Feasibility study on utilization of palm fibre waste into fired clay brick

Malaysia is the second largest of palm oil producer after Indonesia, which contribute to 50 % of palm oil production. With this demand, the increasing of palm oil plantation over the years has led to the large production of agricultural waste, for example palm fibre waste. This study investigates different percentages of palm fibre (0 %, 1 %, 5 % and 10 %) to be incorporated into fired clay brick. Manufactured bricks were fired at 1 °C/min heating rate up to 1050 °C. The effects of manufacture bricks on the physical and mechanical properties of manufactured brick were also determined. All brick samples were tested due to the physical and mechanical properties which include dry density, firing shrinkage, initial rate of suction (IRS), water absorption, porosity and compressive strength. Findings show that increasing palm fibre waste affected the properties of brick, which decreased their density, besides increased firing shrinkage, IRS, water absorption, porosity and compressive strength. However, all the manufactured brick still followed the requirement

Characterization of LUSI Mud as Geopolymer Raw Material

The mud of mud volcano samples were collected from an eruption site named ‘LUSI’ (Lumpur “mud” –Sidoarjo), East Java, Indonesia for characterization. Analysis showed that, the major constituents of mud are SiO2 and Al2O3 which are higher than those in fly ash. The particle of mud has a flake-shaped particle and the overall particle size is dominated by particles between 2.5μm – 25.0μm. The results of XRD shows that mud of mud volcano have a characteristic of structurally disordered compounds, and a set of peaks corresponding to minor crystalline phases such as quartz, feldspars, and kaolinite. FTIR adsorption bands of the raw material of mud have the chemical bonding between bands 1-5

The Effectiveness of Using Poetry in Developing English Vocabulary, Pronunciation and Motivation of EFL Palestinian Students

This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of using poetry in developing English vocabulary, pronunciation and motivation of EFL Palestinian students. The researcher adopted the quantitative method to collect the required data. The researcher used a questionnaire for both students and teachers to examine their attitudes towards using poetry in the language classroom. The participants of the study were both teachers and students from Hebron. The sample of study consisted of 73 female Tenth grade students and 214 English language teachers. One school has been chosen to form the experimental group. The analysis of the post-test revealed that the experimental group has significantly outperformed the control group in both vocabulary and pronunciation competences when they read poetry. Likewise, the results of the questionnaires showed that both teachers and students have positive attitudes towards using poetry in the language classroom as a means for teaching English language. In short, poetry has positive effect on developing the English vocabulary, pronunciation and increasing students’ motivation

Spatial and topology feature extraction on batik pattern recognition: a review

Abstract. Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage that has been recognized by UNESCO as an international cultural heritage on October 2, 2009. Patterns of batik produce geometric shapes unique, the number and name of the batik patterns make it difficult to recognize each motif. The objective classification of batik is split image into classes according to the pattern motif motive so easy to recognize in accordance with its feature. Batik can be classified based on the shape of the motive, namely geometric motifs, geometric motifs and motifs non specific. Spatial information is an important aspect of image processing such as computer vision and recognition structure / pattern in the context of modelling and resolution of the uncertainty caused by the ambiguity in the low-level features. Shortcomings inherent in combining two colours and spatial features are not adaptive pattern recognition process of the region across multiple images and histogram matching is not appropriate to capture the colours on the image content. This study discussed a model of spatial features and feature combinations topology with the aim to improve the validation batik image pattern recognition so that the level of the pattern recognition motif batik image could be better. Some of the features that have been used include colour features and spatial features. In addition, this paper discusses the possibility of combining the features in pattern recognition. This paper proposes a combination of features that will be able to improve the validation of image pattern recognition of batik
