An investigation into the moisture content of the walls of a straw-bale building
No full textThis paper examines the use and accuracy of a moisture probe used in the walls of a straw-bale building. The performance of the moisture probe is assessed against laboratory-based measurements. The measurements from a number of moisture probes placed in the walls of a case study straw-bale building over a 2-year period are presented. The moisture content measurements from the building are discussed in the light of laboratory findings and the condition of the straw in the lower part of the most exposed wall. Potential influences upon the readings obtained from the moisture probes along with possible alternative assessment methods are discussed

Quantifying and evaluating the risk posed to straw bale constructions from moisture
No full textThe level of moisture a construction is exposed to may have an adverse effect on health and structure. Using straw, an organic material, as the construction medium, introduces concerns about biodegradability and spore germination, highlighting the uncertainties surround the level at which straw is susceptible to decay. A physical model is presented in this thesis offering a method by which to quantify and evaluate the risk posed to straw bale constructions from moisture. The model, utilising the development of an innovative Risk Assessment System based on fuzzy logic, is supported by empirical research conducted in static and dynamic environments. The model relies upon the interpretation of data provided by monitoring devices, and an understanding as to the complexities of vapour transition through a straw bale and the interaction of moisture within. Using commonly descriptive terminology to describe the risk posed to the straw, the model, is capable of providing a greater understanding of straw bale construction and advising interested parties on potential weaknesses, taking into account: moisture, temperature, historic and predicted environmental conditions, limitations of analytical techniques, and the effect of direct sunlight. The concept of the model is to provide an early response mechanism to warn of the potential of adverse effects and thereby averting the need for destructive investigation and remedial action

Equalisation of Broadband MIMO Channels by Subband Adaptive Identification and Analytic Inversion
No full textThis paper introduces the subband method of performing adaptive identification and analytic inversion of broadband MIMO channels. It shows that the techniques can potentially lower the computational cost while improving the performance for highly frequency-selective channel with a long impulse response. It covers subband adaptive identification and shows two methods to invert a broadband MIMO channel, the time-domain and frequency-domain methods. Finally results are shown for adaptation MSE, channel-equaliser MSE and BER performance
Subband Adaptive Equaliser Tracking for Fractionally-Sampled Fading Broadband MIMO Channels
No full textThis paper demonstrates the performance of a subband adaptive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equaliser tracking the inverse of a Doppler-filtered Rayleigh-fading broadband channel. The subband adaptive equaliser is shown to outperform the fullband equivalent for channels with a high spectral dynamic range and long MMSE equaliser response in terms of tracking MSE and computational cost

PENGARUH LITERASI DIGITAL TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR MAHASISWA PENDIDIKAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN SOSIAL UNIVERSITAS BALE BANDUNG
No full textEra digital merupakan era dimana semakin pesatnya perkembangan dan persaingan teknologi di dunia, terutama pendidikan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) Bagaimana tingkat literasi digital mahasiswa pendidikan IPS Universitas Bale Bandung, (2) Bagaimana hasil belajar mahasiswa pendidikan IPS Universitas Bale Bandung, (3) Bagaimana pengaruh literasi digital terhadap hasil belajar mahasiswa pendidikan IPS Universitas Bale Bandung. Wujud Hasil Belajar merupakan perubahan perilaku yang terjadi setelah melalui proses belajar mengajar sesuai dengan tujuan pendidikan. Hasil belajar itu diukur untuk mengetahui pencapaian tujuan pendidikan sehingga hasil belajar harus sesuai dengan tujuan pendidikan.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penga ruh antara literasi digital dengan hasil belajar mahasiswa pendikan IPS Universitas Bale Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode likert. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa pendidikan IPS Universitas Bale Bandung dengan jumlah 96 mahasiswa dengan sample 49 mahasiswa. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan kuisioner. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah teknik analisis data desktiptif. Hasil dan simpulan dari penelitian ini menunjukan adanya pegaruh signifikansi literasi digital terhadap hasil belajar. Hasil pengujian hipotesis menggunakan uji t sebesar 0,088 diperoleh r hitung (0,088) > r tabel (0,05) yang artinya bhawa Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. Nilai koefisien determinasinya adalah 0,411 atau sama dengan 41,1% demikian dapat dinyatakan bahwa ada kolerasi atau pengaruh antara variabel dependent (hasil belajar) dengan independent (literasi digital) adalah sedang
