Abstract

Thecharacter of coir handsheets prepared with beating and addition of polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) was investigated. Pulp coir from soda-anthraquinone pulping was used as raw material for manufacture of coir handsheets. Physical and mechanical properties obtained with different beating level and PAE dosage were measured. The addition of PAE 10% w/w and beating on pulp stock of 3000 rev increased grammage and density at 1.9 and 15.8%, respectively. Instead it decreased thickness by 15.8%. Addition PAE dosage of 10% w/w at 10000 rev improved the density, but decreased the porosity and Cobb60 at 5.8; 10.2; and 19 %, respectively. The highest   dry and wet tensile were obtained at 20 % w/w of PAE. Combination of  beating and addition of PAE on pulp stock formed wet-strength handsheets with range between 28.0 to 34.2%.

Abstract

A series of simulations has been carried out using a Monte Carlo N Particle X code to find out the final composition and configuration of a neutron Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA)  to moderate the fast neutron flux which is generated from the thick disk-type beryllium target. The final configuration for neutron BSA design included 35 cm lead as reflector, 39 cm alumina as moderator, 8.2 cm lithium fluoride as fast neutron filter and 0.5 cm boron carbide as thermal neutron filter. Bismuth, lead fluoride, and lead were chosen as the aperture, reflector, and gamma shielding, respectively. The disk-type of beryllium target is 19 cm in diameter with 0.5 cm thickness which is covered by copper plate to hold the water pressured coolant. A higher yield of neutron production requires a higher intensity of proton beams, which generate much heats and causes the target material to melt. Therefore, it is useful to consider the temperature distribution on the target material with flowing water coolant by means of computer modeling while designing the target. ANSYS-Fluent code will be used to estimate the thermal transfer and heat calculation in a solid target during beam irradiation. Epithermal neutron flux in the suggested design were 1,03x109 n/cm2 s, with almost all IAEA parameters for BNCT BSA design has been satisfied.

Abstract

Infectious diseases have become one of the leading cause of mortality around the world, including in the Southeast Asia. One of the microbial that cause infection is fungi. Occasionally, deep-seated fungal infection is difficult to detect using conventional diagnosis methods and therefore leads to inaccurate detection. Our previous research was conducted in order to obtain the labeled compound of 99mTc-DTPA-Ketoconazole with a high radiochemical purity (98.40 ± 0.86%). Moreover, the in-vitro assays showed that 99mTc-DTPA-Ketoconazole can potentially bind to Candida albicans. On the other hand, in clinical routine use, diagnostic kit should be safe for the patients. Consequently, this research was conducted to determine the biological safety parameters of 99mTc-DTPA-Ketoconazole on the animal study, including single dose and acute toxicity test, sterility, and apirogenicity test. The results showed that both the single dose at 34.6 μCi and dose until 149 times of the single dose did not stimulate the toxic response to the animals. In addition, the sterility data revealed that there was no microbial growth after 7 days of incubation at 37°C as well as fungal growth after 14 days of incubation at 25°C. Furthermore, the apirogenicity test using rabbits revealed that there was no increase in temperature more than 0.6°C for each animal and not more than 1.5°C of total increase of temperature for all the animals. It is concluded that the 99mTc-DTPA-Ketoconazole is satisfy the requirements of biological safety of a radiopharmaceutical and therefore was acceptable for fungal detection in nuclear medicine.

Abstract

Adsorption of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in aqueous solution by the zeolite A from coal fly ash modified hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMAB) at various pH conditions has been carried out. Zeolite A was synthesized from fly ash through modified alkaline fusion hydrothermal process in a reactor stainless steel. The surface modification was performed using cationic surfactant HDTMAB twice as much as the cationic exchange capacity of the elite A resulted. The surfactant modified zeolite A was then applied to adsorption the metal ion chromium as Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in aqueous solution. The results showed that the  acidity (pH)  of adsorption conditions, affect the ability of adsorption surfactant modified zeolite A (SMZA) to Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in aqueous solution. The optimum pH conditions for the adsorption of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) on SMZA exist at pH 6. Surfactant modified zeolite A capable to adsorb either cation Cr(III) or anion Cr(VI).  Adsorption of SMZA on Cr(III) increased from 36.30% to 97.04% with the increase the acidity of pH of 2 to 6. Adsorption SMZA to Cr(VI) is lower than the adsorption of the Cr3+, adsorption increasing from 19.63 to 64.07% with increase pH of 2 to 6
