    The research work, described in this thesis, has been carried out at the Metrology Research Institute of Helsinki University of Technology between 2000 and 2005. The research focused on the development of new detectors, calibration methods and their applications in optical radiometry. A new photodetector, which is based on three GaAsP Schottky-barrier photodiodes, has been introduced. The spectral properties of the GaAsP trap detector have been studied in the wavelength range between 200 nm and 600 nm. Spectral reflectance of a single windowless GaAsP photodiode, measured with high-accuracy gonioreflectometer, has been presented. Based on these measurements, the internal quantum efficiencies for both the single photodiode and the trap detector have been calculated. A novel scanning method for characterization of filter radiometers, which uses a wavelength tuneable Ti:Sapphire laser source, has been described. High accuracy calibration of filter radiometers at 900 nm has been conducted. The results have been compared to the spectral irradiance responsivities measured with the more conventional monochromator-based method. Both the laser-based method and the monochromator-based method have been used for characterization of the detectors for radiometric measurements of the thermodynamic temperatures of several blackbodies in irradiance mode. Four filter radiometers with central wavelengths between 600 nm and 900 nm have been used. The measured temperatures include the freezing temperature of silver and copper, which are defined by the International Temperature Scale of 1990.reviewe

    A comparative leaf micromorphological study of Melastoma malabathricum, M. malabathricum var. alba and M. sanguineum (Melastomataceae) was carried out by scanning electron microscope. Characters such as epidermal cell shape, trichomes and stomatal type and distribution were observed. Non-glandular trichomes are present in all species examined. The stomata are all of paracytic type and dispersed randomly over the whole abaxial surface. The patterns of surface sculpturing and outer stomatal rim are unique in all the species examined. Leaf micromorphology has significant taxonomic value in the genus Melastoma and the present study has added some new taxonomic information for the genus Melastoma

    The background of this research is based on the phenomenon that learning grammar is seen as one of the language item that is difficult to learn because of its intricacy. This research is aimed to find the answer to the following research questions. 1. How effective is English songs as medium to teach simple past? 2. How are the students’ simple past achievements in experimental and control groups before and after the treatment? The study was to find out whether or not English song medium is more effective to improve the students’ understanding on English simple past than non English song. This study employed the true experimental design where senior high school MAN 2 Pekalongan was selected as the research setting. Of the ten sections of grade XI, two classes were selected randomly by the process of simple random sampling. One class was assigned as the experimental group, in this case was class XI.A2 and the other that was class XI.A4 as the control group. The methods of data elicitation used here were test and observation. The data were obtained by employing the relevant pre test and post test, and observation. In this study the obtained data were analyzed. The test of significance of the difference between two groups was measured by two ways ANOVAs. The research result shown that the significance was seen at 0.05 level of significance as the criterion for the rejection of null hypothesis. By the 3 and 134 degrees of freedom, the critical value for the 0.05 level of significance of F table was 2.68. Meanwhile the result of pretest experimental class (57.50) higher than the pretest of control class. The result of posttest experimental (85.83) higher than the pretest of experimental class. The pretest of control class (56.06) lower than posttest control (78.48). Score posttest of experimental class (85.83) higher than score posttest of control class. It concluded that the use of English songs as teaching medium is effective way to teach simple past. It showed from the students’ achievement of experimental class higher than students’ achievement of control class. The observation was administered to know the students’ understanding during the experiment. Then, the result of the observation was interpreted. The main finding of the study were; the experimental and control group were equivalent at the beginning of the experiment and the teaching and learning of English grammar through English song media played positive role in improving the students’ academic understanding

    This case study is focused on teaching descriptive texts by using realia. The writer took the 8th grade students of SMPLB Negeri Ungaran as the subjects of the study. The aim of this research is to know the implementation of teaching descriptive texts that cover parts, qualities, and characteristics of the objects. This study was carried out around four meetings. In each meeting, the researcher observed the situation of the class and the setudents’ activities in that classroom. The data collection method used in the research was observation, interview, and documentation. In implementating the research, the researcher found several problems and difficulties in teaching learning processes. One of them is that, the teaching physically disabled students are not easy. It has to be slowly because the students’ ability in writing the lesson is limited. The other problem comes from the teacher him/herself that never uses media or tools to teach physically disabled students. It is a matter of fact that teaching physically  disabled students needs media to make them easily understand the learning materials. One of the media that could be used is realia. From this research it is expected that the problems could be solved and a new paradigm in teaching descriptive texts for disabled students could be considered.Keywords : Descriptive Texts; Physically Disabled Students; Reali

    THE GENUS MIMOSA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TOM. QUADRIVALVIS L. VAR. LEPTOCARPA (D.C.) EARNEDY, A NEW SPECIES RECORD FOR THE WEED FLORA IN MALAYSIA*)

    Get PDF
    An exploratory floristic survey of the genus Mimosa was conducted in 1993 to ascertain species diversity and their spatial patterns of distribution in Peninsular Malaysia. A new species record of uncertain indigene, M.. quadrivalvis was recorded for the first time in restricted localities along the roadsides in Pekan Darat and Bertam, Seberang Perai, Gurun and Bedong in Kedah in addition to widely distributed and seemingly ubiquitous presence of M. invisa Mart. ex. Colla and M. pudica L. The latter two species were mostly found in open, disturbed and derelict habitats, agricultural areas and ex-mining lands. Both species exhibited largely contagious and overdispersed distribution patterns with positive peaks in pattern intensity values although regularity or underdispersed distribution patterns do manifest in certain localities. The giant mimosa, M. pigra inhabited in clustered thickets, large pockets of lands in the urban and sub-urban localities in the states of Penang, Perak, Kelantan, Kuala Lumpur and Negeri Sembilan. In other states, M. pigra was confined to a few localities in smaller patches. Except for M. quadrivalvis, the other species of Mimosa are serious weeds in the agricultural, recreational and residential and derelict areas. A key to the Mimosa species is constructed along with brief descriptions on their morphology and ecology.
