    Perencanaan Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah (IPAL) Portable untuk Kegiatan Usaha Pencucian Mobil di Kota Surabaya

    Full text link
    Pencemaran lingkungan yang terjadi di Kota Surabaya tidak terlepas dari kegiatan industri salah satunya yaitu USAha pencucian mobil. Hal tersebut berdampak pada penurunan kualitas lingkungan dikarenakan USAha pencucian mobil belum memiliki IPAL untuk mengolah limbah yang dihasilkan. Sehingga masih banyaknya USAha pencucian mobil yang membuang air limbah pencucian mobil langsung ke badan air tanpa diolah terlebih dahulu.Dimensi untuk masing-masing unit ­­pre-treatment yang terdiri dari oil trap dan sumur pengumpul sebesar 1,3m x 0,6m x 1 m dan 1 m x 1 m x 1 m. Sedangkan dimensi unit IPAL portable yang terdiri dari tangki septik, aerobik biofilter, dan bak penampung secara berturut-turut sebesar 1,7 m x 0,4 m x 1,2 m; 0,5 m x 0,4 m x 1,2 m sebanyak 2 kompartemen; dan dimensi unit bak penampung yang diperoleh dari lahan IPAL portable yang tersisa sebesar 0,7 m x 0,4 m x 1,2 m. Anggaran biaya yang dibutuhkan untuk pembangunan unit pre-treatment sebesar Rp 1.590.000,00. Sedangkan untuk unit IPAL portable sebesar Rp 3.900.000,00

    Localization and diffusion in Ising-type quantum networks

    Full text link
    We investigate the effect of phase randomness in Ising-type quantum networks. These networks model a large class of physical systems. They describe micro- and nanostructures or arrays of optical elements such as beam splitters (interferometers) or parameteric amplifiers. Most of these stuctures are promising candidates for quantum information processing networks. We demonstrate that such systems exhibit two very distinct types of behaviour. For certain network configurations (parameters), they show quantum localization similar to Anderson localization whereas classical stochastic behaviour is observed in other cases. We relate these findings to the standard theory of quantum localization.Comment: 12 page

    Desain Sistem Monitoring Control and Surveillance Nasional Dalam Rangka Pembangunan Kelautan Indonesia (National Monitoring, Control and Surveillance Design System for Marine Development in Indonesia)

    Indonesia, an archipelago of 17,508 islands has an abundant of marine resources and also strategic position in International sea-traffic. MCS should be applied to protect Indonesia from illegal activities at the sea. The purpose of this research is to design a national monitoring control and surveillance system in developing Indonesian maritime. Benchmarking analysis was chosen as the preferred analysing method to compare the Indonesian MCS activities with 24 other countries. In order to determine the key factors of Indonesian MCS system, an expert survey was performed. The analysis result shows that the Indonesian MCS activities still operates in a low level compared to the MCS activities of many countries, such as Canada, Australia, and America. Thus, in order to reach a more preferred level, lndonesia has to improve their MCS operation base and furthermore also improve their MCS performance. In order to improve the Indonesian MCS system, factors such as legislation and permission should be more heavily considered, while the performance level of other factors relating to MCS should also be increased. Further research conducted through the SWOT and statistical analysis is still needed in order to determine the system development model of Indonesian MCS

    The Uncertainty Relation in "Which-Way" Experiments: How to Observe Directly the Momentum Transfer using Weak Values

    Full text link
    A which-way measurement destroys the twin-slit interference pattern. Bohr argued that distinguishing between two slits a distance s apart gives the particle a random momentum transfer \wp of order h/s. This was accepted for more than 60 years, until Scully, Englert and Walther (SEW) proposed a which-way scheme that, they claimed, entailed no momentum transfer. Storey, Tan, Collett and Walls (STCW) in turn proved a theorem that, they claimed, showed that Bohr was right. This work reviews and extends a recent proposal [Wiseman, Phys. Lett. A 311, 285 (2003)] to resolve the issue using a weak-valued probability distribution for momentum transfer, P_wv(\wp). We show that P_wv(\wp) must be wider than h/6s. However, its moments can still be zero because P_wv(\wp) is not necessarily positive definite. Nevertheless, it is measurable in a way understandable to a classical physicist. We introduce a new measure of spread for P_wv(\wp): half of the unit-confidence interval, and conjecture that it is never less than h/4s. For an idealized example with infinitely narrow slits, the moments of P_wv(\wp) and of the momentum distributions are undefined unless a process of apodization is used. We show that by considering successively smoother initial wave functions, successively more moments of both P_wv(\wp) and the momentum distributions become defined. For this example the moments of P_wv(\wp) are zero, and these are equal to the changes in the moments of the momentum distribution. We prove that this relation holds for schemes in which the moments of P_wv(\wp) are non-zero, but only for the first two moments. We also compare these moments to those of two other momentum-transfer distributions and \hat{p}_f-\hat{p}_i. We find agreement between all of these, but again only for the first two moments.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, submitted to J. Opt.

    Curve crossing in linear potential grids: the quasidegeneracy approximation

    Get PDF
    The quasidegeneracy approximation [V. A. Yurovsky, A. Ben-Reuven, P. S. Julienne, and Y. B. Band, J. Phys. B {\bf 32}, 1845 (1999)] is used here to evaluate transition amplitudes for the problem of curve crossing in linear potential grids involving two sets of parallel potentials. The approximation describes phenomena, such as counterintuitive transitions and saturation (incomplete population transfer), not predictable by the assumption of independent crossings. Also, a new kind of oscillations due to quantum interference (different from the well-known St\"uckelberg oscillations) is disclosed, and its nature discussed. The approximation can find applications in many fields of physics, where multistate curve crossing problems occur.Comment: LaTeX, 8 pages, 8 PostScript figures, uses REVTeX and psfig, submitted to Physical Review

    Fast noise in the Landau-Zener theory

    Full text link
    We study the influence of a fast noise on Landau-Zener transitions. We demonstrate that a fast colored noise much weaker than the conventional white noise can produce transitions itself or can change substantially the Landau-Zener transition probabilities. In the limit of fast colored or strong white noise we derive asymptotically exact formulae for transition probabilities and study the time evolution of a spin coupled to the noise and a sweeping magnetic field.Comment: 28 pages, 5 figure

    Achieving Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in Early Childhood Education Through Critical Reflection in Transformative Learning

    Get PDF
    The central role of education in creating a more sustainable future has been already recognized by educators and policy-makers alike. This chapter argues that this can only be truly achieved through the efforts of teachers in implementing an “education of a different kind,” a general educational shift that seeks to encompass a converging transformation of the priorities and mindsets of education professionals. In this regard, the professional preparation of teachers, as the leading actors in shaping children’s learning processes, and their continuous professional development are vital considerations for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) to be successfully achieved. Linking transformative learning and ESD has emerged as a distinct and useful pedagogy because they both support the process of critically examining habits of mind, then revising these habits and acting upon the revised point of view. This study aims to describe and evaluate the potential of transformative learning in innovating mainstream education toward sustainability by focusing on the role of critical reflection in a capacity building research project realized in Turkey. The data was gathered from 24 early childhood educators using a mixed-method research design involving learning diaries, a learning activities survey, and follow-up interviews. This chapter identified content, context, and application method of the in-service training as factors that have contributed to the reflective practices of the participants. In addition, presenting the implications regarding the individual differences in how learners engage in critical reflection practices, this research offers a framework for a content- and process-based approach derived from Mezirow’s conception of critical reflection
