Abstract

The composition and arrangement of tree species at different altitudes play a vital environmental role in the growth of Black Cardamom (Amomum subulatum) in Bhutan. The present study assesses agroforestry tree species composition and factors affecting the growth of A. subulatum in different habitat types. Altitudes were sorted into three different altitudinal bands (low, mid, and high) and each altitudinal band in three different habitats (timber tree, fodder tree, and mixed tree habitat) was assessed. The sampling of 48 plots was made for each habitat and the plot size was 20×20 m. In total, 144 plots were sampled systematically within the selected altitudinal bands in three different habitats. The 56 ecologically important agroforestry shade tree species were used for growing A. subulatum. Tree species preference of A. subulatumchanged based on different altitudes and habitat types [F(2, 33) = 45.672, P = .001]. Critical factors affecting the growth are tree canopy cover (r = –0.461) and infested A. subulatum stems (r = –0.765). The increasing number of infested stems retarded the growth and dense canopy cover or open canopy reduces the growth rate of A. subulatum. Overall, growth was suitable in timber tree habitat at mid altitudes, where Alnus nepalensis was the dominating species having 41.40% canopy cover with low pest and disease-infested A. subulatum stems. Significantly, the lower altitudinal band and the fodder tree habitats were found to be unsuitable for growth (p < 0.05).  Thus, appropriate site selection, canopy cover and altitude could provide optimum growth.

Abstract

The Bermudan option allows the contract holders to make and buy a hybrid contract between American and European options. Bermudan option contract can be executed at certain times until the due of the contract. The purpose of this research is to determine the price of the Bermudan option using the binomial method, and then to compare the binomial method result of n steps with the market option price. In determining stock prices at each point, there will be two branches of the binomial method: up and down branches. These branches represent the movement of stock prices in the market. The result shows the price of Bermudan option is convergent at a certain value when the binomial procedure is enlarged. The comparison of the Bermudan option price using a binomial method to the market price shows that the price of Bermudan option is an approach to the market price in certain conditions. Empirically, the price of Bermudan call option is in approach to the market option price or has a minimum error when the exercise price is below the current stock price. The price of Bermudan put option empirically is in approach to the market option price or having a minimum error when the exercise price is above the current stock price.

Abstract

The intertidal zone is an important habitat for marine organisms, including sea urchins. One of the potential intertidal zones is located on West Java's Sancang Coast. However, information about suitable habitats for sea urchins in this particular intertidal zone is still limited. Here, the spatial estimation of suitable habitats has been implemented aided by scoring, interpolation and overlay analysis of environmental variables and numbers of sea urchin individuals using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Environmental variable measurements and sea urchin surveys were implemented using the belt transect method. The estimated habitats were located at the Ciporeang, Cikujangjambe and Cibako sites, representing the East, Middle and West sides of intertidal zones that have distinct environmental variables. Based on the results, there were three sea urchin species, with Stomopneustes variolaris having the highest abundance, followed by Heterocentrotus trigonarius, and the lowest one was Diadema setosum. Most species were recorded in Cibako. Correspondingly, the Cibako site has a larger zone classified as very high (70%) and highly suitable (30%) for sea urchins as characterized by seagrass and algae cover, low water temperature, high pH, and salinity parameters. On the contrary, more than 50% of the rocky Ciporeang site zones, with warmer water and low salinity and pH, are not suitable for sea urchins. Therefore, the conservation of the Sancang Coast's sea urchin community should prioritize Cibako sites.

Abstract

This study examined the behavior of AA2024 aluminum alloys, which received different heat treatments, i.e., homogenization, quenching, artificial aging, and recrystallization. The homogenization temperature is set at 495 °C for 5 hours and followed by slow cooling in the furnace. Then a quenching treatment was done with cold water. Artificially aged alloys were heated to 495 °C for 5 hours, followed by rapid water cooling, then heating to 140 °C for 2 hours, and followed by slow cooling in the furnace. The recrystallization treatment was also studied by heating the solution to 495 °C for 5 hours, followed by rapid cooling with cold water and heating to 310 °C for 3 hours in the furnace. In this study, we used an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope to analyze the microstructures of the samples. X-ray fluorescence analysis was used to determine the proportion of each element on the surface of each alloy. Phase and structural analyses were performed by X-ray diffraction while the mass loss was calculated after 60 hours of exposure for all samples in a climate chamber. Our work revealed that the rate of mass loss could decrease with heat treatment of the alloy due to the emergence of additional phases and dispersoids. The result showed that the surface fraction of each element was changed due to heat treatment in an aggressive environment, in which the Al2Cu and Al2CuMg phases disappeared after the solution treatment as revealed from the XRD data.

Abstract

The conducted study aimed to analyze the waste processing process from traditional ceremonies in Bali by examining the composition of the waste generated. Since most of the waste generated during these ceremonies is a biodegradable organic material, it is feasible to use sustainable bioconversion techniques such as Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae to convert this waste into useful products. In the study, a feeding trial was conducted using a garbage blender consisting of banana fruit, rice, banana leaf, coconut leaf, and flower wastes. The BSF larvae were fed at a rate of 40 mg/larvae per day with a total of 200 larvae. The researchers measured the key processing parameters including overall degradation (OD), waste reduction index (WRI), and feed conversion efficiency (ECD) which resulted in values of 41.27±0.42%, 3.30±0.03 g/day, and 7.82±0.43%, respectively. The study found that the dry residue produced during the process was around 30-31% and met the minimum standards set for compost or biomass fuel. Additionally, the total mass of BSF larvae produced was around 16-18% in one cycle, which is a high protein source that can be used to feed animals.

Abstract

The present study aims to obtain an analytic solution for the inhomogeneous Verhults equation using multiple expansion methods. This study identifies the external factors represented by the inhomogeneous term that determine optimal variable conditions for ecosystem population growth. The simulation involves scenarios that utilize constant growth rates, periodic growth rates, constant external factors, and periodic external factors. It is found that external factors increase population growth, whereas constant external factors prevent growth under saturation conditions. Periodic external factors cause fluctuations in the amplitude of growth regions. The present study will highlight and discuss the development and application of the solution.

Abstract

Coagulation using inorganic compounds such as aluminum sulfate is commonly used in water-wastewater treatment. However, there are some drawbacks to its utilization, such as a significant decrease in the treated water’s pH, non-biodegradable sludge, and a potential negative impact on human mental health (dementia and Alzheimer's). The use of inorganic coagulants can be minimized with the addition of natural-based coagulant-aid such as pectin. In this study, Congo red solution, a model dye substance, was coagulated by varying the pH (3–7) using alum coagulant to determine the best pH for coagulation. At the best pH, pectin was introduced at various doses (0–30 mg/L), and subsequently various dye concentrations (50–100 mg/L). The effect of pectin as coagulant-aid was compared with aluminum sulfate and pectin only; with a response of %removal and sludge volume. It was found that the Congo red dye coagulation had the best %removal at pH 6 indicating a charge neutralization mechanism. The addition of 15 mg/L pectin at an aluminum sulfate dose of 30 mg/L resulted in 97.7% dye removal with a sludge volume of 14 mL/L at a Congo red concentration of 50 mg/L. This value is higher compared to those of aluminum sulfate and pectin only which gave 75.6 and 3.19% removals, respectively. Furthermore, the addition of pectin as a natural coagulant-aid could halve the sludge volume due to the formation of denser flocs. The results show a promising potential of pectin as a natural coagulant-aid in water-wastewater treatment.

Abstract

In this study, CaO/SiO2 composites were prepared from rice husk silica (RH-SiO2) and limestone from a local company. The composites with different mass ratios of CaO to SiO2 (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:5, and 1:10) were synthesized using the sol-gel technique and characterized using XRF, XRD, and SEM. The composites were then used as catalysts for the transesterification of palm oil, with the main purpose to investigate the effect of catalyst compositions on the percentage of conversion of the oil. The results of XRD and SEM confirm the existence of RH-SiO2 as an amorphous material, and CaO as crystalline material, while the composites are a mixture of amorphous and crystalline phases. The catalysts were then used in transesterification experiments and the percentage of oil conversion was calculated. To confirm the successful conversion of palm oil into fatty acid methyl esters, the products of the reactions were analyzed using GC-MS. The experimental results demonstrated that the composites prepared exhibit catalytic activity, with the highest conversion (60%) achieved using the catalyst with the CaO to SiO2 ratio of 1:3.

Abstract

A rational function can always be integrated, that is, the integral of such a function is always an elementary function. The integration procedure is complex and consists of four steps: elimination of the common zero-points of the numerator and denominator, reduction to a true rational function, decomposition into partial fractions and integration of the obtained expressions using direct integration, substitution method or partial integration method. Integrating rational functions is important because integrals of rational functions of trigonometric functions as well as integrals of some irrational functions are reduced to integrals of rational functions by appropriate transformations.

Abstract

Eutrophication, an aquatic problem that impacts water quality and ecosystems, can be addressed through technological developments utilizing satellite imagery to analyze the trophic status of water. This study aimed to determine the trophic status of the freshwater reservoir in different seasons using satellite imagery. Water quality data were obtained from field surveys (11 samples) during the wet and dry seasons in Cirata Reservoir (Indonesia) while the remote sensing images were obtained from the Landsat-8 OLI. Trophic status refers to Carlson's Trophic State Index consisting of two parameters named chlorophyll-A and water transparency. This study found that satellite imagery could estimate seasonal trophic information. During the wet season, the algorithms determined information about chlorophyll-A (48%) and transparency (35%). Whereas during the dry season, the algorithms successfully estimated both information at 59% and 21%, respectively. Unfortunately, the Landsat-8 OLI had limitations for estimating total phosphorus. From these two parameters, the trophic status in the Cirata Reservoir showed moderate (wet season) and mild (dry season) eutrophic. Cirata Reservoir has a higher trophic level during the wet season since it has more surface water supply with lots of pollutants.
