Characteristic of Cement Mortar Containing Windscreen Glass Waste Powder
Get PDFCement is produce and manufactured on a large scale from the silicate industry and used mostly in building homes, industrial buildings and other structures. Cements are produce from raw naturally occurring materials and the production involved both mining and manufacturing components, and it is a major source of greenhouse gas emission. For sustainability, and to reduce the greenhouse gas emission cause by cement production, therefore it is highly time to look into the other possibility of replacing this cementitious material. This paper was conducted to effects of various proportions of Windscreen Glass Waste Powder (WGWP) on the compressive strength in mortar. The mortar was prepared by incorporating several compositions of WGWP (5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight of cement) and cement to sand (C:S) ratio of 1:3.0 were employed. Fixed water to cement (w/c) ratio of 0.5 was used for this study. The samples were water cured and the assessment of the strength performance of mortar cubes were carried out at 7, 28, 60, 90 and 120 days. Studies conducted have shown that WGWP has the good pozzolanic properties. In term of compressive strength, it was observed that the compressive strength increases with an increase in percentage of WGWP from 5% until 20% of replacement. The corresponding Strength Activity Index (SAI) with 20% WGWP were 85%, 78%, 80%, 81% and 85% at 7, 28, 60, 90 and 120 curing days respectively
The Potential of Waste Water Produced From Split Type Air Conditioner
Get PDFWater is important for people and ecosystems. Extensive use of water sometimes cause shortage of supply. Therefore various alternatives sought to overcome the shortage of water supply. Among the sources of water that has not extended its use of water resources resulting from the split type air conditioner. Condensation processes that occur in this type of air conditioning split units will produce water. Most of the water produced by the air conditioner of this type would normally discharged directly into the drain. This study focuses on the potential uses of the water produced. The focus is on the amount of water produced per unit, and compares with the total daily water use by domestic activities. Further water samples will be taken and tested for content in accordance with the parameters set by the water quality standard (WQI) of dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, suspended solids and pH value. The results obtained will be compared with water quality standards issued by the Department of Environment, Malaysia. Based on analysis done, the water produced from air conditioning can be categorized in class III which is suitable used in water supply, requiring intensive care. It also can used for fisheries, according to species that have economic value and can tolerate water quality. During observation, it found that the water produced can reach 300 liter and more at the study area

The Learning of Phrasal Verbs among Malaysian ESL Learners: A Sign-Oriented Approach
Get PDFPhrasal verbs have been identified as one of the most challenging linguistic items to be mastered by EFL and ESL learners. Previous studies in cognitive linguistics have illustrated that not only literal expression but each idiomatic expression of phrasal verbs is also analysable to certain extent, through its individual word analysis which contributes to the figurative meaning as a whole. This study aims to see if the exposure to the core meanings of the individual items that make up a phrasal verb (i.e. verb and particle) helps Malaysian learners to use phrasal verbs appropriately in English writings. There were two groups of students involved in this study. Each group (i.e., experimental and control) consisted of fifteen students. The experimental group was given semantic-based explicit (verbs and particles in phrasal verbs) instruction whereas the control group was engaged into traditional instruction by providing the meanings of the phrasal verbs extracted from the Oxford Phrasal Verbs Dictionary. Students were instructed to write an essay during pre-test and post-test to see the improvement on the taught phrasal verb items. These students were also tested on novel phrasal verb items (i.e. different combinations of verbs and particles) which were not taught, before and after treatment to see if the instruction yields significant results. The inferential analyses through paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test for the taught items indicate that although both groups performed significantly better in post-tests compared to pre-tests, the experimental group which received the semantic-based explicit (verbs and particles in phrasal verbs) instruction outperformed (significantly) the control group which received traditional instruction. This suggests that the explicit exposure to the invariant meaning (which comprises conceptual metaphor) of individual signs that makes up phrasal verbs helps learners to assimilate the meanings to interpret the messages conveyed by the phrasal verbs as a whole, in all contexts. The results of this study support the sign-oriented approach where each linguistic item is perceived as a sign which carries a vague (unchanged) meaning which motivates the distribution of messages in every context of its occurrences (i.e. a sign is extended metaphorically from concrete ‘spatial’ messages to the more abstract realm of ‘temporal’ to the even more abstract realm of ‘existential’ message)
