Abstract

This study aims to cluster and visualize the earthquake data on a geographical map to determine earthquakes' characteristics using the k-means algorithm. Cluster analysis using the k-means algorithm was carried out on the earthquake data. K-means algorithm is familiar and is one of the well-known techniques to have been applied in cluster analysis. One of Its advantages in cluster analysis is scaling large datasets, for example, earthquake data. The data used in this study is earthquake data in the West Nusa Tenggara from 1991 to 2021. Applying the proposed k-means algorithm, the optimal number of clusters (k) used in this clustering is 2, based on the highest silhouette score of 0.749. The cluster analysis on the geographical map showed that the epicenters of the earthquakes were pretty spread out before 2018, and the number of earthquakes in the eastern region of West Nusa Tenggara is more than in the western area. However, in 2018, the clusters were all bunched in the northern Lombok region. There were a few earthquakes in the west region in 2018, but they happened before August 5. Even after 2019, most earthquakes continue to occur, with the epicenters clustered close to the northern Lombok region

Abstract

Monitoring the water level in the open channels of the regional water utility company needs to be carried out to ensure the availability of raw water to be processed. This research focuses on making a prototype of a water level monitoring system in an open channel utilizing the WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) component as an application of the IoT (Internet of Things) concept. Monitoring the water level in the open channel is carried out using the infrared sensor GP2Y0A02KF0Y. The real-time measurement results are then sent using XBee wireless communication, then processed by the Raspberry Pi to be saved to a database and displayed on the website. The measurement data can be presented on the website in graphs and tables. The GP2Y0A02YK0F sensor has a measurement error of 1.02% with a correlation coefficient of 0.9998. The average delay in sending data to the website is 1 second. The monitoring system can work well when measuring the water level in an open channel. The advantages of this research are that the instrument used has a high level of accuracy at an affordable price, uses low power, is easy to operate, and can store and present real-time data

Abstract

Calcium is an essential nutrient the human body needs to control blood pressure and maintain strong bones and teeth. One type of calcium that is often consumed and safe for health is calcium carbonate. It can obtain this material from chicken eggshell waste, where it is known that the CaCO3 content is 95%. Therefore, it conducted this research to see the phase, functional group, absorbance level, and energy band gap of CaCO3 samples. CaCO3 was synthesized using the calcination method, in which the egg shells were first soaked in sodium hypochlorite, then dried at 250°C for 10 minutes, and CaCO3 powder was obtained. Then the powder was characterized by XRD, FTIR, and UV-Vis. The results of XRD analysis showed that the calcite phase of CaCO3 was 100% according to the JCPDS PDF of calcite (96-901-6707) with a crystalline size of CaCO3 of 22.6 nm. The results of FTIR of CaCO3 samples at the absorption peak of 4000-500 cm-1 identified the functional groups of Ca-O, C-O, -CH2, and O-H. CaCO3 samples can absorb light at wavelengths of 237.1 nm, 251.5 nm, and 289.7 nm, which have an energy band gap of 3.91 eV. Thus, using this simple calcination method, the CaCO3 sample obtained from the extraction of chicken egg shells can later be applied in the medical field.

Abstract

The spread of diseases caused by bacteria seriously threatens human health. Alternative materials with antibacterial effects are needed to overcome this problem, such as Fe3O4/ZnO. This study aims to determine the activity of the antibacterial inhibition zone on Fe3O4/ZnO nanocomposites. The Fe3O4/ZnO nanocomposite fabrication used the ultrasonication wave method. Characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transforms Infrared (FTIR), and antibacterial activity tests. The results of the XRD analysis showed that the average crystal size was about 42 nm for Fe3O4, 36 nm for ZnO, and 39 nm for Fe3O4/ZnO. The FTIR results on the nanocomposite showed the characteristics of the Fe-O group at the absorption peak of 874.93 and 691.29 cm-1, while at 436.56 cm-1 indicated the presence of Zn-O compound bonds. The Fe3O4/ZnO nanocomposite with a weight ratio (1:10) showed good effectiveness in inhibiting S. aureus and E. coli bacteria at concentrations of 0.8 mg/m and 1 mg/ml. Meanwhile, in E. coli bacteria, the average diameter of the inhibition zone was relatively low. Thus Fe3O4/ZnO nanocomposite has the potential to be applied in antibacterial applications

Abstract

Nickel-doped Zinc Oxide (Zn(1-x)Ni(x)O) nanoparticles have been synthesized by the chemical coprecipitation method. The structure and characteristic of synthesized Ni doped ZnO nanoparticles ware analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. Crystallite sizes and lattice strain of all samples were calculated using the Scherrer’s formula, Uniform Deformation Model (UDM) and Halder-Wagner (H-W) method. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed hexagonal cubic structure of Ni-doped ZnO nanoparticles. Also, the crystallite size of the nanoparticles reduces as the nickel concentration increase. The result showed the average crystallite size calculated by Scherrer’s formula (25-29 nm) was smaller than crystallite size using UDM method (51-63) the largest average crystallite size and H-W method (42-47 nm). The lattice strain increases with decreasing crystallite sizes value. The crystal size Ni- doped ZnO nanoparticles decreased with increasing dopant concentration.

Abstract

The study evaluated a variety of material alternatives including wood, bamboo, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), and ceramics for use in high-performance paddleboard. The selection process considers factors such as strength, density, cost, and durability with a focus on the most relevant material criteria for the product. The weighted addition method is used to evaluate and rank several alternative materials that have been selected based on these criteria. Wood and bamboo are chosen for their sustainability, CFRP for their superior strength-to-weight ratio, and ceramics for their resistance to extreme conditions. The study found that CFRP had the highest score of around 85.40 due to its superior strength and lightweight. The framework proposed in this study could provide tools for rowing teams to optimize paddle materials so that they offer the potential for increased speed and performance in the competition.

Abstract

South Sumatra had coal production through PT Bukit Asam Tbk, which had coal production since 1950. Tanjung Enim Steam Power Plant (PLTU) is the largest coal ash producer because coal is the primary fuel. Coal combustion by-products include coal fly ash (CFA) and coal bottom ash (CBA). The current utilization of the CFA Tanjung Enim Steam Power Plant is for a cement mixture of PT Semen Baturaja and planting media. This work attempts to optimize zeolite synthesis from CFA by examining the effects of hydrothermal duration on reducing coal waste. This research studies the effect of hydrothermal time with time variations of 5, 12, and 24 on the morphology and phase of zeolite obtained. CFA from the Tanjung Enim Steam Power Plant contains SiO₂ and Al₂O₃, which account for 47.7% and 28.7% of the total composition, respectively. The SEM characterization result shows that the synthesized zeolite forms aggregates with a particle size of about 8-15 μm. Based on XRD characterization of CFA hydrothermal time of 5 hours, the dominant phase is the gibbsite phase, but there is a sodalite phase. The 12-hour hydrothermal time showed the formation of quartz, gibbsite, and sodalite phases. The 24-hour hydrothermal time shows that the dominant phase is sodalite, but there are gibbsite and quartz phases. The peak of the quartz phase decreases the longer the hydrothermal time. In this study, the duration of the hydrothermal process affects the formation of the zeolite phase.

Abstract

Hyperbilirubinemia is a condition of a high bilirubin level in newborns causing a yellowish color on newborns’ skin and sclera. One of the treatment methods commonly used for hyperbilirubinemia is phototherapy in which newborns are exposed to visible light, especially within the green-blue spectrum. This study aimed to design a prototype of a portable phototherapy unit for newborns with hyperbilirubinemia. The phototherapy unit was designed by using a Surface Mounting Device Light Emitting Diode (SMD LED) with a wavelength of 400-520 nm as a light source which was attached to a fabric inside a box made of acrylic. The SMD LED strips were arranged with a spacing of 5 cm between the SMD LED arrays. The system was equipped with a monitoring system using SHT11 as a temperature and humidity sensor as well as a timer to adjust the duration of exposure and the LCD. The prototype was tested by irradiating various concentrations of artificial bilirubin solutions with a blue light produced by the phototherapy unit. The results show that the system can reduce the concentration of artificial bilirubin solution with an average reduction of 30.8%. The system shows the potential to be used as a portable phototherapy unit, further improvement on the efficacy, safety and comfort of the unit is required.
