<p>The paper presents power quality enhancement on low voltage of three phase grid caused by PV generator integration under variabel solar irradiance level on constant temperature and load. MPPT Fuzzy helps to generate duty cycle to control DC/DC boost converter of PV generators. This model was expected to improve power quality due to unbalance voltage and current, low voltage and current harmonics, and low input power factor. There were eigth scenarios PV generator connected to three phase grid using MPPT Fuzzy and compared with MPPT P and O. The research results that application of two methods on different irradiance and PV generator integration level produces unbalanced voltage value stable at 0%. At the same conditions, the use of MPPT Fuzzy results unbalanced current was greater than MPPT P and O. On solar irradiance level fixed, the greater number of PV generator connected to three-phase grid, then value of average voltage and current harmonics (THD) will increases. At the level of solar radiation increases, average grid voltage and current THD also have increased. The average grid voltage and current THD was reduced after using MPPT Fuzzy. The application of MPPT Fuzzy was able to enhance profile of grid voltage and current THD due to integration of a number of PV generator to three phase grid corresponding with IEEE Standard 519-1992. MPPT Fuzzy was capable to improve input power factor better than MPPT P and O.</p>

Basic fertilization and nitrogen top-dressing of basil was studied in 1984 and 1985 at the Department of Horticulture, University of Helsinki. The total N doses applied were 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 and 1.6 kg N/100 m2. In 1984 the plants were of a mixture of different fenotypes and two of those formed 85 % of the crop-stand. In 1985 the variety grown was ’Budakalasz’. The optimum basic fertilization proved to be a compound fertilizer at the rate (NPK) of 0.4—0.16—0.68 kg/100 m2. The content of volatile oils in dried herb ranged from 0.32 to 1.46 %. The total oil content was not significantly affected by fertilization except in 1984 when the fertilization decreased the oil content in the other of those two major fenotypes.

Introduction: Selasih is one of tropical and subtropical plant used as traditional medicine. It has antibacterial activity especially toward Gram-positive bacteria because it contains volatile oils, tannin, flavonoid and tertepenoid. Method: The study was performed as an experimental laboratory study used Kirby Bauer agar diffusion applied to eight samples of Streptococcus sanguis which was done by twice repetition for each sample. The concentrations of ethanol extract were 16%, 8%, 4%, 2% and 1%.The result was analysed using ANOVA method for single factor of experimental design. The result of the study showed that there was evidence of the antibacterial effect contained in the ethanol extract of selasih leaves inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus sanguis . The average of inhibitory zone for each concentration in every sample, were: 5,25 mm for 16%, 3,22 mm for 8%, 1,84 mm for 4%, 1,53 mm for  2% and 0,19 mm for 1%. The conclusion of the study indicates that there is an antibacterial effects in ethanol extract of selasih leaves (Ocimum basilicum Linn) which inhibits the growth of Streptococcus sanguis. This antibacterial strength is caused by the active content of selasih leaves extract.Conclusion: The extract of basilicum ethanol (Ocimum basilicum L) effectively inhibits the growth of Streptococcus sanguis.

Design of a fast, improved and reliable solar Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is described in this work. The working algorithm was motivated from the existing Perturb and Observe method for tracking MPP of Solar Photovoltaic (SPV). The tracker was developed using an Arduino Uno development kit which is run by ATMega 328P microcontroller and clocked at 16MHz. Due to high frequency operation the model was fast and accurate and consumes very low power and can be driven by 5V only. Proteus 8.3 simulator was used and further a hardware model was designed in order to realize the operation. MPP was tracked very quickly and accurately in accordance with the change in solar irradiance. The tracker offered an efficiency of ranging from 96.40% -99.25% at different irradiance level.
