Abstract

The karst mountain area in Buayan and Ayah subdistricts is a mountainous area that stretches from North to South and ends in the South coast region. In this area, many springs are found which are a source of clean water for residents. The existence of springs in the area is an indicator of the existence of underground rivers flowing under the mountainous area, this is also reinforced by the presence of interconnected caves and the existence of river flows in these caves. Analysis the presence of underground river flows in the Karst mountain area in the study area can be identified by looking at the type of rock formations that dominate the area. The density contrast shown through the residual gravity data also shows changes in rock formations related to the presence of water sources in the study area. GGMPlus data was obtained from forward modeling in order to get a residual map. This study shows that rock formations in the Karst area in the study area conform to the topographical shape.

Abstract

Thorax radiography examination in pediatric patients is one of the most frequent examinations because of many abnormalities that occur in the thorax and have a high probability at children's age. Pediatric patients are assisted by a companion from the adult patient's family. Calculation and measurement of the radiation dose received by the companion are very important as they are in the examination room with the patient during the imaging process. And no matter how small the radiation dose received by the companion, there will be an opportunity for stochastic effect. The Indonesian Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency regulation Number 4 of the Year 2020 on Radiation Safety in the Use of X-Ray Machines in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, regulates the dose received by patient companions must be less than 5 mSv. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the exposure factor and the radiation dose received by the patient's companion. The TLDs used to measure the radiation dose was placed on the companion's chest. The radiation dose was calculated using the Klein-Nishina formula. The results show that the dose received by the companion ranged from 0.39 × 10-5 mSv to 4.64 × 10-5 mSv, which is much lower than the permissible dose.

Abstract

This paper has carried out active and non-linear optical characterizations of motor vehicle lubricants. The samples used were three two-wheeled vehicle oil with SAE labels: 10W-40, 20W-50, and 10W-30 without pre-treatment. The active optical property (natural polarization) was measured as a function of the polarizer angle without external field interference. Meanwhile, non-linear optical properties (electro-optical polarization) used changes in the polarization of light as a function of the potential difference imposed on the sample. The light sources used were a green pointer laser (532 nm) and a red pointer laser (632 nm). The results showed that the oil has active and non-linear optical properties. The natural polarization characteristic produces two polarization peaks at 30° and 60° on both wavelengths and holds to all samples. It indicates that the dimensions and shape of the molecules in all samples are identical. It is also shown by electro-optical polarization, where the change in polarization acts as a quadratic function of the potential difference with the concentric curves of the three samples, indicating identical molecules. With electro-optical polarization, the total polarization is enhanced without changing the active optical properties in the sample. It gives an advantage for developing this method as a tracer and evaluator of the molecules of other relevant materials.

Abstract

It is essential to determine the absolute output dose of Co-60 source in the radiation treatment periodically. It is because overdosage may cause radiation hazards whereas under dosage may lead to the unsatisfactory treatment of cancer. The current study is focused on the consistency of monthly dose output verification of the cobalt-60 Teletherapy unit which should be within ±2% as per international standards. In the present study, the measured and calculated dose rate of the Co-60 teletherapy unit at Nuclear Medicine Oncology and Radiotherapy Institute Nawabshah (NORIN) for the last 6 years is analyzed. The dose measurement was done in water phantom 30×30×30 cm3 at 80 cm Source to Surface Distance with 5cm depth by using calibrated electrometer and PTW ionization chamber. The measured output dose rate obtained by actual dosimetry is within ±2% of the dose rate calculated by the decay method and the deviation lies within the permissible limit as prescribed by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), International Commission on Radiological Units and Measurement (ICRUM)and American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). The variation in measurements obtained is within the tolerable limits according to standard protocols and codes. Thus, our study shows a homogenous trend in the dose rate of the Co-60 teletherapy machine.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to increase the effectiveness of slag cleaning in the cast iron smelting process using an induction furnace. This study resulted in the calculation of the terminal velocity of the slag emerging to the surface of the induction furnace based on Stokes' Law approach for each slag that appears during the cast iron smelting process. For each cast iron casting, three samples were taken based on the fastest time on the very light slag, the slag’s time for the heaviest slag, and the extreme time for comparison. The results of each sample are tested for characterization such as shape, size, and chemical composition of each sample which are then adjusted to the calculations that have been made. The characterization was analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electroscope, and energy dispersive spectroscopy microanalysis. The results show that the Stokes law approach to predict the slag reaching the surface gets the appropriate result that all the slag reaches the surface at time t = 230 s. The slag that appears at time t = 300 s is the slag formed due to the interaction of the liquid with the surface which is not the slag that occurs from the raw material used. This study succeeded in minimizing the formation of slag in each casting of cast iron using an induction furnace.
