Procedure for deformation detection using STARNET

The main steps in the deformation detection via geodetic methods are the least square estimation (LSE) of each epoch, and the deformation detection between epochs. This research focuses on the development of an interface programs called CONVERT, to integrate STARNET V6 (a commercial software) and our in-house software (DEFORM99 and GPSAD 2000), for deformation detection between two epoch (for 2D and 3D applications respectively). In this research, STARNET V6 is used first for LSE of each epoch due to its powerful adjustment capabilities. Next, CONVERT reads the special files created by STARNET, and create the appropriate input files for DEFORM99 and GPSAD 2000. An example is included to show the possibility of using output from STARNET for deformations detection applications

Correlation Analysis Between Jakarta Composite Index and LQ45 Index with Net Asset Value of Equity Mutual Fund and Balanced Mutual Fund

Subprime mortgage is one factor causes world economic in crisis. The impact has stroke the stock exchange world wide, included Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI).The investors who are investing in the instrument of Stocks and Mutual Fund are having consequences of global financial crisis and index prices drops. In Indonesia, Mutual Fund is guaranteed by the BAPEPAM with the Act of Capital Market no.8, 1995 (Undang-Undang Pasar Modal). The main purposes of the research is to analyze JCI and LQ 45 index with Equity Mutual Fund and Balanced Mutual Fund in terms of risk and return, sharpe ratio, correlation and whether the JCI and LQ 45 are linked together over time with Vector Autoregression (VAR). Types of research methodology are using secondary research method and analysis method. In return, Equity Mutual Fund has a higher return than Balanced Mutual Fund because the portfolio diversification consists of money market and equity, but in Balanced Mutual Fund there is also bond as portfolio. In risk, Equity Mutual Fund is more risky than Balanced Mutual Fund as compensation with higher return. Sharpe ratio is used to measure the performance of mutual fund. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted performance. In VAR, both Equity Mutual Fund and Balanced Mutual Fund will affect by both JCI and LQ 45 Index

Perbedaan Kualitas Hidup antara Berbagai Metode Manajemen Nyeri pada Pasien Nyeri Kronis

The purpose of this research was to know the difference Quality Of Life (QOL) among chronic pain patient with various method of pain management that is pharmacology, pharmacology and physiotherapy, physiotherapy and multidisciplinary chronic pain management program (Potensi). We used several questionnaire, such as disability, pain intensity, PSEQ, PRSS, WHOQOL-BREF, PDM, DASS administered in 77 patients with chronic pain. The results of this study showed that there are significant differences in QOL between patients with chronic pain in the four methods of pain management. The results of the study revealed that the QOL in the pain group with Potensi method is better than the other three methods. In addition, there were significant differences in the QOL of chronic pain-related pain patients in general and the dimensions of pain relief. It can be concluded that the method of pain management is effective in dealing with patients with chronic pain that is by Potential method

A new Solar Desalination System Design and Heat Recovery

The work evaluates experimentally technique toimprove fresh water production by careful energy recovery inthe vapour condensation processes; the recovered heat in turnon drives additional evaporation and preheats the feedwater. Apilot plant is designed and constructed in an arid area with 2 m2solar evaporation collector area to evaluate the process. Thisunit is tested on cold and hot days. The effect of mainparameters on fresh water production of the unit is studied. Theexperimental results show that, the production rate andefficiency of the system are strongly affected by solar radiationand level water in solar evaporation collector. Within the studiedranges, the maximum productivity reached to 16.1 kg/ m2day atTvap,av = 87.6 oC , solar radiation 842 W/m2 and level water 1.912kg. According to these results, fresher water production of thepresent system is higher than that solar still desalination systemin the previous studies

Altitudinal accumulation and diversity of leaf beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) at Fraser’s Hill, Pahang

Most of the research on leaf beetles more focusing on their roles as a pest or biological control. On the ecological part is much understudied. So the objective of this study is to determine the accumulation and diversity of leaf beetles at different altitude on Fraser’s Hill, Pahang. Sampling was done in Dec 2016 – Feb 2017 at lower (900 m a.s.l) altitudes by using sweep net from 10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. A total of 296 individuals, 28 species and five subfamilies successfully collected. Galerucinae has the highest number of species and individuals with 14 and 154 respectively. Lower altitude has the highest individuals with 116 but has the lowest number of species with only 11. Meanwhile, sampling on Jan 2017 has the highest abundance of 108 individuals and 17 species. However, t-test indicates that there is no significant different between all Shannon index either by altitude-wise (H’ Higher = 1.80; Middle = 2.07; Lower = 1.95) or month-wise (H’ Dec ’16 = 2.36; Jan ’17 = 2.46; Feb ’17 = 2.32). Nevertheless, there is evidence showing that existence of species specificity towards altitude especially on the higher altitude which only one species that shared with middle altitude (Galerucinae sp. 1), while middle and lower shared more overlapped species. More intensive study must be done to view the distribution pattern more clear and detailed

Morphologies of Nanostuctured ZnO prepared by matrix-assisted method and its effects on photocatalytic activity

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by matrix-assisted method using activated carbon as a matrix and zinc nitrate and zinc acetate as ZnO precursors. Different weight percentages (10-40 wt %) of Zn precursor were loaded onto activated carbon and calcined in air at 500 and 600 ºC, producing highly crystallined ZnO particles with a wurtzite structure. Nanospherical ZnO and a mixture of nanosphere and nanorod ZnO were produced from zinc nitrate and zinc acetate, respectively. The efficiency study of the synthesized ZnO in the photodegradation of rhodamine 6G indicated that ZnO produced from zinc acetate is more effective than that from zinc nitrate, possibly due to the differences in the morphology of the synthesized ZnO
