Analisa Kecepatan Pengelasan dan Kecepatan Putar Mata Pahat terhadap Konduktivitas Listrik Sambungan Aluminium dan Tembaga Hasil Friction Stir Welding (FSW)
Full text linkThe tool pin rotational speed and welding speed affect the electrical conductivity value of the Al-Cu connection. Al-Cu connection is a butt joint resulting from the friction stir welding (FSW) process. The material used is Al 6061 and pure copper. The friction stir welding (FSW) process uses a pin tool with a pin design that integrates with the pin tool and a three-degree angle. The purpose of this study was to determine the electrical conductivity value of the Al-Cu connection with the friction stir welding (FSW) process at the butt joint connection. The variables used in this study were pin tool rotation speeds of 800, 1000, and 1250 RPM and welding speeds of 10, 12.5, and 16 mm/min. Tests conducted in this study were macro structure testing, measurement of resistance values, and microhardness testing. Besides, an analysis of heat input and welding time is needed for each variable. The results of macro and XRD structure test results show that in the aluminum and copper connection, there are intermetallic compounds in the form of AlCu and Al2Cu. The results of the analysis state that the welding results with a welding speed of 12.5 mm/min are the most optimum variables. The welding process results in conductivity values ranging from 27.173 mΩ-1mm-2 and 28.09 mΩ-1mm-2. The presence of intermetallic compounds affects the conductivity value of the connection
The changes of serum prostate specific antigen level in advanced prostate cancer patients undergoing palliative transurethral prostate resection
Full text linkBackground: Total Prostate specific antigen (tPSA) is a substance secreted by the prostate gland. It levels vary depending on the condition of the prostate and typically increase in response to increased prostate volume, cancer, infection, urinary retention and others. Conversely, tPSA levels decrease following a reduction in prostate volume. Palliative transurethral resection of the prostate (pTURP) is a procedure performed to relieve urinary retention in patients with metastatic prostate cancer who are not candidates for, or do not consent to, definitive treatment.Objective: This study aims to compare tPSA levels before and after pTURP in patients with advanced prostate cancer.Method: Using retrospective cross-sectional studyutilized patient medical records and laboratory results to compare pre- and post-operative tPSA levels. Data were collected from the UGM Academic Hospital's medical record between 2019 and 2022. Inclusion criteria included patients with available pre-operativeand post-operative tPSA levels and anatomic pathology results. Tumor characteristics were classified as cT3-4 or cN+ with any PSA level and any ISUP grade. Patients presented with symptoms such as urinary obstruction, pelvic pain, and/or haematuria, and all diagnoses were confirmed via prostate biopsy. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.Results: A total of 40 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean average age was 72.45 years. The average resection time was 60.42 ± 5.41 minutes, and the mean resected tissue weight was 27.50 ± 8.06 grams. Complications occurred in 30% of patients within 90 days post-pTURP. A significant decrease in tPSA levels was observed after pTURP (p<0.05). Furthermore, the change in tPSA (delta tPSA) showed a linear and positive correlation with the weight of resected tissue.Conclusion: Palliative transurethral resection of the prostate in patients with advanced prostate cancer significantly reduces serum tPSA levels

Distributed Beamforming for Cognitive Radio Networks
No full textCognitive radio (CR) is an approach with high potentials in the effort of battling spectrum scarcity, introduced by J. Mitola in the late 90’s. It is capable of sensing the communication environment and adapting to it by changing its radio parameters. Beamforming technique allows the cognitive users to opportunistically access the licensed spectrum without interfering the licensed users by exploiting the spatial domain in the radio transmission. Distributed beamforming is a new concept to form communication beams by utilizing the distributed wireless nodes in order to transmit signals towards a distant destination. Applying distributed beamforming to the cognitive radio system gives the flexibility to the system, since the CR nodes are treated as virtual antenna arrays. CR also improves the lifespan of each node because the communication signal is generated in a distributed manner. This advantage of CR aligns with the principal of green communication which has the objective of less energy consumption. Power efficiency area is a particular field of interest in the cognitive radio domain, where cognitive nodes are small battery-powered devices, distributed randomly in an area. Optimal number of nodes selection is proposed in this thesis to optimize the power usage in the implementation of distributed beamforming in cognitive radio networks. The selection is based on the requirements of the primary licensed user in order to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) of the licensed user’s link. Recent works on the distributed beamforming field describe that the average beampattern shows a deterministic result and the mainlobe is independent of the particular node locations when the number of utilized nodes is considered as very large. However, for finite number of nodes, the beampattern does depend on the number of nodes and the way they are selected. In this thesis research, an approach is presented for deciding the number of nodes for distributed beamforming. Furthermore, several novel node selection algorithms such as Euclidean based, sector based, ring range, and circle range are proposed and their performances are studied in detail in this thesis work. In these entire schemes, the precise locations of distributed nodes of CR are needed. Further in this thesis, location errors of CR nodes and destination are taken into consideration. Its impact on the generated beampattern of the selected nodes is reported. The results show which of the proposed methods are more robust to the location information error of the CR nodes.IRCTRTelecommunicationsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
