Abstract

The waters of Weh Island, Aceh Province has potency become the area for offshore aquaculture. Offshore Floating Net Cages can be an appropriate technology in increasing the biomass cultivation in Weh Island waters. However, no feasibility study has been done.  Therefore, this study aims to examine the suitability of offshore aquaculture locations in the East and South regions of Weh Island Based on Hydro-oceanography parameters. The parameters examined were water quality parameters such as temperature, brightness, pH, salinity and dissolved oxygen. In addition, we also examined the aspects of physical oceanography such as tides, currents and bathymetry. The results show that the water depth ranged from 0-57 m. The tidal type in the Weh Island waters is mixed tide prevailing semidiurnal with the tidal range of 1.9 m. The average of current speed ranged from 19.03-37.67 cm/s with the directions predominantly toward northwest and southeast.  It is concluded that the water quality data show that the eastern and southern parts of Weh Island are categorized as the feasible locations for offshore aquaculture.  Keywords: Sabang, Hydro-oceanography, Fisheries, Offshoreaquaculture, Floating net cages

Abstract

Krueng Baro Irrigation network is a strategic technical irrigation area in Pidie, Aceh, Indonesia. The primary water source is the Krueng Baro River flow using the infrastructure of Keumala Weir in which sedimentation is currently a significant problem in its operations. To prevent the sediment from entering the irrigation channel is to settle it in the settling basin. However, the primary irrigation channel with the stone masonry walls kept experiencing high sedimentation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of the Keumala Weir settling basin including its capacity and efficiency. This study used a survey method for data collection and an evaluation method following the current guidelines for data analysis. The sediment sampling was conducted in the settling basin and the primary channel. The flushing was currently carried out for seven days. However, the settling basin capacity of 2,436.75 m3 did not meet the flushing requirements. Thus, the flushing should be performed daily for a volume of 1,859.43 m3 to fulfill the condition, so that the capacity of the settling basin was controlled. The efficiency of sediment settling was 75%, and the effect of water turbulence was in a safe condition, that the sediment settled in a settling basin would not be eroded when it is empty or full. For the flushing efficiency, the shear stress was 15,538 N/m2 that can rinse less than 16 mm particles. Based on this evaluation, it can be concluded that the sediments in the primary channel were from the settling basin. It is suggested to limit the speed in the regulating building to approximately 1.5 m/s to reduce the sediments entering the primary channel. It also requires accuracy in the operation of the primary channel intake.

Abstract

Many scientists assume that RCM output is directly used as input for climate change impact models, while it consists of systematic errors. Consequently, RCM still requires bias correction to be used as an input model. The purpose of this study was to analyze the RCM performance before and after bias correction, its best performance from several models, as well as to clarify the importance of bias correction before it is used to analyze climate change. As a result of this, the method used for bias correction was Distribution Mapping method (for rainfall) and Average Ratio-method (for air temperature). While the Generalized Extrem Valuedistribution (GEV) was used to analysis extreme rainfall. To determine the performance of the model before and after bias correction, statistical analysis was used namelyR2, NSE, and RMSE. Furthermore, ranking for every single model and Taylor Diagram was used to determine the best model. The results showed that the RCMs performance improved with bias correction. However, CSIRO-Mk3-6-0, CCSM4, GFDL-ESM2M, and MPI-ESM-MR models can be ignored as ensemble models, because they demonstrated poor performance in simulating rainfall. From this study, it was suggested that the best model in simulating daily and monthly rainfall was ACCESS1-0, while MIROC-ESM-CHEM (daily air temperature) and ACCESS1-0 (monthly air temperature) were best models used in simulating air temperature. Key words: RCM, bias correction, performance, rainfall, air temperature

Abstract

Problems for both delayed and accelerated activities in scheduling are common in most projects. This problem can implicate on the additional construction cost with different trends as a specific model. A model can provide valuable information to project acceleration judgement. This research aims to develop the TCTO sub-activity model of formwork, rebar work, and concrete work of the building structural beam on the projects in the North Aceh region. We have collected 33 data sourced from the project cost plan report and respondents judgment in the reviewed area. Descriptive statistics and the regression analysis are used to generate the TCTO model. The results show that the activity duration of the structural beam as broken down into sub-activities of formwork, rebar work and concrete work can be compressed until reaching 40%, 50%, and 40% of its normal duration, respectively. The additional cost of the compressed duration for each sub-activity shows the direct incremental cost per days of 3.67%, 3.63%, and 4.27% of its normal cost. Meanwhile, the possible crash cost of each the sub-activities are 122%, 118.15%, 125.61%, respectively. The models practically represent a linear model in the same daily pattern acceleration.

Abstract

The construction involves a series of activities that possibly face problems or risks. The risk probability is an uncertain condition that results in a negative impact on the project objectives. Threats can come from the resources factor in a construction project, such as labour, materials, and equipment. The handling of risks in construction work needs to be further reviewed. It is to find risk factors and risk variables contributing to high risk to achieve the quality objectives of construction implementation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the most significant risk towards the quality of construction associated with the condition of the Province of Aceh during 2000-2015. The situation is classified in three periods, namely political conflict (2000-2004 as Period I), rehabilitation and reconstruction (2005-2009 as Period II), and post-rehabilitation and reconstruction (2010-2015 as Period III). Dataset is collected using questionnaires to 15 large qualified contractor companies to capture construction quality information. The risk significance identified based on Risk Importance Index (RII) for frequency and severity of factors and variables. There are 7 variables for labour resources, 10 variables for material resources, and 17 variables for equipment resources. The quality of construction mostly affected by the labour resources factors in Period I and Period III. The risk comes from the variable discipline of workers who are not good (A3). For Period II, the lack of labour capacity (A2) variable become as the most significant risk.

Abstract

Present work was aimed at the development of α-Al2O3 supported ZnFe2O4 visible-light responsive photocatalysts. ZnFe2O4 and α-Al2O3 supported ZnFe2O4 were synthesized using co-precipitation method followed by calcination at 500 °C. The synthesized photocatalysts were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The synthesized ZnFe2O4 has low crystallinity.  The particle size of ZnFe2O4 is much smaller than that of the α-Al2O3 support, and ZnFe2O4 particles are dispersed on the surface of the crystalline α-Al2O3 support. 30 wt % ZnFe2O4/α-Al2O3 exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity for degradation of methylene blue dye than ZnFe2O4 and other α-Al2O3 supported photocatalysts containing 10 wt%, 20 wt% and 40 wt% ZnFe2O4. Kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye using 30 wt% ZnFe2O4/Al2O3 obeys Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model. Photocatalytic treatment of real textile wastewater resulted in more effective (when compared to photolytic treatment) in the reduction of wastewater’s chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, conductivity and total dissolved solids (TDS). 30 wt% ZnFe2O4/Al2O3 was found to be more effective than unsupported ZnFe2O4 for the reduction of wastewater’s COD, pH, conductivity and TDS.
