Abstract

Diagenetic studies observe the process of changing sedimentary deposits into sedimentary rocks. This study is critical because it relates to the quality of rock porosity, which can be filled by fluid.  The analysis of the Peunasu Formation is interesting because previous researchers considered that the Tertiary sedimentary rocks in the Northwest Aceh Basin are equivalent to rock units in the petroleum system in the North Sumatra Basin and Mergui Basin. Meanwhile, studies on the Peunasu Formation, a tertiary sedimentary rock, still need to be completed. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine the characteristics and diagenetic processes in the sandstone of the Peunasu Formation. The method used is petrographic observation, which identifies the composition of rocks along with textures such as grain size, roundness, sorting, grain contact, and porosity. The results are that the Peunasu Formation sandstone is classified as sublitharenite, lithic greywacke, and litharenite. The diagenetic regime is mesogenesis. In the mesogenesis stage, the sandstone of the Peunasu Formation experiences compaction, cementation, and dissolution. The porosity of the Peunasu Formation sandstone, as determined by the percentage of pores, exhibits a range of 0.5% to 16.8%, categorizing it as ranging from negligible to moderate. Compaction reduces the intergranular porosity, while the dissolution of grains contributes to the formation of secondary porosity.

Abstract

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an essential tool in land surveying. GPS has become an alternative method of surveying that requires less manpower and less time. However, GPS devices are still expensive to buy, especially for students. On the other hand, almost every student has a smartphone with a built-in GPS sensor, so this GPS is certainly accessible to everyone with a smartphone. This study used a smartphone's GPS to conduct land surveying at the campus of Bengkulu University. This smartphone’s GPS was used to track various parameters such as coordinates, elevation, and distance between two or more points to calculate the area within the study area. The innovative method of using the built-in GPS sensor in smartphones will provide convenience for users and introduce simplified open-source software for the land measurement process. The measurement was calibrated using a conventional roll meter to verify the linear error by comparing the two measurements between the smartphone’s GPS and roll meter. The smartphone’s GPS reading was logged using GPS Waypoints and My Tracks, free Android applications on the Google Play store. This study's average error in measurements obtained using GPS on smartphones was 3.02%. This value is sufficient for the initial stage of low-cost land surveys and falls within ideal conditions for GPS measurements. Therefore, this article emphasizes the potential of smartphone GPS to optimize techniques in education and scientific investigations.

Abstract

This study aims to activate the effectiveness of Photodynamic Inactivation (PDI) as an antibacterial agent by using a green laser and papaya leaf chlorophyll extract to prevent Candida albicans cell death. Papaya leaf extract chlorophyll is known to have potential as a photosensitizer (PS) through its antimicrobial properties and ability to absorb optimal light photons at a wavelength range of 405–680 nm. Activation of chlorophyll molecules with appropriate light produces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which are toxic to pathogenic microbes such as Candida albicans. The research method involves using PDI with a green laser light source and chlorophyll extract on Candida albicans biofilms. Four main treatment groups were applied, negative control (C-), positive controls with 10% (C1+) and 15% chlorophyll (C2+), irradiation for 60, 120, 180, 240, and 300 seconds (L1–L5), and combinations of irradiation with chlorophyll (L1F1–L5F2, where F1 for 10% chlorophyll and F2 for 15% chlorophyll), with measurements performed three times for each treatment. Living Candida albicans cells were detected using the XTT assay staining method. The results showed a significant decrease in activity in all treatment groups. Maximum activity was achieved in the L5F1 and L5F2 treatment groups with inactivation of 80% (p<0.05) and 83% (p<0.05), respectively. This study concludes that high papaya leaf extract chlorophyll concentrations combined with a green laser effectively inhibit Candida albicans biofilm.

Abstract

Continuous blood pressure monitoring is essential for early hypertension prevention and cardiovascular disease diagnosis. Traditional methods are unsuitable for long-term use due to discomfort and limited portability. This study presents a tapered plastic fiber optical sensor (PFOS) as a sustainable, non-invasive solution for continuous monitoring. The PFOS system employs a light modulator based on mechanical waves to detect arterial pressure changes, utilizing an infrared light source (940 nm). The cuffless design includes four configurations: Bend, Bend with 1 Scratch, Bend with 3 Scratches, and Straight with 3 Scratches. The Bend with 1 Scratch configuration demonstrated superior performance, achieving 99.84% accuracy, a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.1564, a linearity of 0.9999, and a sensitivity of 2.9997 Hz/dBm. Experimental validation involved testing radial and brachial arteries. Blood pressure estimates from Pulse Transit Time (PTT) were compared to a standard sphygmomanometer. On the radial artery, the Bend with 1 Scratch configuration achieved the best results, with the lowest MAE (1.72 for SBP, 2.39 for DBP) and highest accuracy (98.30% for SBP, 96.56% for DBP). The Straight with 3 Scratches configuration performed best on the brachial artery, with an MAE of 2.81 for SBP and 5.11 for DBP, and accuracies of 97.21% for SBP and 92.67% for DBP. The PFOS system offers a promising option for continuous monitoring in clinical and home settings.

Abstract

Water is a widely used and effective fire-extinguishing medium, but its effectiveness diminishes at high temperatures. By disrupting the oxygen chain in the fire triangle, Foam media can enhance suppression performance. This study simulates the impact of foam injector placement on the effectiveness of jet nozzles in fire extinguishers. Simulations were conducted with foam injectors positioned at the nozzle's inlet, middle, and outlet. Results indicate that placing the foam injector at the outlet provides optimal spray velocity, pressure, and extinguishing performance. These findings highlight the importance of injector placement in improving fire suppression efficiency for liquid-based extinguishing systems.

Abstract

Crab shells, rich in calcium carbonate (CaCO3), provide a sustainable source of calcium oxide (CaO) for synthesizing Whitlockite (WH, Ca9(MgFe)(PO4)6PO3H), a potential biomaterial for bone replacement. This study addresses prior research gaps by exploring synthesis temperature variations from 700℃ to 1000℃  and employing acid precipitation to yield high-purity WH. Characterization was performed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer Emmet-Teller (BET) analysis. Results indicate that the crab shell powder contains 99.0944%wt. The XRD results show that optimal crystallinity and purity of WH were achieved at a calcination temperature of 900℃.  The FTIR test results show that the functional groups of WH at calcination temperatures of 700℃, 800℃, 900℃, and 1000℃ for 5 hours are detected in specific wave ranges, namely PO₄³- (673-671 cm-¹), and OH- (3340-3198 cm-¹), which contribute to the bone formation process. SEM tests revealed that changes in calcination temperature affected the morphology of WH, with the optimal temperature producing a smaller size, minimal agglomeration, and a more uniform size distribution. BET analysis showed that 900℃ gave the highest adsorption capacity and good stability, indicating a more significant potential for interaction with body cells. These findings confirm the ability of WH to be a promising biomaterial for bone replacement applications.

Abstract

Water hyacinth is a locally available biomass with the potential to be converted into biochar, serving as a renewable energy source. In this report, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the carbonization temperature during the preparation of water hyacinth biochar. Water hyacinth was carbonized in a furnace at varied temperatures (400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C) for 90 minutes. Characterization of the biochar derived from water hyacinth by proximate analysis was determined, including moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and calorific value. The results of the biochar before optimization indicated that moisture content and volatile matter decreased with increasing carbonization temperature, while ash content, fixed carbon, and calorific value increased. After optimization, the proximate analysis of the biochar was determined, with the optimal carbonization temperature found to be 533.54 °C. At this temperature, the optimal moisture content was 6.50%, ash content was 25.53%, volatile matter was 24.80%, and fixed carbon was 43,16%. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using RSM to optimize the preparation conditions of water hyacinth biochar.

Abstract

Treatment with radiotherapy in pregnant women may occur due to some critical conditions. The dose given during the treatment process is not only received by the patient but can also be absorbed by the fetus which can affect its growth. Moreover, the radiation target is near the fetus such as the lung. This study aims to determine the dose distribution to the fetus with variations in fetal age (trimester 1, 2, and 3), beam energy, field size, and fetal distance to the target location (lung). The entire simulation utilized the Monte Carlo-based software EGSnrc-DOSXYZnrc which produced a 3-dimensional dose distribution on the virtual phantom. The simulated virtual phantom is a box with a size of 40×40×40 cm3 containing several materials, namely water, tissue, and lung. The size of the fetus is varied according to trimesters 1, 2, and 3. The beam is in the form of monoenergetic photons with energies of 3 MeV and 5 MeV emitted from above with a source to surface distance (SSD) of 48 cm. The field size was set at 5×5 cm2 and 8×8 cm2 on the phantom surface. The beam axis was located at a distance of 5 cm and 3 cm from the fetus. The results showed that the four variations performed affected the fetal dose, where the fetal dose increased considerably when the field size was enlarged and the beam axis was closer to the fetal position. The increase in fetal dose is also influenced by the increase in fetal age and beam energy. Meanwhile, the location of the beam below the lung causes an increased dose to the fetus due to the closer position of the beam to the fetus.

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries are electrical energy storage devices often found in portable electronic equipment. Overcharging and discharging the battery will reduce its life and cause severe damage. Constant current and voltage control methods and control algorithms, such as fuzzy logic control, need to be added to avoid this. This research aims to develop a lithium-ion battery charging system using a constant current and voltage method based on fuzzy logic control. A constant current-constant voltage (cc-cv) charging system helps control the charging voltage and current by conditioning the initial charging to use a constant current so as not to overcharge. Constant current uses a buck converter circuit, while constant voltage uses a voltage regulator circuit. The charging system is equipped with a voltage sensor and a current sensor. System control uses fuzzy logic control methods with input variables as errors and delta errors while the output is a duty cycle. The overall system design was carried out at the Measurement, Reliability, Risk, and Safety Laboratory, ITS for 4 months. The test results show that charging the battery produces a voltage of 12.6 Volts and a current of 2.5 Amperes. The battery will be fully charged, and the charging system will stop when the flowing current decreases and the current is cut off at 100 mA.
