Milling is one of the most common machining methods in the industry today to produce the desire shape from raw workpiece. Improvement of milling performance is always the simplest way to reduce the production cost and increase the productâ€™s quality. Since cutting tool is the basic requirement of a milling process, the study on structure of cutting tool especially the cutting edge is a breakthrough point to enhance the milling performance.Â Geometry of cutting edge of uncoated endmill with diameter of 6mm had been modified through edge preparation process in this study. The cutting radius had been enlarged and the roughness on cutting edge is smoother after the preparation process. The second method to improve milling performance in this study is utilization of cutting fluid. Besides conventional flood cutting, Minimal Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is another method to provide lubrication and reduce cutting temperature by coolant in â€œmistâ€ form. In this study, both cutting edge preparation and MQL methods are applied in side milling as well as slot milling. The chosen material for the workpiece was stainless steel, a metal with non-magnetic and high corrosion resistance characteristics. The milling performance was evaluated by cutting force and machined surface roughness, which are measured by dynamometer and roughness tester respectively. The lowest cutting force with 93.23N as well as lowest side surface roughness of 0.42Î¼m in slot milling was observed under MQL condition with edge prepared tool.Â Â

Study of Humanity as a Preventive Action Against Terrorism based on Behaviorism Theory
Authors: Nurhayati Mamun Titin , Riyani Tanty , Darjan Murnisari 
Published: July 2024

Terrorism is becoming a serious issue, making the world such an unsafe place for humans. According to the European Convention on The Suppression of Terrorism in 1977, terrorism is no longer a criminal behavior against the state, but criminal behavior against humanity. The main cause of terrorism is the spread of radicalism, which semantically means: the notion of wanting change or social and political renewal by violent means. Of course, the eradication of radicalism and terrorism can only be done in a preventive way, namely through learning about the value of humanity from an early age. Based on the theory of Behaviorism, learning is the process of interaction between stimulus and response, so changes in behavior due to learning activities can be tangible. Hence the inclusion of humanitarian studies into the curriculum of education of each country is essential, because the value that is invested early on through the process of learning in the class will be more inherent in the minds of each student, the results and indicators of success can be easily measured. The implementation of the idea is adapted to the culture and educational conditions prevailing in each country, and we are in need of UNESCO involvement which is a Non-Government Organization under the United Nations to carry out the control function as an international organization engaged in education. The outcome of implementing this idea is certainly the decline in the number of radicalism-terrorism that takes place, making the world a more humanist place in the future.Â Â

Published: July 2024

In the holistic technique (HT) the whole information of the Arabic word is calculated using many possible features. In this paper, this approach is used to test the possible uses of the HT in the Arabic OCR systems. The HT is used to reduce the possible candidates for each word. We succeeded to reduce the candidates to around 115 with accuracy over 99%, given a single font and a single size from a large lexicon of more than 356K words. This vocabulary size has a good coverage for the Arabic Language. This means that the problem facing the OCR classifier is tremendously reduced, and much higher accuracy can be expected for the OCR systems.Â Â

Influence of Initial Conditions on Unsaturated Groundwater Flow Models
Authors: Mohd Taib Aizat , Raihan Taha Mohd , Zulaika Abang Hasbollah Dayang 
Published: July 2024

Slope failure in unsaturated soils is common in tropical countries due to the seasonal pattern of abundant rainfall preceding a period of prolonged drying. Much research has been undertaken to understand the behaviour of unsaturated slopes and reduce the number of catastrophic failures. The initial conditions are important factors in numerical modelling of the groundwater flow yet rarely considered in detail in the literature. This paper presents a parametric study of the initial conditions at a slope in Bukit Timah, Singapore. The intensity and duration of rainfall are varied to assess the effect on the pore-water pressure in the slope. The generated pore-water pressure profile is compared with field measurements and previous numerical studies. It is discovered that a low rainfall, with an intensity of 1x10-7 m/s over a period of 62 days, results in initial pore-water pressure which is consistent with data recorded at the field. Unlike the duration, changes in the rainfall intensity are shown to have a significant effect on the pore-water pressure in the slope. This study, therefore, demonstrates the importance of determining appropriate initial conditions in unsaturated groundwater flow analysis.Â Â Â

Authors: F. Senin S. , S. Jaafar M. , Hamid R. 
Published: July 2024

Water wastage due to leakages in the water distribution system is a common problem encountered worldwide. The detection and localization of water pipesâ€™ leakages in the underground pipe system is possible by the high-resolution images of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) with 1.6 GHz antenna. Experimental simulation of water leakage for shallow buried PVC pipe at a depth of 0.24 m and 0.23 m in mediums of dry sand and loose soil, respectively was performed. Holes were drilled in the middle of the pipe to allow water to leak inside the soils. The presence of water in the soils is detected as the soilsâ€™ moistures influence the GPR signal reflection characteristics. The GPR images show appearance of delayed hyperbolas and the attenuation of reflection when the water content increased. The increased in dielectric constant and the reduction of wave velocity of the GPR signals in soil enabled the inspector to detect the water leakage in pipes. Results showed that the depth of the water leakages in the pipes were detected at 0.242 m 0.220 m respectively. GPR method is able to locate the underground water pipes leakages in the underground pipes accurately.Â Â

In general, the concrete suffering of brittleness and weakness to resist the direct and tensile stresses.Â In Malaysia, millions of tons of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste accumulated from the single use of drinking water bottles, its accumulation creates threat on the civilian life and the environment. Inclusion of shredded PET waste in concrete may help mitigate the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment and further produce green/sustainable concrete and solve the weakness of tensile strength. In current research, 0.0 to 1.75% of coarse aggregate weight was replaced by PET waste to delve into the behavior of low velocity impact strength of concrete containing PET at early and long curing age. It was positive that some of the ratios helped to enhance the impact strength at age 28 days, where the number of blows increased to 80%, and at age 90 days, the number of blows increased up to 4 times compared with age 28 days. The results exhibited to the possibility of utilizing PET waste by low volumes to produce new concrete has good strength and contributes in reducing the plastic waste negative impact on the environment.Â

Effective treatment of wastewater is crucial to reduce the impact of industry and human activities on the environment. Thus, a more efficient water treatment is needed to remove the components of waste, or the pollutants, faster. Hence in the case of this study, the aim was to investigate the use of bio-filters to remove ammonia-nitrogen and endocrine disrupters (17Î±-ethynylestradiol, the EE2, and mestranol, the MeEE2) in a batch culture experiment. The initial concentrations of 100 Âµg/L of EE2 and 100 Âµg/L of MeEE2 were prepared and added to the batch reactor with bio-filters.Â The bio-filters contained four concentrations of ammonia-nitrogen which were 35 mg/L, 65 mg/L, 85 mg/L and 100 mg/L. The results showed that with 35 mg/L of ammonia-nitrogen, the concentration of the EE2 and the MeEE2 was reduced to 30 Âµg/L showing 70% of them removed over the incubation period.Â Whereas with 65 mg/L of ammonia-nitrogen, the EE2 and MeEE2 were reduced to 27 Âµg/L and 22 Âµg/L, of which 73% of the EE2 was removed while the MeEE2, 78%.Â Thirdly, with 85 mg/L ammonia-nitrogen, the concentration of both oestrogens was reduced nearly the same, which was the EE2 16 Âµg/L and the MeEE2 14 Âµg/L. Here, 84% of the EE2 was removed and the MeEE2, 86%. Lastly, using 100 mg/L of ammonia-nitrogen, the concentrations of the EE2 and the MeEE2 were reduced to 11 Âµg/L and 14 Âµg/L, thus removing 89% of the former and 86% the later. These results displayed the highest removal of oestrogens in comparison with other experiments at different initial concentrations of ammonia-nitrogen in the attached growth system of bio-filters.Â Â

Published: July 2024

Designing controller systems for large-scale processes in a centralized form are faced with computational burden due to the large number of decision variables involved, however these difficulties can be overcome by decentralization or decomposition of the optimal control problems into smaller sub-systems in a hierarchical manner. Hence, this paper presents a decentralized adaptive real-time optimizing (RTO) control scheme for determining and maintaining the optimum steady-state operating conditions for inter-connected large scale industrial processes. The proposed strategy extends the applicability of the centralized non-derivative algorithm and by structuring it hierarchically in a decentralized fashion as in the Integrated System Optimisation and Parameter Estimation (ISOPE) technique. The proposed algorithm has been formulated in two different ways of utilising the available measurement from the plants: the first method employs input-output feedback and the second method uses only output feedback. The simulation examples are provided to illustrate and compares the methods in which the results show that the algorithm with input-output structure performs better with less number of set-point changes and faster convergence. Since the algorithm is designed in the decentralize form, the computation difficulties may adequately be dealt with.Â Â

Published: July 2024

The laser has the ability to radiate a fine shaft of light within a certain distance, yet it will produce excess infrared light that is invisible to the eye. Direct exposure towards the infrared light is extremely dangerous as it can cause serious eye damage. Therefore a self-leveling laser for direction marking system is proposed to control the movement of the laser and to reduce the risk of direct exposure to the eye. The development of the system is achieved with a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) gyroscope and accelerometer to support the structure orientation of the mounted laser on a servo motor before the laser emits light. Data from both sensors are successfully merged through a complementary filter with a filter factor, a = 0.97. Moreover, the light intensity of 532 nm green and 650 nm red wavelength laser diodes were measured using a spectrometer and the comparison shows that the green laser has a narrower linewidth as the distance is increased.Â Â Â
