The use of lightweight plastic materials is widely applied in the manufacturing of car dashboards. Lightweight plastics or polymers, such as ABS plastic, are not strong enough or can easily crack when impacted. Banana pseudostem fibers have good mechanical properties and are a potential reinforcement for composites. This study aims to analyze the tensile strength of unsaturated polyester-banana pseudostem fiber composites produced through the hand lay-up method at three different angles: 0°/90°, 15°/105°, and 30°/120°. The tensile testing refers to ASTM D638 standards. The results of the tensile tests show that the 0°/90° weaving angle variation had the highest tensile strength value, which was 372.07 MPa. The 30°/120° fiber orientation variation had the lowest tensile strength value at 198.12 MPa. The fractures from the tensile tests were observed through macro photos to understand the failure mode. The macro photo observations showed that all specimens experienced fiber pull-out.
 
 

Generators are an important component in electrical generation. One of the disturbances that occurs in the generator is a short circuit fault. PT Oki Pulp and Paper has a Diesel Generator which is equipment that can be used as an alternative electrical generator to meet backup electricity needs, when a trip / shutdown occurs, the diesel generator will become backup power. The diesel generator observed is YCSR with a capacity of 3875 KVA/380 Volts. The purpose of this research is to analyse the Short Circuit Disturbance of Diesel Generator YCSR 3875 KVA and analyse the calculation of the time required for Over Current Protection on short circuit disturbance of Diesel Generator YCSR 3875 KVA. The research was conducted at the DG House of PT Oki Pulp and Paper in December 2024. The results of the short circuit fault analysis obtained are 17,042.40 A. The time required for the relay to disconnect the electricity during a short circuit is 4.09 seconds. The time obtained from the calculation is quite short, it can be seen that the short circuit fault that occurred was 17,042.40 A. To get the results of the relay working time, there is a calculation to find out how much TMS is determined through calculation, from the calculation getting the TMS result of 1,007 seconds. With TMS = 1.007 seconds, calculations are carried out to find the time required for the overcurrent relay to send a signal to the circuit breaker.

The Tanjungpura University Hospital building is located in the city of Pontianak, which is situated on the equator and often faces the potential of lightning strikes, thus requiring the installation of an external lightning surge protection system. This study aims to design an external lightning surge protection system capable of protecting the Tanjungpura University Hospital building using the rolling sphere method. In the rolling sphere method, calculations will be made for the lightning strike distance (R), protection radius (Rp), protection area (Ax), and determination of protection angle (?). The University Tanjungpura Hospital building is at protection level IV, with a current strength of I = 16 kA and a lightning strike distance to the ground of 60.63 meters. The results obtained for using finials with the same height, hp = 1 meter, require hundreds of finials, while using a combination of finials and towers requires 68 finials. In the case of tower finials with a height hp = 10 meters, additional conductor wires are added or the catenary method is used with 14 conductor wires connecting 28 tower finials with a height of 10 meters, due to the areas outside the protection zone between these 28 final towers, necessitating the addition of conductor wires to expand the protection area of the rolling sphere method to protect the areas of the Tanjungpura University Hospital building.

Wireless communication, in its infrastructure nature, faces many challenges such as fading, data coverage, and interference issues. Therefore, High-Fidelity or (Li-Fi) is utilized due to its ability to naturally provide high-density wireless data coverage in closure’s particularly helpful for application(s) in some areas while the radio interference conditions are concern. This article illustrates an advanced Li-Fi approach performing high-speed data transmission between two Personal Computers (PCs) utilizing the Arduino Nano-based technique. In the experimental phase, data is mainly used to be transmitted over red laser diode (630?nm) through (30?cm) in distance, a distance of 30 cm, achieving a high peak speed reach to about (512Bps). The proposed approach performance is computed by evaluating the most important and related metrics like Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Bit-Error-Rate (BER), and influence of throughput on input data over various light circumstance. The proposed approach mainly utilizes a keypad as a user input and two related detection models for both a solar cell and a photodetector in order to make a powerful comparison in terms of performance. the results showed that when the photodetector applies a higher-detection efficiency (via BER enhancement which reaches to 20% over solar-cell), the solar-cell clarify outstanding power and cost-activity. The mentioned findings are propped by elaborated statistical-analyses and MATLAB simulation to design, simulate and visualize the validate functionalities of the robustness and scalability properties of the proposed Li-Fi approach.

This research looks into how well Duolingo and YouTube help people learn Japanese. A quantitative approach was taken, gathering information from 35 individuals through an online questionnaire. Participants were chosen based on whether they used Duolingo, YouTube, or both platforms. The questionnaire explored their past learning experiences, how they use these platforms, their preferences, how effective they think these tools are, and what challenges they encountered while learning. The findings reveal that most of the participants already had some background in Japanese and preferred online resources due to their accessibility, no cost, and fun features. Duolingo was liked for its organized, game-like approach, whereas YouTube was appreciated for its authentic, visual materials. A lot of people enjoyed learning at their own pace, finding listening and pronunciation to be useful strategies. Some individuals struggled with staying motivated and dealing with complicated grammar rules. To sum up, both Duolingo and YouTube are good resources for learning basic Japanese, especially for those studying on their own. However, they work best when used alongside other resources. It is suggested to combine digital tools with guidance from teachers for the best outcomes.

Natural fibers can be used as an alternative basic material for produce SNI helmet that are environmentally friendly. A huge potential of hemp fiber in Indonesia has not apply properly yet. This study propose to determine the ability of tensile strength and impact toughness in hemp fiber composites so that hemp fiber can be used as an alternative material for making SNI helmets. This study uses an unsaturated polyester 157 BQTN-EX resin matrix and MEKPO catalyst. Alkali treatment of the fibers uses 5% NaOH for 2 hours. The composite is made using the hand lay-up method. Variations volume fraction of hemp fiber used are 30%, 40%, 50%. The tensile testing process uses the ASTM D 638-03 standard and impact toughness testing uses the ASTM D 265-03 standard. Based on the research results, the highest tensile test results were obtained at variation on 30% fiber volume fraction is 18.30 MPa, for the highest impact toughness test results were obtained at variation on 50% fiber volume fraction is 0.0248 J/mm2. The greater the variation of the fiber volume fraction given, the lower the tensile strength value produced, while the higher the variation of the fiber volume fraction given, the greater the energy absorbed so that the impact price increases. Based on the test results, this hemp fiber composite needs to be considered as an alternative material to replace SNI helmet manufacturing.

This research examines the effectiveness of Barium Ferrite and PANI/Fe?O? composite as Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) to reduce radar detection. Barium Ferrite has high absorption at high frequencies as well as good thermal stability, making it suitable for applications under extreme and long-term conditions. In contrast, PANI/Fe?O? composites exhibit high flexibility, the ability to absorb waves over a wider frequency range, as well as light weight, ideal for requirements with lightweight materials, such as aircraft. The analysis shows that the selection of RAM depends on the application requirements regarding frequency range and thermal stability. This study recommends the development of composite materials that combine the advantages of both materials as well as field tests to ensure optimal performance in stealth applications.

spam is posting unsolicited messages or advertising on social media, particularly Twitter. These messages are normally designed to sell specific products and services or links. In this research, we developed a fuzzy control system to detect Arabic spam tweets based on deep learning with a large language model. Initially, we performed text cleaning and further transformed text into vectors with the help of AraGpt and AraBert. Subsequently, we employed a multi-layer perceptron network model in feature extraction of essential features. Finally, we adopted the fuzzy logic control system for classifying spam tweets using features filtered from deep networks. Employing the proposed Fuzzy logic control system provided nearly a 100% comparative to only utilizing the deep neural networks, which yielded an almost 99% throughput for both large language models Aragpt and Arabert, with a 100% F1 score for the Aragpt model and 99% for Arabert model respectively.
