Abstract

This study tested the effect of 50%:50% concentration nano-Talc/TiO2 on optical and photocatalytic properties thin layer activity. The goal is to understand how 50%:50% concentration affects absorption, reflection and transmission as as well as photocatalytic activity of thin layer. This research is experimental, starting with grinding Talc and TiO2, followed by dilution layer synthesis using the spin coat technique. Characterization includes cross-section morphology analysis using SEM, absorption, reflection, transmission and energy measurements slit with a UV-Vis DR spectroscope, as well as photocatalytic activity test. The research results show that the coating process managed to increase absorption by (92-98)% and energy band gap of 2.93 eV while reflection and transmission are reduced by (0.5-4)%, as well as the lowest rate of photocatalytic activity degradation rate of 0%, causing low ROS under light sunlight protective layer.

Abstract

This study investigated the functional group transformation of asphalt modified using Escherichia coli through mixing and coating methods as a biological self-healing approach for pavement materials. The experimental research was conducted under controlled laboratory conditions using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and hydrophobicity analysis to evaluate chemical, morphological, and surface performance changes. The mixing method promoted dominant internal interactions within the asphalt matrix, indicated by increased O–H functional groups and homogeneous bacterial distribution. In contrast, the coating method generated stronger surface reactions characterized by higher C–O intensity, enhanced biomineralization activity, and localized CaCO3 formation on the asphalt surface. SEM observations revealed that the coating method formed denser biofilm structures, contributing to improved hydrophobicity and accelerated microcrack healing performance. Comparative analysis demonstrated that bacterial application mechanisms significantly influenced asphalt chemical evolution and engineering behavior. The findings indicate that biologically modified asphalt using Escherichia coli possesses considerable potential for sustainable, adaptive, and self-healing pavement systems through optimized bacterial treatment strategies.

Abstract

Indonesia located along the equator and dominated by oceanic areas, is highly vulnerable to atmospheric dynamics and extreme convective weather. Minangkabau International Airport (BIM), situated in a coastal region of West Sumatra, is frequently affected by cumulonimbus (Cb) clouds and thunderstorms (TS), which pose risks to aviation safety. This study aims to determine the threshold values of the Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) index and the Total Totals Index (TT) that are appropriate for local conditions, based on radiosonde and synoptic observation data from 2019–2023, and verified using 2024 data. The CAPE and TT values were analyzed using Sturges’ method to determine frequency intervals and dichotomous analysis to establish threshold effectiveness. Results indicate that CAPE thresholds for Cb clouds range from 495 to 2679 J/kg, while TT thresholds for thunderstorms range from 43.5 to 47.4, depending on the seasonal variation (DJF, MAM, JJA, SON). These thresholds demonstrated strong performance in identifying convective weather events, thus serving as a useful reference for forecasting and enhancing flight safety at BIM.
