Abstract

Consuming caffeine in inappropriate amounts can disrupt various aspects, especially health. Controlling intake by knowing the caffeine levels in coffee is necessary to reduce the potential negative impacts. This research focuses on the detection of caffeine in Robusta coffee at two different concentrations (1:10 and 1:20 g/mL) and its relationship with yeast metabolism. An amperometric biosensor with a transimpedance amplifier to measure caffeine levels is used which has the advantages of sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, real time monitoring, biocompatibility, and reliable measurements. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and visualized using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results revealed a concentration -dependent decrease in biosensor readings as caffeine levels increased (0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 mM), indicating caffeine's ability to inhibit yeast oxygen consumption and oxygen-dependent metabolic processes. The sensitivity of the biosensor in detecting caffeine is 36.66 mV/mM. PCA uncovered complex patterns, relationships, and variations within the caffeine data. PC1 and PC2, the first two principal components, collectively explained 86.3% of the data's variance. Eigenvalues for both PCs were greater than 1, highlighting their significance in understanding the dataset's complexity. This research enhances our understanding of caffeine content in Robusta coffee and its effects on yeast metabolism, providing valuable insights for the coffee industry. This use of yeast biosensors offers efficiency, and adaptability that make that biosensor valuable in a variety of scientific and industrial contexts.

Abstract

Zinc oxide (ZnO) synthesized with natural reductants has attracted the attention of researchers because it is environmentally friendly and non-toxic. In this study, ZnO was prepared using Sandoricum koetjape (S. koetjape) peel extract. An aqueous extract of S. koetjape peel was used as biological reduction agent for the synthesis of ZnO from zinc nitrate hexahydrate. The ZnO powder obtained was annealed at different temperatures i.e, 300°C, 400°C, and 500°C for 1 hour. Structural, morphological, optical properties, and functional groups of samples were analyzed using X-Ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, UV-Vis Spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, respectively. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that pure hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO particles can be achieved after annealing. The crystal size has also increased with increasing annealing temperature. SEM photo demonstrates the transformation of ZnO particle from spherical to microflower due to annealing. The widest absorption peaks in the UV-Vis spectrum was occurred after annealing at 500°C. The bandgap energy of ZnO increases after annealing from 3.08 eV to 3.20 eV. The FT-IR analysis confirms O-H functional group from extract has been decomposed due to the annealing process. Based on this study, biosynthesized ZnO using Sandoricum koetjape peel extract requires annealing process to improve the purity, enhance the light absorbance and change the microstructure of ZnO.

Abstract

Ferroelectric material is a dielectric material that has a high dielectric constant value so that it can be made in the form of thin films. Its application is based on electro-optical properties, one of which is the infrared thermal switch. This paper aims to determine the bandgap energy (Eg) of a 0.3BaTiO3 – 0.7BaZr0.5Ti0.5O3 thin film. The 0.3BaTiO3 – 0.7BaZr0.5Ti0.5O3 thin film is a semiconductor material with the valence band and conduction band separated by an energy bandgap (Eg). Thin films of 0.3BaTiO3 – 0.7BaZr0.5Ti0.5O3 were grown on FTO substrates using the sol-gel method. The films of 0.3BaTiO3 – 0.7BaZr0.5Ti0.5O3 were annealed at different temperatures of 700°C, 750°C and 800°C within 1 hour. Characterization was carried out using Ultra Violet Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy to determine Eg using the Diffusion Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) method. The DRS method was found to be better for solid materials considering the scattering component. The UV-Vis characterization results show that an increase in annealing temperature causes a decrease in Eg. For example the values ​​at 700°C, 750°C and 800°C are 3.5 ± 0.01 eV; 3.3±0.01 eV and 3.2±0.01 eV. The decrease in Eg is related to the diffusion of Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) ions into the Barium Zirconium Titanate (BZT) lattice forming a new sub-gap which in turn gives BT-BZT the ability to absorb lower light. Lower light absorption means more capable optics for multilayer systems.

Abstract

This study aims to observe the ability of a thin layer of zinc oxide (ZnO) which is applied to sensor technology. Currently, the low detection limit of the sensor is a problem in its use. Metamaterials offer resonant properties in increasing sensitivity, but their performance is still below the current high modern technology. The high engineering properties of metamaterials provide opportunities for realizing renewable metamaterials. ZnO thin layer semiconductor material as a transparent conductive oxide can provide a wide detection potential. The ability of ZnO thin films to be adapted to metamaterial sensors can be further investigated and improved for the future.

Abstract

Teacher competency standards are indicators that can be used as a measure of teacher characteristics that are considered professionally competent. Teachers have a very strategic role in efforts to realize national development goals, especially in the field of education. However, the goal of education is to experience a decline in competency standards at the end of each year for certain subjects, especially science / Basic Physics. Therefore, this service aims to motivate educators and students at the secondary school level to raise awareness of the education process through the practice of learning science / Basic Physics using adequate equipment and materials. The proposed form of activity is in the form of teaching and learning in secondary schools throughout the Meranti Islands Regency including SMA, MAN, and MTs, and SMP levels. In addition, this activity also provides guidance on experiments and demonstration tools for science / Basic Physics teachers regarding understanding concepts from simple to complex natural phenomena through simple demonstration media for practical tools. That way, teachers are expected to be motivated and enthusiastic in the learning process with a good and comprehensive understanding of the material. So that it can increase teacher competency standards intensively to be more qualified and professional.

Abstract

Crystal structure visualization and X-ray diffraction pattern simulation of various types of ZnO microstructures have been successfully carried out using the VESTA software program. The purpose of this study was to obtain the relationship between the shape of the structure, microstructure, and composition to changes in the pattern and peak diffraction. The software program produces information on the shape of the crystal structure and representative X-ray diffraction patterns for ZnO microstructures. This program requires input in the form of coordinates of each constituent atom, lattice parameters, and spatial symmetry. The output obtained is a graph of the diffraction pattern and crystal structure that provides an overview of the profile and type (phase) of the ZnO microstructure. The results showed that the peak position and intensity of the diffraction pattern were influenced by the arrangement of atoms in the unit cell. In variations in structure and microstructure, the position of the diffraction peak provides a different picture for each type of structure depending on the arrangement of atoms in the unit cell, where each crystal structure has a different position and spatial symmetry, resulting in different diffraction patterns. The nanorod structure has a monoclinic crystal system (a ≠ b ≠ c) with a space group of C 2 / c and lattice parameters a = 15.4170 Å, b = 25.3560 Å, and c = 14.3840 Å. The nanowire structure has a triclinic crystal system (a ≠ b ≠ c) with lattice parameters a = 12.0380 Å, b = 2.4910 Å, c = 16.8890 Å and a space group of P-1 and is the simplest form of symmetric lattice. The nanoflower structure has an orthorhombic crystal system (a ≠ b ≠ c) with lattice parameters a = 9.47310 Å, b = 13.52960 Å, c = 29.0220 Å and space group P b c a.
