Published: June 2020

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the muscular strength adaptation during resistance training performed through two methods of exercise order. Thirty recreationally active, resistance untrained men were recruited as research participants and were divided into three groups based on their specific tasks to be performed during six weeks training intervention; i) order A (multi-joint followed by single-joint exercises) ii) order B (single-joint followed by multi-joint exercises) and iii) control group. Bench press was performed as multijoint while chest fly was performed as single-joint exercises. 1RM value for bench press and chest fly exercises were measured pre and post training intervention as an indicator for muscular strength adaptation. Repeated measure analysis of variances (ANOVA) was conducted to determine the effects of training intervention in each groups. The percentages of 1RM score changes during the post test was compared between all groups using one way ANOVA. Results showed that both order A and order B groups improved their 1RM value for both exercises. Bench press 1RM was found to be greater in order A group. Findings of this study suggested that performing a multi-joint exercise first promote greater gain for the multijoint exercise while performing single-joint exercise first lead to no differences in single joint exercise strength gain.

Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of different stance-width; i) narrow, ii) shoulder and iii) wide, on muscle activation and performance during Romanian deadlift (RDL) exercise. Thirty recreationally resistance trained men aged of 19-23 years old (22.20±1.13) were involved in this study. The participants need to perform RDL with 80% of their 1RM in three sessions with three difference stances in randomized order. To measure the muscle activation level during performing the exercise, the electromyogram (EMG) marker was placed on vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, gluteus maximus and multifidus muscles. The number of repetitions completed during each sets was recorded as indicator for performance. The mean EMG value during concentric and eccentric movement along with the number of repetitions completed were analysed using one way repeated measure analysis of variances (ANOVA). The result showed no significant differences were found on EMG reading of vastus lateralis and bicep femoris during eccentric and concentric phase of RDL when three different stances were used. However, when wide stances were used, a significant difference was observed on gluteus maximus whilst significant differences on multifidus were obviously seen when narrow stance were used. Higher number of repetition completed was significantly found when wide and shoulder width stances were used compared to narrow stance. The results of this study revealed the importance to choose correct stance width (depending on training objective) while performing RDL due to its effects on the muscle activation and performance.

Shrinkage test of concrete: Methodology and variation of strain
Authors: Ibrahim N 
Published: June 2020

AbstractEvaluation of shrinkage strain in long concrete structures such as prestressed concrete box girder bridges is very important for the design of such structures. A wrong evaluation may contribute to loss of prestressing force, excessive deflections, cambers and cracking of the structure. It may also affect the durability and serviceability of the structure. The value of shrinkage strain is required during design, far before the construction process. However, realistic evaluation is still a difficult problem because shrinkage strain is influenced by the concrete composition and environmental factors such as humidity and temperature. Therefore, to gain the best evaluation, an experimental program was conducted to measure the shrinkage strain of concrete versus concrete age. Several concrete specimens were collected during pouring of several box girder segments of Tauranga Harbour Link, New Zealand. Variation of shrinkage strain versus concrete age for almost two years of data collection was plotted.

Abstract
In recent decades, azo dyes are more popularly used as synthetic dye for colorants compared to natural dye. The demand for dye colorants by industries is getting higher and this really gives negative effects on human health and ecology. Textile dyes are a major source of environmental pollution, aesthetic pollution, eutrophication, and problems in aquatic ecosystems. Biological treatment has come to be considered as cheaper than the physiochemical method and it is also environmentally eco-friendly. The broadly used synthetic azo dye is Congo red, as the target of textile effluent in wastewater. This study is to investigate the efficient degradation of bacteria against azo dyes by using biological treatment under aerobic condition by Bacillus sp bacteria. The highest percentage of efficiency of degradation at different condition was 83.12 % at 25 ppm with in 5 days at pH 7.55 and 30 °C, whereas the lowest percentage of efficiency of degradation at two different conditions is 9.00 % at 5 ppm within 1 day at pH 9.40 and 26 °C. As the conclusion, the effectiveness by degradation of Congo red dye Bacillus bacteria was within 5 days in 25 ppm. Thus by this present study, Bacillus could be used as a good microbial source for wastewater treatment, specifically in biological degradation of textile dye effluent in aerobic condition.

Abstract
This paper investigates analysis of a novel antenna design using plasma element instead of using metallic element as a conducting medium in transmit signal of radio frequency (RF). The main objective in this paper is to analyse the performance of plasma antenna using with different shapes of plasma tube. In this research, the simulation for four different designs (single tube, double tube, triple tube, and U-tube) with fixed gas (neon) and pressure (10 Torr) were conducted. Four different design tubes with constant length (160 mm) and diameter (10 mm), attached with coupling sleeve (copper) were used to analyze the electrical characteristic of electromagnetic wave propagation. Computer Simulation Technology (CST) was used to design the four custom made tubes and calculate the antenna parameters in terms of gain, return loss, directivity and radiation pattern. Plasma parameters were calculated by the CST software with frequency was set starting from 1 to 10 GHz for simulation based on the most effective range to get the best result. The results revealed that the triple tube has the highest gain of 3.247 dB with plasma frequency 1.22x109 rad/s and collision frequency 6.0985x108 collision/s. The three arrays on the triple tube gave the ability to transmit the input power into radiation in a specific magnitude is high. Although high gain obtained from the triple tube, U-tube shape gave the lowest Return Loss, S11 value which is -15.706934 dB. The results show the ability of plasma antenna to transmit and receive a signal which is a basic part of an antenna.

Abstract
Heart rate and blood pressure monitoring during physical activity and exercise allow early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and obesity. Plethysmography(PPG) has become popular worldwide for personal health monitoring systems. However, the accuracy of this technology in monitoring heart rate and blood pressure during activity is poorer than at rest. It limits their application. In this study, the performance of the wearable sensor and arm cuff blood pressure meter in measuring heart rate and blood pressure on the left arm is compared. Five healthy volunteers conducted the same exercise protocols, i.e., at rest, jump rope, treadmill walking, running (long run) and sprinting (short-run). The wearable sensor shows a mean absolute percentage error in 6.08% and Pearson coefficient in 0.61. Besides, the lowest range of 95% limit of agreement for diastolic blood pressure during treadmill run was found at 30.50.
