Abstract

The Bengkulu City area often experiences extreme weather with the potential for flooding and affects various types of human activities. This study aims to determine the effect of extreme weather predictor variables in Bengkulu City by using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS). Extreme weather indicators are  reviewed  based  on  rainfall  with  estimating  variables  in  the  form  of  air pressure, humidity, air temperature, and wind speed, for 5 years (2017-2021) obtained from the BMKG Station on Baai Island, Bengkulu City. Data processing using SPSS method. Data analysis was carried out statistically and descriptively. Based on the results of the study, the correlation between the estimator variables on extreme rainfall is quite good with r = 0.661, and the error value (RMSE) is 27,124. Furthermore, the homogeneity test between extreme rainfall indicators and extreme weather estimators   includes   air   pressure, air   temperature, wind   speed,  and   air   humidity,   showing homogeneity in 2019. This indicates the predictor variable has the same direction to extreme rainfall, where the error value is obtained tends to be relatively small. The estimator variables, namely air pressure and humidity, have a significant relationship with extreme rainfall. Predictions using data (2017-2021) show that in 2022, extreme rainfall events will occur for a relatively long time, namely in January, March, May, June, July, August, October, and December. The most extreme rainfall intensity occurs in January

Abstract

The need for oil and gas has led to increased exploration to produce hydrocarbons in various basins and discover new reserves. This was also done in the Kutai basin on the eastern island of Kalimantan using a quantitative correlation between geophysical logs and rock core data and qualitative analysis by analyzing geochemical data derived from the host rock. To determine the characteristics of the hydrocarbon source rock in the three test wells, three types were analyzed, namely organic material richness, organic material type, and maturity level. For the Maau-1, Wahau-1, and Tengkawang-1 test wells, the organic material content has an excellent type to become source rock. The three wells are of medium-special hydrocarbon potential in organic material, making them very likely to produce oil and gas. As for the nature of the material content, the three wells have a mature level of the source rock, making them very potential as the  very good source rock.

Abstract

A type of climate variation in the Pacific Ocean known as El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is defined by an increase in sea surface temperature (SST) in the Central and Eastern equatorial areas, which affects the amount of rainfall that falls and increases. In Indonesia, the rainy season typically persists from October to March, whereas the dry season persists from April to September.  Research on the influence of ENSO on rainfall has been carried out in several areas, but has not been carried out in the Tangerang area. This study aims to ascertain how the ENSO phenomena affect rainfall fluctuations and cloud distribution in the Regency of Tangerang. The secondary data, which includes information on rainfall, cloud cover, wind direction, and speed, was acquired from BMKG Meteorology Budiarto. In addition, data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) website's Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) was used. Surface weather analysis and Pearson correlation analysis are the data analysis techniques used. The results presented that based on surface weather study, ENSO events had a consequence on cloud distribution in Tangerang Regency. The clouds lead when the ENSO phenomenon occurs, namely Cumulus and Nimbostratus clouds with a 4-8 octa cloud cover. Meanwhile, the correlation test results show that ENSO influences seasonal and annual rainfall variations in the district of Tangerang.  The largest correlation between SOI and annual rainfall occurred in 2015 with a correlation value of r-0.84 (very strong). Meanwhile, the greatest correlation between SOI and seasonal rainfall occurred in July-September with a correlation value of r=0.67 (strong).

Abstract

The structure and photo-response properties of ZnO:Fe/ITO thin film synthesized using  a pyrolysis method were studied in this work. ZnO:Fe/ITO thin film referred to as FZO/ITO was characterized using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and current-voltage (I-V) measurements. The XRD analysis showed that the detected peaks at 30.23°, 35.15°, 37.36°, 45.18°, and 50.54° belonged to the ITO cubic phase. The I-V analyses showed that the sample had the saturation current, Schottky barrier, and sensitivity of 16.24 µA, 0.4771, and 0,90 µA respectively. The FZO/ITO gave a good response toward the light.

Abstract

Developing effective neutron shielding materials for applications like muon tomography requires understanding the interaction of neutrons with different materials. This study investigates the effectiveness of heavy metals (Cu, Fe, and Pb) as neutron shields using Monte Carlo PHITS simulations with fast neutrons (0.1, 0.5, and 1 MeV). Simulation results show that the intensity of transmitted neutrons decreases with increasing material thickness and atomic number (Pb > Fe > Cu). How far a particle travels before stopping is determined by two factors: its initial neutron energy and how likely it is to interact with the material it's passing through. These findings provide valuable insights into designing optimal neutron shielding materials for various applications.

Abstract

This research aims to obtain the temperature performance of heat convection from hot water flow in pipes in the drying chamber during the drying process. This research method descriptively examines the drying function and the hot air flow process in the drying system. The results obtained from the research show that the average temperature in the drying room is 37oC while the temperature outside the dryer (environmental temperature) is 22oC. To dry 2 mm thick cassava slices from an ingredient weight of 23 g to 8 g, it takes 8-10 hours. The longer the drying time, the lower the moisture ratio value. An increase in temperature affects a decrease in the moisture ratio in geothermal hot water flow dryer. The decrease in the moisture ratio value was influenced by the decrease in the water content of the material during the drying process. The distribution of temperature movements that occur in the drying room at the beginning of the drying process where the room temperature moves turbulensitly from 30.8 - 35.1oC. During the drying process, the movement of heat distribution shows the active phenomenon of a convection heat source from the side of the drying chamber which is a spiral-shaped heating design around the drying chamber. The constant temperature is 36 – 38oC which is the hottest temperature that is almost uniform in the drying room. The use of hot water energy from geothermal hot springs can be an alternative continuous and hygienic drying process
