Determination of flow resistance coefficient for vegetation in open channel: laboratory study

This study focused on determination of flow resistances coefficient for grass in an open channel. Laboratory works were conducted to examine the effects of varying of roughness elements on the flume to determine flow resistance coefficient and also to determine the optimum flow resistance with five different flow rate, Q. Laboratory study with two type of vegetation which are Cow Grass and Pearl Grass were implementing to the bed of a flume. The roughness coefficient, n value is determine using Manning’s equation while Soil Conservation Services (SCS) method was used to determine the surface resistance. From the experiment, the flow resistance coefficient for Cow Grass in range 0.0008 - 0.0039 while Pearl Grass value for the flow resistance coefficient are in between 0.0013 - 0.0054. As a conclusion the vegetation roughness value in open channel are depends on density, distribution type of vegetation used and physical characteristic of the vegetation itsel

Chemometric techniques in distribution, characterisation and source apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) in aquaculture sediments in Malaysia.

This study investigated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution in surface sediments within aquaculture areas in Peninsular Malaysia using chemometric techniques, forensics and univariate methods. The samples were analysed using soxhlet extraction, silica gel column clean-up and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The total PAH concentrations ranged from 20 to 1841 ng/g with a mean of 363 ng/g dw. The application of chemometric techniques enabled clustering and discrimination of the aquaculture sediments into four groups according to the contamination levels. A combination of chemometric and molecular indices was used to identify the sources of PAHs, which could be attributed to vehicle emissions, oil combustion and biomass combustion. Source apportionment using absolute principle component scores–multiple linear regression showed that the main sources of PAHs are vehicle emissions 54%, oil 37% and biomass combustion 9%. Land-based pollution from vehicle emissions is the predominant contributor of PAHs in the aquaculture sediments of Peninsular Malaysia

A Comprehensive Study on CO2-CH4 Gas Separation Using γ-Alumina Membrane and Parameters Affecting Permeability and Separation Behavior

Membrane separation has emerged as one of the most vital and practical useful modern separation techniques. Membrane-based gas separation is an important unit operation for the separation of many gas mixtures in oil and petrochemical industries such as acid gases removal like CO2 and H2S from natural gas and organic vapors removal from air. This report comprises the basic introduction of research area which includes background on membrane usage, types of membrane for intended separation and problems associated with this separation. The objective of this study is to develop mathematical model for CO2-CH4 separation using γ-alumina membrane and analyse parameters affecting permeability and separation behavior. Meanwhile, the scope of work is divided into development of permeability models for various transport mechanisms, development of membrane balance, simulation work for numerous parameters testing and analysis of permeability and separation performance. The methodology is divided into two algorithms for permeability and separation perfomance respectively. Generally, the permeability is expected to increase with higher pore size, higher pressure and lower temperature. As for selectivity, smaller pore and lower temperature is better. Other than that, lower stage cut results in lower CH4 loss, higher CO2 retained and higher CO2 removed. Meanwhile, higher feed CO2 will increase the amount of CO2 removed and CO2 retained

The construction of the Malaysian Educators Selection Inventory (MEdSI): a large scale assessment initiative / Joharry Othman...[et al.]

of a nation’s human resource is undeniable. In Malaysia, teaching has always been perceived as a financially secure and relatively easy job by many, resulting in mass application for entry into teacher education programmes. Many of those who aspire and opto to go into the teaching profession however do so regardless of their personal interests, potential, and values. Pursuing a program that does not fit a person’s personality and interest – despite initially having good academic credentials and excellent co-curricular involvement in school – may result in unsatisfactory academic performance, frustration, change of program and even withdrawal at college level. Hence, in the quest for selecting suitable teacher trainee candidates, a psychometrically sound instrument known as the Malaysian Educators Selection Inventory (MEdSI) was developed as a screening measure to filter the large number of teacher hopefuls. This paper specifically describes the theoretical basis and the constructs of the instrument developed

This type of research is ex-postfacto research, the approach used in this research is a quantitative approach. The independent variable in this study is emotional intelligence while learning outcomes as the dependent variable. Research instruments use the scale of emotional intelligence and documents. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis with simple regression analysis techniques. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the emotional intelligence of students in grade V SD Inpres Bontomanai Makassar City was in the medium category with a percentage of 59.52%, while the mathematics learning outcomes of students in the fifth grade of SD Inpres Bontomanai Makassar City were in the medium category with a percentage of 71.43% . The inferential analysis results show that the regression equation obtained Y = 87,818 + 0,02X. From the significant test results obtained a significant value of 0.985 where significant values > 0.05 (0.985> 0.05), thus H0 is accepted. The conclusion of this study is that there is no effect of emotional intelligence on the learning outcomes of students in the fifth grade of Inpres Bontomanai Elementary School of Makassar City.ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kecerdasan emosional terhadap hasilbelajar matematika peserta didik kelas V SD Inpres Bontomanai Kota Makassar.

Konsep Syukur dalam Al-Qur’an (studi QS. Ibrahim [14]:7 dengan pendekatan Ma’na Cum Maghza)

Syukur in the Qur'an is very interesting to discuss, what makes this interesting is because syukur has various meanings and messages from the verse that talks about it. The diversity of meanings raises its own problems, namely what is the meaning of syukur and the message it conveys. Therefore, this paper will try to explore the meaning of the word syukur which is juxtaposed with the word kufr in the letter of Ibrahim verse 7 with the ma'nā cum maghzā approach which was initiated by Shahiron Syamsuddin.This study uses the maudhu'i / thematic method by means of descriptive analysis and uses the Ma'na Cum Maghza approach. This type of research uses qualitative research, in the form of library research, which refers to two sources, namely primary sources and secondary sources. The primary source is the Qur'an and the secondary source is obtained from data or references related to this research.The results of the study of the meaning of gratitude in QS. Ibrahim [14] : 7 with the Ma'na Cum Maghza approach shows that understanding the concept of gratitude in a more practical and meaningful way has a major contribution to a person's success and happiness. Maghza al-father or the main message of this verse down is that a more contextual gratitude has a broad dimension of social benefit and benefit. The keys to understanding and interpretation that are more human with a human dimension as well as a more transcendental one with a divine dimension always strengthen the inner eye of gratitude for the perpetrator. The contextualization of gratitude here makes us try to be consistent in practicing gratitude in the real world as well as the virtual world. In this condition, it is realized that gratitude is a dynamic process that never ends (never ending process). The more grateful you are, the more happiness you feel. It is here, an understanding that is in accordance with the interests, needs and challenges faced, it is hoped that the experience and practice of gratitude to Allah truly starts from sincerity and sincerity in doing genuine charity so that it is useful in human life in this world and the hereafter
