Abstract

The thickness of the carotid artery intima media / intima-media thickness (IMT) is one of atherosclerosis markers. Atherosclerosis is one of the causes of ischemic stroke. Some studies suggest that low folate intake is predicted to affect the atherosclerotic process, but this remains controversial. Our objective is to analyze the relationship between folate intake with changes in the internal carotid artery IMT after ischemic stroke patients.The study is one group pretest posttest design with 72 post ischemic stroke subjects from neurology polyclinic of Kariadi Hospital, from June to December 2013. Folate intake was measured by Food Frequency Questionnaire and the internal carotid artery IMT by duplex ultrasonography. Measurements were taken at two periods with 6 months interval. Other factors that affect atherosclerosis consisting of age, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus. The analysis in this study using Spearman correlation, chi-square and logistic regression. Resultwas significant if the p value were <0.05.There were 44 male subjects (61.1%) and 28 female subjects (38.9%). The mean age was 61.6 (SD = 7.99) years. The mean intake of folate was 178.10 (SD = 38.875) mg / day. Median serum folic acid level 8.43 (4.96 to 55.01) NML / L. The mean change in ICA IMT was 0.10 (SD = 0.156) mm. Folate intake was not correlated with serum levels of folic acid. Serum folic acid levels are not correlated with changes in the internal carotid artery IMT. There was correlation between the risk factors of age, BMI, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia with changes in the internal carotid artery IMT.

Abstract

This study investigates the CO2 separation performance of a hybrid membranes flat sheet based on polyimide incorporated with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) particles. CNTs was selected and its loading were a 1 wt% in total solid. The hybrid composite membranes were fabricated in order to increase their separation performance for the gaseous mixture of CO2 and CH4. Hybrid Composite  membrane incorporated carbon nanotubes were mannufactured  by the dry-wet phase inversion technique using flat sheet membrane casting machine system,  in which the CNTs were embedded into the polyimide membrane and the resulting membranes were characterized. The results from the FESEM, DSC and FTIR analysis confirmed that chemical modification on carbon nanotubes surface had taken place. Sieve-in-a-cage’ morphology observed shows the poor adhesion between polymer and unmodified CNT. The results revealed that the good multi-wall carbon nanotubes dispersion leads to enhanced gas permeation properties. It is also concluded that addition of carbon nanotubes particles into the matrix of Polyimide polymer has significant effect on the membrane structure and properties.

Abstract

The corrosion behaviour of the intermetallic compounds Ni3(Si,Ti) (L12: single phase), has been investigated using an immersion test, polarization method, scanning electron microscope in 0.5 kmol/m3 H2SO4 solution at 303 K.  Moreover, the corrosion behaviour of austenitic stainless steel type 304 was studied under the same experimental conditions as reference. It was found that the intergranular attack and uniform attack were observed on Ni3(Si,Ti) after thermomechanical and annealing processes (1173K and 1273K) respectively in the immersion test. From the immersion test and polarization curves, all annealed Ni3(Si,Ti) had less corrosion resistance compared to type 304. In addition, Ni3(Si,Ti) was difficult to form a stable passive film, but not for type 304.

Abstract

Gembrong goat are mainly found in eastern part of Bali Island, especially in the village of Tumbu, Karangasem. Throughout Indonesia these goats are found no more than 50 heads. This condition puts Gembrong goat in a critical status that indicates the need of emergency and quick action. The present study was carried out to assess the characteristic of this breed and to preserve it through some proposed action plan.  Information was obtained by personal observation and discussion with the leader of farmer group.  Body weight (BW) and various body measurement were taken from 15 head of Gembrong goat. In general, the color of Gembrong goat body is white, or partly brown or solid brown. The average body weight is of 23.2 kg for females and 30.7 kg for males.  The averages Body length of males is 60 cm, height 58.2 cm, and 14.4 cm ear length in males, and in females body length is 56.2 cm, height 55.1 cm and ear length 14.2 cm. To preserve Gembrong goat population from extinction collaborative activities is needed, namely: (1) multiplication of existing Gembrong goat population, (2) Rescuing animal genetic material and (3) up-grading female Kacang goat with Gembrong male goat as to achieve 99% Gembrong goat genetic composition.

Abstract

This paper describes the Batang Hari Irrigation prospect to meet the electricity needs in its surrounding area in order to increase the electrical service for every level society. The use of Batang Hari irrigation is far from its capacity. Un-used water and infrastructures from Batang Hari irrigation can be used to generate hydro-electric. Based on  the results of this study, it can be concluded that the Batang Hari Irrigation can be used to generate electricity power up to  1.6 MW. This hydro power service can increase the level of electric service in West Sumatra Province more than 1%

Abstract

Safety is a major concern in the design, operation and development of a nuclear reactor. One aspect of nuclear reactor safety factor is thermal-hydraulics aspect. In a PWR-type nuclear power plant has been used lighter fluid coolant is water or H2O. In this research, using nanofluid Al2O3-Water with volume fraction of (1%), (2%) and also (3%), used as a cooling fluid in a nuclear reactor core with sub channel PWR fuel element rectangular arrangement. This research was carried out modeling of fuel elements are arranged rectangular, then performed numerical simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code. In order to obtain the characteristic pattern of flow velocity of each fluid, the fluid temperature distribution along the cylinder wall temperature distribution of the fuel element. Then analyzed the heat transfer in a nuclear reactor core with sub channel PWR fuel element rectangular arrangement, including heat transfer coefficient, Nusselt number (Nu), as well as heat transfer correlations. Heat transfer correlation for nanofluid Al2O3-Water (1%), (2%) and also (3%) proved to core of PWR nuclear reactor fuel element sub channel rectangular arrangement with the Reynolds number (Re) is stretched, namely: 404 096 <Re <423 084 and with constant heat flux is 2600 W / m2, and the composition ratio (pitch / diameter) 1.33.
