Abstract

Carbon nanodots (Cdots) are a type of semiconductor carbon-based nanomaterial that is gaining popularity due to its excellent characteristics (e.g., biocompatibility, unique optical properties, low cost, eco-friendly, and high stability). In terms of physicochemical properties for an environmentally friendly sensor application, this material also has an excellent ability to detect heavy metal ions in the biosphere. In this study, we proposed a comprehensive optical characterization to examine the sensitivity of the Cdots probe for three heavy metal ions (i.e., Mn, Pb, and Cr ions) and compare the performance. The results of the experiment revealed that each heavy metal ion reacted differently to the physical properties of Cdots. With the addition of Cr, Mn, and Pb metal ions from the original Cdot solution, which is only 1.45 ns, the lifetime of quenched Cdots is 2.55 ns, 3.15 ns, and 2.15 ns, respectively, according to the TRPL experiments. With additional Cr, Mn, and Pb discovered, the intensity of PL dropped by 5.7%, 14.2%, and 21.4%, respectively. Among these various heavy metal ions, Pb ions show the most affected by the quenching effect in Cdots-based photoluminescence, FTIR, and ultraviolet-visible light absorption characterization. Based on the results of three heavy metal ion experiments, this study can be implemented as the heavy metal ion sensor-based luminescence quenching effect of Cdots.

Abstract

Analysis of minerals and microfabric changes during the burning process of clay in Plambik village, Central Lombok has been carried out using 2 methods: X-Ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope. A brick of dimension (10 x 20 x 5) mm was prepared which was formed through a gypsum mould. After drying it is burned using an electric furnace with temperatures: 800oC, 1000oC and 1100oC. The results show that using the X-ray diffraction method when burned at 800oC there are quartz minerals with several illite peaks, at 1000oC there is only quartz, the illite peaks disappear while at 1100oC the quartz mineral peaks remain accompanied by the appearance of mullit peaks. Then the effect of the firing temperature on the clay microfabric was analyzed by observing the sample with a Scanning Electron Microscope. This test aims to obtain information about the changes in structure and texture that develop during the combustion process and more specifically on the morphology of the particles and their interaction with the development of the vitrification process and the distribution of the shape and size of the pores. The results showed that before burning, the kaolinite and illite particles were randomly distributed with porous aggregates and the grain size was between 1 – 5 microns. During firing at 800oC some parts have undergone melting and welding phases with the development of secondary porosity. Meanwhile, when burning with a temperature of 1100oC, it appears that the welding and smelting processes that occur are wider and the emergence of mullite crystals from the glass matrix.

Abstract

Computational simulations of proton therapy with a pencil beam collimator for craniopharyngioma have been done using MCNP6. A pencil beam was radiated towards cube shaped tumor cells in size 1.2 cm, located at a 5.4 cm depth from the surface of the scalp. A 0.1 cm pencil beam was radiated from the left 19.6 cm from the scalp. The cube of tumor cell is divided into the front layer, middle layer, and back layer. Each layer of the tumor cell is divided into 9 cubicles, thus there are 27 cubicles. Using various energy from 108 MeV to 115 MeV and various intensity of energy for each irradiation, it produces the dose for each cubicle in unit MeV/gram per proton. The best isodoses occurred in 5 variations of energy which is 108.2; 111.2; 113.4; 114.7 and 115 MeV. The healthy organ that received the largest dose of the proton is the brain, it is (7.38±0.01)×10-2 MeV/gram per proton, or only 0.412% compared to the tumor cell dose.

Abstract

Sasirangan Liquid Waste (SLW) contains heavy metals and chemicals with BOD and COD concentrations exceeding the waste water quality standards in accordance with the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation Number P.16 of 2019. The aim of this research is to design and develop a SLW processing system using filter media and composite ceramics made from water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis). Based on previous research, using the filtration method; filtration and adsorption; filtration, adsorption, sedimentation and ozonization. Filtration method can remove solid particles and sediment from water, so the water appears clearer. The water purification process that involves a filtration method using slow sand filter (SSF), which additional processes are needed either before or after the SSF is carried out. Meanwhile, the use of water chestnut has been carried out by several researchers due to its high active carbon content, namely 50.68%. In this research, we combine several methods including filtration, sedimentation, and ozonization. Water chestnut has a bound carbon content of 84.53% after being activated with an H2SO4 activator, where the largest porosity is found in ceramics with activated charcoal composite materials with variations of the H2SO4 activator. Apart from that, chestnut also has a cellulose content of 35.32% so it has the potential to be effective as a ceramic composite material in sasirangan liquid waste processing filters, especially as an adsorbent. The benefits obtained from the results of this research can be a scientific reference for the use of water chestnut as a filter media and composite ceramic.

Abstract

In external beam radiation therapy, the percentage depth dose (PDD) is a main factor for estimation of patient’s dose and dose distribution in target volume, therefore its accurate estimation is important. The purpose of this article is to compare PDDs with the published PDDs of different authors along central axis at different depths and field sizes for cobalt-60 (Co-60) radiotherapy machine at a regional cancer hospital Pakistan. A dedicated water phantom was used for estimation of PDDs at different depths and different field sizes, for Theratron phoenix Co-60 machine. It was observed that for 10×10 cm2 filed size of Co-60 beam mean percent variation in measured PDDs and published PDDs by different authors was -0.29% to 1.13%, which was within acceptable limit of ± 2%. However, for one author who used semi-empirical equation for PDDs calculation, the mean percent variation between measured PDDs and that of the author was -3.23%, 4.69% and 5.88% for 10×10 cm2, 25×25 cm2 and 30×30 cm2 field sizes of Co-60 beam respectively, which were within acceptable limit of   ±10%. A noticeable increase in PDDs was observed with increase of the field size at given depth which shows obvious contribution of secondary scattered radiation. Also measured PDDs were well matched with that of published PDDs of most of the authors i.e. ± 2%, but the measured PDDs were moderately matched with that of PDDs for only one author for some field sizes and some depths i.e. ±10%, which need to be rectified by taking more such data.

Abstract

The noise pollution in residential areas adjacent to double-track railways can significantly disturb the comfort and well-being of residents. The noise originates from passing trains on these double-track railways. The research problem aims to compare the noise levels in the residential area with the standard noise threshold and evaluate the effectiveness of a noise barriers based on waste material called sustainable noise barrier. The effectiveness of reducing noise levels for communities residing near the dual railway lines. The sustainable noise barrier is constructed using waste cardboard and sawdust as sound absorbers for reducing noise from passing trains. The objective of the research is to analyze the noise levels in the residential areas near the dual railway lines, referring to the noise threshold value specified in Kep.MenLH No.48 of 1996, which is 55 dBA. Additionally, the research aims to assess the effectiveness of the sustainable noise barrier in mitigating noise pollution in these residential areas. The research employs a quantitative experimental method, following the SNI 8427 of 2017 standard for measuring residential noise pollution and determining the sustainable noise barrier's effectiveness using Insertion Loss (IL) and Sound Transmission Loss (STL) measurements in both laboratory-scale and existing conditions (alongside the double-track railways). The research findings indicate that the noise levels in residential areas adjacent to dual railway lines exceed the threshold value, reaching 78.08 dBA. However, the sustainable noise barrier proves to be effective in reducing noise pollution by 27 dB at a frequency of 1,000 Hz in the residential areas neighboring the double-track railways. This research suggests that limiting noise disturbances in residental areas bordering railway lines is one solution with noise barriers.
