    The output of a green energy generator is required to be monitor continuously. The monitoring process is important because the performance of the energy gen- erator needs to be known and evaluate. However, monitoring the generator manu- ally and efficiently is troublesome. Moreover, when most of the energy generator located at uneasy to reach or at a very remote place. Added to the cost, human intervention for the monitoring process contributes to the unnecessary bill. All the highlighted limitations can be overcome using an internet cloud base system and application. Most of the existing data logging instruments use a memory card or personal computer in their operation. The stored data is accessible only at a dedicated computer alone. This work presented a complete energy generator interface with a commercial online digital dashboard. The digital dashboard, parameters of the wind turbine, such as the amount of power generates and the magnitude of instantaneous voltage can be monitored, and the recorded data can be accessed quickly, at any time and anyplace

    This study examines whether earnings management action was done in Malaysia for period of 1999. The study was based on abnormal accrual, continued by is spliting off to discretionary accrual and non-discretionary accrual by Jones\u27 model (1991). There were 295 companies registered in Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange which had completed financial statement for the year of 1999-2000. Statistical analysis in this study shows that there is no strove evidence that the earnive management by income maximization that was motivated by the release of income tax exemption was applied in 1999 by income amximization that was motivated motivated by the release of tax income exemption was applied in 1999. The analysis is also done for the year of 2000, as the action of earning management in 1999 will have impact for the financial reporting in the following year. Thus, in can be identified that the finding in the year of 2000 will support the finding of the previous year

    In nature, renewable energy is inherently free and must be implemented. The use of air conditioning and refrigerants that affect global warming is a serious issue. In building applications, renewable energy from the geothermal source, namely ground heat exchanger (GHE), has great potential. The main concept of GHE is utilizing the ground as an infinite thermal reservoir for cooling and heating to the fluid medium. In the GHE system, the air is used as a fluid medium of work. Because of the temperature difference between the air and underground temperature, the air cools in summer and gets heated in winter. In this present work, a study has been conducted to investigate the effect of pipe materials and thermal conductivity of soil on the performance of the GHE. The study acknowledges that the pipe materials do not give a significant effect on the performance of the GHE. Therefore, the lower thermal conductivity of pipe materials with low cost can be used in GHE implementation. The study also revealed that the range of thermal conductivity of soil which gives good ground heat exchanger performance is between 1.5 to 5 W/m·K. Besides, the length of the pipe was reduced from 25 to 10 meters

    Parameter estimation is a vital part in constructing the best model of a dynamic system. This paper analyzed the performance of toothbrush rig parameter estimation using different model orders. Parameter estimation process of the system is performed through system identification. The approximate mathematical model that resemble the real system is obtained when the output is measured after loading the input signal. The application of real-coded genetic algorithm (RCGA) is proposed as optimization method in estimating the parameters of dynamic system. The best model is obtained by optimizing the objective function of mean squared errors. The performance is analyzed to get the approximate model of the real system using three different model orders with 10 times analysis for each model. A few criteria have been considered which are the optimization result of objective function, time execution and validation process. Real- coded genetic algorithm indicates that parameter estimation with model order 3 is chosen as the best model or the dynamic system as it has the highest performance compared to others

    The use of vapor compression air conditioning has contributed to the global warming effect by increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable energy from geothermal sources, specifically ground heat exchangers (GHE), has great potential in building applications. The underlying concept of pipe called GHE utilises the ground as an unlimited thermal reservoir for cooling and heating purposes. Because of the temperature differences between underground and surrounding air, the air in the underground cools in the summer and warms in the winter. Thermal conductivity of the ground or soil is among a parameter that contribute to the GHE’s performance. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of hybrid soils without moisture on the performance of the GHE system. The hybrid soils consist of two elements, which are native soil with three grain sizes and bentonite. The native soil grain sizes are 0.154–0355 mm, 0.355–0.6 mm, and 0.6–1 mm. Bentonite has been introduced into all native soil grain sizes, which ranges from 0 to 100%. The native soil and bentonite were mixed consistently, and the thermal conductivity was measured by using a thermal property analyzer device. The study shows that the grain size 0.6–1 mm of native soil has the highest thermal conductivity at 20% bentonite, which is 0.269 W/m K compared to other grain sizes. The performance of the GHE system was evaluated based on simulation of mathematical model which shows that pipe length of 16 m gives significant effect of temperature reduction. In short, the performance of GHE has increased once the thermal conductivity of hybrid soil increased

    AbstractThe present study aimed to investigate the protective role of berberine (BER) against Plasmodium chabaudi-induced infection in mice. Animals were divided into three groups. Group I served as a vehicle control. Group II and group III were infected with 1000 P. chabaudi infected erythrocytes. Group III was gavaged with 100ÎŒl of 10mg/kg berberine chloride for 10days. All mice were sacrificed at day 10 post-infection. The percentage of parasitemia was significantly reduced more than 30%, after treatment of mice with BER. Infection caused marked hepatic injuries as indicated by histopathological alterations as evidenced by the presence of hepatic lobular inflammatory cellular infiltrations, dilated sinusoids, vacuolated hepatocytes, increased number of Kupffer cells and the malaria pigment, hemozoin. These changes in livers led to the increased histological score. Also, infection induced a significant increase in liver alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase and a significant increase in the total leucocytic count. Moreover, mice became anemic as proved by the significant decrease in erythrocyte number and haemoglobin content. BER showed a significant protective potential by improving the above mentioned parameters. Based on these results, it is concluded that berberine could offer protection against hepatic tissue damage

    In this study, the potential of dual-phase composite adsorbent to determine the removal efficiency of organic compounds such as COD, BOD, TP, and TN was investigated. The combination ratio of cockleshell and natural zeolite was optimized using D-optimal mixture design (DMD). The generated ratio was tested using run test in Easy Care PipeSystem (ECPS). Breakthrough curve was plotted to determine the total removal by composite adsorbent. In addition, linearization of the breakthrough curve by dynamic models was implemented to characterize the adsorption process by the composite adsorbent in ECPS column model. The linearization of breakthrough curve was done using mathematical models, Adam-Bohart, Yoon-Nelson and Thomas model. It was found that the optimal mixture ratio was at 75% cockleshells and 25% natural zeolite. Based on the experiments, the composite adsorbent showed high tendency to higher removal by 90% of targeted value. Based on the results, the composite adsorbent was fitted better with Yoon-Nelson and Thomas model rather than Adam-Bohart model. The generated models were able to characterize the adsorption process using composite adsorbent in the ECPS column system

    Variational Monte Carlo calculations for Λ4H{_{\Lambda}^4}H (ground and excited states) and Λ5He{_{\Lambda}^5}He are performed to decipher information on Λ{\Lambda}-nuclear interactions. Appropriate operatorial nuclear and Λ{\Lambda}-nuclear correlations have been incorporated to minimize the expectation values of the energies. We use the Argonne υ18\upsilon_{18} two-body NN along with the Urbana IX three-body NNN interactions. The study demonstrates that a large part of the splitting energy in Λ4H{_{\Lambda}^4}H (0+−1+0^+-1^+) is due to the three-body Λ{\Lambda} NN forces. Λ17O_{\Lambda}^{17}O hypernucleus is analyzed using the {\it s}-shell results. Λ\Lambda binding to nuclear matter is calculated within the variational framework using the Fermi-Hypernetted-Chain technique. There is a need to correctly incorporate the three-body Λ{\Lambda} NN correlations for Λ\Lambda binding to nuclear matter.Comment: 18 pages (TeX), 2 figure
