This research aimed to develop and a rice cleaning and grizzly-type sieving machine which also evaluates its performance. It consisted of designing, assembling, and performance evaluating of the machine. The desired machine was developed in six main components, i.e., power source, hopper, rice cleaner, rice siever, outlets, and machine frame. The research used three rotational speed treatments (Slow-Middle-Fast or L-S-C rotations) for data collections, whereas the parameters of performance testing consisted of work capacity, engine rotation speed, airflow rate, pulley rotational slip, and grain loss percentage. Engine rotation speeds at L-S-C treatments are 1654, 1817, and 1979 rpm and resulted in 7.04, 7.79, and 8.50 m/s, respectively, for airflow rates produced by the suction from a blower. The most significant rotational slip is occurred at Pulley-4 resulted in 3.27% (operating without samples) and 1.70% (operating with samples); this pulley transmitted rotational power to vibrate the 10-mesh grizzly sieve. The work capacities at L-S-C rotational treatments were 78.5, 81.6, and 146.7 kg/h, respectively. The optimal separation of brans was at C-rotational treatment, while the optimal separation of groats was at L-rotational treatment. The high percentage of grain loss occurred along with a reduction in speed that made the machine work ineffectively.

Granuloma necrosis occurs in hosts susceptible to pathogenic mycobacteria and is a diagnostic visual feature of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in humans and in super-susceptible Diversity Outbred (DO) mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Currently, no published automated algorithms can detect granuloma necrosis in pulmonary TB. However, such a method could reduce variability, and transform visual patterns into quantitative data for statistical and machine learning analyses. Here, we used histopathological images from super-susceptible DO mice to train, validate, and performance test an algorithm to detect regions of cell-poor necrosis. The algorithm, named 2D-TB, works on 2-dimensional histopathological images in 2 phases. In phase 1, granulomas are detected following background elimination. In phase 2, 2D-TB searches within granulomas for regions of cell-poor necrosis. We used 8 lung sections from 8 different super-susceptible DO mice for training and 10-fold cross validation. We used 13 new lung sections from 10 different super-susceptible DO mice for performance testing. 2D-TB reached 100.0% sensitivity and 91.8% positive prediction value. Compared to an expert pathologist, agreement was 95.5% and there was a statistically significant positive correlation for area detected by 2D-TB and the pathologist. These results show the development, validation, and accurate performance of 2D-TB to detect granuloma necrosis.

Hanjeli has a hard rind, so it takes a peeler and polisher to process it. One of the machines used is the Hanjeli Polishing Machine AGR-RM40 in the Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University. However, this machine has the disadvantage that most of the hanjeli seeds are crushed and are not polished. This is due to the polishing space which is quite narrow so that it puts great pressure on the hanjeli seeds during the polishing. Meanwhile, the existence of not polished hanjeli was caused by friction between the cylinders and hanjeli which is not maximum. Therefore, this machine needs to be modified to improve the results of a better polishing. The method used in this research was engineering with several stages, such as designing a polishing unit, analysis, and performance testing on hanjeli batu and hanjeli pulut. The modification of the Polishing Unit on Hanjeli Polishing Machine (MPBH-0219) has a cylinder length dimension of 167 mm and a diameter of 37.9 mm. Based on the performance test, this machine is good and worth using where actual capacity is obtained 35 kg / hour, 96 % engine efficiency, 58,46 % dumping yield, 0.50 performance, and 1.30 kW actual power requirements. Keywords: Hanjeli Polishing Machine, Modification, Performance Test.

Abstract Palm oil fields with slopes require special wheels for transportation for transporting fresh fruit bunches (FFB), the special wheels in question are modified wheels from the existing cage wheel, the modified wheels can adjust the slope conditions on the land with the lug angle adjustment mechanism. The objective of this study was to test the functional and performance of the modified lug wheel as a means of transporting FFB on sloping land using a hand tractor on a pivot type trailer. Functional testing on the modified lug wheel was carried out by observing changes in the angle of the lugs (0, 15, 30, 45)0 by lifting one of the tractor shafts first using a jack, after which the locking pins were released. The angle change rim can be moved clockwise or anticlockwise by hand according to the desired lug angle. Performance testing on the modified lug wheel is carried out by observing and calculating the slip on the wheel. Functional testing on trailer pivots is carried out by observing all components of the towing system when installed and operated, to determine whether the trailer towing system can function properly. Performance testing on the pivot trailer is done by observing and calculating the turning radius when the tractor turns. Performance testing is also carried out by observing the stability of the two-wheel tractor and trailer. The slope of the land and the angle of the lugs greatly affect wheel slip, the higher the slope on a land, the higher the possibility of wheel slippage during operation. The test results show that the use of modified lug wheels shows better performance at 30° lug angle, as seen from the smaller slip value at 30° lug angle.

Biochar production by pyrolysis stove and utilization of the excess heat to generate electricity, simultaneously, could improve the performance of the whole system, and give a significant solution to both energy and environmental problems. This is especially if implemented as a stand-alone facility and applied in a remote area. The purpose of this study is to evaluate technical feasibility and strategy in using pyrolysis stoves to produce biochar and generate electricity by ORC, simultaneously. This study combines various data obtained previously, which consists of pyrolysis stove design and performance test for simultaneous biochar production and thermal energy use, and ORC experiments for electricity generation. Those data then was used to analyze the technical feasibility of the simultaneous production of biochar and electricity generation using the excess heat from the pyrolysis stove. The integration of the pyrolysis stove with the ORC was conducted in a simulative study. The results showed that biochar produced using the pyrolysis stove has characteristics that are very supportive for use as a soil enhancer. Excess heat from the pyrolysis stove during the production of biochar can be used to fuel the ORC system to generate electricity. The optimum biochar yield and thermal efficiency of the ORC were found to be optimum at the stove's airflow rate of 0.034-0.035 kg/s. Accordingly, a combination of biochar production and electricity generation using the ORC system is considered to be technologically feasible to meet the sustainability requirement.

SUMMARYThe implications of genetic variation in maternal performance for the relative merits of common selection strategies have been investigated. If the accuracy of progeny testing is computed without taking maternal effects into account, the estimate is biased upward. This bias increases as the correlation between direct and maternal genetic effects decreases from positive to negative values. The relative efficiency of progeny and performance test selection is a function of the heritability of direct and maternal genetic effects and the correlation between them. In terms of genetic gain per unit time, progeny testing is almost always less efficient than performance testing. For sire line improvement progeny testing is relatively more useful but is still likely to be less efficient than performance test selection unless there is a negative correlation between direct and maternal genetic effects or the correlation between purebred and crossbred direct genetic effects is very low or negative.Analysis of body weight at 6 and 14 weeks of age in Galway sheep has shown that maternal genetic effects are an important source of variation in this population.
