Characterization Of Surface Active Shell Charcoal Nyamplung Seeds (Calophyllum Inophyllum Linn), Santiyo Wibowo, Wasrin Syafi, Gustan Pari

Makara Journal of Technology

Characterization of Surface Active Shell Charcoal Nyamplung Seeds (Calophyllum inophyllum Linn). Chemical and physical activation of nyamplung shell with 0%, 5%, and 10% H3PO4 for 60 and 120 minutes has been carried out to prepare activated charcoal. The purpose of this experiment was to look into the characteristic of nyamplung shell activated charcoal surface. Nyamplung shell was carbonized into charcoal, then activated by immersion in H3PO4 solution using 0%, 5% and 10%, for 24 hours, and heated in retort at two temperatures (700 and 800 oC) and two duration (60 and 120 minutes). The material were characterized by fourier transform …

Determining The Standard Value Of The Oily Distortion Of Acquisition The Fingerprint Images, Rahmat Syam, Mochamad Hariadi, Mauridhi Hery Purnomo Apr 2011

Determining The Standard Value Of The Oily Distortion Of Acquisition The Fingerprint Images, Rahmat Syam, Mochamad Hariadi, Mauridhi Hery Purnomo

Makara Journal of Technology

Determining the Standard Value of the Oily Distortion of Acquisition the Fingerprint Images. This research describes a novel procedure for determining the standard value of the oily distortion of acquisition the fingerprint images based on the score of clarity and ridge-valley thickness ratio. The fingerprint image is quantized into blocks size 32 x 32 pixels. Inside each block, an orientation line, which perpendicular to the ridge direction, is computed. The center of the block along the ridge direction, a two-dimension (2-D) vector V1 (slanted square) with the pixel size 32 x 13 pixels can be extracted and transformed to a …

Are Ieee 754 32-Bit And 64-Bit Binary Floating-Point Accurate Enough?, Bernaridho Hutabarat, I Ketut Eddy Purnama, Mochamad Hariadi, Mauridhi Hery Purnomo Apr 2011

Are Ieee 754 32-Bit And 64-Bit Binary Floating-Point Accurate Enough?, Bernaridho Hutabarat, I Ketut Eddy Purnama, Mochamad Hariadi, Mauridhi Hery Purnomo

Makara Journal of Technology

This paper describes a research toward the accuracy of floating-point values, and effort to reveal the real accuracy. The methods used in this research paper are assignment of values, assignment of value of arithmetic expressions, and output the values using floating-point value format that helps reveal the accuracy. The programming-tool used are Visual C# 9, Visual C++ 9, Java 5, and Visual BASIC 9. These tools run on top of Intel 80 x 86 hardware. The results show that 1*10-x cannot be accurately represented, and the approximate accuracy ranges only from 7 to 16 decimal digits.

Formation Of Caco3 Particle And Conductivity Of Na2co3 And Cacl2 Solution Under Magnetic Field On Dynamic Fluid System, Nelson Saksono, Setijo Bismo, Roekmijati Widaningroem, Azwar Manaf Apr 2011

Formation Of Caco3 Particle And Conductivity Of Na2co3 And Cacl2 Solution Under Magnetic Field On Dynamic Fluid System, Nelson Saksono, Setijo Bismo, Roekmijati Widaningroem, Azwar Manaf

Makara Journal of Technology

Hard water causes the CaCO3 scale formation on the pipe walls and heat exchanger equipments in industrial or domestic water processes. A great number of experimental researches on the prevention of the CaCO3 precipitation process by magnetic field have been carried out. In this research, Na2CO3 and CaCl2 solutions was magnetized in the circulated flow condition (dynamic fluid system). The velocity of fluid and the circulation time was modified to examine its influences to the magnetization process. CaCO3 content was measured by titration method of EDTA complexometry. Conductivity test was conducted to find out hydrate ion bonding. The results showed …

Two-Class Classification With Various Characteristics Based On Kernel Principal Component Analysis And Support Vector Machines, Ivanna Kristianti Timotius, Iwan Setyawan, Andreas Ardian Febrianto Apr 2011

Two-Class Classification With Various Characteristics Based On Kernel Principal Component Analysis And Support Vector Machines, Ivanna Kristianti Timotius, Iwan Setyawan, Andreas Ardian Febrianto

Makara Journal of Technology

Two class pattern classification problems appeared in many applications. In some applications, the characteristic of the members in a class is dissimilar. This paper proposed a classification system for this problem. The proposed system was developed based on the combination of kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and support vector machines (SVMs). This system has been implemented in a two class face recognition problem. The average of the classification rate in this face image classification is 82.5%.

Advanced Underwater Vehicle Navigation, M. Jordan Stanway Jan 2011

Advanced Underwater Vehicle Navigation, M. Jordan Stanway

Link Foundation Ocean Engineering and Instrumentation Fellowship Reports

Underwater vehicles–both manned and unmanned–are critical in our efforts to explore and study the depths of the ocean. Most underwater sensors possess a relatively small field of view; this means they must be carried over large distances to achieve high spatial coverage and resolution. The vast amount of data these sensors collect is much more valuable if the location of the vehicle is precisely known at the time the data is collected. This gives rise to the maxim: The data is only as good as the navigation. Navigation remains a challenging problem for underwater vehicles. Fundamental limitations of sensing technology …
