Abstract

In this report we have succeeded to map various cooking oils using change of fluorescence polarization. Various cooking oils consisted of several vegetables oils and animal oils (chicken oil and lard) were used in the experiment, and some oils were measured in two different times. The change of polarization angle &tetha; was measured as the difference between linear polarized green pointer laser as incoming light and fluorescence light using a pair of polarizers. The direct measurement of fluorescence polarization gives a new unique result of critical polarizer’s angle φc that can group vegetable cooking oils into group 1 (at φc = 10o for VCO, olive, and soybean), group 2 (at φc = 20o for palm, corn and rice bran), group 3 (at φc = 30o for sunflower and canola), and also animals cooking oils into group 4 (at φc = 20o for chicken oil), and group 5 (at φc = 40o for lard). Mostly cooking oils can be distinguished using modified maps. The large difference φc and &tetha; of lard from vegetable oils provides an advantage to develop for testing halal oil due to lard contamination. The capability of this method has benefits, at least, as a complement and simple method in comparison to other expensive sophisticated instruments such as fluorescence spectroscopy or GCMS methods with their derivation’s instruments.

Abstract

Nowadays, a dose estimate for individual patients undergoing CT examination is carried out using the metric of size-specific dose estimate (SSDE), which is calculated by multiplying a volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) and a correction factor that is a function of patient size. Two CTDIvol values are based on head and body PMMA phantoms. There are also two values of correction factors (k), both for head and body PMMA phantoms. The purpose of this study was to compare the SSDE values calculated using head and body PMMA phantoms with their corresponding correction factors (k). The CTDIvol values were derived from the ImPACT 1.04 software for 12 CT scanners: Sensation 4, Sensation 16, Sensation 64, Light Speed, Light Speed 16, Light Speed VCT, Secura, Brilliance 16, Brilliance 64, Asteion Dual, Aquilion 4, and Aquilion 16. The size of the patients who underwent CT examination was characterized by a water-equivalent diameter (Dw) from 10 cm to 45 cm. The results indicated that the differences in SSDE values based on head and body CTDIvol were within 20%. Thus, the SSDE value can be calculated using the head or body CTDIvol bases with corresponding k value.

Abstract

Bolus is a material that equal with the tissue and functions to increase the dose radiation in surface area in external radiotherapy, which uses electron beam. In this research, bolus was made using silicone rubber (SR) material, which was mixed with silicacomposites material. The bolus with a dimension of 12 x 12 x 0,5 cm3 was successfully made with a various amount of silica composite (2%, 4%, 6%). Bolus was then characterized using linear accelerator (LINAC) with an electron beam for percentage of surface dose (PSD) and using CT-Scan to measurement relative electron density (RED). The energy of electron beam used in this research was5 and 7 MeV. The result shows that RED value increased with increasing the amount of silica composite with higher RED value amounted to 1.186. PSD value increased with increasing the amount of silica composite, higher PSD value of energy in 5 and 7 MeV amounted 106.82% and 106.82% and 100.34%, respectively. The result certified that the silica composite material can increase the percentage of surface dose on electron beam radiotherapy.

Abstract

This study presents the terahertz (THz) emission of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-grown Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) on surface textured p-type Silicon (p- Si) (100) substrates. Surface texturing was achieved by anisotropic wet chemical etching using 5% wt Potassium Hydroxide (KOH): Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (50:1) solution for 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. Reflectivity measurements for the textured p-Si(100) substrates indicated that the overall texturing increases with longer etching times. Raman spectroscopy of the post-growth samples confirmed GaAs growth. The THz emission intensities were the same order of magnitude. The GaAs grown on p-Si(100) textured for 60 minutes exhibited the most intense THz emission attributed to the increased absorption from a larger surface-to-volume ratio due to surface texturing. All GaAs on textured p-Si(100) samples had frequency bandwidth of ~2.5 THz.

Abstract

An integrated polarizer was designed as an alternative test tool to evaluate quality of cooking oils. Integrated Polarizer was composed of light source with wavelength of 532 ± 10 nm, polarizer, analyser, cuvette, electrodes, and high voltage source. In this research, the tool works based on the fluorescence polarization method. Measurements were made by observing the fluorescence polarization angle changes that occur and by applying an external electric field at the samples using high voltage of 0-9 kV in the parallel plate. The results show that the expired cooking oil has a greater polarization angle than the edible cooking oil. The results also show that the change in the polarization angle will increase in proportion to the increase of the heating time. The condition of saturated fatty acids in each sample has an effect on the change of polarization angle.

Abstract

Water consumption is very high, especially in urban areas. This means a good business opportunity for small and medium enterprises. Those enterprises, therefore, require an automatic and affordable device that can fill water into bottles. Raspberry Pi is the center of the control system in designing this automatic bottle filling device. This is because Raspberry Pi comes a with GPIO pin that is used as an input-output controller. GPIO pin receives signal input from switches and sensors that are then processed using Python programming language to drive an actuator and a solenoid valve. Subsequent hardware testing includes tests for water sensor, director motor, alternating motor, and solenoid valve. It is found that the water sensor works at a voltage of 4.18 V and that The DC motor works at 13.92 V. It is also found that the DC motor moves back and forth at 34.77 V when it is moving up, and at -34.77 V, when it is moving down. Meanwhile, the solenoid valve is found to work at 224.9 V. Therefore; it’s very possible to use Raspberry Pi as the center of a control system for an automatic bottle filling device.

Abstract

Generation of efficient terahertz (THz) pulses was experimentally made by tilted pump pulse front scheme with a Mg-doped LiNbO3 crystal. In this study, a spitfire laser (Ti:sapphire laser, 800 nm, 3 mJ, 1 kHz) was used as an optical source for the generation and detection of THz pulses. The electro-optic (EO) detection optics consisting of a ZnTe crystal (1 mm in thickness) and a balanced photodetector was used. To obtain optimum THz characteristics and pump to THz power conversion efficiency, the image of the grating was made coincides with the tilted pump pulse front. The maximum THz electric field of 8.5 kV/cm and the frequency bandwidth of 2.5 THz were achieved by using pump pulse energy of 2.4 mJ and pump pulse width of 100 fs. The THz energy of 4.15 μJ was obtained and pump-to-THz conversion efficiency was estimated to be approximately 1.73 x 10-3.
