Simulasi Sistem Penjadwalan Kereta: Studi Kasus Daop VIII Jawa Timur

Train rescheduling is often have to be made due to technical problems faced by the train that hold up the train to run on schedule or due to the addition of a new train. A simulation on train scheduling system can help out the train service company on rescheduling the train schedule. The simulation is made using Java language programming with queue rules that is usually used by the train service company. Based on the experiment on the system that was made on the overall class for the train rescheduling, 76 % of trains could have shorter trip time against the result of the simulation for GAPEKA (Grafik Perjalanan Kereta Api). The adjustment of train departure time is restricted to ± 30 minutes from the time regulated in GAPEK

Sistem Automasi Proses Produksi Minuman Dengan Sistem SCADA Menggunakan PLC

Industries need production processes that can be operated continually from one process to another without a lot of human energy resources. The solution of the problem is using an automation system which can be worked and operated from one central operator. SCADA with PLC can be used in many industrial processes because it can answer all the problems in controlling industrial application automatically. This paper describe how to make a design of simulation plant for beverages production process. The plant will use : pumps, mixer, valves, and heater. This plant will be operated by PLC Omron C-200 HS which is connected to SCADA Intouch, Wonderware Production. The comunication between PLC Omron and SCADA Intouch use Host Link RS 232c with I/O Servers program. The result from the simulation plant design for the minimum power shaft pump is 6.788 Watt. The mixer need a motor with speed 114 rpm. And the heater need 1000 Watt at 01:44:21.64. While the minimum valve design is needed to hold the fluids pressure until 106,4096 KPa

Embedding cultural competence in faculty : a mixed-methods evaluation of an applied Indigenous proficiency workshop

One of the most pressing issues in Australian society is the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous health and life expectancies (Marmot, 2017). Australia agreed with the World Health Organisation’s 2008 Closing the Gap in a Generation report (WHO, 2008), spending approximately 5.6% of government expenditure towards ameliorating this gap (Gardiner-Garden & Simon-Davies, 2012), yet there have been only minimal positive outcomes (Alford, 2015; Gannon, 2018). In applied terms, this means Indigenous people are still dying younger (Anderson et al., 2016), scoring higher on psychological distress (Markwick, Ansari, Sullivan, & McNeil, 2015) and suffering poorer indices on all chronic diseases (e.g. Walsh & Kangaharan, 2016; Thompson, Talley, & Kong, 2017). The level of complexity involved in addressing these “wicked” or seemingly “impossible to solve” health problems is made worse by the lack of any pan-national strategic planning and/or intervention evaluation (Lokuge et al., 2017), even though there has been a plethora of programs and projects designed to improve Indigenous health (see for example, AGPC, 2016). Leaders in health and educational institutions must consider why there is a lack of progress in closing the gap in Indigenous health and life expectancies. Addressing the inequities in Indigenous health requires a determinant of health approach (Mitrou et al., 2014), as 39% of the gap in health outcomes can be explained by social determinates (AIHW, 2017; Markwick, Ansari, Sullivan, Parsons, & McNeil, 2014). The social determinant considered to most reliably predict Indigenous poor health is racism (Kelaher, Ferdinand, & Paradies, 2014; Paradies, 2006; Paradies & Cunningham, 2009; Paradies et al., 2015; Paradies, Truong, & Priest, 2014)

Radiofrequency-based treatment in therapy-related clinical practice – a narrative review. Part I : acute conditions

This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Physical Therapy Reviews on 24 June 2015, available online at: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1179/1743288X15Y.0000000016Background: Radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RFEMF or simply RF)-based electrophysical agents (EPAs) have been employed in therapy-related clinical practice for several decades. They are used to reduce pain and inflammation and enhance tissue healing. Although these agents have generally become less popular in contemporary therapy practice, surveys have shown that some of these modalities are still reasonably widely used. Objective: To review the evidence for the use of non-invasive low frequency RFs (30 kHz–30 MHz) in therapy-related clinical practice. Major findings: All peer reviewed therapy-related clinical studies published in English and concerning low frequency RF were sought. Identified literature was divided into acute and chronic segments based on their clinical area and analysed to assess the volume and scope of current evidence. The studies on acute conditions were reviewed in detail for this paper. One hundred twenty clinical studies were identified, of which 30 related to acute conditions. The majority of studies employed Pulsed Shortwave Therapy (PSWT). Twenty-two studies out of 30 were related to conditions of pain and inflammation, seven to tissue healing and one to acute pneumothorax. No studies were identified on frequencies other than shortwave. Conclusions: Evidence for and against RF-based therapy is available. There is reasonable evidence in support of PSWT to alleviate postoperative pain and promote postoperative wound healing. Evidence for other acute conditions is sparse and conflicting. A general lack of research emphasis in the non-shortwave RF band is evident, with studies on acute conditions almost non-existent. Further and wider research in this area is warranted.Peer reviewe

Equilibrium moisture content of flax/linseed and fibre hemp straw fractions

This preliminary study of the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of bast fibre plants (Linum usitatissimum L. and Cannabis sativa L.) examines three fractions, fibre, fine shive and coarse shive. The plants were harvested at two times, the first in autumn and the second in spring. The autumn harvest yielded unretted, green material, while the frost-retted material harvested in spring may be classified as overretted. Interesting differences in EMC were found in the dampest air between the two harvest times irrespective of plant species: green fractions were faster to mould at the beginning and lost more weight in the 2-week test period than did the frost-retted samples. The green samples also attained higher EMCs before beginning to mould.Tutkimuksessa kartoitettiin jakeistetun kuitupellavan, öljypellavan ja kuituhampun tasapainokosteuskäyttäytymistä kolmessa eri ilmankosteudessa. Korret jakeistettiin mekaanisesti kuiduksi sekä hienojakoiseksi ja karkeaksi päistäreeksi. Korjuu tapahtui syksyllä ja keväällä: syksyllä saatiin liottamattomia varsia, keväällä korjatut voitiin luokitella ylilionneiksi. Mielenkiintoisimmat erot korjuuaikojen välillä havaittiin korkeimmassa ilmankosteudessa kasvilajista riippumatta: syksyllä korjatut vihreät jakeet alkoivat homehtua nopeammin ja menettivät enemmän massastaan kahden viikon tutkimusjakson aikana kuin keväällä korjatut jakeet. Vihreät jakeet saavuttivat kevätkorjattuja korkeamman kosteuspitoisuuden ennen kuin niiden massa alkoi homehtumisen vuoksi laskea
