Abstract

Rainfall above normal can be categorized as extreme rainfall. Extreme rainfall can be caused by various factors, such as global, local, and regional factors. Some regional factors that influence rainfall are the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Padang City has high rainfall intensity which can result in extreme rainfall. The lack of adequate disaster mitigation results in flood disasters when extreme rainfall occurs. Therefore, this research aims to determine normal rainfall, extreme rainfall trends and the relationship between the MJO and IOD phenomena with the frequency of extreme rainfall in Padang City. This information is needed for future disaster mitigation planning. The method used is the time series method and statistical correlation test. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that Padang City is an area with an equatorial rain type, where the highest rainfall occurs in November with a value of 512 mm and the lowest in May with a value of 268 mm. The trend in extreme rainfall tends to decrease with regression coefficient values ​​of 0.0412 and 0.0708. There is a significant relationship between the number of negative IOD events and the frequency of extreme rainfall with a correlation coefficient of 0.483 and 0.403 which indicates a moderate correlation. There is no significant correlation between the number of strong MJO events in Phases 3 and 4 and the frequency of extreme rainfall, with a correlation coefficient of -0.038 – 0.105.

Abstract

Patients with fractures continue to increase from year to year. So that the need for biomaterials is very high and has had a considerable impact, especially in the field of orthopedic medicine. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is one of the suitable biomaterials for bone implants. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) with the chemical formula C10(PO4)6O2H2 is a calcium phosphate that contains hydroxide, which is classified as a mineral in the apatite group. HAp can be obtained from natural waste such as the eggshells of a chicken. This is because chicken eggshells have a very high CaO content (98,43%) which serves as a precursor in the synthesis of HAp. The purpose of this research the aim of observing the effect of stirring time on the purity of the HAp produced and to see the optimum stirring time used to produce good HAp. In this study, HAp was synthesized using a precipitation method by varying the stirring time. Based on variations in stirring time of 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, and 5 hours, the purity of HAp obtained was 15%, 49%, 66%, 82%, and 50%, respectively. Therefore, it was concluded that the optimal stirring time to produce HAp with the highest purity is at a time interval of 4 hours.

Abstract

Bengkulu Province has a high level of seismicity with significant earthquakes preceded by the phenomenon of decreased seismic activity (seismic quiescence) which can be seen through observing changes in seismic rate in an area based on the spatial distribution of z values. This study uses data from the USGS website for the period 1925-2021 to study seismic rates changes based on the spatial distribution of z values. In this study there are seven research focus zones, five major earthquake zones 1934 (7.0 SR), 1943 (7.0 SR), 2000 (7.0 SR), 2001 (7.0 SR), 2007 (7.7 SR), as well as two seismic activity zones with coordinates -5.6° to -4° south latitude and 101.6° to 103.4° east longitude and a seismic gap zone with coordinates –4.2° to -2.5° South latitude and 102.6° to 104.5° East longitude. The observation result show that before the earthquake occurred in the period 1925-2021, Before the earthquake, there had been a seismic quiescence phenomena. Four years before 2021, the seismic quiescence phenomena occurs in high seismic activity zones., while the seismic gap area occurs seven years before 2021. Overall, the seismic activity analysis result in Bengkulu province area shows an increase and decrease in seismic activity simultaneously in several different areas. This should be suspected of being the beginning of a significant earthquake in the future.

Abstract

Graphite acts as a source of carbon which is used in the synthesis of graphene oxide. Graphite has a fairly high price, so there are limitations to the use of graphite on a large scale. Brown sea grass (Sargassum sp.) contains carbon and is not yet well exploited in Indonesia, so experiments can be done by mixing graphite and Sargassum sp. to minimize excessive use of graphite. The purpose of this study is to determine the addition of Sargassum sp. charcoal could affect the microstructure of graphene oxide synthesized using the modified Hummer method. Where a comparison of 5 variations of the composition of pure graphite and Sargassum sp. charcoal was carried out, namely (100:0; 70:30; 60:40; 50:50, and 0:100) %. The resulting graphene oxide was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It can be concluded that the addition of Sargassum sp. charcoal to pure graphite influences the microstructure of the graphene oxide. In the XRD test, an average crystal size of 24-33 nm with a cubic crystal structure was obtained; in the FTIR test, there was a bond between carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O); and in the SEM test, the average particle size was 1647–1887 nm. If 30% Sargassum sp. charcoal is added to 70% pure graphite, the larger the particle size. This causes the surface pores to become larger so that their properties as supercapacitors are better produced and have structures that tend to be like pieces.

Abstract

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are abundant in the structure of graphene oxide (GO), often known as graphene. In this study, petung bamboo was used in the manufacture of graphene oxide. The aim of this research is to find out how the sintering temperature influences the ability of graphene oxide to absorb waves. The modified hummer method is used to oxidize graphite and produce Graphene Oxide. This research was divided into several parts, namely burning carbonized petung bamboo, production of graphene oxide, and sonication and neutralization of graphene oxide using sintering temperatures of 300°C, 350°C, 400°C and 450°C. The synthesis results were characterized using a UV-Vis spectrometer to obtain an absorption spectrum resulting in a band gap of 2.68 eV-4.38 eV in Petung bamboo at a sintering temperature of 300oC - 400oC, the bandgap increasing as the sintering temperature increased. At a sintering temperature of 400oC - 450oC the band gap value decreases which is influenced by the results of cell changes from refinement which can change the band structure thereby affecting the size of the band gap. The absorption value obtained in the optical properties decreases because the high sintering temperature causes the reaction rate to become faster so that the absorption value becomes lower.

Abstract

Widespread use of synthetic plastics that are not biodegradable and made from non-renewable petrochemical sources endangers the environment. Using biopolymers like starch, gluten, and guar gum to create biodegradable plastics is one way to reduce the use of synthetic plastics. One of the materials that can be used as biodegradable is taro starch. This study's goal was to ascertain how adding carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) concentration affected the physical characteristics of taro-based biodegradable plastic. This sort of study is experimental, with the concentration of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) added as the independent variable and the mass of starch, glycerol plasticizer, distilled water, and sample thickness of 0.24 mm as the controls. Tests carried out include tensile strength and elongation tests as well as water resistance tests and tests of the ability of biodegradable plastics to degrade in soil. This study involved altering CMC by up to 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, and 35% (w/w starch) while using up to 5 grams of taro starch as the mixing material and up to 3 ml of glycerol plasticizer as the plasticizer concentration. The test findings demonstrated that adding starch with a CMC concentration of up to 35% w/w had an impact on the plastic's tensile strength and elongation values. The percentage of weight loss of biodegradable polymers increases when CMC concentration is added, and the level of water resistance decreases when CMC concentration is added in amounts up to 35% w/w starch.
