Zinc/MCM-41/air cell, in its dry form without the electrolyte,demonstrates humidity sensing property. A good linear correlation between the cell's open circuit voltage (OCV) and the relative humidity content is observed. The systempossesses the potential to be developed into a low cost microhumidity sensor. An ultra thin cell of thickness not more than 40 μm has been fabricated and its use as a humiditysensor is substantiated.ABSTRAK: Sel zinc/MCM-41/udara, dalam keadaan kering tanpa elektrolit, menunjukkan sifat pencirian kelembapan.

The effect law and mechanism of limestone powder on autogenous shrinkage of concrete was studied. The results indicate that limestone powder accelerates autogenous shrinkage speed of concrete on which effect of fineness is little, and limestone powder reduces autogenous shrinkage which decreases with the increase of fineness. The change law of autogenous shrinkage of concrete is consistent with that of chemically combined water of paste. Autogenous shrinkage of concrete is also divided into 2 stages according to the initial vapor saturated stage and subsequent reduction stage of interior relative humidity, with both showing a good linear correlation at each stage.

Prediction of solar irradiance plays an essential role in many energy systems. The objective of this paper is to present a low-cost solar irradiance meter based on artificial neural networks (ANN). A photovoltaic (PV) mathematical model of 50 watts and 36 cells was used to extract the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage of the PV module. The obtained data was used to train the ANN to predict solar irradiance for horizontal surfaces. The strategy was to measure the open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current of the PV module and then feed it to the ANN as inputs to get the irradiance. The experimental and simulation results showed that the proposed method could be utilized to achieve the value of solar irradiance with acceptable approximation. As a result, this method presents a low-cost instrument that can be used instead of an expensive pyranometer.

ABSTRACT Two mold species, Stachybotrys chartarum and Aspergillus versicolor, were inoculated onto agar overlaid with cellophane, allowing determination of a direct measurement of biomass density by weighing. Biomass density, ergosterol content, and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase (3.2.1.52) activity were monitored from inoculation to stationary phase. Regression analysis showed a good linear correlation to biomass density for both ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity. The same two mold species were inoculated onto wallpapered gypsum board, from which a direct biomass measurement was not possible. Growth was measured as an increase in ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity. A good linear correlation was seen between ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity. From the experiments performed on agar medium, conversion factors (CFs) for estimating biomass density from ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity were determined. The CFs were used to estimate the biomass density of the molds grown on gypsum board. The biomass densities estimated from ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity data gave similar results, showing significantly slower growth and lower stationary-phase biomass density on gypsum board than on agar.

A small hydroponic system that can use sustainable energy such as solar power has been developed. However, the amount of power generated is not constant, and in the case of unstable weather, enough power cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is necessary to store the generated energy in a battery. In order to design low-cost charging equipment, it is necessary to use a smaller battery and to estimate the remaining charge capacity (state of charge: SOC) accurately. To provide an accurate SOC estimation for such systems, a fusion of CI (current integral) and OCV (open circuit voltage) methods is proposed. When using this method, it is necessary to frequently disconnect the electronic load. In these experiments, the optimum disconnection duration, the effects on plants of frequent battery disconnection, and cutting off of the lighting were investigated.

Abstract The latex and natural rubber from rubber trees [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. exAdr. de Juss.) Muell. Arg.] from clones (RRIM 600, IAN 873, GT 1 and PB 252) recommended to the state of São Paulo, Brazil, were studied in three different tapping systems. The parameters studied were dry rubber content (DRC), percentages of ash and of nitrogen, Wallace Plasticity (P0) and Mooney Viscosity (VR). The rubber properties vary considerably as a function of clone type, tapping method and season of the year. DRC tends to decrease in the beginning of the dry, cold season (May and June), whereas both nitrogen % and ash % increase in the same period. A good linear correlation was obtained for P0 and VR. The highest P0 and VR were obtained for RRIM 600.

<p>A simple linear empirical relationship between high intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity K, and Debye temperature θ<em><sub>a</sub></em> is suggested from data on high intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity K, and Debye temperature θ<em><sub>a</sub></em> for some selected II-VI and III-V cubic zincblende type, and I-VII and II-VI rock-salt type binary semiconductors. A good linear correlation between Debye temperature and the high intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity was obtained. The minimum average percentage deviations in the present approach reveal that our simple model prove its identity and soundness compared to those of other author relations.</p>

In this paper, different SBA-15 molecular sieves were prepared in a facile sol-gel method by using a low-cost sodium silicate as silicon source at different ripening temperature. The materials were characterized by small-angle XRD, TEM, nitrogen adsorption–desorption test. The results showed that ripening temperature can affect the pore size and mesostructure of SBA-15. High surface area SBA-15 can be obtained at low ripening temperature, and plugged mesostructure can be prepared at high temperature. The gravimetric humidity sensing property of the materials were tested based on a transducer of quartz crystal microbalance. The test results revealed that all the samples showed high response in the wide range of relative humidity. The sensors based on that prepared at 35°C show a good stability and linearity in the range of 11.3%RH to 98%RRH along with fast response (12s) and recovery time (8s), ultrahigh sensitivity and low hysteresis, implying that has a great potential for humidity detection.
