*copas postingannyah mamat
*desi update waktu dan Judul ya pak PeJe, jangan lupa lengkapin rundownnya juga

isagala-ers udah daftar di MyQ.com?

cuma announcement ajah

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Setelah melalui banyak pertimbangan, termasuk tes migrasi selama hampir sehari semalaman pada akhirnya myQuran dot COM akan benar-benar release ke dalam forum baru, sebagai lanjutan dot ORG.

Semua data pada forum lama (dot ORG), akan tetap disana sebagai arsip. Tidak dihapus. Namun akan diset menjadi 'read only'.

Beberapa keputusan ini diambil antara lain memiliki latar belakang:

• Pertimbangan dari tim inti myQuran yang secara taktis
• Pertimbangan tim teknis, memigrasikan berkali-kali hasilnya kurang bagus dan akan bekerja super ekstra ketika finalisasi data.
• Penerapan banyak kebijakan dan fitur baru, baik dalam forum maupun edisi CMS ke depan.
• Karena akan adanya fitur CMS, maka terjadi banyak penyesuain di topik forum. Dari forum dot ORG direvisi seperti yang sekarang. Ada yang dipertahankan, ada pula yang harus dihilangkan. Beberapa diantaranya diubah, ataupun di tambahkan.
• Dan banyak pertimbangan-pertimbangan lainnya yang syarat akan pada akhirnya menjadikan benar-benar mulai dari baru...

Karena itu, forum baru ini (dot COM) akan dipertahankan seperti ini susunannya dan usernya termasuk isinya yang sekarang --- revisi informasi kemarin, dan insyaAllah akan seterusnya menggunakan edisi vBulletin ini.

Kami mengakui pasti ada rasa yang 'tidak ikhlas' atas keputusan ini, karena betapa banyak artikel dan memoar indah pada edisi SMF. Namun yakinlah semoga ini yang terbaik. Tidak sepatutnya mengeluh dan menyesali hal-hal yang harus ditinggalkan yang kan jadi beban. Tetap semangat, songsong perubahan dengan kebaikan dan semangat yang ada!

Wassalamu'alaikum Wr Wb

pas diclick, langsung pencarian dengan keyword "water on the moon"
ada air di bulan

Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry. But new observations from three different spacecraft have put this notion to rest with what has been called "unambiguous evidence" of water across the surface of the moon.

The new findings, detailed in the Sept. 25 issue of the journal Science, come in the wake of further evidence of lunar polar water ice by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and just weeks before the planned lunar impact of NASA's LCROSS satellite, which will hit one of the permanently shadowed craters at the moon's south pole in hope of churning up evidence of water ice deposits in the debris field.

The moon remains drier than any desert on Earth, but the water is said to exist on the moon in very small quantities. One ton of the top layer of the lunar surface would hold about 32 ounces of water, researchers said. 

"If the water molecules are as mobile as we think they are — even a fraction of them — they provide a mechanism for getting water to those permanently shadowed craters," said planetary geologist Carle Pieters of Brown University in Rhode Island, who led one of the three studies in Science on the lunar find, in a statement. "This opens a whole new avenue [of lunar research], but we have to understand the physics of it to utilize it."

Finding water on the moon would be a boon to possible future lunar bases, acting as a potential source of drinking water and fuel.

Apollo turns up dry

When Apollo astronauts returned from the moon 40 years ago, they brought back several samples of lunar rocks.

The moon rocks were analyzed for signs of water bound to minerals present in the rocks; while trace amounts of water were detected, these were assumed to be contamination from Earth, because the containers the rocks came back in had leaked.

"The isotopes of oxygen that exist on the moon are the same as those that exist on Earth, so it was difficult if not impossible to tell the difference between water from the moon and water from Earth," said Larry Taylor of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, who is a member of one of the NASA-built instrument teams for India's Chandrayaan-1 satellite and has studied the moon since the Apollo missions.

While scientists continued to suspect that water ice deposits could be found in the coldest spots of south pole craters that never saw sunlight, the consensus became that the rest of the moon was bone dry.

But new observations of the lunar surface made with Chandrayaan-1, NASA's Cassini spacecraft, and NASA's Deep Impact probe, are calling that consensus into question, with multiple detections of the spectral signal of either water or the hydroxyl group (an oxygen and hydrogen chemically bonded).

Three spacecraft

Chandrayaan-1, India's first-ever moon probe, was aimed at mapping the lunar surface and determining its mineral composition (the orbiter's mission ended 14 months prematurely in August after an abrupt malfunction). While the probe was still active, its NASA-built Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) detected wavelengths of light reflected off the surface that indicated the chemical bond between hydrogen and oxygen — the telltale sign of either water or hydroxyl.

Because M3 can only penetrate the top few millimeters of lunar regolith, the newly observed water seems to be at or near the lunar surface. M3's observations also showed that the water signal got stronger toward the polar regions. Pieters is the lead investigator for the M3 instrument on Chandrayaan-1.

Cassini, which passed by the moon in 1999 on its way to Saturn, provides confirmation of this signal with its own slightly stronger detection of the water/hydroxyl signal. The water would have to be absorbed or trapped in the glass and minerals at the lunar surface, wrote Roger Clark of the U.S. Geological Survey in the study detailing Cassini's findings.

The Cassini data shows a global distribution of the water signal, though it also appears stronger near the poles (and low in the lunar maria).

Finally, the Deep Impact spacecraft, as part of its extended EPOXI mission and at the request of the M3 team, made infrared detections of water and hydroxyl as part of a calibration exercise during several close approaches of the Earth-Moon system en route to its planned flyby of comet 103P/Hartley 2 in November 2010.

Deep Impact detected the signal at all latitudes above 10 degrees N, though once again, the poles showed the strongest signals. With its multiple passes, Deep Impact was able to observe the same regions at different times of the lunar day. At noon, when the sun's rays were strongest, the water feature was lowest, while in the morning, the feature was stronger.

"The Deep Impact observations of the Moon not only unequivocally confirm the presence of [water/hydroxyl] on the lunar surface, but also reveal that the entire lunar surface is hydrated during at least some portion of the lunar day," the authors wrote in their study.

The findings of all three spacecraft "provide unambiguous evidence for the presence of hydroxyl or water," said Paul Lucey of the University of Hawaii in an opinion essay accompanying the three studies. Lucey was not involved in any of the missions.

The new data "prompt a critical reexamination of the notion that the moon is dry. It is not," Lucey wrote.

Where the water comes from

Combined, the findings show that not only is the moon hydrated, the process that makes it so is a dynamic one that is driven by the daily changes in solar radiation hitting any given spot on the surface.

The sun might also have something to do with how the water got there.

There are potentially two types of water on the moon: that brought from outside sources, such as water-bearing comets striking the surface, or that that originates on the moon.

This second, endogenic, source is thought to possibly come from the interaction of the solar wind with moon rocks and soils.

The rocks and regolith that make up the lunar surface are about 45 percent oxygen (combined with other elements as mostly silicate minerals). The solar wind — the constant stream of charged particles emitted by the sun — are mostly protons, or positively charged hydrogen atoms.

If the charged hydrogens, which are traveling at one-third the speed of light, hit the lunar surface with enough force, they break apart oxygen bonds in soil materials, Taylor, the M3 team member suspects. Where free oxygen and hydrogen exist, there is a high chance that trace amounts of water will form.

The various study researchers also suggest that the daily dehydration and rehydration of the trace water across the surface could lead to the migration of hydroxyl and hydrogen towards the poles where it can accumulate in the cold traps of the permanently shadowed regions.

Splash! NASA moon crash struck lots of water
By ALICIA CHANG (AP) – 1 hour ago

LOS ANGELES — Suddenly, the moon looks exciting again. It has lots of water, scientists said Friday — a thrilling discovery that sent a ripple of hope for a future astronaut outpost in a place that has always seemed barren and inhospitable.

Experts have long suspected there was water on the moon. Confirmation came from data churned up by two NASA spacecraft that intentionally slammed into a lunar crater last month.

"Indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn't find just a little bit. We found a significant amount," said Anthony Colaprete, lead scientist for the mission, holding up a white water bucket for emphasis.

The lunar crash kicked up at least 25 gallons and that's only what scientists could see from the plumes of the impact, Colaprete said.

Some space policy experts say that makes the moon attractive for exploration again. Having an abundance of water would make it easier to set up a base camp for astronauts, supplying drinking water and a key ingredient for rocket fuel.

"Having definitive evidence that there is substantial water is a significant step forward in making the moon an interesting place to go," said George Washington University space policy scholar John Logsdon.

Even so, members of the blue-ribbon panel reviewing NASA's future plans said it doesn't change their conclusion that the program needs more money to get beyond near-Earth orbit. The panel wants NASA to look at other potential destinations like asteroids and Mars.

"This new and terrific result reassures us about lunar resources, but ... the challenges currently facing the human spaceflight program remain," Chris Chyba, a Princeton astrophysicist who is on the panel, said in an e-mail.

President George W. Bush had proposed a more than $100 billion plan to return astronauts to the moon, then go on to Mars; a test flight of an early version of a new rocket was a success last month. President Barack Obama appointed the special panel to look at the entire moon exploration program. The decision is now up to the White House, and NASA's lunar plans are somewhat on hold until then.

As for unmanned exploration, previous missions had detected the presence of hydrogen in lunar craters near the moon's poles, possible evidence of ice. In September, scientists reported finding tiny amounts of water in the lunar soil all over the moon's surface.

But it was NASA's Oct. 9 mission involving the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, LCROSS, that provided the stunning confirmation announced Friday — water, in the forms of ice and vapor.

"Rather than a dead and unchanging world, it could in fact be a very dynamic and interesting one," said Greg Delory of the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the mission, led by NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif.

The LCROSS spacecraft only hit one spot on the moon and it's unclear how much water there is across the entire moon.

The October mission involved two strikes into a permanently shadowed crater near the south pole. First, an empty rocket hull slammed into the Cabeus crater. Then, a trailing spacecraft recorded the drama live before it also crashed into the same spot four minutes later.

Though scientists were overjoyed with the plethora of data beamed back to Earth, the mission was a public relations dud. Space enthusiasts who stayed up all night to watch the spectacle did not see the promised giant plume of debris.

NASA scientists had predicted the twin impacts would spew six miles of dust into the sunlight. Instead, images revealed only a mile-high plume, and it was not visible to many amateur astronomers peering through telescopes.

Scientists spent a month analyzing data from the spacecraft's spectrometers, instruments that can detect strong signals of water molecules in the plume.

"We've had hints that there is water. This was almost like tasting it," said Peter Schultz, professor of geological sciences at Brown University and a co-investigator on the LCROSS mission.

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who in 1969 made his historic Apollo 11 moonwalk with Neil Armstrong, was pleased to hear the latest discovery, but still believes the U.S. should focus on colonizing Mars.

"People will overreact to this news and say, `Let's have a water rush to the moon,'" Aldrin said. "It doesn't justify that."

Mission scientists said it would take more time to tease out what else was kicked up in the moon dust.

Photo: Moon Water Found, Raises Questions About Origin Theory
Water found in moon matter counters the long-held belief that Earth's satellite is bone dry, researchers announced today.

Geologists used new technology to coax water molecules from volcanic glasses brought back decades ago by two Apollo missions.

The researchers believe the water was ejected along with magma when "fire fountains" erupted more than three billion years ago from the moon's surface.

The finding raises new questions about the long-standing "giant impact" theory, which holds that the moon was formed more than a billion years prior to that when a Mars-sized body slammed into Earth and sent debris into orbit.

(Related: "Moon Facts" [July 14, 2004])

Researchers once believed the impact was hot enough and long enough to vaporize volatile elements, including the building blocks of water.

The new study "puts some limits on how hot this planet was and how quickly the volatile elements condensed back into the solid," said study lead author Alberto Saal, a geologist at Brown University.

"What is important for me is it's telling me something about the origin of the moon and the Earth and the presence of water at very early times," he said.

The study appears in the July 10 issue of the journal Nature.

Not So Hot

Most astronomers believe a rogue planet collided with Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. The impact sent molten debris into orbit around Earth, some of which coalesced to form the moon.

Under this scenario, the heat of the impact should have vaporized light elements, including the hydrogen necessary for water to form.

Para pendukung Stop Islamization sedang mengadakan parade anti-Islam di depan Masjid Pusat Glasgow. (SuaraMedia News)

Para pendukung Stop Islamization sedang mengadakan parade anti-Islam di depan Masjid Pusat Glasgow. (SuaraMedia News)
GLASGOW (SuaraMedia News) - Sebuah kelompok yang menyebut dirinya Liga Pertahanan Skotlandia membuat dan kemudian membatalkan aplikasi untuk menyelenggarakan sebuah parade pada tanggal 14 November di Glasgow.

“Tidak akan ada prosesi publik dengan ijin atau terorganisir,” ujar juru bicara Dewan Kota Glasgow.

Namun, di balik itu, persiapan sedang berjalan untuk melakukan demonstrasi besar pada tanggal tersebut. Investigator Sunday Mail menemukan fakta itu.

Yang diharapkan hadir pada reli anti-Islam itu adalah kaum rasis Inggris, neo-Nazi, kelompok eksrem kanan, hooligan sepakbola, kelompok sayap kanan, dan aktivis senior Partai Nasional Inggris (BNP).

Mereka juga melibatkan bos keamanan Essex, Leisha Brookes, aktivis BNP Chris Renton, penggemar Aston Villa Richard Price dan Jeff Marsh, hooligan berusia 44 tahun yang mendapat dakwaan dari pengadilan.

“Ini mungkin akan menjadi parade terbesar dalam sejarah,” ujar Gash yang membantu mengadakan protes serupa di Harrow, Middlesex yang berakhir dengan kekacauan.

Kelompok ini merencanakan sebuah parade anti-Islam besar-besaran di Glasgow, di dekat Masjid terbesar di Skotlandia.

“Banyak perusahaan di sini yang muak dengan pertumbuhan Islam,” ujar Stephen Gash, seorang pengusaha dan anggota kelompok Stop Islamisasi di Eropa (SIOE).

“Apakah itu kasusnya di Skotlandia atau bukan, kita harus melihatnya.”

Pihak kepolisian dan politisi khawatir akan timbulnya kekerasan, terutama karena aksi ilegal itu akan diadakan di dekat Masjid Pusat Glasgow.

Populasi Skotlandia terdiri atas 50.000 Muslim yang membentuk sekitar 1% dari total penduduk. Muslim dianggap sebagai kelompok relijius terbesar kedua di Skotlandia yang memiliki 30 Masjid, termasuk 12 di Glasgow.

Sunday Mail menambahkan bahwa sebagian pemrotes akan datang dari Inggris, bukan Skotlandia.

“Akan ada banyak orang Inggris yang datang ke parade Glasgow dari seluruh tempat - Bristol, Luton, Birmingham,” ujar Gash.

“Banyak perusahaan sepakbola seperti Aston Villa yang akan terlibat.”

Tren yang sama terjadi dalam reli anti-Islam serupa baru-baru ini di Swansea oleh Liga Pertahanan Welsh delapan hari lalu.
“Di Swansea, mayoritas pemrotes adalah orang Inggris, sama seperti di Glasgow nanti,” ujar Taha Idris dari Dewan Kesetaraan Ras Swansea Bay. (rin/io) www.suaramedia.com

Dua Mahasiswa UI Temukan Teknologi Ubah Suara Jadi Tulisan
Cukup Cuap-Cuap, Komputer Menulis Sendiri

Mengetik tak perlu lagi memakai keyboard. Cukup de­ngan cuap-cuap, komputer akan mengolah sendiri suara tersebut menjadi tulisan. Itulah pengembangan teknologi dua mahasiswa Fakultas Ilmu Komputer Universitas Indonesia, Sadar Baskoro dan Amalia Zahria.

TITIK ANDRIYANI, Jakarta

---

Sadar Baskoro dan Amalia Zahria pa­ham betul bahwa teknologi informasi akan semakin lengket dengan kehidup­an manusia. Itu pula yang melatarbelaka­ngi mereka untuk mengembangkan ha­sil penelitian terbarunya.

Menurut mereka, teknologi yang bi­sa mengenali suara manusia dan mengu­bah­nya dalam bentuk teks sebenarnya su­dah ada. Namanya sistem pengenal sua­ra otomatis (SPSO/speech recognition). ''Tapi, tidak dalam bentuk baha­sa Indonesia. Karena itu, kami me­ngem­bangkannya. Ke depan, kami ingin me­ngembangkan bahasa daerah seperti Jawa, Sunda, maupun Batak,'' je­las Sadar.

Sejatinya, penelitian itu merupakan ba­gian dari tugas akhir kedua mahasis­wa tersebut. Ketika itu, penelitian terse­but masih berupa konsep. Beberapa bu­lan kemudian, mereka mulai me­ngem­bangkan konsep itu dengan mengapli­kasikan secara riil sistem pengenal suara tersebut.

Dia menyebutkan, tujuan penelitian itu adalah meneliti lebih lanjut berbagai kom­ponen pada sistem pengenal suara. Con­tohnya, kamus fonetik, model akustik, dan bahasa.

Sadar lantas memeragakan kinerja sis­tem tersebut. Dia membuka aplikasi sistem itu. Kemudian, di layar kompu­ter muncul aplikasi program SPSO de­ngan beberapa menu. Dia mengeklik menu record (perekam). Lantas, dia ber­ucap, ''Ingin makan nasi goreng'' di depan speaker yang merupakan bagian dari perangkat sistem tersebut.

Hanya beberapa detik setelah itu, ke­luarlah teks saya makan nasi goreng di monitor komputer. Teks yang keluar persis dengan yang dia ucapkan.

Menurut Sadar, semakin banyak data sua­ra yang dimasukkan, semakin tinggi akurasi teks yang dihasilkan. Dengan demikian, peran keyboard tidak di­perlukan lagi. ''Cukup mengatakan apa yang ingin Anda sampaikan, teksnya akan keluar sendiri,'' tuturnya.

Menurut dia, program tersebut memang ber­tolak belakang dengan sistem yang su­dah dikembangkan bagi penderita tu­nanetra. Sistem yang digunakan untuk tunanetra justru menghasilkan bunyi ketika tuts keyboard dipencet. Suara yang keluar menjadi sinyal bagi user agar tidak salah mengetik huruf. Sebaliknya, sistem yang dikembangkan Sadar dan Amalia itu menghasilkan teks berupa tulisan.

Sadar menjelaskan, metodologi penelitian tersebut menggunakan sistem pe­ngolahan korpus suara dan teks. Teks diolah sedemikian rupa, sehingga tak ha­nya menghasilkan bunyi, tapi juga ta­tanan bahasa. Artinya, kata dia, output teks yang keluar otomatis sudah se­suai tatanan bahasa Indonesia.

Melalui sistem pengolahan tersebut, dihasilkan sistem pengenal suara bahasa Indonesia. Eksperimen yang dipakai untuk menghasilkan tulisan menggunakan suara manusia. Selain bisa berbicara langsung di depan speaker, data suara bisa diperoleh melalui rekaman telepon maupun radio. ''Dengan demikian, kita bisa meninggalkan pesan dalam bentuk teks,'' tuturnya.

Melalui penemuan itu, komputer bisa menghasilkan 181.500 kata. Cukup besar untuk meninggalkan pesan panjang atau membuat sebuah tulisan.

Untuk mengerjakan aplikasi SPSO tersebut, Sadar dan Amalia harus bekerja cukup keras. Sebab, akurasi teks yang dihasilkan awalnya tidak seakurat hasil yang ada saat ini. ''Membutuhkan beberapa kali percobaan. Namun, untunglah hasilnya cukup memuaskan,'' ujarnya. Sadar bersama rekannya ingin mengembangkan penelitian tersebut lebih lanjut.

Lantaran cukup berhasil, Sadar dan Amalia diminta Depdiknas untuk mengembangkan beberapa penelitian sistem suara. Salah satunya, sebuah penelitian untuk membantu kinerja KPK (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi). Kendati demikian, Sadar belum mau membeberkan bentuk penelitian yang akan dikerjakan. (nw)
