Abstract: |
This study proposes a method to enhance the recognition capability of nighttime driving vehicles by using a combination of optical and thermal imaging, along with the Yolo algorithm in AI deep learning. The proposed method is applied to the surveillance cameras at intersections at night to evaluate the traffic congestion of road sections. The Yolo algorithm is used to accurately identify the vehicles in the mixed images of optical and thermal imaging, thereby improving the recognition rate of nighttime driving vehicles. The proposed method can be used to effectively monitor the traffic situation at night and provide decision support for transportation management. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve high accuracy in vehicle recognition, making it a promising approach for nighttime driving safety and traffic management. |

Abstract: |
Asparagus is a food with many nutrients, commonly used in its processed form. This vegatable is a rich source of antioxidants including vitamin C, β-carotene and minerals like zinc, selenium, and manganese. Especially the Glutathione present in asparagus has a strong antioxidant effect. They participate in the body's reactions with a catalytic role, against the excess production of free radicals, against the process of cell death, inhibiting the aging process, and smoothing the skin. However, it is not widely used and well known. The objective of this paper was studying the production conditions of canned products from asparagus. This study could give more options for producers. Canning fruits and vegetables is one of the methods that can extend the shelf life. Asparagus products are obtained after performing the following steps: blanching temperature (90oC), blanching time (20 seconds), ratio (salt 3%, acetic acid 1.29% and sugar 9.71%), pasteurization time (15 minutes), sterilization temperature (850C). Canned Asparagus has a grayish-yellow color during storage. |

Abstract: |
Electricity will make the atmosphere of the area around your home or business beautiful by installing lights of various colors, shapes, and made in various positions so that the atmosphere becomes beautiful. The rapid development of electronic materials has excited and stimulated the growth of household appliances and also the ornaments in the form of lamps that compete with their development. Lamps with forms and conditions of use of electric current that are energy efficient. The lamps with the transformer part coded T (engine) and Part G (glass/tube) will alternately be installed between G (glass) and T (engine) for testing. From these changes, the results of light intensity will be obtained for later analysis. The results obtained show that if T5 or G5 is replaced with G8, G11, G18, G23 it will result in a significant increase in the light intensity value. The effect of neon gas on lamps can be used at small electric power. With this research, it is hoped that optimal results will be obtained to produce more lamp products so that lamp prices become cheaper. Neon gas can be used in making lights on billboards to introduce industrial products. This research is intended so that in designing energy-saving lamps to install the desired T and G to produce energy-saving lamps. |

Abstract: |
The paper focuses on investigating the impact of rail surface roughness on wheel wear in train systems. The roughness of the rail surface is affected by various factors, and it has been observed to cause mechanical and thermal stresses that affect the wear and tear of train wheels. Severe wheel tread wear can cause a variety of problems, including increased running resistance, vehicle instability, and derailment. To solve these problems effectively, various assumptions are often made, such as the non-influence of surface roughness and heat generated during the contact. However, these assumptions could lead to an increase in unaccounted internal and external forces during the wheel-rail interaction, thereby increasing the wheel wear rate. Therefore, this paper aims to closely examine the impact of wheel-rail contact problems caused by the presumption of non-influence of surface roughness. |

Abstract: |
The world is facing a climate crisis as a result of the increasing emission of carbon into the atmosphere. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydropower, offer a promising solution to this problem. This paper examines the role of renewable energy in reducing carbon emissions. It begins by defining renewable energy and discussing the impact of carbon emissions on the environment. It then outlines the role of renewable energy in reducing carbon emissions, including the potential for new technologies to increase efficiency. The paper also discusses the challenges associated with implementing renewable energy and the potential for renewable energy to become the primary source of energy in the future. The paper concludes by summarizing the findings and suggesting further research in the area. |
