Untuk dapat memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat dan industri, Indonesia memerlukan pasokan energi yang cukup besar di mana saat ini konsumsi energi Indonesia masih sangat tergantung pada sumber energi tidak terbarukan seperti minyak bumi, batu bara dan gas alam. Pemanfaatan bahan bakar fosil tersebut secara berkelanjutan berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan emisi gas rumah kaca dalam jumlah besar yang menuntun kepada perubahan iklim secara global.

The method used in this research is qualitative through literature study using historical and scientific approaches. The results and discussion of this research include, the history of the development of scientific interpretation, limitations, opinions of scholars and the book of scientific interpretation. This study concludes that Scientific Interpretation is a part of the discourse on Al-Qur'an studies and interpretations whose existence cannot be avoided. There are differences of opinion among scholars regarding Scientific Interpretation, some accept and reject the presence of this interpretation. The presence of Scientific Interpretation adds to the scientific treasures of Qur'anic interpretation, especially in developing the principle of harmony between the Qur'an and science.

The method used in this research is qualitative through literature study using a historical approach. The results and discussion of this study include interpretation methodology, contemporary modern interpretation figures including; A. Hasan with his commentary work Al Furqan, Hasbi Ash Shiddieqy with his work Tafsir An-Nur, and Hamka with his work Tafsir Al-Azhar. This study concludes that there are A. Hasan, Hasbi Ash Shiddieqy and Hamka including contemporary modern commentators in Indonesia, whose style of interpretation is quite different from the interpretation in classical times. The presence of contemporary modern commentators in Indonesia adds to the scientific treasures of the Qur'an and Tafsir, especially in knowledge about contemporary modern interpreters. The weakness of this research is that it only describes three Indonesian mufassir figures in the contemporary mo...

This paper presents the realization of such technologies which demands reliable and error-free biometric identity verification systems. High dimensional patterns are not permitted due to eigen-decomposition in high dimensional feature space and degeneration of scattering matrices in small size sample. Generalization, dimensionality reduction and maximizing the margins are controlled by minimizing weight vectors. Results show good pattern by multimodal biometric system proposed in this paper. This paper is aimed at investigating a biometric identity system using Support Vector Machines(SVMs) and Lindear Discriminant Analysis(LDA) with MFCCs and implementing such system in real-time using SignalWAVE.

This study discussed an analysis of the figurative language in the Maroon 5 song's lyrics. This study emphasizes the use of figurative language and meaning in the lyrics of the song "Nobody's Love" by Maroon 5. Furthermore, the data source was taken from the lyrics of the Maroon 5 song lyrics. This research employed the descriptive qualitative model. In the analysis, the procedure began by reading the lyrics. Second, the researchers sought to identify words, phrases, and phrases that involved figurative language and catch each figurative language's context. Thirdly, the researchers took some notes about figurative language. Finally, the researchers classified and rechecked the details and analyzed them. The next step was the discussion of each category's results. The last step was drawing conclusions based on the report. The data showed five types of figurative language found in the lyrics of this song:

The result from the different surveys shows that these vulnerabilities affect home user very badly. As strong security, controls have been implemented in businesses to minimize losses, hackers and fraudsters have moved their attention towards end users, which are normally easier prey. The increase in the need of security amongst end users is an important task of the today. A small security survey has been conducted to get an overview of the user’s perception about Internet security and their knowledge. Some suggestions are also given which would help to create awareness about Internet security in home users.

Brand dapat mengalami penurunan atau bahkan “mati”, yang dimana brand tersebut tidak memiliki konsep yang seragam atau konsep perusahaan cabang satu dengan cabang lainnya tidak memiliki benang merah, sehingga tidak terdapatnya konsistensi dan integritas dalam pengaplikasian brand pada perusahaan. Pada saat brand sudah sampai kondisi tersebut, brand masih dapat diperbaiki lagi atau di hidupkan kembali. Pembaharuan (Branding) merupakan solusi yang dapat dilakukan oleh suatu perusahaan atau lembaga untuk memperbaharui sebuah brand yang telah ada agar menjadi lebih baik dan dikenal oleh masyarakat dan dapat memiliki differensiasi dengan kompetitor yang sejenis. Kondisi inilah yang terjadi pada MBS (Mandiri Bahari Sejahtera) Bistro Cafe, merupakan perusahaan franchise yang bergerak pada bidang kuliner khususnya bistro, MBS Bistro Cafe saat ini memiliki 68 ...

The prime focus of this study is to explore Trace Scheduling Methodology and extracts novel algorithm-to-hardware mapping features for efficient hardware design. Trace scheduling is a topic under compiler design theory and is efficiently used to design compliers for VLIW machines.The research, inspired by trace scheduling, introduces the concept of efficient hardware design through identification of traces in the algorithm and their mapping for optimal hardware affinity.The research work first investigates this concept on a relatively simpler design such as an FIR filter in order to establish a link between the two technology domains which are compiler theory and digital system design. Later, the devised methodology is applied on applications from machine vision and cryptography to design area efficient, low power, moderate data rate architectures.The research presents novel hardware mapping of Peak Sorter and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm for moderately high data rate applications.The designs offer a best area performance tradeoff.The utility of the technique developed in this research can be found in mapping complex algorithms in Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits and digital design compilers.

The first method uses a single parameter, residual energy, to determine cluster head suitability in a passive cluster head election process; this is intended for energy constrained applications. Second, gateway nodes are allowed to distribute their sensor readings across different cluster heads, to better balance the service load. Third, this paper shows that up to a maximum of six new re-elections may only be required due to a single cluster head resignation, and, therefore, the algorithm is scalable. Forth, a sensing window is applied in TDMA slots to improve the energy efficiency of intra-cluster communications. MATLAB simulations show that the proposed algorithm has longer lifetime than basic passive clustering, and has improved intra-cluster communications scheduling (i.e., better energy efficiency).

For this purpose, the aluminum clad of an MTR was replaced separately with stainless steel-316 and zircaloy-4. Calculations were carried out to find the core excess reactivity, neutron flux spectrum, prompt neutron generation time and effective delayed-neutron fraction. Nuclear reactor analysis codes including WIMS-D4 and CITATION were employed to carry out these calculations. It was observed that at the beginning of life, the excess reactivity was maximum at 0.054110 Dk/k when zircaloy-4 was used as clad while it was minimum at À0.365650 Dk/k when stainless steel-316 was the clad as compared to 0.017945 Dk/k for aluminum. The thermal neutron flux at the mid of the central flux trap increased by 59.9% and 12.5% for stainless steel and zircaloy-4 clads, respectively, from the flux of the original aluminum clad. The prompt neutron generation time was maximum at 45.36 ms when stainless steel-316 was the clad while it was minimum at 44.03 ms for the original aluminum clad. The effective delayed-neutron fraction was maximum at 0.007185 for the original aluminum clad while it was minimum at 0.007078 for stainless steel clad.
