Abstract

Viscosity is crucial to improve the efficiency of injected fluids for oil displacement in reservoirs. Traditionally, research has focused on polymers that help reduce the mobility of injected fluids, while surfactant viscosity has received less consideration. This research investigated the viscosity behavior of methyl ester sulfonate (MES) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) surfactant solutions using a machine learning method—adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS). This study aimed to predict the viscosity of surfactant solutions. Experimental data included viscosity measurements of 36 MES and SLS samples at various concentrations and temperatures, obtained by digitizing viscosity curves. These data served as input and validation for the ANN and ANFIS models. The results showed that ANFIS predicted viscosity values ​​reliably, yielding only 1.33% and 0.43% differences for MES and SLS, respectively. Comparison of viscosity prediction with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) showed that ANFIS prediction was better, because ANN yielded two deviating predictions.

This study aims to design and evaluate a ship rudder control prototype in accordance with SOLAS safety standards. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D), which includes needs analysis, system design, prototype development, and model testing. The cargo ship prototype is equipped with an HMC5883L compass sensor, an Arduino microcontroller, and a servo motor as the rudder actuator. Data processing and PID algorithm implementation are carried out using Visual Basic software. The PID parameters used are Kp = 0.001, Ki = 0.001, and Kd = 0.2, obtained through a tuning process. Testing was conducted in a controlled pool under calm water conditions. The results show that the system achieves a steady-state condition in an average time of 21 seconds with minimal overshoot and small deviation from the setpoint, while complying with the SOLAS requirement of a maximum rudder angle of 35°.

Abstract

This study investigates the optimization of manufacturing femoral components for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) using Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) simulation and 5-axis CNC milling, followed by dimensional verification based on 3D scanning. The machining process was simulated in Autodesk PowerMill to generate collision-free toolpaths for AISI 316L stainless steel. Dimensional verification was conducted by comparing the 3D-scanned physical model (using Creality CR-Scan Ferret Pro) with the original CAD model in Geomagic Control X. The metrological analysis showed a Root Mean Square (RMS) deviation of 0.5317 mm and an average positive deviation of 0.2572 mm. Spatial deviation analysis revealed significant dimensional variations, with a maximum deviation of +2.5761 mm and a minimum deviation of -2.5713 mm. Specifically, in critical functional regions, the medial and lateral condyles exhibited deviations ranging from -0.4683 mm to 0.232 mm, while the patellar groove showed a deviation of 0.1989 mm. Although the machining strategy successfully produced the complex implant geometry, the tolerance distribution data indicated that only 17.22% of the surface fell within the strictly specified tolerances, highlighting the need for further optimization of cutting parameters and fixturing strategies to minimize surface roughness and dimensional inaccuracies.

Abstract

Red ginger contains diverse bioactive compounds with strong antioxidant and antibacterial activities. This study investigated the influence of growth location on the anti-Salmonella activity of red ginger extracts from seven regions in Java, Indonesia. The fractions were analyzed for total phenolic and flavonoid contents, as well as antioxidant capacity using DPPH and FRAP assays. Antibacterial activity was assessed against Salmonella using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Results showed that methanol and ethyl acetate fractions exhibited the highest phenolic and flavonoid contents, while the chloroform fraction demonstrated the strongest radical scavenging activity. Extracts from Bumiaji and Lendah displayed the most potent anti-Salmonella activity (inhibition zone: 10.08 to 18.00 mm). These findings highlight that altitude and solvent polarity influence red ginger bioactivity, supporting its potential as a natural antibacterial source.

Abstract

Post-pandemic tourism is characterized by increasing behavioral heterogeneity as digital technologies reshape travel planning and mobility practices, challenging traditional demographic-based segmentation. This study develops a techno-behavioral, data-driven segmentation framework within the Smart Tourism Ecosystem perspective by conceptualizing digital adoption as a mediating mechanism between socio-demographic attributes and travel behavior. Using survey data from 805 domestic tourists in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, TwoStep Cluster Analysis (log-likelihood distance; BIC-based cluster selection) identifies two distinct segments: Digital Leisure Travelers (DLT) and Budget-Conscious Digital Natives (BDN). The clustering solution demonstrates fair quality (Silhouette = 0.32). Predictor-importance and validation tests indicate that income, education, generational cohort, and digital application use are the strongest discriminators, while itinerary intensity differs significantly between clusters (p < 0.001; η² = 0.10). The findings highlight that widespread digital engagement produces differentiated mobility outcomes shaped by socio-economic capacity, emphasizing the need for segment-sensitive and inclusive smart tourism strategies.

Abstract

Magnesium AZ31B is a promising biodegradable implant material due to its mechanical properties comparable to natural bone and its ability to degrade in physiological environments, potentially eliminating the need for secondary surgery. However, its rapid degradation can cause a significant loss of mechanical integrity, limiting its use in load-bearing applications. This study investigates the evolution of mechanical properties and surface characteristics of AZ31B during in-vitro immersion in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). Tensile tests were conducted on triplicate specimens after immersion for 3, 6, and 9 days, while surface morphology and corrosion products were analyzed using SEM–EDX. In addition, pH variation and mass loss were monitored to evaluate corrosion behavior. The results show a progressive decrease in tensile strength from 279.77 ± 5.30 MPa (0 days) to 167.64 ± 2.31 MPa after 9 days of immersion, representing an overall reduction of approximately 40%. This degradation was accompanied by increased surface corrosion, mass loss, and solution alkalization. These findings provide quantitative insight into the relationship between corrosion progression and mechanical degradation of AZ31B, highlighting its time-dependent performance limitations and the need for surface modification strategies in biodegradable implant applications.

Abstract

The construction sector plays a critical role in sustainability through effective construction waste management. In Indonesia, green building practices are guided by the Green Construction Site Index (GCSI) and the Minister of Public Works and Housing Regulation No. 21 of 2021; however, their strategic alignment with Lean Construction principles remains limited. This study examines the strategic integration of Lean Construction into green building regulations by validating regulatory-based indicators using the three Lean Construction pillars: Systems Management, Technology Management, and Culture and Behaviour. A questionnaire survey of construction practitioners was analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The results reveal a robust three-factor structure, accounting for 80.1% of the total variance, with Systems Management as the dominant dimension. The findings provide practical insights for strengthening regulatory coherence, improving waste reduction strategies, and enhancing sustainable performance during the construction phase of building projects.

Abstract

Plastic waste is a major environmental problem in Indonesia due to its non-biodegradable nature. One innovative solution is converting waste into energy using Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) briquettes for small-scale power generation. This research designed and tested an RDF-based micro power plant prototype using briquettes composed of 80% dry organic biomass and 20% plastic for safe and stable combustion. The prototype consists of a combustion chamber, heat exchanger, impulse-type micro steam turbine driven by low-pressure steam, and a 12V low-speed DC generator. Performance was evaluated through temperature, voltage, current, power output, and efficiency measurements. The highest performance was achieved using 500 g of RDF, producing 0.02 A, 0.7 V, and 0.014 W at 135°C over 20 minutes, with an efficiency of 2.69×10⁻⁶%. Although efficiency was very low, the study demonstrates proof-of-concept feasibility and provides a baseline for future optimization of thermal and energy conversion efficiency.

Abstract

Post-consumer textile waste poses significant environmental problems, but its potential for commercial recycling remains under-researched. Therefore, this study utilizes calico textile (CT) waste as reinforcement in polymer composites. The effect of layering number of CT in epoxy composite will be investigated. CT was varied with three layers, namely 1, 3, and 5 embedded in epoxy resin with the hand lay-up method in open molding. The mechanical testing of pure epoxy as a control point for tensile, flexural, and impact strengths of 13.68 MPa, 16.44 MPa, and 0.013 J/mm². In tensile strength, the increase occurred in CT1 and CT3 by 21% and 39.7%, A significant rise of 43.5% occurred in the CT5 flexural test, and impact strength saw a significant jump from CT1 to CT3 by 58%. Overall, observations of the composite laminar tensile fracture morphology indicate that the longitudinal loading effectively increases the tensile strength. However, void bubbles were found between the textile layers, but this condition does not contribute a significant reduces the mechanical performance. Further research is recommended using the synthetic fabric waste as a reinforcement composite.
