Pot capacity (PC) is a direct method of determining field capacity (FC) for experiments with plantings in pots. The objective of this study was to evaluate different laboratory methods to determine field capacity and compare them with the pot capacity method. The experimental design was completely randomized (CRD), with nine treatments (methods of obtaining FC) and four replications, totaling 36 experimental plots. The mean values of moisture contents in the FC of the nine methods were compared, being eight empirically obtained and one directly in the greenhouse, defined as a control treatment (PC). The relative accuracy (RA) for all treatments was determined in relation to the control treatment. The estimation of the upper limit of available water in the soil varies depending on the method, and a decreasing order of moisture levels can be observed at FC: FC-Lab4pts > FC-Labip > FC-Lab8pts > PC > FC-Lab6pts > FC-6KPa > FC-LabSWRC > FC-10KPa > FC-33KPa. The treatment FC-Lab6pts has the relative accuracy closest to 100% and can be a practical alternative to PC. The use of 4, 6, 8 or 10 points for modeling the SWRC does not interfere with the quality of the FC estimated by the Dexter inflection point method, which is much more efficient for experiments of this nature. The use of potentials -10 kPa and -33 kPa is not adequate to estimate FC in tests with pots in a greenhouse.

The vibration and noise of gears is one of the serious problems for devices, such as vehicles and wind turbines. The characteristics of the vibration and noise of gears are considerably affected by the tooth flank form deviation of micrometer order. The quality of product gears is controlled using a gear measuring instrument and calibrated with an involute artifact. However, the conventional calibration of the involute artifact cannot achieve a sufficient accuracy. In this report, a direct method of measuring the involute artifact using a laser interferometer is proposed. Fundamental experiments are carried out, in which the effects of the surface condition of the measured object and the effect of the driving of the artifact are investigated. It is confirmed that the proposed method enables the measurement of the detailed form of an involute tooth flank and has the potential of accomplishing a highly precise measurement of an involute artifact.

The preparation of rennet casein has been studied on both a laboratory and plant scale, and the effect of the various factors in procedure on the quality of the casein produced is discussed. The details of preparation for a product of excellent quality are given. A simple heat resistance test showing the presence of impurities has been developed. The plasticity of a number of caseins has been measured by a direct method in a laboratory extruder, under pressure ranging up to 77,000 lb. per sq. in.; the maximum viscosity measured directly in this study was about one billion, seven hundred million poises. The flow-pressure curves obtained show no tendency towards a yield point, but show varying degrees of structural viscosity and may be fairly well represented by the relation F = kPn, where F is the flow, P is the pressure, n and k are constants. Decrease in pH of the casein, decrease in ash, and increase in lactose content all lower the viscosity of plastic casein. Small increases in water content decrease the viscosity greatly. Up to 80 °C. the temperature of drying has no appreciable effect on the viscosity. Moistening of casein plastic is discussed, as is also the distribution of water and vapor equilibria. Plastic casein is shown to exhibit streamline flow in extrusion, and plasticization is therefore more difficult to accomplish.

Vocational schools (SMK) is a secondary education that preparesstudents primarily for working on a particular field. Diverse efforts made by SMKgraduates increased 8 Medan include improving the quality of education byreforming both the substance of the material and the provision of facilities andinfrastructure. However, the results have not been up, cermatan can be seen fromthe low competence of graduates, making it less able to play a role in meeting thedemands of the workplace. Assumed to be an indication of the quality of learning isstill performed during less effective, less efficient and unable to increase studentinterest. In order to achieve maximum learning outcomes is through theimprovement of learning strategies to utilize the educational facilities in accordancewith existing conditions, ie, by examining one of the subjects namely Constructiondressmaking pattern. Construction material pattern done with learning strategyapproach manipulated into two comparing results STAD cooperative learningstrategies and learning strategies expository and compare the results with thelearning characteristics of students with high and low interest in learning onlearning outcomes Pattern Construction.

The selection and determination of appropriate learning strategies can improve the results to be obtained from the application of classroom learning models. This writing aims to discipline students to develop individual abilities of students to be more active in the learning process and improve the quality of learning. The learning process in Indonesia in general only uses conventional learning models that make students passive and undeveloped. In order for the quality of learning to increase, the Team Assisted Individualization learning model is combined with the task learning and forced strategies. The Team Assisted Individualization cooperative learning model is one of the cooperative learning models that combines learning individually and in groups. Meanwhile, task and forced learning strategies are strategies that focus on giving assignments that require students to complete them on time so that the learning process can run effectively. Students are required to do assignments according to the given deadline. This makes students become familiar with the tasks given by the teacher. Combining or modifying the learning model of the assisted individualization team with forced and forced learning strategies is expected to be able to make students more active, disciplined, independent, creative in learning and responsible for the tasks assigned. Therefore this method of incorporation is very necessary in the learning process and can be applied to improve the quality of learning in schools.

Community empowerment in education is needed especially to support the implementation of good schools. The level of community participation in the education process in this school seems to have a major influence on the progress of the school, the quality of learning services in schools which will ultimately affect the progress and learning achievement of children in school.
