{"title":"BIM-INTEGRATED SYSTEM: A SUCCESSFUL ALTERNATIVE FOR ESTIMATING CASH FLOW IN BUILDING PROJECTS","authors":"Hang Thu Thi Le, Tinh Dinh Cong","doi":"10.11113/aej.v13.19476","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11113/aej.v13.19476","url":null,"abstract":"Cash flow calculation is an essential economic aspect of evaluating the success of a construction project. Strong cash flow positively impacts not only project effectiveness but also company profitability. Cash flow calculation is a good way for the contractors to avoid risks related to delay, cost overrun, or incompletion caused by financial deficits in the project’s performance. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a revolutionary technology 4.0 that has been mandated and adopted by many countries all over the world. In Vietnam, a roadmap for BIM application in the construction sector was issued in 2023, under which obligatory new investment projects in public investment state capital provide BIM files to serve the appraisal of feasibility study reports, construction designs carried out after fundamental designs, applications for construction permits, and acceptance testing tasks. However, BIM authoring programming is still limited to cost management, especially cash flow calculations, because Vietnamese contractors are still facing a lot of difficulties in applying BIM to their projects, especially cash flow calculations. Therefore, this paper proposes a BIM-integrated system for calculating construction cash flow at the early phase of the project life cycle. The proposed system includes four modules: BIM visualization and data integration, construction cost estimating, construction project scheduling, and project cash flow calculation. The main functionality of the BIM visualization and data integration module is to provide a 3D visualized model with enough geometric and non-geometric data for the project quantity take-off. The functionality of the construction cost estimating module is to provide the direct cost categories, such as labor, material, and machine, and the indirect cost categories to perform all work tasks in the construction project. The main functionality of the construction project scheduling module is to provide the required time to complete all work tasks in the project implementation process. The main functionality of the project cash flow calculating module is to present cash inflows such as advance payment, payments from the owner, and cash outflows such as construction costs, equipment costs, project management costs, and project consultant costs to carry out the projects. The BIM-integrated system will make the calculation process of construction project cash flow easier and more accurate.","PeriodicalId":36749,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Engineering Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139314602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electricity supply from hydro energy is only 8.17%, so this value must be increased to reduce the supply of power plants sourced from fossil fuels. A water turbine is one of the main components in converting hydropower to electrical energy. A cross-flow type water turbine is one of the popular rotors in research in recent years. Several methods are used in turbine development research, including computational fluid dynamics and experimental methods. This research has been done using two methods: the experimental and CFD methods. The study was conducted on variations in the number of blades on the rotor, with variations in blades 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. This study aims to determine the effect of the number of blades on turbine performance. This study was carried out for five repetitions for each rotor. CFD analysis was performed using the Ansys Student version with the CFX solver. The meshing method is tetrahedral, with a speed limit of 4.91 m/s and outlet pressure according to room pressure. This study uses CFD to know the pressure contours and velocity streamlines. The results of this study were analyzed using a single-factor DOE. The most optimal number of blades is 3-blades producing 9.38 Watt of power, and the Coefficient of power is 0.0748. Analysis of Variance for the Single-Factor shows that the number of blades significantly affects the energy produced. Cross-flow rotor design with 3-blades is a good design alternative for hydro turbines.","PeriodicalId":36749,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Engineering Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139314650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrification of the transportation sector is one of the ongoing efforts to reduce the Greenhouse Gas emissions. However, electrification of long haul and heavy-duty vehicles remain a huge challenge due to cost and limitation in the current battery technology. Improving the aerodynamic design of current truck-trailer is an alternative to electrification. This initiative involves modifying the current truck-trailer body design or attaching accessories for aerodynamic drag reduction that can lead to improved fuel economy. In this paper, the effectiveness of four Cab Roof Fairing (CRF) designs on the aerodynamic drag reduction of a simplified truck model is investigated. The results of a numerical simulation performed on a two-dimensional model show that the CRF can reduce aerodynamic drag by up to 45%. The CRF is found to reduce the vertical velocity component of the flow at fore part of the truck body. This leads to a relatively smaller wake region when compared against the baseline case. Wind tunnel results is performed to verify the results of the numerical simulation. At Reynolds number , the measured coefficient of drag reduction is about 6% when compared with the baseline case.","PeriodicalId":36749,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Engineering Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139314703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OPT has been studied as an alternative starch source. To date, reports on the extraction of starch from OPT using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) are limited. The application of UAE is considered to be a simpler and effective way in starch extraction compared to conventional extraction methods. This study aims to investigate the potential of ultrasound-assisted extraction to extract starch from OPT, and optimization using response surface methodology. A three-factor central composite design (CCD) was designed to determine the effects of variables on response. The three variables involved in the study, namely: sonication temperature (45-65°C), sonication time (30-60 min) and sodium metabisulfite concentration (0.5-1.5% w/v). All of the data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The R2 value (95.6%) and model (p <0.0001), indicating the acceptability of the model and significance in the interaction between independent variables. At the optimum conditions of 52.84°C temperature, 30.66 min exposure time and 0.58% w/v sodium metabisulfite concentration, the starch yield achieved its optimum value by 34.21%.

These typhoons can generate storm surges along the coasts and cause inundation of coastal communities. Dagupan City is a low-lying city located along the coast of Lingayen Gulf where 30% of its population live in the coastal barangays. As a coastal community located along the head of the Lingayen Gulf where the bathymetry is shallow, Dagupan city is susceptible to storm surges. This study aims to evaluate the storm surge behavior due to different typhoon tracks and windspeeds along the coast of Dagupan City. To achieve this objective, this study implements numerical simulation of storm surges using the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) model. A simple methodology is employed by selecting representative historical typhoons and creating synthetic typhoons by shifting the tracks along the latitude. Simulations of typhoons with different typhoon tracks reveal the critical tracks that give highest storm surges in Dagupan City. Finally, storm surges are simulated for windspeed intensities of 60, 80 and 100 knots which are applied to the identified critical tracks. The results of this study show that shifting the typhoon tracks affects the magnitude of storm surges in Dagupan City. Generally, the tracks that pass near the center of Lingayen Gulf generate the highest storm surge along the coast, however, eastward synthetic tracks near the mouth of the gulf can also potentially produce storm surges in Dagupan City. In addition, it is found that typhoon tracks coming from the West Philippine Sea can generate higher storm surges in Dagupan City compared to tracks from the Pacific Ocean. The highest storm surge generated by the representative historical typhoon is 1 m produced by Typhoon Vicki 1998 while a storm surge of 2 m could be potentially generated along Dagupan City by a typhoon with windspeed of 100 knots. The results of this study can be helpful in predicting storm surges for different typhoon tracks and windspeeds which can be used for coastal disaster preparedness in Dagupan City.","PeriodicalId":36749,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Engineering Journal","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139314461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on these motivation, this study designs an optimal multikey homomorphic encryption (OMHE) with stacked autoencoder (SAE) based biometric authentication system for CC environment. The proposed OMHE-SAE model aims to encrypt the biometrics using OMHE technique and then verification takes place using SAE model. In addition, the OMHE technique involves the optimal key generation process using sandpiper optimization (SPO) algorithm to effectively choose the keys for encryption and decryption. Furthermore, the verification of decrypted biometrics takes place by the use of SAE model.

However, there is concern regarding their high cost. This work aims to determine important behavior and properties of rhamnolipids and verify their potential for oil degradation. They were characterized using FTIR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy to determine the main functional groups and the chemical structure of rhamnolipids for oil degreasing. Then, the influence of thermodynamic properties on CMC stability was studied to establish the stability behavior. This investigation is essential as good oil degreasing products require low CMC values to minimize the amount used during the oil removal process, form micelles, and solubilize dirt and oil. The oil degradation ability of rhamnolipids in different concentrations was studied using an oil dispersion test and the method of oil removal from a glass surface. Overall, this investigation proves that the temperature of the solution and immersion time influenced the CMC and surface tension value for the rhamnolipids. The lowest CMC value was 35 mg/L at 55 °C after 48 h of stabilization. The minimum recommended amount of rhamnolipids for the oil degrease formulation was also found to be 0.1% w/v, which is very low. This study showed that the behavior and stability of rhamnolipids are suitable for oil degradation applications and can efficiently replace chemical surfactants in oil degradation products.","PeriodicalId":36749,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Engineering Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139314552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Another parameter that influences speech intelligibility is reverberation time. Reverberation time is the time for the sound source to decay by 60 dB. A high reverberation time causes sound to dissipate more slowly, resulting in continual reflection of sound waves, which disrupts student concentration in class. Furthermore, a poor acoustic environment could have an impact on health and lecture delivery. The objective of this study is to determine and analyse the acoustic performance for five selected lecture rooms in UniMAP. The reverberation time is the parameter of this study that was obtained from the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the sound pressure by using the impulsive sound source method from a burst balloon. In this study, the \"balloon pop\" sound pressure was consistently recorded at approximately 105dB across all cases. This measurement indicates the peak sound intensity of the stimulus. The influence of the location of receiver, design, and space volume for the lecture room on the reverberation time was investigated. At a location of 6 m from the sound source, at the back wall of a room with chairs, BKN 5 and BPU 5 measured longer reverberation times of 1.3 s and 1.2 s, respectively. The higher value of reverberation time is caused by where the sound receiver is. If it is close to a wall, the sound receiver will be exposed to numerous reflections of sound waves, causing the room to become reverberant. Compared to other lecture rooms, the length of BKN 5 and BPU 5 is shorter. Their lengths are 11.639 m and 11.689 m, so the sound receiver is closer to the wall and makes the reverberation time higher. BKN 5 room, which has a volume of 258.3 m3, had the highest reverberation time (1.2 s on average in a room with chairs). This is because it is larger than the other rooms. So, the reverberation times get longer as the room's volume increases. BPU 5 room had the longest reverberation time for a condition room without chairs (an average of 2.4 s), but it also had the smallest space volume (242.4 m3) compared to the other rooms. Thus, it takes longer for the sound waves in the room to fade away when there are no chairs there. If the smaller room didn't have enough sound-absorbing materials, the reverberation times would be longer.","PeriodicalId":36749,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Engineering Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139314403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes an adaptive Kalman filter with the adaptive noise variance for velocity estimation without using kinematic model. By applying only the quantized position measurement signal generated from the optical incremental encoder, an adaptive process noise variance is proposed.

As daily life is more intertwined with the digital world, false news becomes a more urgent concern because of the way it can shape public opinion. This study presents a rumor propagation model, which was based on epidemiological models, to address the spread of false news on social networking sites. The existing model was expanded on the STELLA software to consider the cognitive process of users when encountering false news, the platform in which the false news spreads, and the relationship of false news with online users. Simulations showed that Confirmation Bias, Sharing of Posts, and Algorithmic Ranking were the three critical variables of the model.
