Nutritional and quality changes in piglet concentrate affected by the mix

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the reasons of quality deviation of a concentrate from a predefined standard. Five treatments were established: T1 - Control, standard concentrate formulation (SCF); T2 - PXMore5, SCF with more 5% vitamin-mineral premix (VMP); T3 - PXLess5, SCF with less 5% VMP. All three treatments used a 400kg batches in an INTECNIAL mixer; T4 - FeedMixer, SCF using a 4,000kg batch in an IMOTO mixer; T5 - PremixMixer, SCF using a 1,200kg batch in an MUYANG mixer. For each treatment, bags of 20 kg were stored in three storage places for four months. Water activity of concentrate was affected by temperature and air relative humidity in different storage places. Regarding the kind of mixer, the greatest variation in concentration of crude protein, mineral residue, copper, zinc, and selenium was observed in the PremixMixer. Adjustments are imperative in the handling and use procedures of this kind of mixer to meet the quality requirements required in the concentrate production. Analyzing the effect of the mineral-vitamin premix level, no difference could be defined with the evaluated parameters.

Quality Deviation Control for Aircraft Using Digital Twin

During the manufacturing process of aircraft, quality deviation problems inevitably occur due to the high complexity of aircraft design, manufacturing errors, tooling mistakes, human factors, environmental influences, design defects, and other factors. The current quality deviation control system of civil aircraft suffers from two problems: (1) quality deviation control data are scattered in more than 100 management systems, and it is difficult to extract quality data-related information from the whole life cycle of the aircraft involving the main manufacturer and each supplier and (2) there is a lack of quality data analysis and a closed-loop information-physics fusion system for quality deviation control. Thus, it is difficult to locate the quality deviation problems and it takes a long time to deal with these problems as well. In this paper, a digital twin-based quality deviation control model is proposed. Through the digital twin modeling based on asset management shell technology, the multi-source and heterogeneous quality deviation data can be extracted and integrated. Furthermore, to deal with the second problem, a quality deviation system has been built based on digital twin. In this system, the aircraft quality deviation data can be analyzed by the FP-growth association rule algorithm and the results are provided through the system to guide the assembly site, improving the efficiency and accuracy of quality problem-solving in the physical world. In addition, a case study is stated, where the proposed approach is applied to deal with the aircraft quality deviation problems.

Analisis Kualitas Daya Listrik Pada Penggunaan Modul Surya Sederhana Untuk Pompa Air Rumah Tangga

The use of solar modules to meet the needs of everyday life is something interesting to use. Harmonics is a phenomenon of power quality deviation that can distort voltage and current waveforms. In this experiment, a simple inverter with 1000 W capability will be used, then will be loaded with water pumps and other household appliances. The method used is to measure the power factor and harmonics generated by using a measuring device. In this process needs to be assessed and will be seen using the ability of the inverter and the quality of the electric power generated in this solar power generation system. Based on the results of measurements and calculations on a water pump with a power of 680 W and 1 incandescent lamp with a power of 60 Watts, the value of the power factor generated is 0.95 while the total harmonic voltage distortion (THDv) value is when the water pump load is THDv 1.9 % and at THDv incandescent lamps 1.6%.

Hubungan Antar Faktor Penyebab Human Error Terhadap Jumlah Penyimpangan Produk Blister Di PT. XXX

Human error is the main cause of blister product quality deviation at PT. XXX, which lead by personnel factor and work method. The research intends to analyze the relationship between personnel qualification level (blister production team), number of blister product and production length (Z blister machine), with blister product deviation at PT. XXX (2015-2017). The research was a descriptive-observational study (retrospective) by linier regression analysis using 2 variables and multi variable. The t-test analysis result between personnel qualification level and blister product deviation, p=0.041 (p<0.05) showed a significant relationship between those variables. The t-test analysis result between number of blister product and blister product deviation, p=0.164 (p>0.05) showed that there is no significant relationship between those variables. The result of t-test between production length (Z blister machine) and blister product deviation, p=0.542 (p>0.05) showed that there is no significant relationship between those variables. The F-test analysis result showed a significant relationship between personnel qualification level (blister production team), number of blister product and production length (Z blister machine) with blister product deviation (p=0,000; p<0.05).

Comparing Measures of Voice Quality From Sustained Phonation and Continuous Speech

Purpose The question of what type of utterance—a sustained vowel or continuous speech—is best for voice quality analysis has been extensively studied but with equivocal results. This study examines whether previously reported differences derive from the articulatory and prosodic factors occurring in continuous speech versus sustained phonation. Method Speakers with voice disorders sustained vowels and read sentences. Vowel samples were excerpted from the steadiest portion of each vowel in the sentences. In addition to sustained and excerpted vowels, a 3rd set of stimuli was created by shortening sustained vowel productions to match the duration of vowels excerpted from continuous speech. Acoustic measures were made on the stimuli, and listeners judged the severity of vocal quality deviation. Results Sustained vowels and those extracted from continuous speech contain essentially the same acoustic and perceptual information about vocal quality deviation. Conclusions Perceived and/or measured differences between continuous speech and sustained vowels derive largely from voice source variability across segmental and prosodic contexts and not from variations in vocal fold vibration in the quasisteady portion of the vowels. Approaches to voice quality assessment by using continuous speech samples average across utterances and may not adequately quantify the variability they are intended to assess.

Quality Deviation Analysis of a Multistage Machining Process

In a multistage machining process, due to the variation accumulation and interaction between different machining stages, variation analysis and diagnosis for quality-related problems become complicated. In this paper, a fault analysis and prediction method is proposed for connecting engineering design with the activities of process variation sources modeling, dimensional variation analysis, and statistical estimate of variations source. Furthermore, a hypothesis testing method is introduced to determine whether each of potential process faults exists in terms of the statistical significance. At last, an experimental study is provided to illustrate the validity and the significance of the proposed methodology.

Taguchi Optimization to Determine Optimal Denier of the Polyester Fibre

Polyester fibre is the synthetic fiber made with man-made fibers. Its surface is smooth with the texture of fine linen. It has good flexibility and durability and is the best non-iron fibres. In order to promote the accuracy and reduce the quality deviation of melt spinning, the Taguchi method was adopted in the melt spinning process. The aim of the research is to enhance the optimization of the melt spinning process using the material polyester. First, the Taguchi method is applied to establish the design of experiment. An analysis of variance will be done to arrive at the significant factors that influence the melt spinning quality the most. Lastly, confirmation experiments verified the reproducibility of this experiment. Confirmed by the experiments, results showed that the obtained SN ratios were greater than the signal-to-noise ratio of nine orthogonal array experiments and this means the experiment is reliable.
