Abstract

The increasing number of population in Kaligarang watershed will cause population pressure that will have a direct impact on land-use change and in turn will have an impact on watershed hydrological characteristics. Watershed management planning as an integral part of land-use and conservation based development is very important and need to be applied. The aims of this research were to analyze land-use changes in Kaligarang watershed, and the impact of land-use changes on watershed hydrological characteristics in Kaligarang. The results of this research showed that in Kaligarang watershed, there was a decrease in forest area of 2.28% and rice field of 13.96%, an increase in resident area of 2.14%, dry land farming of 5.82% and mixed dry land farming of 10.03%. The decreasing forest area caused an increase in runoff coefficien (CRO= 147.5 – 7.06F), an increase in average daily maximum discharge (Qmax(cms) = 79.33 – 4.23 F) and a decrease in baseflow (BF (cms) = -1.65 + 0.36 F)

Abstract

Agarwood has been used widely in various ways, including traditional medicine and art. The usage of agarwood has grown broader in modern times include in therapeutic medicines and perfumery. In this paper the agarwood waste has been explored to be used as a fluid loss control agent to control fluid loss without affecting the drilling fluid rheological properties which are density, pH, viscosity, yield point and gel strength. Agarwood waste was used as an additive in the drilling fluid system due to its unique characteristic. Rheological and filtration measurements were performed on the formulated water-based drilling fluid. Formulations of a base solution of fresh water, sodium hydroxide, bentonite, barite, and xanthan gum were presented. The performance of the agarwood waste as the fluid loss control agent was compared with based fluid formulation and water-based drilling fluid with treating with conventional fluid loss control agent (starch). The filtrate volume of drilling fluid with agarwood waste was about 13 ml while for drilling fluid with conventional fluid loss control agent, starch gave 12 ml of filtrate volume after undergoing filtration test by using LPLT filter press. The performance of drilling fluid with agarwood was efficient as drilling fluid with starch.

Abstract

Fortification is one of solution to alleviate the deficiency of iron. Prevalence of iron deficiency anemia mostly on children under five years, i.e baby instant porridges. Purple sweet potatoes have a potential to be baby instant porridge. The aims of this research was to investigate the effect of fortificant’s type on Fe level as nutritional value, physicochemical properties (bulk density, rehydration capacity, and color) of baby instant porridges made from purple sweet potatoes. This study consists of several stages, which are the stage of making flour, fortification stage, the stage of making instant porridge and phase analysis results. The results show that iron-fortified added to instant baby porridge for nutritional characterization is below to the concentration of additional fortificant. The higher Fe identified on the addition of the iron concentration of 90 ppm (76.12 ppm) and lowest for the addition of concentration of 70 ppm (32.14 ppm). The results of physical properties for bulk density of instant porridge are (0.804 to 0.874 g / ml) showed there is no significant difference between variables and iron fortification no significant effect. Rehydration capacity (1.4 to 1.8 ml/g) with the addition of the iron various variable does not provide significant value changes and provide a lower value than the baby porridge with no fortificant (2 ml / g).

Abstract

Prior information about a financial market is very essential for investor to invest money on parches share from the stock market which can strengthen the economy. The study examines the relative ability of various models to forecast daily stock indexes future volatility. The forecasting models that employed from simple to relatively complex ARCH-class models. It is found that among linear models of stock indexes volatility, the moving average model ranks first using root mean square error, mean absolute percent error, Theil-U and Linex loss function  criteria. We also examine five nonlinear models. These models are ARCH, GARCH, EGARCH, TGARCH and restricted GARCH models. We find that nonlinear models failed to dominate linear models utilizing different error measurement criteria and moving average model appears to be the best. Then we forecast the next two months future stock index price volatility by the best (moving average) model.

Abstract

Inorganic carbon is closely related to the calcification process (CaCO3), which is the main constituent of coral reefs or microorganisms that exist in the oceans such as foraminifera and cocolitoporit. Inorganic carbon is also closely linked to the chemical processes that occur when carbon dioxide gas (CO2) dissolved in water. The research of inorganic carbon in the waters of Beras Basah was carried out in January, February and March 2012. The purpose of this study was to understand the distribution and concentration of total inorganic carbon (CT) in coral reef and seagrass ecosystems as well as the correlation of Beras Basah. The results showed that the concentration of total inorganic carbon (CT) in January average 1166.503 μmol/kgSW, February average 1115.599 μmol/kgSW, and then in March the average 987.443 μmol/kgSW. Distribution patterns of total inorganic carbon (CT) is vectoral, where in January, the concentration of total inorganic carbon (CT) was highest in the Southeast region, was in February in the South and Southeast, while in March shifted to North region of Beras Basah Island. The concentration difference is thought to be influenced by pH and the seasons, tides, biochemical processes, and biological activity.

Abstract

Nanostructured lead-free solder Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) was developed by electrodeposition method at room temperature. Electrolite bath which comprised of the predetermined quantity of tin methane sulfonate, copper sulfate and silver sulfate were added sequentially to MSA solution. The methane sulphonic acid (MSA) based ternary Sn-Ag-Cu bath was developed by using tin methane sulfonate as a source of Sn ions while the Cu+ and Ag+ ions were obtained from their respective sulfate salts. The rate of the electrodeposition was controlled by variation of current density. The addition of the buffer, comprising of sodium and ammonium acetate helped in raising the pH solution. During the experimental procedure, the pH of solution, composition of the electrolite bath, and the electrodeposition time were kept constant. The electrodeposited rate, deposit composition and microstructure were investigated as the effect of current density. The electrodeposited solder alloy was characterized for their morphology using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). In conclusion, vary of current density will play significant role in the surface morphology of nanostructured lead-free solder SAC developed.

Abstract

High temperatur reactor (HTR) attract to be studied due to it has inherent safety characteristics and capabilities to produce energy economically. Design of reactor core in this study is a blend HTR 10 in China with HTR pebble-bed. The reactor has thermal power of 10 MW with inlet and outlet helium temperatures of 250oC and 700oC. HTR design is a cylindrical with helium gas as a coolant and graphite as a moderator. The HTR uses pebble-bed fuel composed a large amount of particles of TRISO in graphite metrics. Kernel radius used to analyse reactor core height in this research is 225 µm with enrichment of 16% in order to achieve critical condition. Reactor criticality is also influenced by the height of active reactor core where pebble-bed fuel is distributed. Calculation of the reactor criticality at any height variations active core is done with MCNP5 modelling techniques. The modelling is done by making the geometry of reactor and pebble-bed which is distributed by using body-centred cubic lattice in the reactor core. From the MCNP5 calculation, the first criticality of HTR can be achieved on the active core height of 150.9012 cm calculated from the bottom active core with criticality value of 1.00312±0.00090. The higher active reactor core is, the more increasing the reactor criticality is. This is occured due to there are many fuel balls of pebble-bed used, so that activity of fission in reactor increases. However, reactor criticality is still in stable condition in each the rise of active core height from critical core height even though reactor reactivity increases 0.01 Δk/k. The minimum of fuel needed to achieve initial criticality (critical core height) is 11,805 pebbles and 8,906 moderators.

Abstract

A new type of mixed matrix membrane consisting of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polyethersulfone (PES) is prepared for biogas purification. PES mixed matrix membrane with and without modification of carbon nanotubes were prepared by a dry/wet phase inversion technique using a pneumatically flat sheet membrane casting machine system. The modified carbon nanotubes were prepared by treating the carbon nanotubes with chemical modification using Dynasylan Ameo (DA) silane agent to allow PES chains to be grafted on carbon nanotubes surface. The results from the FESEM, DSC and FTIR analysis confirmed that chemical modification on carbon nanotubes surface had taken place. Meanwhile, the nanogaps in the interface of polymer and carbon nanotubes were appeared in the PES mixed matrix membrane with unmodified of carbon nanotubes. The modified carbon nanotubes mixed matrix membrane increases the mechanical properties, the productivity and purity of biogas. For PES-modified carbon nanotubes mixed matrix membrane the maximum selectivity achieved for CO2/CH4 is 36.78

Abstract

Significant contribution of non-motorized transport to energy and environment has changed the view of people on walking or cycling as one of transport modes. While promoting mass rapid transport, modern cities tend to promote pedestrianization as well to encourage people to walk instead of relying on motorized transport. Creating pedestrian friendly environment in particular parts of the city, especially in CBD, is one such attempt. This study tries to investigate the correlation between perceptions of the citizens on pedestrian friendly environment (PFE) and their decision on the choices of transport modes. The central business district of Bandung City in Indonesia was chosen as the study area. A questionnaire-based research was used to acquire data on citizens’ perception. Eight variables were employed to understand citizens’ perception on PFE. The result shows that PFE does influence citizens’ decision on their transport modes choice.
