Abstract

Abstract: This paper reports molecular dynamics simulation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2)– substrate that has been done. Non-bonding length, partial atomic charge and electrostatic energy were used to evaluation the interaction between PLA2 and substrate. The research was subjected for three types of PLA2 of different sources, i.e, homo sapien, bovinus and porcinus, by using computer files of their molecular structures. The files with code 3elo, 1bp2, dan 1y6o were downloaded from protein data bank.  Substrate structure can be found in 1y60 and was separated from its enzyme structure and docked into two other PLA2 structures for simulation purpose. Molecular dynamics simulations were done for 30000 steps with constant in number of molecules, volume and temperature (NVT). The results showed the existing of flip-flop mechanism as basic feature of PLA2 – substrate reactions. Interaction length analysis results indicated the presence of water molecules on the structures of 1bp2 and 3elo at the time of the simulation was completed. The existence of aspagine at the reaction site confirmed the theory that this amino acid is responsible for the survival of the reaction. the electrostatic energy increased substantially in the interaction after homo sapien PLA2 (3elo) and Bovinus (1bp2) with the substrate. Inverse effect took place in the PLA porcinus (1y6o).Keywords: flip flop, inflammation, in-silico, simulation Abstrak (Indonesian): Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang simulasi dinamika molekuler pada Situs Reaksi Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) dengan substratnya.

Abstract

Research on hydrogen production from aluminum waste using the aluminum-water method using potassium as an activator has been successfully carried out. This research aims to determine the performance of the potassium activator in hydrogen production with variable water volume and potassium percentage. Hydrogen gas production is carried out using 60 mesh aluminum waste. Optimum conditions were achieved when a mass of 1 gram of aluminum was reacted with an additional volume of water of 1.5 mL, and 7% w/w of the activator mass, with the production of hydrogen gas of 553 mL at a production rate of 69 mL/minute.

Abstract

Solid waste from palm oil industry such as EFB and palm kernel shells pose environmental challenges if not properly managed. This study investigated the thermal characteristics and decomposition kinetics of EFB and palm kernel shells through proximate analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicate that palm kernel shells have a greater fixed carbon content (21.03–21.35%) than does EFB (19.60–20.06%), whereas EFB has a greater ash content (4.74–5.38%) than does palm kernel shells (1.25–1.31%). EFB showed a weight loss of 94.67% after 233.33 minutes of heating, whereas it was 99% for the palm kernel shells. The peak temperatures reached were 936.67 °C for the EFB and 930 °C for the palm kernel shells. At 600°C, EFB produced more syngas than palm kernel shells did. The calculated activation energies were 4482.19 J/mol for EFB and 4484.97 J/mol for palm kernel shells. This research enhances the understanding of the gasification efficiency of these materials, aiding in the optimization of eco-friendly energy production.Keywords: Empty fruit bunches, palm kernel shells, activation energy, thermogravimetric analysis, gasification

Abstract

This study explores the effect of hydrogen flow rate and humidifier temperature on the performance of the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) using Ti-Co/C catalyst at the cathode and Pt/C at the anode in a single-cell Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). MEAs were fabricated by the spraying method and characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to determine their electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and conductivity. The results showed that the optimized ECSA value reached 8.38 cm2/g, and the electrical conductivity was 3.76 × 10-8 S/cm. The best performance was achieved at a hydrogen flow rate of 100 mL/min and room temperature humidification. Under the hydrogen flow rate test, the maximum power density reached 0.364 mW/cm2, while in the humidifier temperature variation, a maximum power density of 0.375 mW/cm2  was obtained at a current density 2.4 mA/cm2. These findings suggest that Ti-Co/C is a promising low-cost catalyst alternative to Pt and that operational conditions play a critical role in MEA performance

Abstract

Research on the development of radio frequency energy harvesting slabs from palm kernel shells binchotan has been done. The slabs were characterized by using XRD and FTIR intrumentations to determine their crystallography and functional groups. The electrical response of slabs was measured on impedance spectroscopy instrumentation. The conductivity, impedance, and dielectric constant were calculated from impedance spectroscopy data. Diffractograms showed crystalline carbon and confirmed with the existence of peaks, at 2θ, 24.5° and 44.56°. FTIR analysis showed that carbon palm shells have the absorption length is in the range of wave numbers 1100 – 1200 cm-1 for CO of carboxylic acid, aldehyde, ketone and ester, from 1475 to 1600 cm-1 for C=C aromatic ring and double peaks in 1900 – 2100 cm-1 for conjugated C-C. The slabs conductivity varies from 1 to 7 mScm-1. Impedance values for the slabs vary from 1.5 to 2.4 ohm. Dielectric constants for the slabs range from 0.42 to 140.

Abstract

An essential component in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) is the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA), which facilitates the electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to generate electrical energy. This study examines the effect of varying hydrogen gas flow rates on the performance and durability of a Pt/C-based MEA. The MEA used in this research measures 6.5 cm × 30 cm with a catalyst loading of 2 mg/cm². The electrode is constructed in three layers of catalysts to maximize interfacial contact within the catalyst layer. The tested hydrogen flow rates were 100, 200, 300, and 400 mL/min. Performance evaluation was conducted through polarization (I–V) and power (I–P) curve measurements. The results indicated optimal performance at a 200 mL/min flow rate, with a maximum power density of 3.563 mW/cm² and a current density of 10.256 mA/cm². Durability testing was carried out under a constant current of 2 A for 12 hours and showed a voltage drop of 24.35% after 10 hours of operation. Electrochemical characterization using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) yielded an Electrochemical Surface Area (ECSA) of 1.477 × 10⁻⁵ m²/g, electrical conductivity of 3.218 × 10⁻⁴ S/cm, and an electric charge of 4.2 × 10⁻⁶ C.
