Characteristics of Local Modulation Beam Propagating through Spatial Filter System by Kewei You, Yanli Zhang, Xuejie Zhang, Jianqiang Zhu

“…Thus, the evolutional characteristics of a beam modulated by a local defect propagating through a spatial filter system at an image reply plane and a downstream plane are analyzed in detail. Modulation stripes appear at the image reply plane; these are caused by the pinhole cutoff effect. …”

But I Trust My Teen: Parents' Attitudes and Response to a Parental Monitoring Intervention by Aaron Metzger, Christa Ice, Lesley Cottrell

“…In the intervention group, parents’ beliefs about the importance of trust and privacy were associated with a steeper decline in monitoring across time. Finally, parents’ attitudes about the normative nature of teen experimentation were associated with a quadratic parental monitoring time trend in the intervention but not the control group. …”

Rancang Bangun Pengemasan Produk Kacang Goreng Otomatis Berbasis Mikrokontroler by Yusni Hasanah, Nefy Puteri Novani

“…The conclusions of this research are (1) The system can detect the supply of fried peanuts in the funnel/silo using  infrared FC-51 sensor with a distance range of 1 – 8 cm. (2) The system can read the mass input selected by user, namely 75 g, 100 g, and 150 g with a push button and displayed through the LCD. (3) The system can fill the fried peanuts into packages according to the mass that has been set through the KY-008 laser sensor and laser receiver, using the tube volume formula  with a percentage error of 4.5% for a mass of 75 grams, 3.83% for a mass of 100 grams, and 5.41% for a mass of 150 grams. (4) The system can perform the package closing process using servo motors, heating elements, and stepper motors. The duration of time required by the heating element in gluing the plastic ranges from 3 to 4 seconds. …”

A study of teak wood quality from community forests in Gunungkidul II. Growth-stress measurement by Sri Nugroho Marsoem, Vendy Eko Prasetyo, Joko Sulistyo, Ganis Lukmandaru

“…The radial distributions of internal residual-stress were varied among the individuals which some trees exhibited steeper released strain gradients. Thus, it is important to reduce the gradient from pith to periphery of released-strain patterns to prevent the defect related to the growth stresses.…”

GIS-Based Identification and Analysis of Optimal Evacuation Areas and Routes in Flood-Prone Zones of Swabi District, Pakistan by Sareer Ahmad, Muhammad Waseem, Sadaquat Hussain, Mudassar Munir Shah, Fouzia Perveen Malik, Salman Masood, Megersa Kebede Leta

“…This study explores the main elements causing flooding in Pakistan’s Swabi area and finds that elevation, slope, precipitation, and vicinity of rivers all play a major role in flooding occurrences. Low-lying areas, steeper slopes, intense monsoon rainfall, and proximity to rivers increase vulnerability to floods. …”
