Abstract

Polymers have been widely developed as alternative materials to replace metal materials due to various advantages such as low density and an easy manufacturing process. Still, polymers have many disadvantages, including not having high mechanical strength, easy to crack when hit by impact. One of the materials studied is an unsaturated polyester polymer widely used for composite matrices in vehicle structural components, aircraft and ship bodies, and vehicle components. One of the studied fibers is rice husk particle fiber. The study of cracks is crucial because it causes the material to no longer be able to support the load according to the previous plan and causes failure to occur more quickly. One way to overcome material failure due to cracks in the composite material is to prevent crack propagation by adding reinforcing material. In this study, a composite material was made using rice husk fiber to increase the crack resistance of the polyester composite matrix. From the results of crack testing, there is a tendency to increase the percentage of rice husks by 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The value expected to be obtained for determining the crack resistance of the material is the value of the stress intensity factor (K1). The largest K1 value was obtained at the variable percentage of rice husk 15% with MMA as much as 10% and MEKP 4% obtained a stress intensity factor of 1,558 MPa.m0.5; this value can increase the value of the stress intensity factor of pure polyester K1 by 0.667 MPa.m0.5 which shows an increase of 233.58%.

Abstract

This study investigates the structural and vibrational properties of Cu-Ag-In-S/CdSe core/shell quantum dots (QDs) grown on the mesoporous TiO2 (mp-TiO2) substrates using Raman spectroscopy and 3D Raman mapping.  The Raman spectra revealed distinct vibrational modes of AgInS2 and CdSe, compared to Cu-Ag-In-S, with a notable shift observed in the A1 mode (282.2 cm-1 to 260.8 cm-1), E and B2 modes (316.7 cm-1 to 326.4 cm-1), and an additional Cu-S mode (289.3 cm-1 to 283.4 cm-1). These shifts indicate significant interactions between the QDs and the substrate, as well as the presence of Cu and CdSe phases. 3D mapping provided spatial distribution data, showing enhanced Cu-incorporation and morphological variations across the substrates, with darker regions signifying Cu-enriched areas. The alterations in the Raman spectrum suggest a strong interaction between Cu-Ag-In-S and CdSe. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of Cu-Ag-In-S/CdSe QDs, highlighting their potential to optoelectronic application.

Abstract

Rainfall prediction is crucial to support natural disaster mitigation and water resource management, especially in areas like Palu City with dynamic rainfall patterns. This study evaluated the performance of three Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models with different architectures to identify the most accurate model in predicting rainfall in 2023. To obtain the model, the historical data of nine meteorological parameters in Palu City from 2018 to 2022 was processed using the Python programming language through pre-processing, processing, post-processing, and verification stages. All three models obtained are designed with hidden layers and different nodes. The best model obtained was Model A with one hidden layer, 8 nodes, and a MAPE value of 9.42%, putting it in the excellent category. Meanwhile, Model B and Model C are in a suitable category with MAPE values of 14.43% and 10.23%. The challenge of using the ANN method in predicting rainfall is its tendency to equalize extreme rain. Therefore, complete data is needed to improve ANN performance.

Abstract

Organic perovskites or inorganic perovskites are very popular among researchers who are designing the most efficient perovskite solar cells. Besides, they can be used as materials for other optoelectronic applications, such as light-emitting diodes. In this paper, we reported the results of studies on the electronic property of LiSnX3 (X = F, Cl, Br, or I) perovskite in the cubic phase. This electronic property is the density of states, which one can determine the band gap energy value. These studies were undertaken to understand the relation between their band gap energy and lattice constant through anion X variations. The Quantum ESPRESSO program calculated These two crucial quantities with norm-conserving Troullier-Martins pseudopotentials and Generalized Gradient Approximation Perdew-Burke-Enzerhof exchange-correlation functional. The computation results show that the band gap energy ranged from 0,3 eV to 0,99 eV while the lattice constant ranged from 6,183 Å to 4,625 Å for anion halide from I till F, respectively. The contrast trend between these quantities' values matches the Kronig-Penney Model.

Abstract

The gourami (Osphronemus goramy) fish is a freshwater fish commonly found in Asia and widely cultivated by fish farmers or local inhabitants. The survival rate of gourami fish from egg to larva and juvenile stages is very low, at approximately 50%. Several factors, such as unstable environmental conditions, poor water quality, and fungal growth on the eggs, cause this. Typically, synthetic medications or natural materials such as betel leaves and others are used to improve gourami fry's survival rate. In this study, the researchers attempted to apply ozone plasma technology dissolved in water to observe the egg hatchability of gourami fish. This study aims to apply technology in fisheries and aquatic sciences. The results of the study show that ozone technology can be applied to observe larval survival, with the highest survival rates found in the 10-minute and 15-minute ozone treatments, both achieving 100% hatchability, with larval survival rates of 86.67% and 96.66%, respectively.

Abstract

Automatic fertilizer mixing is required to minimize fertilizer and water mixing time because manual liquid mixing takes a long time. The fertilizer used is liquid, often known as effective microorganisms 4 (EM4) solution. To perfect the stirrer, which is still rotated manually, the DC motor provides speed control for the automatic liquid fertilizer mixer. The speed can be reduced by utilizing the Arduino Uno microcontroller so that the motor rotates according to the required speed. The main mechanical components consist of a DC motor, Arduino Uno as a microcontroller, a power supply as a source of electric current, and a container for mixing liquid fertilizer. The infrared (IR) sensor achieved high accuracy in measuring mixer rotational speed for EM4 fertilizer, with percentage errors ranging from 0.2% to 1.8% compared to tachometer readings. However, when applied to green fertilizer, the error rates varied widely, from 0.03% up to 28.05%, indicating significant fluctuations. These results highlight that the IR sensor is quantitatively reliable for EM4 fertilizer applications but requires further calibration to ensure consistent performance with other fertilizer types

Abstract

This study investigates the electrochemical performance of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NRGO) derived from oil palm empty fruit bunches as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIB). The aim is to evaluate the potential of NRGO to enhance sodium-ion storage through cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis. The NRGO was synthesized using a modified Hummers method followed by nitrogen doping through thermal treatment under an ammonia atmosphere. Cyclic voltammetry measurements were conducted at scan rates of 0.2 mV/s, 1 mV/s, and 10 mV/s to analyze the redox behavior and charge storage capacity. At a low scan rate of 0.2 mV/s, the current response was minimal, indicating limited sodium-ion intercalation. At 1 mV/s, the current increased, suggesting enhanced ionic mobility, though no distinct redox peaks were observed, implying a primarily capacitive mechanism. At the highest scan rate of 10 mV/s, the current response increased further, but the absence of clear redox peaks persisted, indicating limited faradaic reactions. The initial CV cycles showed a higher current due to the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer and structural rearrangements, which stabilized in subsequent cycles. The overall charge storage mechanism appears to be dominated by double-layer capacitance rather than faradaic processes. These findings suggest that NRGO derived from oil palm empty fruit bunches exhibits moderate electrochemical performance as a SIB anode material. While the material demonstrates promising charge storage capabilities, further optimization is required to enhance redox activity. Future research should focus on improving synthesis conditions, such as increasing nitrogen doping levels and enhancing surface area, to achieve better electrochemical performance and make NRGO a viable candidate for sodium-ion battery applications.

Abstract

Yttrium-substituted M-type barium hexaferrite was successfully synthesized using the solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms that all various samples have a single phase (for x = 0,0 and 0,1), have increased trend for crystal size (from 56,99 to 59,34 nm), cell volume (from 697,9161 to 701,2375 Å), and lattice parameter (a = 5,8948 to 5.9024 and c = 23,1918 to 23,2422) caused by ion substitution increased. SEM-EDX figure shows that the particle shape of yttrium-doped barium hexaferrite is hexagonal, and there is a growth in particle size as the amount of doping increases from 1.050 to 1.202 µm, and also the amount of Y3+ ion doping increases, the number of Fe atoms decreases, and the number of Y atoms increases. The materials were characterized using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), which shows a minimum reflection loss of x = 0.1 reaching -7,34 dB in the X-band for a thickness of 1.5 mm, better sample variation when compared to other sample variations.

Abstract

The determination of center of gravity (CG) of Mark 80 series bomb is crucial before being released from fighter-aircraft to reduce or eliminate bomb-pitching; thus, improving target accuracy. Current CG measurement in the service remains conventional, takes a long time, so the determination of ballast is guesswork, and the equipment used is not integrated. Therefore, this study aims to design a model of a microcontroller-based CG and ballast measuring instrument. This tool model uses two load cell sensors (as scales) to measure the weight of the bomb and two ultrasonic sensors to measure the distance between scales. The interface is LCD as digital output, keypad as ballast control and Arduino mega. The experimental method in this study employed test objects in the form of miniature MK 81 bombs and bomb-like test objects with known CG. A total of 6 types of tests obtained a tool accuracy rate of 99.2% with an accuracy of 2 mm. Given the efficiency and accuracy of the measurement, this model of CG and ballast measuring instrument can be a smart solution for military agencies to be used as an effective CG measuring tool for MK 80 bombs.
