Rancang Bangun Mesin Pengiris Ubi dengan Kapasitas 30 Kg/jam

Kualitas keripik ubi ditentukan oleh tiga faktor utama yaitu rasa dan kerenyahan serta bentuk irisan yang tidak pecah/rusak. Cara mengiris ubi merupakan salah satu kendala utama untuk menghasilkan keripik ubi yang bermutu. Kebanyakan industri keripik ubi masih menggunakan cara manual, dengan menggunakan pisau untuk mengiris ubi sehingga irisan tidak optimal. Jika ubi masih panjang, proses pengirisan dapat dilakukan dengan mudah, akan tetapi jika ubi sudah pendek (karena sudah diiris), maka ekstra hati-hati kalau tidak membahayakan tangan pekerja. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah membuat teknologi tepat guna berupa mesin pengiris ubi. Dengan mesin pengiris ubi ini diharapkan mampu menghasilkan irisan ubi dengan ketebalan yang sama serta dapat meningkatkan kapasitas produksi. Metode yang digunakan pada kegiatan ini yaitu pemilihan dan perhitungan komponen alat yang dirancang, pembuatan rancang bangun mesin pengiris ubi, dan dilanjutkan dengan peragaan uji coba terhadap kinerja mesin pengiris ubi. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah rancang bangun mesin pengiris ubi. Dengan daya motor penggerak ¼ Hp mesin pengiris ubi ini mampu menghasilkan produksi sebesar 30 kg/jam dengan dua variasi pengirisan (lurus dan miring), serta menggunakan tiga mata pisau pada piringan pemutar yang dapat diatur untuk mendapatkan hasil irisan sesuai keinginan konsumen

Peran Center for Internasional Forestry Research (Cifor) Di Indonesia Terkait Mekanisme Reducing Emission From Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) 2007-2014

This research aimed to cexplain the role of an International organization CIFOR at a Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Indonesia. The organization is an organization that focused on forestry research. Since the issue of climate change become the attention of the world and also the attention of student. Indonesia became one of the foremost in support of the issue. In COP 13 which is a string of framework under the UNFCCC appears a scheme for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation. The scheme also is the reference Indonesia and other countries for support to solve the problem of climate change, such a scheme known as REDD. The theory used in this paper is the role theory. In this research, The method used of qualitative methods, qualitative research is a descriptive understanding. This research found that the role of International organizations in supporting and contributing to problem a country can be as Motivator, communicator, and Fasilitator

PERAN KEUNGGULAN BERSAING MEMEDIASI PENGARUH ORIENTASI KEWIRAUSAHAAN TERHADAP KINERJA PEMASARAN

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on performance marketing mediated competitive advantage. Research was conducted on the retail clothing store owner in the form of small-scale outlets (outlet) clothing boutiques. The sample size of 105 respondents, by using non-probability shaped sampling. Teknik incidental and purposive analysis of the data used is Path Analysis and Sobel test. Based on the analysis it was found that the regression model used in compliance with the assumptions of classical test. This study found that 1) Orientation Entrepreneurship positive and significant effect on the Competitive Advantage; 2) Competitive Advantage positive and significant effect on marketing performance; 3) Orientation Entrepreneurship positive and significant effect on marketing performance; 4) Competitive Advantage proved to be positive and significant mediating effect on the Performance Marketing Entrepreneurship Orientation

The Periosteal Bone Surface is Less Mechano-Responsive than the Endocortical

Dynamic processes modify bone micro-structure to adapt to external loading and avoid mechanical failure. Age-related cortical bone loss is thought to occur because of increased endocortical resorption and reduced periosteal formation. Differences in the (re)modeling response to loading on both surfaces, however, are poorly understood. Combining in-vivo tibial loading, in-vivo micro- tomography and finite element analysis, remodeling in C57Bl/6J mice of three ages (10, 26, 78 week old) was analyzed to identify differences in mechano- responsiveness and its age-related change on the two cortical surfaces. Mechanical stimulation enhanced endocortical and periosteal formation and reduced endocortical resorption; a reduction in periosteal resorption was hardly possible since it was low, even without additional loading. Endocortically a greater mechano-responsiveness was identified, evident by a larger bone-forming surface and enhanced thickness of formed bone packets, which was not detected periosteally. Endocortical mechano-responsiveness was better conserved with age, since here adaptive response declined continuously with aging, whereas periosteally the main decay in formation response occurred already before adulthood. Higher endocortical mechano-responsiveness is not due to higher endocortical strains. Although it is clear structural adaptation varies between different bones in the skeleton, this study demonstrates that adaptation varies even at different sites within the same bone

PrivateRide: A Privacy-Enhanced Ride-Hailing Service

In the past few years, we have witnessed a rise in the popularity of ride-hailing services (RHSs), an on-line marketplace that enables accredited drivers to use their own cars to drive ride-hailing users. Unlike other transportation services, RHSs raise significant privacy concerns, as providers are able to track the precise mobility patterns of millions of riders worldwide. We present the first survey and analysis of the privacy threats in RHSs. Our analysis exposes high-risk privacy threats that do not occur in conventional taxi services. Therefore, we pro- pose PrivateRide, a privacy-enhancing and practical solu- tion that offers anonymity and location privacy for riders, and protects drivers’ information from harvesting attacks. PrivateRide lowers the high-risk privacy threats in RHSs to a level that is at least as low as that of many taxi services. Using real data-sets from Uber and taxi rides, we show that PrivateRide significantly enhances riders’ privacy, while preserving tangible accuracy in ride matching and fare calculation, with only negligible effects on convenience. Moreover, by using our Android implementation for experimental evaluations, we show that PrivateRide’s overhead during ride setup is negligible. In short, we enable privacy- conscious riders to achieve levels of privacy that are not possible in current RHSs and even in some conventional taxi services, thereby offering a potential business differentiator

Characterization of a New Biotype Moringa of Saudi Arabia Using Rapd and Issr Markers

Moringa peregrina and M. oleifera are the only Moringa species found in Saudi Arabia. Both species are drought resistant and have very high nutritional and medicinal properties. Detection of genetic diversity is of great value for the improvement of nutritional and medicinal value of these plants. The aim of the present study was to characterize a new biotype Moringa observed in Al Bahah Region, Saudi Arabia. We used 11 RAPD and 15 ISSR primers to characterize and compare the new biotype with M. peregrina and M. oleifera. Level of polymorphism generated by each marker was calculated. We also calculate Nei and Li\u27s coefficient to measure the genetic distance between the studied species. Level of polymorphism generated by RAPD and ISSR was 46% and 57%, respectively. RAPD and ISSR primers revealed that the new biotype shared 55 amplicons (45.08%) with both M. peregrina and M. oleifera, 28 amplicons with M. peregrina (22.95%), 21 amplicons (17.21%) with M. oleifera, and displayed 18 unshared amplicons (14.75%). Based on RAPD data, genetic distance between M. oleifera and M. peregrina was 0.32, whereas genetic distance between the new biotype and M. oleifera and M. peregrina was 0.21 and 0.29, respectively. For ISSR data, genetic distance between M. oleifera and M. peregrina was 0.5, whereas genetic distance between the new biotype and M. oleifera and M. peregrina was 0.36 and 0.34, respectively. Based on these results we suggested that the new biotype is a hybrid crossbred between M. peregrina and M. oleifera

Semiclassical Strings Probing NS5 Brane Wrapped on S^5

We study little string theory on R^1 x S^5, defined by a theory which lives on type IIA N NS5 branes wrapped on S^5, using its supergravity dual. In particular we study semiclassical rotating closed strings in this background. We also consider Penrose limit of this background that leads to a plane wave on which string theory is exactly solvable.Comment: 14 pages, Latex, v2: typos corrected, Refs. added, v3: typos correcte
