PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN BU EMI TERHADAP PRESTASI MENULIS CERKAK SISWA KELAS IX DI SMP NEGERI 1 BAURENO KABUPATEN BOJONEGORO
No full textWe know that writing skills in literature learning are skills that cannot be considered easy. Because this skill will certainly require a person's ability to be able to express ideas, ideas, thoughts and feelings so that they can become a work of art. Even other people can understand and feel the benefits of the work. So the learning outcomes that have been achieved by a school, whether high or low or good or bad, will really depend on the learning process. In particular, what learning experiences have been experienced and learned by the student. Because after all, experience is the best teacher. The author, as a Javanese language teacher, is fully aware that there are many students and students with different characteristics. Characteristics, abilities, knowledge, understanding, and so on in an effort to practice the material presented are certainly different. The aim of this research is to find out whether the BU EMI Model can improve the Cerkak writing achievement of class IX students at SMP Negeri 1 Baureno, Bojonegoro Regency. In this way, the Javanese language teaching and learning process is more effective and provides optimal results for students. Data resulting from the practical application of learning innovation at the first meeting, students seemed reluctant to write personal experiences into a Cerkak. Most likely this is because students generally feel they are not used to writing Cerkak and therefore find it difficult. That kind of thinking needs to be dismissed by using innovative learning models. Then the author tried to use the BU EMI Model. It turned out that class IX students became more enthusiastic. This can certainly increase students' grades in learning Cerkak Writing. In the end, this can also improve student achievement in learning Cerkak Writing. Cerkak is difficult. Such thinking needs to be pushed aside by using innovative models. Then the author uses this EMI BU Model. It turned out that class IX students became more enthusiastic. This certainly can increase student scores in Writing Cerkak. In the end it can also increase student achievement in learning Cerkak Writing
AI Writing Assistants: Insights from EMI Higher Education
No full textOne of the requirement of study in an EMI university is the ability to express ideas through academic writing tasks or projects. This explanatory study aims to investigate EMI university students' strategies of using artificial intelligence-based writing assistants for college writing tasks. This mixed-method study combined survey-based instrument and interviews. The survey was distributed online, consisting of 10 likert scale statements, with 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree and 5 close-ended questions. This likert-scale statements seek to map students’ use of AI-based writing assistants in stages of writing process while the close-ended questions seek to explain their perceptions of using AI writing assistants. This questionnaire was followed by interviews to several participants, purposively selected based on their responses in the questionnaire. The survey was distributed to 101 university students from 17 study programs at one university that implements EMI. The results revealed that AI tools support EMI students throughout the whole stages of writing processes, but mainly in pre-writing, drafting, and editing stages. Furthermore, students’ positive views over the support and concerns over significant reliance on the use of AI writing assistants are also discussed. Further research could investigate the long-term effects of using these tools on students' academic writing skills and academic performance
A High-Linearity and Low-EMI Multilevel Class-D Amplifier
No full textThis article presents a Class-D audio amplifier for automotive applications. Low electromagnetic interference (EMI) and, hence, smaller LC filter size are obtained by employing a fully differential multilevel output stage switching at 4.2 MHz. A modulation scheme with minimal switching activity at zero input reduces idle power, which is further assisted by a gate-charge reuse scheme. It also achieves high linearity due to the high loop gain realized by a third-order feedback loop with a bandwidth of 800 kHz. The prototype, fabricated in a 180-nm high-voltage BCD process, achieves a minimum THD+N of -107.8 dB/-102 dB and a peak efficiency of 91%/87% with 8- and 4-Ω loads, respectively, while drawing 7-mA quiescent current from a 14.4-V supply. The prototype meets the CISPR 25 Class 5 EMI standard with a 5.7-dB margin using an LC filter with a cutoff frequency of 580 kHz.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic InstrumentationElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceMicroelectronic

Conducted EMI in Inverters with SiC Transistors
No full textConducted EMI in Inverters with SiC Transistors Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is the main side effect accompanied with the fast voltage and current switching transients in power electronics applications. Compliance of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard is prescribed for any power electronics product before entering the market. In recent years, the new emerged wide band-gap transistor technology Silicon Carbide (SiC) exhibits great potential to replace Silicon (Si) as the dominant transistor because of its superior qualities (e.g. faster switching, higher blocking voltage and higher operating temperature). However, these advances come at the cost of increased EMI resulting from the SiC transistor’s faster switching speed and higher switching frequencies. In the past, a large variety of EMI suppression approaches have been developed for motor drive systems. However, most of them serve the conventional Si power devices (e.g. IGBT) based motor drive systems. As the result, exploration of corresponding EMI emission mechanism and new suppression approaches is critical. The desired EMC investigations should cover the following features of the SiC power devices based drive systems. \u95 The differences with the Si power devices based motor drive systems and the causes of the differences. \u95 The common EMC analysis and reduction techniques that can be used for both SiC and Si devices based motor drive systems. \u95 The approaches that improve the EMC performance for SiC devices based motor drive systems. In this thesis, with conventional Si IGBTs as the reference, systematic investigations are presented on variable speed drive systems using the latest SiC JFET as the power devices. Main achievements of this thesis are summarized as follows. System equivalent circuit modeling method for EMC performance evaluation This modeling method is used for evaluating the noise suppressing performance on varies noise propagation paths of the drive system. Additionally, by introducing the actual noise source emission instead of using idealized noise source (e.g pure square waveforms) emission, improved noise level prediction is achieved. The method is based on curve-fitting of the impedance-frequency characteristics measured on the leads of individual components and between different portions of the system. Various sub-circuits of the system are modeled as RCL composed equivalent circuits in order to represent details within the conducted frequency range. The model development procedure is presented in Chapter 3. Current transfer ratio measurements are used to verify the model. In addition, the model is also applied in Chapter 5 and 6. Chapter 5 utilizes the model to predict the noise emission levels of the SiC JFETs and Si IGBTs based motor drives respectively. Chapter 6 utilizes the model to predict the filter insertion losses. This method is applicable for both SiC and Si based motor drive systems. Characterization and cancellation of EMI filter parasitics to improve high frequency filtering performance This study explores the parasitics cancellation techniques for EMI filters with three-dimensional spatial layout that utilizes multi-layer PCB technology and employs surface mount technology (SMT) components. The employed SMT components are named x-dimensional (x-dim) components that have the same height (x=14mm) and double sided SMT electrical terminations. In addition to positioning the employed x-dimensional SMT components in the 2D plane, the components are able to be placed in a third dimension by being stacked onto more PCB layers. This extends the conventional parasitic cancellation techniques to three dimensions. Chapter 4 discusses and implements the 3D cancellation techniques in a LC filter for motor drives. The techniques enhance the filter performance especially in the high frequency range, which is critical to handle the increased EMI due to SiC fast switching speed. Comparison and identification of noise emission difference between Si IGBTs and SiC JFETs based motor drives This study compares and identifies the causes of the EMI noise emission differences between Si IGBT and SiC JFET based motor drives. In Chapter 5, two inverter prototypes – with Si IGBTs and SiC JFETs as the power transistors respectively are compared under the same power level and using the same layout. The gate drivers are designed to fully exploit the switching speed for the two types of devices at turn-on transition and to provide the same driving condition at turn-off transition. Their switching waveforms are compared under the inductive switching test condition, using one inverter leg consisting of two switches. The caused EMI level differences are clarified by Fourier analysis transformed from the time-domain measurements. In the system level, their EMI noise levels are compared under unfiltered, C filtered and LC filtered conditions. In order to identify the causes of the noise level differences, the two inverters are operated in the CM testing mode, in which the three top and bottom semiconductors are switched on or off simultaneously at a fixed 50% duty ratio. Hence the maximized CM and DM wave shapes are achieved. Improve EMI filter to accommodate SiC JFETs in motor drives In the second part of Chapter 5, the EMI filter design for SiC JFET motor drive system is improved based on the presence of different noise emissions from the Si IGBT and SiC JFET source. An equivalent circuit model is delivered to predict the noise spectrum emitted from the SiC source and stands as the basis for improving the EMI filter design. The proposed EMI method effectively suppress the increased high frequency noise resulted from the SiC faster switching dv/dts and di/dts. The modeled results agree well with the experiments. Suppression at SiC noise source due to substrate capacitive coupling Two methods to suppress the noise emission due to capacitive coupling are proposed in Chapter 6. One is to use separated substrate, the other one is to use the broadband modeling. Comparing two inverters that use the conventional heat sink and insulated metal substrate (IMS), the emitted noise levels are significantly different due to the different capacitive coupling magnitude. The first part of the Chapter proposes to use separated substrates. The second part presents a broadband modeling procedure to identify the most effective filter design to suppress the capacitive coupling. Both methods effectively suppress the noise emission to comply with the IEC61800-3-C2 standard. How EMI emission is affected by the capacitive coupling is identified.Electrical Power ProcessingElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

THE EVALUATION OF MULTIMODAL AND INTERACTIVE TEACHING PRACTICES IN ENGLISH AS A MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION (EMI) CLASSES: IMPACT ON THE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT AT UNIVERSITAS PGRI MADIUN
No full textThe study aims to explore and evaluate: (1) the content lecturers’ plan in teaching
EMI; (2) the implementation of EMI including language use, multimodal
integration, and classroom interaction; (3) the content lecturers’ assessment; (4) the
evaluation of EMI practices encompassing content lecturers and students’
perception, challenges, and students learning achievement. The study is an
evaluative case study, and the data were gathered through classroom observation,
questionnaires, focus group discussion, interviews, and document review. The
thematic analysis was used to identify, analyze, and report the data pattern. The
participants of this study were six content content lecturers and 154 students who
participated in international classes in Biology Education, Primary Education,
Accounting, Information Systems, and Law. The result reveals that EMI has shown
positive effects on supporting internationalization and as an effort to achieve the
Key Performance Indicator of the University; however, it needs consideration and
preparation for achieving learning outcomes and student comprehension.
Multimodality was used in EMI classes in learning, teaching, and assessment.
Descriptive statistics indicate strong agreement that the use of multimodal helps
students to join the classroom and engage students; however, if the content lecturers
use multimodal with limited interaction, it will disengage students. In addition, the
use of multimodal and interactive teaching did not influence students' learning
achievement but impacted their engagement. The study emphasizes how urgently
EMI teaching and learning regulation and preparation also consider students'
learning outcomes and achievements. This research provides valuable insights into
the strengths and limitations of EMI with multimodal and interactive teaching,
offering a nuanced understanding of how to enhance effectiveness in diverse
disciplinary contexts. Studying EMI across these disciplines captures a broader
understanding of how EMI and multimodal teaching function in different academic
contexts, highlighting specific challenges and best practices tailored to each field
Systematic Design of EMI-Resilient Negative-Feedback Amplifiers
No full textThe information transfer capacity of negative-feedback amplifiers, and electronic circuits in general, is limited by three fundamental limitations being noise, bandwidth, and signal power. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is not a fundamental limitation, but it also hampers the information transfer. EMI may have such detrimental effects that malfunctioning of the electronic circuit occurs. This may result in loss of information, or worse, possibly dangerous situations. That is a reason why susceptibility to EMI is regulated by law. The ratio of the intended signal and the errors, the Signal-to-Error ratio (SER) can be regarded as a figure of merit of the signal handling performance of an amplifier for a given input signal and electromagnetic environment. EMI from out-of-band signals, i.e., signals with a frequency (much) higher than the bandwidth of the amplifier, may result in a DC shift and detection of the, in-band, low frequency envelope variations (envelope or `AM' detection) of the high frequency interference, caused by even-order nonlinearities in the active devices used. Specifically envelope detection may severely hamper the SER, since this will often be a signal in the pass band, while DC-shifts may not be in the pass band. This work focuses on reducing the errors introduced by the fundamental limitations and EMI in negative-feedback amplifiers. A systematic design approach for application specific negative-feedback amplifiers with specified SER is proposed in this work. It enables the designer to calculate noise, bandwidth, EMI, and the required bias parameters of the transistors used in application specific amplifiers in order to meet the SER requirements.micro-electronicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
The invisible artist: Arrangers in popular music (1950-2000): Their contribution and techniques
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University.This thesis is based on the research conducted by the author for the series,
Richard Niles' History of Pop Arranging, seven thirty-minute documentary
programmes for BBC Radio 2, researched, written and presented by the author and
broadcast in 2003. It also draws on interviews conducted by the author (and other
research) between 2002 and 2007 both for the radio series and for this thesis and on
the author's experience as a professional arranger in popular music working with
many of the genre's significant recording artists including Paul McCartney, Ray
Charles, Cher, Tina Turner, Westlife, Tears For Fears, Dusty Springfield, James
Brown, Pet Shop Boys, Kylie Minogue and producers including Trevor Hom, Steve
Lipson, Steve Mac and Steve Anderson.
It will be argued that the role of the arranger in popular music has often been
undervalued and that during a critical period of popular music history (1950-2000)
arrangers played a significant part in the evolution of musical content. This thesis is,
to the best of the author's knowledge, the first time (apart from the above mentioned
documentary) the subject has ever been examined. The arranger is "invisible" because musical arrangers are often un-credited on
record liner notes or in books or articles concerning popular music. A considerable
amount of research has been necessary to determine who wrote many of the
arrangements considered herein. Motown's Berry Gordy purposely kept the names of
musicians and arrangers off the records because he feared others might 'poach' the
trademark 'Motown Sound'. Other record labels considered the job of the arranger to
be reminiscent of an earlier era, diluting the Rock 'n' Roll image of emotion and
spontanaeity they wished to promote. Some producers and recording artists disliked
sharing credit for their work. Motown arranger David Van dePitte told the author that
arranging was "thankless and anonymous - a very service-oriented profession where
others often take credit for what you've done." Arranging has therefore remained an
intrinsically unseen art created by 'invisible' artists. By analyzing many recordings,
revealing the techniques and concepts they have used in their work to create popular
records, arrangers and their art will be made more 'visible'
