gave higher MOE, MOR, IB and TS. Overall, the boards with the particle size of 0.5 mm, board density of 700 kgm-3, resin content of 11% and 165˚C of hot press temperature exhibited the greatest performance and were able to fulfill the Malaysia Standard specifications for furniture grade used in dry (PF1) and humid (PF2) and also for load-bearing applications in dry (PS1).

Published: July 2019

Wudhu (ablution) ritual is an activity of cleaning physical parts for Muslims to perform their prayer five times per day. During this wudhu ritual process, the water is allowed to run free and drain away. At-times, this has caused some concerns particualrly on water wastage. Many organizations in Malaysia such as AACE Technologies Sdn. Bhd. came out with a solution and steps as “Auto Wudu Washer” in order to overcome this wastage, but the result was not satisfying enough. This study introduces a wudhu system that can reduce the amount of water usage during wudhu ritual consistently by limiting around 1 litre per consumer. Generally, there were seven (7) parts that have been used in this project such as 1 litre of container, magnet, float, valve push button, washer and cap. These designs did not utilize any electronic devices. Using these parts, 2 experiments were conducted namely the current wudhu system and the upgraded wudhu system by 10 (Muslims) respectively. The result of this project confirmed that using the Upgraded Wudhu System with amount of water limited to 1 litre per consumer was better than the current wudhu system by ten times.

The increasing demand for newer materials with versatile properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio; has made fiber reinforced composite materials a favourable choice in various applications, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, marine, sports and defense industries. Moreover, the properties of a composite material could be tailored for specific functions or applications. Despite its many attractive features, composite material fails in a complex manner involving matrix failure, fiber failure and delamination. This failure behaviour needs to be well established. The objective of this study is to perform failure analysis on a woven Kevlar/Epoxy composite laminate subjected to uniaxial tension and establish its failure trend. The lamination sequence is (θ4/04/-θ4)S where the angle, θ, ranges from 0o to 90o. The failure analysis was carried out using a commercial finite element software, Ansys and comparisons were made using analytical methods (Matlab). The values of stresses were computed and Maximum Stress Theory was employed to check for failure. The trend of failure, in terms of the failure curves (normalized first ply failure and last ply failure loads), for woven Kevlar/Epoxy was established. This study had produced new failure datas for woven Kevlar/Epoxy and thus, contributes significant knowledge about the failure behaviour of composite materials.

Statistical Method for Tracing Hydraulic Fracture Front Without Evaluation of the Normal
Authors: D. Stepanov A.
Published: July 2019

In numerical simulation of hydraulic fracture propagation, tangent component of the fluid velocity generally considered to be neglected near the crack front. Then Reynolds transport theorem yields that the limit of the particle velocity coincides with the vector of the front propagation speed. We use this fact in combination with the Poiseuille-type equation, which implies that the particle velocity is always collinear to pressure gradient. We show that this specific feature of the hydraulic fracture problem may serve to simplify tracing the front propagation. The latter may be traced without explicit evaluation of the normal to the front, which is needed in conventional applications of the theory of propagating interfaces. Numerical experiments confirm that, despite huge errors in pressure and even greater errors in its gradient, the propagation speed, statistically averaged over a distance of a mesh size, is found quite accurate. We conclude that suggested method may simplify numerical simulation of hydraulic fractures driven by Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.

Kinect Structural Noise Elimination Technique For ITIS Mobile Robot Data Collector
Authors: Kurniawan Aditya , Wardani Kholilatul
Published: July 2019

A contemporary study on the Kinect sensor as a visual sensor device for robots shows that the sensor has some fundamental flaws. One of them are shadows on the object edge that will affect the process of recognition of shape (shape recognition) spatially. If the Kinect sensor is used in the robot vision navigation system, the sensor may lead to errors in the robot's decision on the shape of the object sensed by the sensor. The previous research reports a positive influence on the variation of smoothing process by using neighborhood filtering. This research will use multiple neighborhood localized filtering (MNLF) method to eliminate structural noise generated by kinect sensor IR camera. The robot model that will be used for testing is 6WD Wild Thumper Mobile Robot Chassis from Dagu Robotics. The calculation of SSI (Structural Similarity Index) calculation based on ROI between image index 0 (original image) with index 6 (image result after multiple filtering process) results SSI index with value 0.999999930515914. This indicates that multiple filtering processes do not affect the quality of images produced by Kinect sensors. The number of 0.99 can be rounded to 1 so that the conclusion based on ROI image assessment shows no differences on image quality after process.

Published: July 2019

Particle tracking has been used widely to track a single particle motion or trajectory in a medium. One of the applications of the particle tracking is in sports analysis. The tracking method can be divided into, the wearable device based system and the image based system. The wearable device based system utilizing global (GPS) and local (LPM) positioning system to track player movement. The image based system use video image processing to track the player movement and recorded is frames basis. However, the image processing method in a football match requires correction as it is normally recorded from the side of the field. Thus, to solve this problem a set of mathematical solution is needed to convert the image coordinate system (pixels) to the actual coordinate system (meters). The most commonly used is the homography method. The technique requires at least 4 reference points to transform the image coordinate into the actual coordinate system. In this project, a futsal game was recorded. The image coordinate of the player were marked in each frame with respect to the time. The image coordinate data were converted into the actual coordinate using homography matrix. Comparisons were made between the homography technique method and open-source available image warp processing method for validation. Based on the result, the homography coordinate transformation system produce a good agreement with actual player activity on the field.

Published: July 2019

Single-agent Finite Impulse Response Optimizer (SAFIRO) is a recently proposed metaheuristic optimization algorithm which adopted the procedure of the ultimate unbiased finite impulse response filter (UFIR) in state estimation. In SAFIRO, a random mutation with shrinking local neighborhood method is employed during measurement phase to balance the exploration and the exploitation process. Beta, β, is one of the parameters used in the local neighborhood to control the step size. In this study, the effect of β towards the performance of SAFIRO is observed by assigning the value of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20. The best setting of β for SAFIRO is also determined. The CEC2014 Benchmark Test Suite is used to evaluate the SAFIRO performance with different β values. Results show that the performance of β is depending on the problems to be optimized. 17 out of 30 functions show the best performance of SAFIRO by setting β = 10. Statistical analysis using Friedman test and Holm post hoc test were performed to rank the performance. β = 10 has the highest rank where its performance is significantly better than other values, but equivalent to β = 5 and β = 15. Hence, it is recommended to tune the β for best performance, however, β = 10 is a good value to be used in SAFIRO for solving optimization problems.

Published: July 2019

Simulated Kalman filter (SKF) is an optimization algorithm which is inspired by Kalman filtering method. SKF was introduced as synchronous population-based algorithm. This work introduced a new variation of SKF which is SKF with asynchronous update mechanism, asynchronous-SKF (ASKF). In contrast to the synchronous implementation where the whole population go through each optimization step as a group, in ASKF an agent starts its optimization steps only after its preceding agent has completed all optimization steps. The performance of ASKF is compared against SKF using CEC2014 benchmark functions, where the ASKF is found to perform significantly better than the original SKF.

Published: July 2019

Activity recognition plays a major role in smart home technologies in providing services to users. One of the approaches to identify activity is through the use of knowledge-driven reasoning. This paper presents a framework of semantic activity recognition, which is used to support smart home systems to identify users’ activities based on the existing context. The framework consists of two main components: a semantic knowledge base and an activity recognition module. The knowledge base is represented using ontology and it is used to provide a semantic understanding of the environment in order to classify users’ patterns of activities. Experimental results show that the proposed approach can support the classification process and accurately infer users’ activities with the accuracy of 90.9%.

Authors: Faizal Hakim Hidzir Mohd , Imran Sainan Khairul , Husain Hazran
Published: July 2019

A standpipe is a component that functions to remove the condensate of gas from the oil that flows inside the O&G piping system underneath. Efficient gas removal promotes better crude oil quality and increases productivity. The deflector plates integrity in a stand pipe, where thin plates are mounted on the pipe walls periodically in the direction of fluid flow, has been numerically investigated.  The aim of this investigation is to determine how the working fluid density and deflectors thickness influenced the plates integrity. Two working fluids were tested. Natural gas and crude oil which has a higher density. The thickness of the plates was 3 mm and 6 mm. A series of simulation analyses were done analytically through CFD and FEA simulation method using ANSYS software. Based on the results, crude oil produces higher stress onto the plates. This causes large plate deflection. It was observed, the plates near to the standpipe inlet were subjected to the highest stress. Stress on the deflector plates drops as the fluid travel along the pipe height. The deflector plates of 3 mm were failed under these conditions and were not recommended for usage.

Published: July 2019

Searching for mineral and energy resources in various regions of the Arctic basin has revealed the presence of huge reserves of oil, gas and other extractable resources. The coast of the Arctic Ocean, i.e. the European and the Asian north of Russia turns into the region of active economic development.Population migration flows into these regions will increase every year. People will move from the favorable climatic conditions to the extreme conditions of the Arctic. The harsh conditions of the Arctic are particularly heavy for the weather sensitive people with increased excitability of the central nervous system.In the extreme weather conditions, food is the most important means of organism protection. Therefore, a balanced diet is the most important means of human adaptation in the northern latitudes, with bee-farming products playing a huge role [4, 7].The Great Vasyugan swamp is the largest swamp with the area of 53,000 km2. It covers the Ob-and-Irtysh watershed, and stretches within 55040Ê¹â€“58060Ê¹ N and 75030Ê¹â€“83030Ê¹ E; its southern border stretches 573 km from the right bank of the Irtysh River to the left bank of the Ob River. From the southern border to the north, the swamp stretches for 320 km. In this area, there are huge reserves of peat, which make over 61% of the total stock in Russia. Among the swamp, there are islands, i.e. spaces not occupied by swamps and lakes, and covered with forest and grass [2].In the Tsarist times, the Vasyugan swamp was considered unsuitable for agriculture. Development of this region started after the October revolution. People grew gray cereals, fodder crops, potatoes, and vegetables. In this area, local horse breed named â€œnarymkaâ€ was bred.After the Great Patriotic war, the Vasyugan Plain, or the Narym territory was deserted. Settlements were removed, and bushes and grass started growing in their place.Currently, the Great state program for studying the Narym territory has been started for using these areas to grow agricultural products to be supplied to the population of the Arctic Belt.Â Â

The article deals with the problems related to the balance between private and public interests when covering events by the mass media. One of the most important social tasks is coordinating various interests, reaching a compromise, and ensuring social harmony and partnership. The purpose of the present study consists in analyzing the right to privacy when covering events by the mass media and identifying specifics of private and public interests. The research is based on the observation method that allowed obtaining a specific factual material. Monitoring was carried out according to the developed plan involving the allocation of specific monitoring objects and stages. The study offers the authorsâ€™ definitions of private and public interests, highlights the main features of public interest, as well as identifies the distinctive features of private and public interests. On the basis of the conducted analysis it is proposed to introduce the Concept of privacy (the right to be left alone), excluding cases where the right to privacy can be violated and where the information related to the privacy of a person can be disseminated without the consent of the person. This proposal is practical in nature and will allow the mass media to specificate the notion of the right to privacy.Â

Article considers Adyghe (Circassian) religiosity and its reproduction in contemporary prose. Conducted study and a variety of problems in this case are rare, besides, almost complete cancellation of any research activity in today's Russia is known. And the problems are not studied enough. Therefore, the relevance of the selected topic is undoubtedly important, and we are developing it using a number of analytical and synthetic methods inherent in humanitarian knowledge. In the course of research, we established that the fact that both religions common today (Christianity, Islam) are not at all sources of interethnic difficulties, and concluded that the state must strive to support the existing religious branches (in particular, Islam and Christianity). The relevance of this work is that the problems in this field are too little studied, and our research provides new data, as well as a new look at this topic.Â Â

Published: July 2019

The article is concerned with methodological approaches to development strategies for tourism and hospitality industry enterprises. It has been found that most regions, local tourist destinations, tourism and hospitality industry businesses do not have any clear formalized strategy. It was determined that some tourism and hospitality industry businesses apply only individual elements of strategic management, i.e. do not have an integrated system of strategic management. Methodological tools have been proposed for elaborating development strategies for tourism and hospitality industry enterprises, which show that strategic management, which is methodological by nature, i.e. is characterized by the conceptual approach and panoramic vision, cannot give an exact and clear view of the tourism industryâ€™s future. It was proved that strategic management cannot be limited to a set of universal and routine rules, procedures or schemes. It was defined that strategic management requires great efforts, time and resources to make the activity of tourism and hospitality industry businesses remarkable.Â Â Â

Published: July 2019

This article discusses the issues of operability of nonautonomous pneumatic drive under workshop conditions. It is mentioned that in order to provide efficient operation and achievement of rated modes by nonautonomous pneumatic drive, it is required to coordinate its variables with variables of air supply system. On the basis of one-dimensional equation of adiabatic gas frictional flow in cylindrical pipe, the problem of determination of maximum achievable power by nonautonomous pneumatic drive at fixed hydraulic properties of supply system has been solved. The obtained dependences make it possible to calculate minimum allowed pipeline diameter of supply system providing preset maximum power of pneumatic drive. It is proved that the coefficient of total pressure conservation corresponding to maximum drive power is precisely determined by available pressure drop and does not depend on hydraulic properties of the system, and in order to achieve maximum drive power, strictly determined portion of available flow energy should be consumed for overcoming of the system hydraulic resistance not depending of reduced pipeline length.Â

Authors: Georgievna Lazareva Victoria , Aleksandrovna Bananova Valentina
Published: July 2019

This article represents the results of multi-annual researches of desertification processes in droughty part of Europe - Russian Caspian Basin. Authors consider desertification as unification which leads to degradation of all components of arid ecosystems. It has been determined, that ecological-dynamic series of vegetational communities have the largest indicative value on quaternary terraces of Caspian Basin. They allow to trace the degradation sequence, to allocate the evaluation criteria and stages of desertification. Modern region vegetation is a result of cattle pasture and water management. It has been established that the vegetation of Late Khvalynian terrace on loamy soils is the most resistant to processes of degradation. The most vulnerable is young New Caspian. Cartographic materials confirm convertibility of desertification processes in semi-arid zone of European continent in response to natural-anthropogenic factors.Â Â

Published: July 2019

The studies of human influence on the effectiveness of professional activity should consider that the concept of â€œhuman factorâ€ is too general, and it is impossible to use it for an objective evaluation of humanâ€™s professional activity. The most powerful and robust factors of human behavior, such as virtue, will and interest, are not considered enough in the studies of the influence of the human factor on the individualâ€™s professional activity.The research results presented in the article change the existing opinion that the only way to increase the effectiveness of professional activity is to increase the effort to select people with the necessary qualities, skills and high level of professional and psychological training. Such effort to optimize the secondary factors, and ignorance towards the effect of the key behavioral factors (virtue â€“ will â€“ interest), are the fundamental errors and the reasons of the low work effectiveness.Â Â Â
Change in the Category of Land for Agricultural Purposes
Authors: Aleksandrovich Mayboroda Victor
Published: July 2019

This article is based on the comparative analysis of civil, land and urban planning legislation. It reveals inconsistency in the regulatory planning of agricultural land use in case of changing its category. As a rule, the subsequent use of agricultural land for different purposes usually leads to fertility loss. This reproduction method has no price and is not expressed in monetary terms. The criteria for determining the value of land used by the Russian legislation are off-market surrogates. In this regard, they are used to transform the value of the land without market turnover into the value of land plots that are characterized by certain market conditions and high demand. Thus, the author of the article suggests supplementing the revealed shortcomings of established regulatory practices with the SEEA accounting system developed by the United Nations Organization to evaluate natural-ecological objects. SEEA (or a similar tool) is used for changing the category of agricultural land as a means of saving land fertility for future generations.Â Â
Phenomenology of Collective Will in the Management of Shared Agricultural Land Plots
Authors: Aleksandrovich Mayboroda Victor
Published: July 2019

This paper addresses the advent of a new stage in the development of relationships associated with the management of agricultural land plots that are in shared ownership. The social group that emerged based on principles of the initial privatization, which was characterized by value-based unity based on collective labor in agricultural production, has, in the course of time, been supplanted by a new type of owners â€“ those not characterized by value-based unity. The method for managing a common property â€“ through general meetings â€“ remains the same. There has yet to be put in place a legal instrument for dealing with the socially inhomogeneous makeup of the owners group that would make it possible to form the collective will of general meetings in accordance with the objectives for managing a property, as the very inhomogeneity of the makeup precludes the possibility of unity of management objectives. In this situation, the phenomenon of collective will lacks proper legal protection from usurpation by an economically strong entity. In this regard, the author proposes carrying out a differentiation of the types of disputes and procedural methods for resolving those disputes.Â Â Â
