Weeding in wetland paddy is largely done by hand weeder "Khurpi" in middle Gujarat region. Another method is the use of mechanical weeders. Study was conducted to know the design features of manually operated weeders for paddy weeding. The results of the study revealed that japanese paddy weeder required more numbers of labours and incorporation of weeds into the soil, aeration to the root zone of crop and churning capacity was found very poor than TNAU conoweeder. Even though, it was found drudgerious, time consuming and faced operational instability with frequent clogging of soil around weeding cone and blades. To offset this problem, cono-weeder was developed considering different design parameters. Serrated bladed weeding unit of 100 mm cone diameter and 30° blade angle was chosen and it was fabricated from standard materials. The comparison of the performance in terms of different dependent parameters was carried out by field experiment in three replications. It was ergonomically evaluated to calculate physiological work load and its suitability in the region. The results of the experiment revealed that the developed cono-weeder was found more suitable for paddy weeding due to highest weeding efficiency 87.77 %, field capacity 0.026 ha h-1 and maximum soil volume disturbed 6.49 m3 h-1. Plant damage, numbers of clogging and cost of operation were found lower as 4.58 %, 3 and 1107.90 R ha-1 respectively than TNAU conoweeder. The overall performance of equipment can be computed in term of performance index which was found highest as 2300 of the developed cono-weeder. The effect of equipment on crop growth parameters was found non-significant. The working heart rate for male and female subjects were observed higher as 148 beats min-1 and 152 beats min-1 respectively for weeding with TNAU conoweeder as compared the developed cono-weeder. The average energy expenditure rate of male and female subjects for weeding by developed cono-weeder were calculated as 16.86 kJ min-1 and 17.82 kJ min-1 which was less than TNAU conoweeder. Thus, the work with the developed cono-weeder falls under moderate heavy work, which is under acceptable limits of male and female subjects (100-120 beats min-1) in wetland weeding operation.

The aims of this study were (1) to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of development system of Sukarno Hatta Port, (2) to analyze the development needs of Sukarno Hatta container Port to implement the concept of archipelago pendulum; and (3) to analyze the development strategy of Makassar container port as pendulun of archipelago. The method used in this research was SWOT matrix that concerned analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This method was used to obtain a balance between internal and external capabilities. The results show that the short-time impact of the program of Makassar port as pendulun of archipelago is to resolve the problem of congested flow of loading and unloading traffic. In the long term, it shows that the program has great contribution to the economy of Makassar South Sulawesi through the economic scale of ship in general as well as extension of port competitive position. However, the development will have negative impact for the liner ship industry that has yet no ship container as Panamax level. Other negative impact includes certainty of decrease in the logistic cost that still depends on readiness essential that the development strategy of Makassar port to have an orientation of infrastructure development for large container ship supported by professional logistic staff without employment of private operator. In addition, the development system needs to facilities the decrease of logistic tariff to overcome the treat of economic sluggishness. It is important for the port to account for as the open gate for various currencies as a means of tariff and transaction determination in order to achieve a balanced economic and logistic cost.

Thenatural gas is becoming a very attractive source of energy, with its share in global consumption expected to increase dramatically over the next two decades. However, the gas markets are normally far away from production fields. There are many possible technologies of transporting gas from production fields to consumers but off-shore transportation of Compressed Natural Gas has emerged as an outstanding alternative to Liquefied Natural Gas. To make a marine CNG project economically attractive, it is very necessary to optimize the transportational expenses. In this paper, a decision-based scheme is developed to improve the competitiveness and efficiency of marine CNG shipping. The main focus is to minimize the total transportation distance from one production source to multiple recipients. The reduction in distance, in turn, minimizes the transportational cost. This goal has been achieved by using Milk-Run pattern of CNG distribution and Dijkstra's Algorithm has been applied to calculate the shortest distance from one production source to several recipients. The calculations show that the proposed algorithm efficiently minimizes the travel distance up to 30%. This algorithm has been successfully tested at Sakhalin-II natural gas production field in Russia. The Milk-Run scheme of CNG distribution involves a large number of iterations and complex calculations. To make the work quicker and easier, a C++ tool has been developed in this project.
