Development of Student Attendance Information System at SMK Negeri 9 Medan

The conventional attendance process takes a long time during attendance and also during recording. Absenteeism recapitulation helps teachers monitor student attendance in class. In addition, attendance recapitulation can be one of the considerations in the assessment. The information system can help the conventional attendance recapitulation process become automatic. Vocational High School (SMK) Negeri 9 is a school located in Medan City, North Sumatra. SMK Negeri 9 Medan has 5 majors with a total of 2077 students. Attendance management still uses conventional methods so it is necessary to conduct research related to the development of student attendance information systems. The methodology used in this research is problem identification, system requirement identification, data collection, system analysis and development. This study aims to facilitate the attendance process and attendance recapitulation. System development uses the Use Case Diagram model and Entity Relationship Diagram. The Use Case Diagram helps answer the functional requirements of the system desired by the school. While the Entity Relationship Diagram describes the database model. The model can be corrected to get the best results in database development

Quality control in GNSS reflectometry method for tide observations

Recently, the reflected signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have been utilized to observe coastal tides, and it has been found that this method provides promising results. Although this method is promising, there remain problems related to accuracy of the observed tides. The purpose of this study was to improve the accuracy by employing an optimal spectral method in the quality control scheme. The quality control process is carried out by setting parameters to achieve the best possible frequency correlated with sea levels such as estimation of the noise frequency range, frequency amplitude power selection, and selection of peak frequency to noise ratio. The results using the data at Morotai station showed that the amplitude power less than 5 comes from low-frequency signals and hence it is an indicator that the Lomb-Scargle periodogram (LSP) fails to determine the dominant frequency. In addition, the result of the peak frequency to noise ratio shows a value of 2.7, meaning that the peak frequency of the LSP signal is at least 2.7 times greater than the signal noise. Quality control sensitivity settings are very effective in determining the reflectors height coming from the sea level. The periodogram visualization can be used to decide which LSP is significant

Analysis the Effect of Different Surface Preparation Methods on Corrosion Resistance and Adhesion Strength of ASTM A36 Steel Substrate with Surface Tolerant Epoxy Paint as Coating Material

In the industrial world, to extend the service life of materials, protection methods are carried out to slow down the material's corrosion rate. The protection method that is often used is the coating method. The coating method is a protection method by coating the substrate material using a coating material to prevent contact between the substrate material and the environment. In this research, the substrate material used is ASTM A36 steel and the coating material used is Surface Tolerant Epoxy paint. The independent variable used in this study lies in the surface preparation method which consists of: solvent cleaning, hand tool cleaning, power tool cleaning, power tool to bare metal cleaning, and abrasive blast cleaning. Different preparation methods result in different roughness and cleanliness of the surface. This can affect changes in the mechanical properties of the coating material, such as corrosion resistance and adhesion strength. Based on the corrosion resistance test, it is found that the  abrasive blast cleaning and power tool to bare metal cleaning methods produce the highest corrosion resistance properties because both have a rating number of 8 in the salt spray test results. Based on the adhesion strength test, it is found that the abrasive blast cleaning method also produces the highest adhesion strength. This conclusion refers to the results of the tape x-cut test where the sample produces a rating number 5A where the sample does not experience peeling after testing. In addition, the abrasive blast cleaning method produced the highest adhesion strength in the pull-off test, which was 7.16 Mpa. Thus, the abrasive blast cleaning method is the most effective surface preparation method for ASTM A36 steel before being coated with the coating material. In addition, it can also be concluded that the higher the surface roughness of the sample, the better the corrosion resistance and adhesion strength

The Effect of Human Resource Capacity towards Performance of Electrical Energy Policy and Its Impact on Outcomes of Electrical Energy Policy Based on Regionalization in Indonesia

This study aims to examine the determinants of performance of electrical energy based on regionalization policy and their impact on the outcomes for the general public and to test the electrical energy policies performance impact towards the outcomes ofelectrical energy policy. This research was located in Indonesia in 2015, with a base of electrical energy policy in national scale. The research was conducted in 6 PLN working area that includes the Regional I: Sumatra, Region II West Java, Region III: East Java, Regional IV Kalimantan, Regional V: Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara, Regional VI: Papua and Maluku. The analylitical tool used is the Structural Equaiton Modeling (SEM) for testing the structural model, and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) for testing the difference for each region. The research show (1) There is a positive relationship between human resource capacity to performance and outcomes of electrical energy policy. The better human resource capacity, the better performance of electrical energy policy, and the better outcomes of electrical energy policy. (2) There is a positive relationship between performance of electrical energy policy to outcomes of electrical energy policy. The better performance of elctrical energy policy, the better outcomes of electrical energy policy. The organizational structure of PT PLN (Persero) that supports the regionalization policy is to prevent a slowdown in the process of completion of construction projects, problem solving and customer service operations. This regionalization policy needs to be organized well in which the Director is responsible based on job function and be responsible for the operational and business. Keywords: Human Resource Capacity, Performance of Electrical Energy Policy

Laboratory Experiments on Enhanced Oil Recovery with Nitrogen Injection

Based on previous studies, nitrogen injection could recover oil up to 45-90% of initial reserves. Although this method has a very good ability to produce oil, sometimes the operation pressure is higher than leak off formation pressure. In this study, operation pressure used a low pressure to solve this problem under immiscible process. Objective of this study is to determine the effect of injection pressure and displacement rate on oil recovery performance of continuous one dimensional nitrogen gas injection with a slim tube apparatus. The effect of nitrogen gas-oil contact on the gas composition was investigated using Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer apparatus. In the experiments, nitrogen gas was injected into an oil sample of 38.5 oAPI gravity at various rates: 20 cc/hr, 30 cc/hr and 36.66/hr under 1500 psi pressure, and then at 20 cc/hr undr 2500 psi pressure. The results showed that an increase in injection rate increased oil recovery factor. The recovery factor lies between 40-54% of original oil in place. Gas analysis before injection and at the injection outlet showed a change of composition. when oil was contacted by nitrogen, indicating that some molecular mass transfer had taken place
