Abstract

Isolation and Cloning of cDNA Fragment of Gene Encoding for Multidrug Resistance Associated Protein from M. affine. M. affine can grow well in acid soil with high level of soluble aluminum. One of the important proteins in the detoxifying xenobiotic stress including acid and Al stresses is a multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP) encoded by mrp gene. The objective of this research is to isolate and clone the cDNA fragment of MaMrp encoding MRP from M. affine. By reverse transcription, total cDNA had been synthesized from the total RNA as template. The fragment of cDNA MaMrp had been successfully isolated by PCR by using total cDNA as template and mrp primer designed from A. thaliana, yeast, and human. This fragment was successfully inserted into pGEM-T Easy and the recombinant plasmid was successfully introduced into E. coli DH5α. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that the lenght of MaMrp fragment is 633 bp encoding 208 amino acids. Local alignment analysis based on nucleotide of mRNA showed that MaMrp fragment is 69% identical to AtMrp1 and 63% to AtMrp from A. thaliana. Based on deduced amino acid sequence, MaMRP is 84% identical to part of AtMRP13, 77% to AtMRP12, and 73% to AtMRP1 from A. thaliana respectively. Alignment analysis with AtMRP1 showed that MaMRP fragment is located in TM1 and NBF1 domains and has a specific amino acid sequence QCKAQLQNMEEE

Abstract

Compactibility of Al/Al2O3 Isotropic Composite with Variation of Holding Time Sintering. The requirement of component with structural ability, light weight and also strength is increasing base on Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) by aluminum as matrix (AMCs). A structural ability is connected to composites compactibility which is depend on quality of interfacial bounding. Powder metallurgy is one of method to produce composite with powder mixing, compacting and sintering. Volume fractions reinforced and sintering time can influence composites compactibility. Volume fractions reinforced variable can produce different reinforcement effect. Beside that, on sintering enables the formation of new phase during sintering time. In this research, Al/Al2O3 isotropic composites are made with aluminum as matrix and alumina (Al2O3) as reinforced. Volume fraction reinforced used 10%. 20%. 30% and 40%. Sintering temperature and compaction pressure are each 600o C and 15 kN. The tests that applied are compression and metallographic test. The result that obtained is optimum compactibility of Al/Al2O3 composite reached at holding time 2 hour. During sintering, new phase can occur that is aluminum oxides (alumina), with unstable properties. The best volume fraction reinforced and holding time sintering are 40% and 2 hours.

Abstract

Mesoporous materials have attracted the attention of many researchers due to the potential applications promised by the materials. This article discusses adsorption of water and benzene vapour in mesoporous materials (mesoporous silica: MCM-41, MCM-48 and their modification). MCM-41 and MCM-48 were synthesized hydrothermally at 100 o C using cethyltrimethylammonium chloride or dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide for MCM-41 (C16) or MCM-41 (C12) respectively and a mixture of cethyltrimethylammonium bromide and Triton X-100 for MCM-48 as templates. Their modifications were conducted by silylation of MCM-41 (C16) and MCM-48 with trimethylchloro silane (MCM16- TMCS and MCM48-TMCS) and t-butyldimethylchloro silane (MCM16-TBDMCS and MCM48-TBDMCS). Results showed that MCM-41 and MCM-48 materials had hydrophobic features which were shown in the small amount of water adsorption at low P/P0 . The hydrophobicity of samples used in this study decrease in the sequence: MCM-41 (C16) > MCM-48 > MCM-41 (C12). The hydrophobicity increased when MCM-41 and MCM-48 were silylated with TMCS or TBDMCS. All unsilylated MCM materials show higher affinity to benzene at low P/P0 than the silylated samples. The results of water and benzene adsorption showed that silylated samples are promising candidates as selective adsorbents for organic compounds.

Abstract

The Influence of Coating Oxide Metal on Surface of SiC Particles to Elastic Modulus of Al/SiC Composites. The isotropic composites of Al/SiC is made by powder metallurgy method, the quality of mechanical materials depend on interfacial bonding between matrix (Al) and reinforcement (SiC). The quality of interfacial bonding can influence to elastic modulus of composites which is made by solid process. SiC particles were coated by metal oxide aim to enhance quality interfacial bonding between matrix and reinforcement. These research using three kinds of coating materials, which are Mg oxide, Cu oxide and Al oxide, and these materials were deposited on surface of SiC particles. From three kinds of materials coating Al2O3 is the best to enhance quality interfacial bonding between matrix and reinforce than the others as CuO or MgO. There is Intermetalic phase formatted on CuO coating, and MgO coating have many porous where they can make decrease quality of Al-SiC composites. All of volume fraction of SiC on the Al/SiC composites, which oxide aluminum coating on SiC surface have highest value of elastic modulus than the others metal oxides.

Abstract

Selection of Diffraction Measurement Range and Its Effect on X-ray Diffraction Rietveld Analysis Results: a MgO-Y2O3 Mixture Case. X-ray diffraction data analyses for a MgO-Y2O3 (30% Y2O3 by weight) ceramic composite have been done at various diffraction angle ranges to evaluate the effects to the analyses results. The study was performed as choosing the angle ranges correlates to data collection time and x-ray tube lasting. The analyses utilised Rietveld-based software Rietica. The ranges chosen were (A) 10-100, (B) 10-90, (C) 10-80, (D) 10-70 dan (E) 10-60 °2θ. Results showed that in general the errors of the refined parameters increased with narrower range. Phase composition analyses also showed significant bias when narrower range was used – with range 10-80 °2θ gave tolerable result. Moreover, narrowing diffraction angle in the analysis significantly biases the Lorentzian peak broadening component values particularly for phase with crystallite size estimate more than 100 nm. The study recommends how to choose the range.

Abstract

Seismogram Analysis of Earthquakes Around Indonesia In UGM Observational Station: S Velocity Structure. The seismogram comparison between the measured and synthetics seismogram has been carried out in observation station of UGM, where the seismograms are excited by earthquakes that occurred at North Sumatra, Sumbawa, Sunda Strait, around North Celebes and PNG. The ray paths from earthquake's hypocenter to UGM give opportunity to understand the earth structure alongside the front area of subduction zone. The calculation of synthetic seismogram needs input in the form of earth model, the Centroid Moment Tensor (CMT) solution of the earthquake and location of observation station, as well as the relevant date file response of the observation station. Waveform comparison and fitting at surface wave indicate that speed's anomalies in the lithosphere have negative character in front area of subducted zone, but become positive for northern area of subduction zone. By paying attention to waveform of Love surface wave, it is obtained, that this waveform are sensitive to the change of earth crust thickness, while Rayleigh waveform is not sensitive. Heterogeneity is not only occurred in the lithosphere, but also in deeper earth layers, until Core Mantle Boundary (CMB). Different corrections are needed to make the fitting at S secondary wave, but also at depth wave and its repetitions. The result of this research shows that the research area, which is located in the front of subduction zone has anomalies at S speed of at deeper earth layers which than the lithosphere. The earth structure as the result of this research differs from the other seismological results, where they used the methods, which are based on inversion of arrival time data of body wave and dispersion analysis on surface wave.

Abstract

The goal of this research is to obtain single crystal and structural information of iron(II) complex with 2,(2’- pyridyl)quinoline(pq) ligands. The reaction of iron(II) salt with 2,(2’-pyridyl)quinoline ligand and sodium tetraphenylborate in the molar ratio of 1:3:2 in methanol-N,N-dimethylformamide(dmf) solution results in an iron(II) complex. The formula of the [Fe(pq)2(dmf)2](BPh4)2 complex has been obtained from the iron(II) and C, H, N contents. Single crystal of [Fe(pq)2(dmf)2](BPh4)2 suitable for X-ray investigation was obtained by evaporation of the complex solution in N,N-dimethylformamide at room temperature after 24 hours. This compound crystallizes in monoclinic system with C2/c space group, a = 27.950(4), b = 14.169(7), c = 17.717(9) Å and β = 105.669(11)°. The structure consist of iron(II) is chelated by two pq ligands through the N atoms and two dmf molecules in a six-coordination environment. The charge of the [Fe(pq)2(dmf)2] 2+ cation is balanced by two tetraphenylborate (BPh4) - anions.

Abstract

Gas Production Generated from Crude Oil Biodegradation: Preliminary Study on its Aplication in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR). The objective of this study is to observe the capacity of gas production generated from crude oil degradation by the isolated bacteria. The gas in the MEOR could increase pressure in the reservoir, decrease oil viscosity, increase oil permeability-due to the increase of the porosity and viscosity, and also increase oil volume due to the amount of dissolved gas. A research on gas analysis of oil degradation by 6 isolated bacteria has been conducted. The bacteria isolates including Bacillus badius (A), Bacillus circulans (B), Bacillus coagulans (C), Bacillus firmus (D), Pasteurella avium (E) and Streptobacillus moniliformis (F). The trial on gas production, gas analysis and oil degradation analysis, was carried out by using SMSS medium. The test of gas production was done by using microrespirometer at 40°C. The result shows that B, C, D, E produce more gas than A and F. Gas of CO2, O2, CO, N2, CH4, and H2 were analyzed by using GC. The results show that only three gases were detected by GC i.e. CO2, N2, and O2. The concentration of CO2 and N2 gas increased while the concentration of O2 decreased over an 8th day of observation. CO2 gas producted by mix culture was higher than by the pure culture. On the 8th day of incubation, the production of CO2 gas by mix culture was 4,0452% while pure culture C and D only produced 2,4543% and 2,8729%. The mix culture increase simple hydrocarbon by 12.03% and the formation of a complex hydrocarbon by 3.07%. The mix culture (C-D) generated the highest concentration of CO2 gas as well as a synergistic concortium that has ability to degrade crude oil.
