It is now possible to construct structures out of concrete because this durable compound that consists of water, aggregate, and Portland cement not only gives us many scopes of design but also has a very high compressive strength at a low cost. This paper deals with alternative materials for the most common construction material, cement-based concrete and polymer concrete (PC), containing waste tin fibres. The study covers the fabrication of polymer concrete and the execution of three tests: compressive strength, flexural tensile, and splitting tensile. Tests were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of the PC, and the results were analysed and evaluated on several PC specimens with different ratios of waste tin fibre. The results showed that using waste tin as fibre reinforcement in PC would substantially enhance the overall mechanical performance. Specifically, the optimum amount of waste tin as reinforcement in PC was 0.16% for compressive and splitting tensile strengths, while 0.20% was the optimum fibre loading for the flexural tensile strength. In this case, a positive outcome was found at a constant resin-to-filler ratio of 40:60 by volume and a matrix-to-aggregate ratio of 1:1.35 by weight.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139241353","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}

For instance, a great challenge exists in constructing cost functions in gaming theory. Nevertheless, soft set theory handles all its drawbacks conveniently through a new tool for the choice function mathematically. In this paper, we propose an algorithm (SSPRDM) for parameter reduction of soft sets through discernibility matrices, and it is implemented in detecting the risk factor of heart disease problems by using six types of machine learning techniques. The parameters are extracted from the heart disease patient data by the SSPRDM algorithm, and then six machine learning techniques (LDA, KNN, SVM, CART, NB, RF) are performed in the prediction of risk factors for heart disease. The experimental results showed that the present hybrid approach provides an accuracy of 88.46% in the Random Forest technique, whereas the same Random Forest classifier provides an accuracy of 69.23% in the prediction of risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) diagnosis in the earlier work which is a drastic improvement. Moreover, out of 18 parameter reductions, the core component is identified as Total Cholesterol, which is to be considered in all types of CVD diagnosis, whereas Sugar-Fasting (C), Total-Cholesterol (G), and HDL-Cholesterol (I) are the core components identified in three parameter reductions ABCEGHI, ACFGIJ, and BCFGIJK.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139241034","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 carbon, hydrogen, and sulphur content of coal make it a viable option for electricity generation. However, the by-products from leaching, volatilisation, melting, decomposition, oxidation, hydration, and other chemical reactions significantly negatively impact the environment and human health. This study aims to quantify the emissions from a coal-fired power plant, investigate the interplay between different emissions, simulate the dispersion of emissions, and assess their health impact through a health risk assessment. The results indicate that SO2 is the primary contributor to emissions and its impact on human health is a concern. The health effects, both chronic and acute, are more pronounced in children than in adults. This study combines real-time emissions data and simulations to assess emissions’ health impact, raising awareness about the emissions from coal-fired power plants. Furthermore, the findings can potentially enhance working conditions for employees and promote environmental health.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139242343","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}

It led to the development of a new computing concept known as Cloud Computing, allowing users to share resources such as networks, servers, storage, applications, services, software, and data across multiple devices on demand for economical and fast. Load balancing is an important branch of cloud computing as it optimizes machine utilization by distributing tasks equally over resources. It occurs among physical hosts or Virtual Machines in a cloud environment. Round robin is a commonly used algorithm in load balancing. RR gives a time quantum for each task and is in circular order. It is noted that it suffers from many problems, such as the waste of time and the high cost. In the present study, the greedy algorithm was enhanced and implemented to allocate and schedule tasks that come to the cloud on Virtual Machines in balance. The task with the longest execution time is given to the virtual machine with the least load using an improved greedy algorithm. The outcomes demonstrate that the suggested algorithm outperformed round robin in makespan. Also, all Virtual Machines in the proposed algorithm finish their work simultaneously, whereas round robin is unbalanced.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139242278","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}

However, cyanide accumulation has been a problem due to its toxicity in animal feed; therefore, finding the best variety with low cyanide, high protein, and phytochemical content can address this issue. The hydrocyanic (HCN) contents were analyzed for two local varieties, White and Pulut cassava, distinguished from leaf shapes and the color of the leaf petioles. Young leaves were identified from the plant’s top leaves, while matured leaves were defined from the plant’s bottom leaves. Two-way ANOVA was conducted to determine the interaction between the maturity and variety of cassava leaves for the cyanide and protein concentrations with Tukey’s multiple ranges to observe the significant difference at p < 0.05. The findings indicated significant differences in the HCN content of cassava leaves between different maturities, while other varieties significantly affected protein concentration. The maturity and variety of cassava leaves showed significant interactions with the HCN content. The young Pulut variety had the highest protein concentration and low HCN content. Thus, it is the best option as an animal feed by reducing its HCN content and maintaining its total phenolic (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). The results imply that variety, as well as maturity, have significant effects on the protein and cyanide concentration of cassava leaves.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135585288","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}

Movie reviews not only help viewers and potential viewers to obtain a general opinion about a movie but also allow the fans to construct an opinion of the movie. In this work, an analysis of over 60,000 movie reviews has been implemented to find meaningful text representation via text embedding. We improved the text embedding by proposing an attention-based Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) network by using over 60,000 movie review text data as the training set and over 20,000 movie review text data as the testing set. Based on the data features, we performed a probabilistic analysis of the information related to words and phrases, combined the analysis results with text embedding, spatialized the text embedding, and compared the performance of the proposed attention-based spatialized word embedding Bi-LSTM model with several traditional machine learning models. The attention-based spatialized word embedding Bi-LSTM model proposed in this paper achieves an F1 score of 0.91 on the movie review sentiment classification dataset, with a prediction accuracy of 91%, outperforming the results of the current state-of-the-art research. The model can effectively identify the sentimental tendencies of movie reviews and use the analyzed sentimental tendencies to guide consumers in their consumption and obtain feedback on movie content.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135585713","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}

Bacterial communities were assessed by metagenomics of the 16S rRNA gene from lake water input, central wetlands, and primary lake area. Water samples (n=18) were collected during two different periods: post-high rainfall events (samples collected in May) and dry periods (July). The data revealed that bacterial communities of the three sites were taxonomically distinct and associated with different environmental parameters. However, no significant differences were found between the wet and dry periods. Alpha diversity analyses revealed the highest index in May 2018 in the constructed wetlands (H’= 5.397) than those from water input or primary lake (p<0.05). Overall, 49 phyla, 147 classes, 284 orders, 471 families, 778 genera and 62 species of bacteria were identified. Verrumicrobia and Firmicutes showed a strong positive correlation with ammonia-nitrogen (r = 0.709). Actinobacteria and Cyanobacteria had a moderate positive correlation with nitrate with r value (r = 0.673) and (r = 0.647), respectively. In this study, the metagenomics of the 16S rRNA gene amplicon by Illumina MiSeq has successfully identified the bacterial community assemblage in Putrajaya Lake and wetlands. Bacterial composition was associated with the availability of physicochemical properties of specific sites. The effectiveness of the engineered wetlands of Putrajaya in bioremediation was demonstrated by the marked decrease in certain nutrient concentrations from lake water input to the primary lake area.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135585714","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}

There are various hash functions, including Message-Digest 5 (MD5), RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest 160 (RIPEMD-160), Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1), and Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256), among others. The network layer is the third of seven layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) concept, also known as the Internet. It handles network addressing and physical data routing. Nowadays, enhanced internet security is necessary to safeguard networks from illegal surveillance. As a result, Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) introduces secure communication across the Internet by encrypting and/or authenticating network traffic at the IP level. IPsec is an internet-based security protocol. Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and Authentication Header (AH) protocols are separated into two protocols. The MAC value is stored in the authentication data files of the Authentication Header and Encapsulating Security Payload. This article analyses a fast implementation of the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC), which uses its algorithm to ensure the validity and integrity of data to optimise hardware efficiency and design efficacy using the SHA-256 algorithm. During data transfer, HMAC is critical for message authentication. It was successfully developed using Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) code with the implementation of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device using the Altera Quartus II Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tool to enhance the maximum frequency of the design. The accuracy of the HMAC design, which is based on the SHA-256 design, was examined and confirmed using ModelSim. The results indicate that the maximum frequency of the HMAC-SHA-256 design is approximately 195.16 MHz.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135585710","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}

Three existing triple-storey residential buildings with different forms, i.e., rectangular, L-shape, and U-shape, are taken as case studies. Models with similar construction and dimensions of the buildings under investigation are designed using the OpenStudio plugin SketchUp software. Two rooms within these buildings have been considered for simulation with the aid of the EnergyPlus simulator for two cases: the basic case with no ventilation and the case with ventilation. The thermal parameters, including the air temperature, relative humidity, air speed, and mean radiant temperature of both rooms, have been extracted from the simulation. The thermal performance of these buildings is analyzed based on the indoor air temperature and mean radiant temperature, while the thermal performance is investigated via the ASHRAE-55 adaptive model. The results show that the rectangular-shaped building has the best thermal performance in unventilated conditions for the middle room on the middle floor (Room 1). In contrast, the U-shape shows better results for the west-northern room on the same floor (Room 2). On the other hand, introducing natural ventilation to the buildings reduces the indoor temperature and, subsequently, enhances the thermal performance where the buildings transform to be within the comfort zone most of the time, according to the ASHRAE-55 adaptive model. Generally, rectangular and U-shaped buildings show comparable thermal performance, while L-shaped buildings have relatively the worst performance.","PeriodicalId":46234,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135585501","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}
