Abstract

This study aimed to determine the Planning Target Volume (PTV) margin by redefining the equations for systematic and random errors in a cervical cancer case. The research utilized first-fraction radiotherapy position verification data from 37 cervical cancer patients. These data comprised planned and actual positions, with the difference interpreted as the position shift. The systematic and random error equations proposed by the Royal College of Radiologists (2008) were redefined by adapting them to verification data, which were grouped into several PTV types and treated as daily fractions. The PTV margin was then calculated using formulas by Van Herk (2004), Stroom (2002), and ICRU Report 62. The results showed that the largest systematic and random errors occurred in the vertical and longitudinal directions, measuring 0.83 cm and 1.71 cm, respectively. The PTV margin calculated using the Van Herk method was comparatively larger than those obtained using the other two methods. The percentages of position shifts that exceeded the calculated PTV margins in the vertical, longitudinal, and lateral directions were 16%, 43%, and 35%, respectively. These findings indicate that the redefined equations are capable of compensating for the lack of position shift data across all radiotherapy fractions. The redefined approach can provide a more accurate estimation of PTV margins in cervical cancer treatment using single-fraction verification data.

Abstract

Supercapacitors are advanced energy storage devices with high power density and rapid charge–discharge capabilities. This study explores the potential of coconut shell–based activated carbon as an electrode material for supercapacitors. Coconut shell carbon powder was carbonized at temperatures ranging from 400°C to 700°C and chemically activated using 3M KOH for 24 hours. The activated carbon was then filtered, rinsed with distilled water until neutral pH, and dried at 120°C for 4 hours. Characterization was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM images confirmed the formation of uniformly distributed pores, with higher carbonization temperatures leading to increased pore development. BET analysis showed that both surface area and pore volume increased with rising carbonization temperatures. XRD patterns revealed amorphous graphite-like carbon structures, with improved crystallinity at higher temperatures. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of aromatic C=C and C–O functional groups. These results demonstrate that activated carbon derived from coconut shells exhibits favorable physicochemical properties, indicating strong potential as a low-cost and sustainable electrode material for supercapacitor applications.

Abstract

This research aims to calculate thoroughness among data points and analytical simulation curves in discussing corona discharges' (I-V) characteristics. The electrode construction used is the twin towers with dividing angles to the plane (TTDA-P) model in air, with negative DC polarity. An asymmetrical electrical CCP model in the electrode design uses research variations, including active electrode center clamp angles of q = 300, 450, and 600 and active and passive electrode distances (d) of 0.002 m, 0.005 m, and 0.008 m. The simulation curve comes from the analytical formulation of the reduced capacitance type (inserting a multiplying factor k to the sharp corners of the active electrode), with the simulation program being a Python GUI program. The experimental results produced an appropriate error value (t-test value £0.05) and a high percentage of tangent points value. The best curve was achieved at q = 450 and d = 0.008 m, with a t-test value of 0.0313 and the highest percentage of significant tangent points of 92.31%. For all variations q, there is a tendency that the smaller the value of d (the gap length among two electrodes), the greater the deviation distance between the simulation curve and the data points.

Abstract

PT Semen Baturaja, a cement production company in South Sumatra, Indonesia, holds a Mining Business License of 103.4 hectares, of which 64.23% was reclaimed during 2017–2021. However, the revegetation success rate remains low at only 9%, potentially due to excessive soil chromium (Cr) accumulation. This study investigates the application of electrokinetic remediation to reduce Cr concentrations and improve soil conditions for revegetation. The experiment was conducted on soil samples collected from Disposal Area 4 of PT Semen Baturaja, using a laboratory-scale setup with copper electrodes powered by a 20 V direct current, applied continuously for 48 hours. The results showed that Cr ions tend to migrate toward the anode due to electromigration, while redox reactions influence Cr distribution over time. The highest treatment efficiency was observed in segment one (11.123%), and the lowest in segment three (1.651%). These findings demonstrate the potential of electrokinetic remediation as a viable method for enhancing revegetation in Cr-contaminated post-mining soils.

Abstract

Rice is the main source of carbohydrates for Indonesian people and consumed to fulfill the nutritional needs of the body. The most commonly used method to find out nutrient content in rice grain is a chemical analysis based method that quite difficult and requires a considerable time. Therefore, spectroscopic-based measuring methods are the solution of these problems. A preliminary research is conducted to develop an accurate prediction methods of amylose, phenolic and flavonoids content, also elements contained in rice grain. Chemical analysis method used to determine of amylose, phenolic and flavonoid content then used as a validation. The predictive system is carried out using Partial Least Square (PLS) methods to determine amylose, phenolic and flavonoid content based on Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum. Meanwhile, Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) used to figure out the elements contained in the rice. The Classification of rice grain using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method based on FTIR and LIBS Spectrum.  The results of this research, obtained a prediction system to determine levels of amylose, phenolic and flavonoids with the values coefficient of determination 0.95; 0.86; 0.95 and the RMSE value 1.4; 0.72; 0.44. Based on the spectrum of LIBS obtained from 13 types of rice grain, the elements contained in the rice grain are Mg, Fe, Na, K, Ca, C, H and O. The Classification of rice grain based on FTIR and LIBS spectrum obtained, namely High Quality; Premium and Medium.

Abstract

Finding reflection coefficient of seismic trace data is very important to be analyzed in some geological features. Reflection coefficient describes the medium of the subsurface based on Acoustic Impedance (AI) data. Model based seismic inversion is one way that can be used to find reflection coefficient of trace seismic. It needs several steps, like generating calculated trace seismic due to the original one before inversion. Unfortunately, the process is very complicated to reach a best result indicated by error value tends to be zero. While Bayesian MCMC offers the easier way, by setting mean and standard deviation values, it will generate calculated seismic trace data automatically with high similarity to the original one.  In other words, Bayesian MCMC helping the inversion process to be shorter. Finally, we have proven that Bayesian MCMC gives the better result of reflection coefficient of model based seismic inversion method.

Abstract

Observations to determine subsidence potential were conducted in East Aceh, based on sediment characterization using logging data. The study encompassed 9 measurement sites representing 9 villages from 9 sub-districts. The data used obtained from the Aceh Energy and Mineral Resources Service (ESDM). This data is processed to obtain the resistivity value of the subsurface sediment layer. The measurement results were then depicted in 1D profile illustrating the cross-section of subsurface lithology for each measurement point. Subsequently, several measurement points were correlated to generate a 2D bottom image representing two regions, referred to as cross-section A-A' and cross-section B-B'. The correlation outcomes revealed that cross-sectional area A-A', spanning approximately ±50 km from east to west through Cot Geulumpang Village, Java Village, Kuala Lawah Village, Bukit Seroja Village, and Rantau Panjang Village, shows a shallow surface layer consisting mostly of sand and sandy clay soil. The sand layer in this area exhibited a medium to fine size with a configuration of round-shaped particles containing quartz and shell minerals, forming a soft sediment layer. The structure and type of sediment in this area indicate the potential for land subsidence.
