Abstract

Pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables pose a danger to human health if consumed for a certain period. This requires appropriate technology for household scale and is environmentally friendly. Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent capable of degrading pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables. Ozone is a green chemical compound because it does not produce harmful derivative compounds, and is even friendly to the environment. The development of a mini ozone generator with DBD technology has been successfully carried out. The DDBD reactor is made of Pyrex glass with a length of 10 cm and an outer diameter of 4 cm. The reactor uses electrodes made of copper plates. The outer electrode is 13 cm long and 5 cm wide, while the inner electrode is 10 cm long and 5 cm wide. Optimization of the mini ozone generator is carried out using high voltage AC pulses whose pulse frequency can be varied from 30 to 60 Hz with 10 Hz intervals. The free air flow rate was varied at 0.2 – 0.8 lpm with an interval of 0.2 lpm. The optimum ozone production of 480 mg/l was obtained at a voltage setting of 2.8 kV and a frequency of 50 Hz and a flow rate of 0.2 lpm. In this setting, the DDBD reactor consumes 9.32 watts of power. The development of mini ozone generator technology has the potential to be applied on a household scale because of the small reactor size and low power consumption.

Abstract

The increasing mobility of motorized vehicles, such as trucks, has positively contributed to regional growth and connectivity in Indonesia. However, this development has also introduced significant challenges, particularly road damage caused by overloaded vehicles. Such damage not only jeopardizes the safety of road users but also incurs substantial economic costs due to infrastructure maintenance and repair. This research utilizes a real-time Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) monitoring system based on optoelectronic technology and a WhatsApp gateway. By combining the precision of optoelectronic sensors with the accessibility of communication through WhatsApp, this system aims to accurately and promptly detect overloaded vehicles. The study focuses on integrating the real-time WIM monitoring system with optoelectronic devices and WhatsApp-based communication. The methodology involves applying varying loads to the fiber optic sensor system, ranging from 1 kg to 10 kg, with loading time variations of 100 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms, 750 ms, and 1000 ms. The programming aspect uses Arduino and Virtual Basic (VB) to support the hardware system for real-time detection by the optoelectronic components. The results demonstrate that the developed fiber optic sensor performs optimally, as evidenced by the data trendline showing alignment at the same point during both ascending and descending conditions. Furthermore, the system successfully provides user notifications via WhatsApp when detecting threshold data at a load of 6 kg crossing the fiber optic sensor system.

Abstract

Zircaloy-4 (Zr-4) is used as a fuel cladding material in Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). Zr-4 as a cladding material works in extreme conditions in pressurized water up to 150 atm at 325 ˚C. In addition, the refuelling process in the reactor requires surface protection of the clay material to minimize corrosion and wear. One of the raising methods to enhance the corrosion resistance of the Zr-4 is by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). Characteristics of the ceramic oxide layer produced by PEO are influenced by current density, type and composition of the electrolyte, and voltage mode. One of the challenges in the PEO development on the Zr-4 substrate is a high porosity with a range of 5%-20% and the low number (below 6%) of t-ZrO2 phases in the inner and outer layers. Optimizing the electrical parameters is necessary to overcome this problem. The results of the literature study show that the cathodic current at the AC voltage plays an important role in determining the resulting plasma characteristics. Low duty cycle (cathodic current> 50%) produce plasma with high density, resulting in a low porosity layer. Oppositely, high duty cycle (cathodic current <50%) produced high content of t-ZrO2 increase the mechanical resistance. Two-step PEO is beneficial in combining the low and high duty cycle to obtain the benefit of each step.

Abstract

The aims of this study to identify faults and identify subsurface lithology using magnetic anomaly data in the Kulonprogo. In the acquisition was carried out using a Proton Procession Magnetometer (PPM) Geotron G5 with 62 measurement points and a distance of ±1 km between point. Measurements were made on Kebobutak (Tmok), Aluvium (Qa), Andesit (a), and Sentolo (Tmps) formations. The total magnetic field data processing is done with several correction, namely diurnal correction, IGRF, reduce to equator, upward continuation at an altitude of 2000 m, and reduce to pole, and 2D modelling using the forward modelling method. The result of the analysis obtained magnetic field anomaly values in the range of values -400 to 950 nT. The 2D modelling shows that the research area is composed of 4 dominating rock types, namely andesite rock with a susceptibility value of 94 x 10-3, andesite breccia rock with a susceptibility value of 29 x 10-3, clay rock with a susceptibility value of 0,013 x 10-3, and sandstone with a susceptibility value of 5 x 10-3. The identification result show the existence of faults line on Mount Watuaglik, Mount Kamal, and Mount Bodag.

Abstract

Indonesia has the largest nickel reserves in the world, so proper exploration is crucial to map the potential and utilization of this resource. Exploration of nickel laterite is carried out by mapping the boundaries of the laterite zone and bedrock as a prospect zone for further exploration. One of the methods used is Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) combined with drill data. The principle of the ERT method involves injecting electric current into the ground to measure variations in subsurface resistivity. These variations in resistivity are then used to map the lithological distribution. ERT data, used as the primary data source to obtain an inversion model, is combined with inline borehole data, involving a total of 8 ERT lines and 23 borehole data points. The integration of both ERT and borehole data characterizes zones of nickel laterite and bedrock. Nickel laterite zones consist of saprolite and limonite lithology, and there is a saprock zone as a transition between the nickel laterite zone and the bedrock. Research in the "PHO" Block shows that resistivity values range from 10.9 Ωm to 1500 Ωm, divided into four main zones: saprolite (<150 Ωm), limonite (150 -700 Ωm), saprock (700 -1000 Ωm), and bedrock (>1000 Ωm). The nickel laterite zones are primarily composed of the saprolite with high Ni, high weathering, and porous zone, limonite zones with high FeO2 and low conductive material, and saprock zones that are transition zones of the nickel laterite with low weathering, high fracture, and bedrock. The boundary between the laterite zone and bedrock is predominantly found at depths ranging from 31.1 meters to over 49.9 meters, indicating the presence of bedrock. The limonite zones, which accumulate to more than 20 meters in thickness, are evenly distributed, with lower accumulations in the south and northeast. Thinner saprolite zones were found at depths exceeding 20 meters, while saprock and bedrock were detected starting from a depth of 13.4 meters and extending to over 49.9 meters. The integration of the ERT method and borehole data provides a clearer understanding of the lithologic distribution and the boundary between the laterite and bedrock zones.

Abstract

In the gravity method, information about mass density value is very important because it will influence the characteristic of the 1-D gravity acceleration graph. However, it is quite difficult to guess the mass density value so that is suitable to the 1-D acceleration graph. This is called “a priori” information. Trial and error way is one way to solve this problem. It is a very random value guess also. To make sure that the initial guess of mass density is a good parameter, Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) can be used. It generates many possibilities from the guess value and then these possibilities will be selected to the best one by likelihood way. The validation is expressed by the random graph as a consequence of the iteration number step of the possibilities. This research is started by using certain values of mass density to create a synthetic model for the field data in Banggai Sula because the area has a complex geology. The synthetic model is used because the gravity forward modelling equation has the sinusoidal form. After Bayesian MCMC is applied to the initial mass density value, it will produce a new mass density value or the estimation value with its response to the 1-D gravity acceleration synthetic graph. Finally, this information will be very useful to create the 2D or 3D inverse modelling in Gravity.

Abstract

Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) is a derivative of graphene that has undergone the removal or reduction of its oxygen groups. This study performed the synthesis and characterization of rGO as a solid-state electrolyte in batteries in order to assess the conductivity of rGO and its ability to store electrical currents and voltages. The rGO was synthesized by the Hummers method and the reduction of graphene oxide with a zinc reductor. Graphite oxide was first synthesized by oxidizing graphite with H2SO4 dan KMnO4. This graphite oxide was ultrasonically exfoliated and treated with a Zn reductor to produce rGO in powdered form. The rGO was characterized with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), an LCR-meter, and a Digital Multimeter. This identified a diffraction pattern in rGO with a 2θ of 25.85° and a d-spacing of 3.444 Å with 48.76 % crystallinity. FTIR observation on rGO exhibited O-H vibrations at a wavelength of 3431.6 cm-1, C=O at 1722.43 cm-1, C=C (1573.91 cm-1), and C-O (1080.14 cm-1). The rGO was observed to have a triple-layered morphology at 10000x magnification. Conductivity for the rGO was identified as 0.000357005 S/cm, while the generated voltage was 1.21 V with a current of 3.55 mA.

Abstract

This study presents an analytical framework for a generalized fractional formulation of Newton’s law of cooling based on a newly defined generalized fractional (GF) Laplace transform. The proposed formulation extends existing fractional models by incorporating both a fractional order and a non-negative continuous kernel function, thereby providing increased modelling flexibility and a more general representation of memory-dependent thermal processes. A rigorous definition of the GF Laplace transform is established, together with its fundamental properties, including linearity, existence conditions, and operational rules for generalized fractional derivatives and integrals. Within this framework, the classical Newton’s cooling equation is reformulated in terms of the GF derivative, and an explicit analytical solution is obtained using the proposed transform method. The resulting solution generalizes the classical exponential decay law and reduces to the standard model under appropriate parameter selection. In addition, the effects of the fractional order and kernel function on cooling dynamics were examined through several representative cases. The analysis showed that both parameters played a significant role in determining the rate of temperature decay. In particular, smaller fractional orders lead to stronger memory effects and slower convergence, whereas the choice of the kernel function determines the effective time scale of the system. These results demonstrate the capability of the generalized fractional framework to describe a wider range of thermal behaviors than classical and existing fractional models.

Abstract

Experimental methods using microtremor recordings can identify site effects in moderate seismic activity areas with many ground motion records and high noise levels in urban or industrial contexts. Using observation data from several sites makes this survey easy to get consistent results. This study uses microtremors, Vp/Vs ratio, Poisson's ratio, and Vs30 analysis to identify thermal aquifer sources and recharge sites around the Kendalisodo geothermal manifestation. Vp/Vs ratios were calculated at 24 noise measurement locations. The Vp/Vs ratio and its alterations are examined.  This study also examined the distribution of VS30, the predominant single-value metric that most accurately characterises seismic soil. Poisson's ratio varies from 0.20 to 0.49, with a 0.45 anomaly associated with the geothermal spring signifying fluid-saturated regions. The Vs30 values are approximately 1300 m/s near the geothermal manifestation, indicating the presence of stiff to strongly consolidated igneous rock, as per geological evaluations. Moreover, reduced values of the Vp/Vs ratio indicate the presence of high-porosity regions that enable the movement of geothermal fluids. The study's results become clearer after looking at the Poisson ratio distribution, which shows a value of 0.45 near the manifestation. Multiplying the compressional and shear wave velocities shows an area with a lot of holes in the rock. The bedrock type, based on geological data, matches the shear wave velocity value around the manifestation, which means that hard rock, specifically igneous rock, is pushing through.

Abstract

The southern Java subduction zone is one of the major tsunami hazard sources in Indonesia due to its potential to generate large megathrust earthquakes. This study evaluates tsunami hazards from a Mw 8.7 megathrust earthquake worst-case scenario using numerical modeling with COMCOT v1.7. A five-layer nested grid system is applied to simulate tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation from the Indian Ocean to the Pancer - Puger coast, Jember Regency, Indonesia. Earthquake source parameters are defined using the Wells and Coppersmith empirical relationships, while initial seafloor deformation is calculated using the Okada elastic dislocation model. Tsunami wave dynamics are analyzed using Virtual Tsunami Gauges (VTGs). The results indicate that Puger Kulon and Mojosari villages experience the most severe impacts, with large wave amplitudes, strong currents, and inundation exceeding 20 m depths. Tsunami arrival time is about 21 to 27 minutes, providing a very limited evacuation window. The ETH (Estimated Tsunami Height) and ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) maps show that low-lying, open coastal plains act as primary pathways for tsunami penetration. These findings emphasize the high vulnerability of the Pancer coast - Puger and the need for risk-based mitigation, improved evacuation planning, and strengthened local early warning systems.
