Abstract:

Mastery of mathematics is an overview of the accuracy of mathematics competency. It is a tremendous impact on well development and complete trained metacognition skills and thinking skills. Therefore, to ensure that students can understand mathematics well is through learning that can enhance and develop metacognitive skills and thinking skills. In order to reduce the weakness of mathematical mastery, one of the interventions is through active and meaningful learning. Active learning focuses on student engagement, interactive, retention and motivation to explore the learning. Through this review, peer tutoring is subject matter to discuss the ability to support active learning and evaluate the effectiveness of peer tutoring activities among students in developing metacognitive skills and thinking skills. A review of previous research through search in database likes Google Scholar, Science Direct, ERIC, Springer Link, Elsevier and several other databases, based on keywords has been implemented. A number of articles and journals have been systematically reviewed to answer questions in this literature study. However, just 13 articles and journals published in 2012 until the current year are selected for this review. Briefly, the constructs and themes in peer tutoring contribute to forming active learning that can lead to increased student thinking and metacognitive skills.

Abstract:

All over the world, different designs are used for construction of any type of structure. The Structure is design with mutual understanding of structure and architecture engineer to make structure stable and having an attractive look for the people. Beside this one of most essential component which must be installed in any type of structure is fire protection. To enhance the stanchions thickness in single span portal frame structures with fire boundary conditions cost analysis examine in this study. More ever this study also investigates to gain an inherent fire protection for fire resistance design periods. Using this method the cost is compared with common techniques for fire protection such as applying intumescent coating to frame members. In this study for conducting the analysis a portal type frame structure was designed. Different tests are conduct on the design portal frame structure and it is concluded that for fire resistance using the increase thickness of section is economical of fire protection while the design period is up to 30 minutes. Using the inherent protection method against the application intumescent coating for a period of 30 minutes more than 21% energy is saved. Significant cost of saving recorded in a project having large scale construction.

https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.2019.06.00049

Abstract:

There has actually been a considerable rise in air traffic quantity, especially over the previous twenty years. In order to handle this boost popular, it has actually been needed to raise the effectiveness of airplane engines. For many years, this has actually been accomplished by minimizing the clearance in between blade tips and also the engine casing. Consequently, of the minimized clearance, tip-rubbing often takes place in the engine throughout the procedure. In this paper, a short intro to the tip-rubbing occasion as well as associated prices to the sector, and also just how abradable products are utilized to decrease the incident of tip-rubbing are pointed out. The Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine and also the 2nd phase compressor area are explained briefly.

Abstract:

Hospitals, generally have sensitive medical equipment and other associated machinery, have considerably low power factor. Low power factor results in lagging VARs that needs immediate balancing to avoid surcharge and to keep the voltage in permissible limits. This is only possible if power factor could be brought back to unity. Static capacitors though an inexpensive solution results in high inrush currents. Regulators upshots higher currents thus resulting in power losses. Also, static capacitors can tackle the reactive VARs, but only is well defined steps. Thus, a step-less process of sensing, controlling, and injection of is required. A real-time solution is offered in this paper which would help in retaining high power factor.
