The investigation of characteristics of narrowband hairpin bandpass filter (BPF) which is influenced by the number of its elements is presented. The proposed hairpin BPF which is designed to work at around frequency center of 3GHz is deployed on Rogers R4350 dielectric substrates with the thickness of 1.52mm. The number of filter elements for characterization is 3, 5 and 7 elements. Whilst the filter characteristics which will be investigated include the physical dimension, working bandwidth, return loss and insertion loss. From the characterization results, it shows that the dimension of hairpin BPF increases up to 120% for the filter with 3 elements to 7 elements. While the working bandwidth for hairpin BPF with 5 elements is 35% wider than of 3 elements. The most significant effect influenced by the number of filter elements is the shape of frequency responses in which the result demonstrates that the higher number of filter element sharpens the selectivity of frequency response.

On solar energy microgrid,during the islanding condition and no solar radiation, at night, it only use the battery as a source of energy. This condition raises another problem of how to manage battery operation of each generation to maintain the continuity of the power distribution to each load so that each generation is still able to distribute power without load shedding due to insufficient of energy supply from the battery or if load shedding is done, it must be done at the most minimum. To solve the aforementioned problem, energy management strategy to manage power sharing between PV generation in PV-microgrid is developed, which will manage the usage of back-up battery operation on each distributed generation in order to maintain the continuity of power distribution or to minimize the amount of load shedding, by using the zero one integer programming. The result of the research shown that implementation of the load shedding optimization mechanism using zero-one integer programming on the aforementioned problem, can increase the PDI (Power Distribution Index) from 86,65% to 95,75% at 5 generation simulation, with power sharing method based on Equal Inverter Output Power Operation Mode. Meanwhile, power sharing method based on Equal Battery Level Operation Mode, the implementation of load shedding optimization increases PDI from 95,86% to 99,20%.

In the power generation, transmission or distribution of electricity, transformer is one of the most valuable and important asset. The transformer reliability is very dependent on the quality of the insulation system. During the operational phase transformer, transformer oil will undergo degradation or deterioration due to high temperatures and chemical reactions that occur as oxidation. Aging in insulating oils would also affect its characteristics, such as physical and electrical properties, as well as lowering the lifetime of the insulation. This paper discusses the aging of insulation oil. Research on accelerated thermal aging was conducted to determine the behavior of insulating oil deterioration Nynas Nytro 10X and predict future use. Based on the Arrhenius law, if the temperature of transformer oil samples were operating normally in 60°C, the lifetime prediction of insulating oil will be 697.079 hours. Furthermore, the percentage decrease in the lifetime prediction isolation transformer IBT CBN S phase at normal loading conditions, the imposition of emergency at long time, as well as the emergency at short time in a row at 0.002032%, 0.047435% and 0.957268% of the rest period normal to the insulation of 5.5 years.

Dual-band pass filters pass signals at two distinct frequency regions with a specified bandwidth. In this work a dual-band pass filter based on coupled open-loop rectangular resonators is designed. The microstrip filter is designed to pass signals at uplink and downlink frequencies of the 3G cellular networks, 1920 MHz and 2110 MHz respectively. The original design of the dual-band filter is the sixth order filter by shifting the feed positions so that the signals get two different paths due to the parallel circuit of the filter. The designed filter works at the first frequency at 1.91 GHz with a bandwidth of 90 MHz and reflection and insertion loss of 23.9 dB and 1.09 dB, respectively. The second frequency of the filter is located at 2.16 GHz with a bandwidth of 110 MHz and reflection and insertion loss of 17 dB and 1.24 dB, respectively. The measurement results verify the designed filter very well.

Hepatitis is a liver disease caused by hepatitis viruses. Nowadays, hepatitis is a global health problem, including in Indonesia. Chronic hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer, therefore early diagnosis is needed. Several research works on development of computer aided systems have been conducted to improve the diagnosis process of hepatitis disease. California Irvine (UCI) machine-learning repository provides hepatitis disease dataset which can be publicly accessed; however, the dataset contains many missing values. The existing of missing values in the dataset may affect the quality of the results analysis. Therefore, it needs to be conducted for handling the missing values. This paper analyses the performance of applying varied number of fold for cross validation of missing values imputation methods. The imputation method is combined with the feature selection method and machine-learning algorithm on the hepatitis dataset. The results that varied fold in k-fold cross validation which applied in the imputation method does not reveal significant advantages.

In a long-haul optical fiber transmission system which uses a high power input and a long distance transmission, disturbances can occur during the propagation process. These disturbances can be categorized into linear and non-linear effects which are affected by the intensity dependence of fiber optic refractive index n. These effects are divided into several orders and analyzed separately since each of the orders has different effects. In this paper, dispersion which is part of the linear effect and some of the non linear effects are analyzed. More specifically, the main focus of this paper will be on the phenomena of pulse broadening, oscillation and spectral evolution that occur within a signal pulse. A novel approach which is based on the modeling of high order method in NLSE were proposed in this paper in order to detect and analyze those effects. This new scheme is based on the high order sequence of NLSE which will be used to classify the effects of the parameters. Furthermore, various chirping methods for each input pulse were also discussed to compare the chirped and unchirped pulses. Consequently, it was found that the chirping method affected the dispersion result due to the dependencies of high order parameter with respect to the chirping constants. Further analysis of the MATLAB results is also presented in this paper based on each output.

Utilization of ultrasound imaging with various resolutions as modalities for thyroid nodules examination is growing rapidly. This is consistent with an increase in incidence of thyroid malignancy. Thyroid ultrasound examination is considered superior to other medical imaging modalities for its non-invasive, practical, inexpensive and painless. In the examination process, a radiologist expects areas of thyroid nodules that can be localized precisely from the surrounding normal tissue. Thus boundary of the nodules can be seen as to be regular or irregular. Boundary is one of the important features of malignancy that doctors use to make a diagnosis. Most malignant nodules have unclear and irregular boundaries. Imprecise segmentation result will lead to misdiagnosis based on boundary characteristics. Active contour segmentation technique is applied for detecting boundary of thyroid nodules and separating them with normal tissue iteratively. However, the characteristics of the ultrasound image that brings speckle noises make the segmentation process more complicated. It also resulted in interpretation errors and inaccuracies diagnosis made by a doctor. The intricacy of irregular nodule area can not easily be solved by changing the value of iteration on active contour. Therefore, speckle noise reduction method is needed to overcome this problem so that nodule area segmented properly. In this paper speckle noise reduction is done with bilateral filter. Comparison of image segmentation results of thyroid nodules with and without bilateral filter is attached at the end of this article. The combination of bilateral filter and active contour showed better results with the edge of the nodules firmly and clear.

Coal-fired plant pollution is due to the release into the atmosphere of the hot flue gasses produced from the combustion of coal. Dust from power plants has been linked to cancers, while SO2 and NOx have both been identified as acid rain precursors. NOx has also been associated with the production of photochemical smog. Various pollutant control systems have been developed over the past several decades and are continually evolving. However, even with these systems in place, coal-fired plants still produce significant levels of emissions, and certainly carry this stigma with them.

Dust from power plants has been linked to cancers, while SO2 and NOx have both been identified as acid rain precursors. NOx has also been associated with the production of photochemical smog. Various pollutant control systems have been developed over the past several decades and are continually evolving. However, even with these systems in place, coal-fired plants still produce significant levels of emissions, and certainly carry this stigma with them.","PeriodicalId":127270,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Quality in Research (QiR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128755019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
