Classification model and analysis on students’ performance
The purpose of this paper is to propose a classification model for classifying students’performance in SijilPelajaran Malaysia in order to help teachers plan suitable teachingactivities for their students based on the students’ performance. Five classifier algorithms have been used during the process which are Naïve Bayes, Random Tree, Multi Class Classifier, Conjunctive Rule and Nearest Neighbour. Data was collected from MaktabRendahSains MARA Kuala Berang, Terengganu, Malaysia starting May 2011 until December 2014. The students’ performance was evaluated based on the category of students according to their SPM Results. Parameters that contribute to students’ performance such as stream, state, gender and hometown are also investigated along with the examination data.This research shows that first semester results can be used to identify students’ performance.Keywords: educational data mining; classification model; feature selection
Rekonstruksi Lahan Idle yang Terintrusi Air Laut Menjadi Areal Sawah-Tambak
Many farmers' farmlands are found to be unproductive according to their owner's wishes. The condition is sometimes left even abandoned by the owner because it does not produce economic value for the welfare of the fishermen farming community. Touch of technology is expected to change the condition of the land from idle to helpless. Therefore, a study and constructive approach was carried out in the form of reconstruction of idle land that was intrused by seawater belonging to farmer groups in the form of reconstruction of idle land into paddy fields and ponds so that it was suitable for cultivation. This activity was carried out in Oring Lawallu Village, Soppeng Riaja Barru District of South Sulawesi. The study began with a site survey, socialization and land reconstruction from an idle paddy field to paddy fields for rice and caren for shrimp farming. The area of land used is seawater intrusion land of about 1 ha, which is owned by 5 members of the Massiddie farmer group, then reconstructed using an excavator owned by the Dinas Perikanan District of Barru. The results of the land reconstruction activities consisted of 0.363 ha of land area and caren land of around 0.242 ha equipped with 0.092 ha of reservoir and the rest of the canal and dike separating between paddy fields / ponds. The lands that have been reconstructed are suitable to be used as land for cultivation of rice and tiger shrimp and other aquaculture commoditie
The K2K SciBar Detector
A new near detector, SciBar, for the K2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation
expe riment was installed to improve the measurement of neutrino energy
spectrum and to study neutrino interactions in the energy region around 1 GeV.
SciBar is a 'fully active' tracking detector with fine segmentation consisting
of plastic scintillator bars. The detector was constructed in summer 2003 and
is taking data since October 2003. The basic design and initial performance is
presented.Comment: 7 pages, 4figures, Contributed to Proceedings of the 10th Vienna

Experimental study of the atmospheric neutrino backgrounds for proton decay to positron and neutral pion searches in water Cherenkov detectors
The atmospheric neutrino background for proton decay to positron and neutral
pion in ring imaging water Cherenkov detectors is studied with an artificial
accelerator neutrino beam for the first time. In total, about 314,000 neutrino
events corresponding to about 10 megaton-years of atmospheric neutrino
interactions were collected by a 1,000 ton water Cherenkov detector (KT). The
KT charged-current single neutral pion production data are well reproduced by
simulation programs of neutrino and secondary hadronic interactions used in the
Super-Kamiokande (SK) proton decay search. The obtained proton to positron and
neutral pion background rate by the KT data for SK from the atmospheric
neutrinos whose energies are below 3 GeV is about two per megaton-year. This
result is also relevant to possible future, megaton-scale water Cherenkov
detectors.Comment: 13 pages, 16 figure
Search for coherent charged pion production in neutrino-carbon interactions
We report the result from a search for charged-current coherent pion
production induced by muon neutrinos with a mean energy of 1.3 GeV. The data
are collected with a fully active scintillator detector in the K2K
long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. No evidence for coherent pion
production is observed and an upper limit of is set on
the cross section ratio of coherent pion production to the total
charged-current interaction at 90% confidence level. This is the first
experimental limit for coherent charged pion production in the energy region of
a few GeV.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Measurement of single charged pion production in the charged-current interactions of neutrinos in a 1.3 GeV wide band beam
Single charged pion production in charged-current muon neutrino interactions
with carbon is studied using data collected in the K2K long-baseline neutrino
experiment. The mean energy of the incident muon neutrinos is 1.3 GeV. The data
used in this analysis are mainly from a fully active scintillator detector,
SciBar. The cross section for single production in the resonance
region ( GeV/) relative to the charged-current quasi-elastic cross
section is found to be 0.734 . The energy-dependent cross
section ratio is also measured. The results are consistent with a previous
experiment and the prediction of our model.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, 7 tables. Uses revtex4. Minor revisions to

Evidence for muon neutrino oscillation in an accelerator-based experiment
We present results for muon neutrino oscillation in the KEK to Kamioka (K2K)
long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. K2K uses an accelerator-produced
muon neutrino beam with a mean energy of 1.3 GeV directed at the
Super-Kamiokande detector. We observed the energy dependent disappearance of
muon neutrino, which we presume have oscillated to tau neutrino. The
probability that we would observe these results if there is no neutrino
oscillation is 0.0050% (4.0 sigma).Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Measurement of neutrino oscillation by the K2K experiment
We present measurements of nu(mu) disappearance in K2K, the KEK to Kamioka long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. One-hundred and twelve beam-originated neutrino events are observed in the fiducial volume of Super-Kamiokande with an expectation of 158.1(-8.6)(+9.2) events without oscillation. A distortion of the energy spectrum is also seen in 58 single-ring muonlike events with reconstructed energies. The probability that the observations are explained by the expectation for no neutrino oscillation is 0.0015% (4.3 sigma). In a two-flavor oscillation scenario, the allowed Delta m(2) region at sin(2)2 theta=1 is between 1.9 and 3.5x10(-3) eV(2) at the 90% C.L. with a best-fit value of 2.8x10(-3) eV(2)
