Abstract

Human activities due influenced by natural conditions and natural conditions are affected by human activities. This phenomenon is interesting because everybody couldn't control over the weather. Accuracy weather information can minimize the negative effects of weather such as aircraft accidents, material losses due to flooding and other. AWS is instrument used to measure the weather elements. However, in practice most of the weather forecast is only used to help smooth plane flight, and the result can only be accessed by certain institutions. In fact, if viewed more deeply the weather forecast has many benefits in human activities. This research objective is to determine the characteristics of the weather elements  that can be utilized for various fields of human life. This research was descriptive which describe the AWS Vaisla MAWS 201 and the elements of the weather based on measurements using Vaisala MAWS 201. AWS measurement data retrieval was done directly by observing changes in weather elements occurring on the computer display. The computer display of measurement data elements of weather can be downloaded to be processed as information material. From these research activities could be offered two results. First AWS consist of remote terminal Unite (RTU), personal computer (CP), Sensors. AWS can measure some weather elements at once. Second, the measurement data obtained from the results that the average temperature in 2013 and 2014 was 250C -300C and minimum temperature of 240C. For the measurement of rainfall average per year is 35 mm and 0 mm. The air pressure value of the average per year is 1012 mb and 1009 mb. Air humidity is 80 and 82. Wind speed is taken from an annual average value of 10 m / s in 2014 and 3 m / s in 2013

Abstract

Corncobs by most people still not optimally utilized, even considered as a waste byproduct of the primary production of maize. The content of lignocellulosic on corn cob allows for the manufacture of particle board by testing the thermal conductivity of which is expected later can be used as a heat insulator. The process of manufacture of particle board made with compression heat for 20 minutes with pressure of 160 Pa and temperature of 150 ° C, drying particle board  for 15 days, density particle board 0.6x103 kg / m3 and thickness of particle board  1 cm.The results obtained for the thermal conductivity value of corncob particle board is greater mesh size, the smaller the size of its particles, the greater the thermal conductivity. From the results concluded that good particle board to serve as heat insulator materials are those that have low thermal conductivity values which qualify ukaran 8 mesh sieve amounted to 0.1012 W / m  ° C. Increasingly smaller particle size makes thermal conductivity value increases so that the quality of heat insulator decreases

Abstract

Maden Jullian Oscillation (MJO) is the most dominant climate variations occur in the equatiorial region and was centered in the Indian ocean and the Pacific ocean which affects the climate change. This research was conducted to determine the pattern of zonal wind and Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) by the time of MJO was active and to find the time when MJO was active using RMM1 and RMM2 index. Additionally, to knowing the characteristic of correlation between MJO signal and zonal wind in Padang. This research used secondary data in velocity of zonal wind form, height 850 mb,  reanalysis OLR data and index realtime multivariate (RMM1 and RMM2). Data are analyzed by using a program Weight Wavelet Z-transform (WWZ) and surfer 7 to see the patern and timing of the appearance MJO and characteristics of the connection MJO index RMM1 and RMM2 with 850mb zonal wind with simple regresion analysis and value of coeffisien determination (R2). The results showed that 850 mb zonal wind speed ranging from 5 m/s which suports to make formation of rain clouds and the carrier is evidenced by the low value of OLR as charactheristics of the MJO. The emergence of an active MJO phase 4, the impact caused by the emergence of the active phase of the MJO is a low wind speed and high rainfall during the propagation of the Indian ocean to the Pacific ocean that occured in the City of Padang. Time MJO emergence occured 19 time during 2010-2015. A highly significant connection between zonal wind and RMM1 and RMM2 850 with confidence interval 97%, and the effect on rainfall during the MJO is active in the City of Padang

Abstract

Heavy metal is environmental factor which influences the relative intensity of firefly light. Heavy metal in firefly body is estimated to be able to decrease the intensity of light produced. This research will discuss the influence of heavy metal toward bioluminescence reaction of firefly. It starts from the influence of heavy metal type and concentration toward intensity, inhibition coefficient and the influence of molecule weight with bioluminescence inhibition coefficient of firefly. This research is an experimental research conducted in Material Physics and Biophysics Laboratory and Chemistry Laboratory of FMIPA UNP. In this research, the measurements of wave length and light intensity are conducted toward firefly of Pteroptyx tener taken from Sungai Lareh , a district of Koto Tangah, Padang before and after being given  treatment with heavy metal by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The Determined variables in this research is independent variables which consist of lead (Pb), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) and heavy metal concentration is 0,5 mg/l, 1 mg/l and 2 mg/l, the dependent variables are relative intensity of firefly light and inhibition coefficient, and the control variable is type and size of firefly and solvent media used. The result of research indicates that bioluminescence relative intensity value of firefly keep declining if heavy metal concentration rises up. The decline of the biggest intensity is caused by the existence of lead (Pb), then zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and the smallest is iron (Fe). Bioluminescence inhibition coefficient of firefly keeps declining because of the increasing of heavy metal concentration. For concentration of 0.5 mg/l , the coefficient inhibition of lead (Pb) is 1.8620M-1, zinc (Zn) is 0.6275M-1, copper (Cu) is 0.4260M-1, and the smallest is iron (Fe) which is 0.2481M-1. For concentration of 1 mg/l, the inhibition coefficient of lead (Pb) is 1.1494M-1, zinc (Zn) is 0.4269M-1, copper (Cu) is 0.3385M-1 and the smallest one is iron (Fe) which is 0.2747M-1. For concentration of 2 mg/l , the inhibition coefficient of lead (Pb) is 0.8951M-1, zinc (Zn) is 0.3269M-1, copper (Cu) is 0.2998M-1, and the smallest one is iron (Fe) which is 0.2671M-1. The biggest inhibition coefficient from bioluminescence of firefly is caused by the existence of lead (Pb), then zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and the smallest one is iron (Fe). The biggest Inhibition coefficient value is followed by the large of heavy metal molecule weight, that is nitrate lead (PbNO3) that has the biggest molecule weight which is 269.20 g/mol, then nitrate zinc (ZnNO3) which is 127.38 g/mol, nitrate copper (CuNO3) which is 125.55 g/mol and nitrate iron (FeNO3) which is 117.86 g/mol.

Abstract

The ground motion intensity caused by an M 6.3 earthquake that struck Mentawai Strait on September 1st, 2017 with epicenter -1.24 N and 99.75 E and depth 58 km were recorded on BMKG’s seismic and intensity network, the intensity was about III - IV intensity scale (MMI) and the acceleration was 2.8 g. The earthquake intensity calculation in Indonesia can also be calculate by using Ground Motion Prediction Equation (GMPE) such as Si and Midorikawa (1999), Mc Guire (1963), Donovan (1973) and Wu et al (2003) empirical equations. We conducted a research to compare the peak ground acceleration calculation between using empirical equation and by using data observed on BMKG’s intensity networks. The PGA  result on every district of Sumatera Barat Province that shown on BMKG’s shakemap has a significant different comparing with the calculation using the equations. The PGA values by using the empirial equations were decayed through the hipocenter distance of the earthquake in every district of Sumatera Barat Province. Meanwhile base on the observed one, we found some anomalies of PGA value on some BMKG’s accelerograph station networks i.e. PDSI in Padang and PAPA in Padang Panjang with 14.35 g and 5.07 g respectively. But these anomalies were not impacted to the result of the intensity, because they have some filters that can elimunate these kind of anomalies to conduct an accurate result.
