The aim of this research is to acknowledge the influence of capital, worker, educational level and technology toward the production output. The data applied is a particular primary data within the data accumulation method of questionnaire consists of 7 question items. This re   search is a certain population research contains of 60 respondents (business units). The method applied is OLS (Ordinary Least Square) method by applying classic assumption test and statistic test to examine the influence of independent variable to dependent one. The result obtained shows that the educational level does not have significant influence towards the production output, whereas the three other variables, which are: capital, workers, and technology does positively and significantly influence the production output. The most production factors which influence the output is the worker. Economical scale condition shows the increasing return to scale condition so that the production output still able to be increased further by increasing the input.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v3i1.2056

In node localization algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the least square method is affected by the measurement error, which leads to position error of the unknown node. In order to solve the problem that the error is too high, we propose a novel WSNs localization algorithm based on artificial fish swarm (AFSA). In the proposed algorithm, artificial fish swarm, which has some advantages such as requirements for the initial value and parameter setting is not high, the optimization speed is quick and so on, is introduced in position process. Firstly, the distances between nodes are obtained by using the TDOA algorithm. Then the geometrical position of the unknown nodes is estimated by the artificial fish swarm optimization algorithm. The simulation results show that compared with the least square method, the algorithm proposed in the paper can reduce the computation amount, get the optimal solution quickly and improve the accuracy of the node without increasing the cost and power consumption. Moreover, the number of beacon nodes is relatively small, so the network cost is reduced to a certain extent.

A concept of a kidney uptake coefficient (UC) of 131I-o-hippurate was developed by analogy from the corresponding kidney clearance of blood plasma in the early period after injection of the hippurate. The UC for each kidney was defined as the count-rate over its ROI at a time shorter than the peak in the renoscintigraphic curve divided by the integral of the count-rate curve over the "blood"-ROI. A procedure for normalization of both curves against each other was also developed. The total kidney clearance of the hippurate was determined from the function of plasma activity concentration vs. time after a single injection; the determinations were made at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 min after intravenous administration of 131I-o-hippurate and the best-fit curve was obtained by means of the least-square method. When the UC was related to the absolute value of the clearance a positive linear correlation was found (r = 0.922, ρ > 0.99). Using this regression equation the clearance could be estimated in reverse from the uptake coefficient calculated solely on the basis of the renoscintigraphic curves without blood sampling. The errors of the estimate are compatible with the requirement of a fast appraisal of renal function for purposes of clinical diagknosis.

In this study, two-phase asymmetric peristaltic Carreau-Yasuda nanofluid flow in a vertical and tapered wavy channel is demonstrated and the mixed heat transfer analysis is considered for it. For the modeling, two-phase method is considered to be able to study the nanoparticles concentration as a separate phase. Also it is assumed that peristaltic waves travel along X-axis at a constant speed, c. Furthermore, constant temperatures and constant nanoparticle concentrations are considered for both, left and right walls. This study aims at an analytical solution of the problem by means of least square method (LSM) using the Maple 15.0 mathematical software. Numerical outcomes will be compared. Finally, the effects of most important parameters (Weissenberg number, Prandtl number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, local temperature and nanoparticle Grashof numbers) on the velocities, temperature and nanoparticles concentration functions are presented. As an important outcome, on the left side of the channel, increasing the Grashof numbers leads to a reduction in velocity profiles, while on the right side, it is the other way around.

This paper deals with the minimal-cost control of the modified activated sludge process with varying level of wastewater in the aerator tank. The model-based adaptive controller of the effluent substrate concentration, basing on the substrate consumption rate and manipulating the effluent flow rate outcoming from the aerator tank, is proposed and its performance is compared with conventional PI controller and open loop behavior. Since the substrate consumption rate is not measurable on-line, the estimation procedure on the basis of the least-square method is suggested. Finally, it is proved that cooperation of the DO concentration controller with the adaptive controller of the effluent substrate concentration allows the process to be operated at minimum costs (low consumption of aeration energy).
