  • The level of reliability attained largely depends upon the investment in reliability growth programs during development phase. In order to find the relationship between reliability growth test time and BRTE(basic reliability tasks effectiveness) in a reliability improvement program that minimizes LCC in which contains the reliability growth cost, repair and replacement costs, and spare parts ordering costs in service with given service rate in management policy, the growth rate has been suggested proper LCC versus growth rate. This model employs the reliability growth projection with delayed fixes in avionic equipment based on AMSAA.

  • User-friendly software was developed to determine the shelf-life of perishable Korean seasoned side dishes in real time based on growth models of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. In the program algorithm, the primary spoilage and fastest-growing pathogenic organisms are selected according to the product characteristics, and their growth is simulated based on the previously monitored or recorded temperature history. To predict the growth of spoilage organisms with confidence limits, kinetic models for aerobic bacteria or molds/yeasts from published works are used. Growth models of pathogenic bacteria were obtained from the literature or derived with regression of their growth rate data estimated from established software packages. These models are also used to check whether the risk of pathogenic bacterial growth exceeds that of food spoilage organisms. Many example simulations showed that the shelf-lives of the examined foods are predominantly limited by the growth of spoilage organism rather than by pathogenic bacterial growth.

  • This project was conducted to measure actual temperature, relative humidity (RH), and light intensity at different apartment floors and to suggest suitable indoor plants by investigating morphological changes of Treophelosparmum asiatioum and Fittonia verchaffeltii var. argyroneura as affected by light intensity. Temperature and RH in apartment verandas were measured in three different (2nd, 9th, and 16th) floors on three different buildings for 30 days seasonally. The light intensity, temperature, and RH were recorded outside (parking area) and inside apartment verandas for 24 hours on a selected sunny summer day (between Aug. 19 and Sept. 14, 2008). Based on the first study, we investigated effect of simulated light intensity (40, 70, 100, and $600{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) on changes in growth and development of T. asiatioum and F. verchaffeltii var. argyroneurain growth chambers. However, daily mean light intensity of 2nd, 9th, and 16th floors was different each other as it was about 40, 70, and $100{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, respectively. In the growth chamber experiment, plant height, internode length, and leaf length and width were not affected significantly by light intensity, but changes in leaf color were apparent in the new leaves with the increasing light intensity. The results suggest that T. asiatioum could be best fit to high, and F. verchaffeltii var. argyroneura to lower floor verandas, considering their aesthetic values.

  • The growth and health of the fetus and neonate are directly influenced by the nutritional and physiological status of sows. Sows are often under catabolic conditions due to restrict feeding program during pregnancy and low voluntary feed intake during lactation. The current restrict feeding program, which aims at controlling energy intake during gestation, results in an inadequate supply of dietary protein for fetal and mammary gland growth. Low voluntary feed intake during lactation also causes massive maternal tissue mobilization. Provision of amino acids and fatty acids with specific functions may enhance the performance of pregnant and lactating sows by modulating key metabolic pathways. These nutrients include arginine, branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, tryptophan, proline, conjugated linoleic acids, docosahexaenoic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acid, which can enhance conception rates, embryogenesis, blood flow, antioxidant activity, appetite, translation initiation for protein synthesis, immune cell proliferation, and intestinal development. The outcome is to improve sow reproductive performance as well as fetal and neonatal growth and health. Dietary supplementation with functional amino acids and fatty acids holds great promise in optimizing nutrition, health, and production performance of sows and piglets.

  • Purpose: This study was done to investigate factors influencing successful aging in middle-aged women. Methods: A convenience sample of 103 middle-aged women was selected from the community. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, two-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis test, Pearson correlations, Spearman correlations and multiple regression analysis with the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Results: Results of regression analysis showed that significant factors influencing successful aging were post-traumatic growth and social support. This regression model explained 48% of the variance in successful aging. Conclusion: Findings show that the concept 'post-traumatic growth' is an important factor influencing successful aging in middle-aged women. In addition, social support from friends/co-workers had greater influence on successful aging than social support from family. Thus, we need to consider the positive impact of post-traumatic growth and increase the chances of social participation in a successful aging program for middle-aged women.

  • This research aims to investigate the application of Keynes's theory in Indonesia, particularly in solving unemployment and poverty problems through government spending, economic growth, and human resource capacity. The basic concepts of the Keynesian theory were used as a method, through which government spending was harnessed toward economic growth in reducing unemployment and poverty rate. The analytical materials used were panel data for the 2017-2021 period in Central Java, Indonesia. The analytical methodology used was a multiple regression experimental design in selecting the best model according to Keynes's theory, especially for overcoming formidable problems. The main results showed that large Government spending program is ineffective in encouraging pro-growth, pro-job, pro-poor, and pro-equity development policy strategies. The causes of this failure include the violation of Keynes' assumptions about rationality and the low quality of education investment, which do not encourage productive and innovative entrepreneurship, as well as self-employment opportunities. As a result, government spending, including subsidies and direct financial assistance, used to implement the macroeconomic monetary, unstructured, and fiscal policy system is insufficient to significantly reduce the enormous difficulties. The main research results confirm that human capital capacity is the key to mitigating and reducing unemployment and poverty.

  • The success of 3M's worldwide Pollution Prevention Pays (3P) Program convinced 3M's top management that the program should be expanded into a comprehensive environmental management system called 3P Plus. The emphasize of the 3P Plus program is to continually minimize the environmental impact of 3M processes, products, and operations to include energy management, resource recovery, and other initiatives. 3M's experience with the 3P and 3P Plus programs will be described. 3M's experience can serve as a model for other multi-national companies interested in sustainable development and economic growth with environmental protection.
