Physicochemical Analysis of Cookies Enriched With Sugar Cane Bagasse Fibre
type: item
description: Sugar cane bagasse, a discarded plant fibre remaining subsequent to the extraction of sugar cane juice, holds significant value as an abundant source of insoluble dietary fibres. These fibres offer a wide range of applications in various industries, including both the food and non-food sectors. Despite its potential, the comprehensive analysis of the physicochemical properties of sugar cane bagasse fibre for its role in cookie production is currently lacking or disregarded in evaluation processes. This study focused on utilizing sugar cane bagasse, a by-product of sugar extraction, for enhancing cookies. The bagasse was processed into powder after steam treatment, and cookies were made with different levels of bagasse powder (2%, 4%, and 6%). The study assessed the cookies' moisture content, crude fibre, and textural properties. The findings revealed that the cookies with bagasse (F1 6%) had higher moisture content (3.67±0.1274%), and the crude fibre content (2.02±0.871%) increased with the bagasse level. While there were no significant differences in hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness between the samples, cookies with bagasse had lower hardness (14047.33±21048.66) and springiness (0.366±0.152) but higher cohesiveness (0.0733±0.01155) than control cookies. The study highlights the potential of using sugar cane bagasse fibre in cookies, contributing to waste reduction in the food industry.

Physicochemical Properties And Formulation Screening Of Rabbit Soy Patty Using Plackett-Burman Design Method
type: item
description: Rabbit meat is a highly nutritious and lean protein source, containing essential amino acids crucial for tissue development. Soy dreg, a high-protein agricultural by-product, can potentially enhance the nutritional profile of rabbit meat products. Despite these benefits, rabbit meat remains an unpopular choice among Malaysian consumers. This study aimed to screen the formulation of rabbit soy patty using the Plackett-Burman design (PBD), analyse protein content and texture, and determine the best formulation through response optimization techniques. Minitab software version 20.2 was used to create 12 formulations based on PBD, and the resulting patties were evaluated for physicochemical properties. Texture analysis revealed that shortening significantly affected hardness with p-value 0.046 leading to a softer texture. Protein content analysis showed that ice, isolated soy protein (ISP), soy dreg, and rabbit meat had the most significant effect with p-values of 0.004, 0.005, 0.016, and 0.023, respectively. PBD successfully identified four key parameters (ice, ISP, soy dreg, and rabbit meat) that significantly influence protein content and texture. This study demonstrates the feasibility and potential advantages of incorporating soy dreg into rabbit meat patties to increase protein content and improve texture. Future research should focus on optimizing soy dreg inclusion levels, exploring ingredient interactions, and investigating new processing methods to further enhance the nutritional profile and sensory attributes of rabbit soy patties. Effective dissemination and collaboration with industry partners are crucial to promote the adoption of this sustainable approach to food production and address global food security challenges.

Performance And Durability Enhanced Composite Nanomaterial Membrane For Fuel Cell Applications
type: item
description: The proton exchange membrane (PEM) based on polybenzimidazole (PBI) is developing into a promising alternative to Nafion for high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFC). While Nafion membranes are effective at atmospheric pressure and low temperatures, their performance deteriorates significantly at temperatures above 80 °C, making them unsuitable for the operation of HT-PEMFCs. PBI membranes, on the other hand, have excellent thermal stability and durability, making them well-suited for high-temperature conditions. However, their relatively low proton conductivity (between 10-15 mS/cm) poses a challenge for efficient HT-PEMFC performance. This study aims to synthesise and investigate the effects of incorporating the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl]) on the physicochemical properties, ionic characteristics, and overall performance of polybenzimidazole/graphene oxide (PBI-GO) composite membranes in HT PEMFCs. The PBI composite membranes were prepared with a fixed weight percentage of 2 wt% graphene oxide (GO) and different concentrations of [BMIM][Cl] (from 1 to 3 wt%) by the solution casting method. The results showed that the composite membrane with 2 wt% [BMIM][Cl] (PBI-GO-[BMIM][Cl] (2 wt%)) exhibited optimal ion morphology distribution and lower acid leaching (about 54% loss after 5 hours). In addition, the PBI-GO-[BMIM][Cl] (2 wt%) membrane showed a significantly improved maximum power density of 128.45 mW cm-² at 160 °C compared to the PBI-GO-[BMIM][Cl] (2 wt%) composite membrane, which showed a maximum power density of only 106.70 mW cm-² at 25 °C. The improved performance of the PBI-GO-[BMIM][Cl] (2 wt%) membrane indicates its potential as a cost-effective and highly efficient material for HT-PEMFC applications. The use of this membrane in fuel cell technology could lead to significant cost savings in maintenance and energy consumption, while contributing to a reduction in carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide em…

The Experimental Speed Control of DC Shunt Motor Using Field Control Method via MATLAB Simulink
type: item
description: DC Shunt motor speed control using a field control method is a method that researchers have studied. The study of the characteristics of the motor, primarily in controlling the motor speed, is performed by this research with a constant input voltage. The research was done to indicate that both techniques, which are laboratory experiments and the MATLAB/Simulink model, can be executed. The outcome is to produce the desired speed of the DC Shunt Motor model via MATLAB/Simulink, as well as the result from the laboratory experiment. The external resistor is used in this experiment as a rheostat, where the resistance is varied. Variation of external resistance appears to reflect on the control of the speed of the DC motor. Simulation and laboratory experiment results indicate that the speed using the simulation model via MATLAB/Simulink is quite similar to the speed using the laboratory experiment result, and based on that, it shows the DC Shunt motor speed can be controlled using a field control method.

Developing Carbon Monoxide Gas Detectors In Vehicle Cabins
type: item
description: A vehicle will produce carbon monoxide (CO) gas when an incomplete combustion occurs. CO is odourless and colourless. The MQ-9 sensor is installed on the vehicle to detect the presence of CO in the vehicle cabin. The detection of CO in the vehicle cabin involves the MQ-9 Sensor, Arduino Mega 2560, and Raspberry Pi. When the MQ-9 Sensor detects CO in the vehicle's cabin, it will send a voltage to the Arduino Mega 2560, and the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) will display the existence of CO. It will also display the activity of the MQ-9 Sensor. This system will generate an alarm signal and activate the Power Window Motor to pull the vehicle window open 2 inches to increase the Oxygen content in the vehicle. The alarm will sound again when the MQ-9 sensor no longer detects the presence of CO in the vehicle cabin, and the Power Window Motor will raise the window again. At the same time, Raspberry Pi will send information about the presence of CO to the vehicle owner's mobile phone. Indirectly, this approach will help prevent deaths from CO poisoning in vehicles.

Batch Adsorption Of Manganese (II) Ions Using Fruit Peels: Equilibrium And Kinetic Studies
type: item
description: Manganese (Mn) is recognized as a potent neurotoxin, known to elicit severe health implications such as hallucinations, learning impairments, and Mn-induced parkinsonism in both adults and children. In 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) established a provisional guideline of 0.08 mg/L Mn compared to 0.4 mg/L in 2004 due to mounting evidence underscoring Mn neurotoxicity. Over the years, numerous conventional methods have been explored to address this pressing concern. This study, however, explores an innovative approach focusing on the adsorption process employing waste fruit peels (LOLAC), which are from orange, lemon, and langsat, to remove Mn (II) ions. The primary objective is to ascertain the optimal conditions for manganese adsorption utilizing LOLAC. Parameters influencing Mn (II) ions biosorption, including pH, biosorbent dosage, initial adsorbate concentration, and contact time, were investigated. Batch mode was adopted for its inherent controllability, while UV-Vis spectrophotometry facilitated initial and final Mn (II) ion concentration measurements. Subsequently, the percentage of Mn (II) ions removed was computed to elucidate adsorption equilibrium and kinetics. Experimental outcomes unveiled orange peels as the most efficacious, achieving a remarkable 96.3% removal of manganese under conditions of pH 6, 0.8 g/100ml biosorbent dosage, 100 ppm initial adsorbate concentration, and a contact time of 90 minutes. The Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second order kinetics exhibited commendable fitting with the data of Mn adsorption onto LOLAC, indicating a monolayer adsorption mechanism with a second-order reaction rate on the adsorbent. Consequently, activated carbon from orange peel emerges as a promising, cost-effective biosorbent for the remediation of manganese ions from wastewater, outperforming its langsat and lemon peel counterparts.

Utilizing Chitosan Extracted From Shrimp Byproducts As A Bio-Coagulant For Treating Oily Waste Emulsions
type: item
description: Across sectors, the coagulation process is widely used to remove colloidal contaminants, particularly suspended particles like bacteria and organic debris. But because of their natural source and biodegradable nature, using bio-coagulants offers a more feasible option. With a monthly production range of 20 to 60 tones, this project focuses on the extraction of chitin and chitosan from shrimp waste with the goal of using chitosan as a bio-coagulant for the treatment of oily waste emulsions. The use of chemical coagulants, such as ferric chloride and aluminum sulfate, raises questions about their potential negative effects on the environment and human health. These coagulants are particularly difficult for smaller-scale enterprises to obtain. Therefore, the main goals of this project are to extract chitosan from shrimp waste and assess how well it works to remediate oily waste emulsions. Deproteinization, demineralization, and deacetylation processes are all included in the extraction process. Testing that comes after this evaluates oily wastewater by employing powdered and coarse chitosan, and coagulation processes are tested in jars. The findings demonstrate that powdered chitosan performs better than coarse forms, with an effectiveness of coagulation activity is 91.79%, fulfilling the project's goals. To improve chitosan's ability to cure oily waste emulsions, it is advised to adjust the dosage to 0.1g/ml – 0.15g/ml. This study highlights the possibility of using chitosan made from shrimp waste as an efficient and sustainable coagulation process substitute, posing a threat to traditional chemical coagulants. This strategy complies with green chemistry and sustainable industrial practices by optimizing environmental effects and utilizing natural resources.

The Analysis Correlation of Tool Wear with Signal Frequency Domain During ST 60 Milling Process Using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient Method
type: item
description: High Speed Steel Cutter (HSS) is widely used in milling processes to cut workpieces, one of them is ST 60. However, cutter weariness is a major problem that can affect the quality of milling and production costs. This is because a prolonged cutting process can cause gradual damage to the cutter's eye due to repeated friction between the cutters and the treated material. Therefore, the study aims to analyze the weariness of the HSS cutter during the ST 60 milling process by using a domain frequency vibration signal approach and periodic weight measurement of the cutter to monitor its weariness. The method to be performed in this study is to perform a milling operation on the ST 60 material using a HSS cutter as well as recording the vibration signal and measuring the cutter's weight at each experimental interval. The result of the vibration signal recording will be processed using Fourier transformation (FFT) to monitor vibration frequency changes that reflect cutter damage. It is hoped that this research will provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of HSS cutter depletion, thereby improving the quality of the result and optimizing the cutting conditions to slow the rate of the device.

A Brief Discovery on the Evaluation of Rock Wool and Zeolite in a Hydroponic Drip System for The Cultivation of Lettuce (Lactuca Sativa)
type: item
description: There is a growing interest in the utilization of soilless media, such as zeolite and rockwool, for cultivating vegetables in drip hydroponic systems. The motivation behind the selection of zeolite was due to its high cation exchange capacity (CEC) and ability to retain moisture. A study was conducted to determine the impact of zeolite and rockwool on the growth and leaching analysis of lettuce in a drip hydroponic system. The lettuce obtained fertilization through a nutrient solution that contains both macro and micronutrients. The solution's electrical conductivity (EC) ranged from 1.2 to 1.9 dS/m, with a pH of 5.75 and a temperature of 30-32 ºC. Based on the study on lettuce growth, an additional amount of zeolite in the rockwool system resulted in an increase of 11.48% in stem diameter, 5.13% in root weight, 25.5% in dry root weight, 20% in shoot weight, and 20.23% in dry shoot weight, as compared to rockwool only. However, there were no changes in lettuce height and leaf diameter identified. Based on the analysis of the hydroponic wastewater solution, the concentration of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia ions decreased by 41.17%, 50%, and 75%, respectively, in the presence of zeolite in rockwool system compared to rockwool only. The presence of zeolite has a significant impact on reducing the concentration of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia ions, however, it has a minimal effect on the growth of lettuce’s height and leaf diameter.

Rural Restructuring Effects in Mountainous Sichuan: Case Study of Three Villages.
type: item
description: Rural restructuring is a dynamic and complicated process of geographical rearrangement, functional coordination, and self-renewal in rural regions that is influenced by various circumstances. This study intends to investigate the features and driving forces of rural restructuring in several types of mountain villages in western Sichuan province, China, an area with unique natural conditions, cultural landscapes, industries, and social structures. Based on field surveys and data analysis, we chose three typical villages as case studies: Tao Yuan, a suburban mountain village with non-agricultural growth; Bai Xiang, an ethnic village with innovative business models; and Jiang Ba, a distant ethnic village with traditional agriculture. We used the landscape index technique to study the geographical features, the entropy TOPSIS approach to assess the rural quality level, and from 2016 to 2021, the rural restructuring intensity measurement will be used to assess the restructuring intensity of each village. The findings revealed that: (1) Tao Yuan's economic, social, and spatial restructuring was accelerated by urban radiation energy and reached a stable stage of development; (2) Bai Xiang's social restructuring was guided by macro policies, but its economic and spatial restructuring was relatively slow and remained in a developing stage;(3) Jiang Ba's material space restructuring was supported by local government, but its economic and social restructuring was insignificant and remained in a developing stage. The study found that rural restructuring in mountainous areas had specific regional and staged features that were impacted by various elements such as natural environment, cultural landscape, industrial structure, social organization, policy system, and so on. The study also presented some implications and recommendations for rural development and building in hilly locations.

type: item
description: While tourism flows have been extensively studied in terms of their scale, the quality of tourism flows remains underexplored. However, studying only the scale and quantity of tourist flows makes it difficult to objectively assess their impact on the economic benefits of tourism. Based on international inbound tourist and foreign exchange income data in Jiangxi Province since 2000, this paper examines the characteristics of both the quantity and quality of tourist flows in terms of their temporal and spatial distribution. Spatial distribution maps and spatial centroid migration routes were created using ArcGIS. Additionally, a Python grey relational analysis was conducted on seven factors from four aspects that influence the quality of inbound tourist flows. The results show that: 1) The spatial development of inbound tourism flows exhibits an asynchrony between quantity and quality. This highlights the necessity for destinations to prioritize enhancing both quality and efficiency while expanding tourism scale; 2) While the regional disparities in the number of inbound tourists have widened, the regional disparities in the quality of tourism flows have diminished, indicating a significant shift in dynamics; 3) Public health crises like COVID-19 exert a decisive influence on the quantity of inbound tourism, whereas their impact on the quality of inbound tourism is relatively modest; 4) Economic development levels, degrees of openness to the global stage, and the quality and allure of tourist attractions play pivotal roles in facilitating the transformation of the economic benefits derived from tourism.
