Abstract

Potensi batugamping di Indonesia sangat besar dan hamper merata di seluruh Indonesia. Data yang pasti mengenai jumlah cadangan batugamping di Indonesia belum ada, namun secara umum jumlah batugamping Indonesia mencapai 28,678 miliyar ton. Salah satu provinsi dengan cadangan batugamping terbesar merupakan Nusa Tenggara Timur. Penelitian yang dilakukan untuk mengetahui kadar CaO yang terkandung pada batugamping kalkarenit dan batugamping kristalin dengan metode kalsinasi menggunakan tanur listrik kemudian dilakukan analisa menggunakan XRD. Adapun hasil pengujian sampel batugamping kalkarenit dengan menggunakan tanur listrik kadar CaO yang dihasilkan sebesar 47% sedangkan sampel batugamping kristalin kadar CaO yang dihasilkan 94%.

Abstract

FFAR4/GPR120 is an attractive membrane protein for diabetic drug design. Crystal structure of GPCR membrane proteins is difficult to obtain. Most of GPCR proteins lack experimental 3D structures. Therefore, computational method (in silico) using comparative homology modelling has been widely applied to solve it. To develop FFAR4/GPR120 selective compounds with high specificity, homology modelling of FFAR4/GPR120 can be constructed by utilizing other known GPCR crystal structures. This review article surveys the recent developments in the application of computational approaches in searching for selective agonist ligands and provides a perspective on computational approaches to the development of new drugs targeting FFAR4/GPR120.

Abstract

The use of pumice and sand as a media in Constructed wetland (CW) system to reduce anionic surfactant has been carried out. This research aimed to investigation the efficiency of pumice and sand in CW system with and without plant (cymbopogon citrates) for CW anionic surfactant removal. There were six variation of CW treatments based on percentage pumice amended in the sand media. The anionic surfactant were analysed using UV-VIS spectrophotometry with metilen blue methods. Results of the analysis on oneway anova showed that the efficiency removal of anionic surfactant in inflow and outflow is significant different, on the variation of media of pumice 10% and sand 90% (CW B) reduced anionic surfactant levels efficiently from an average of 0,481 ppm ppm to 0,188 ppm with a decrease in percentage value of 60,91%.

Abstract

Energy demands including electricity consumptions have been increasing rapidly inrecent years. Silicon solar cells, the most highly used cells dominating global markets,contribute significantly in providing sustainable form of energy. More importantly, itpromisingly enables people especially in rural and remote areas to have access to electricitythat could potentially stimulate rural development. However, this energy platform still suffersfor high production and maintenance costs and the use of hazardous materials. Softinterface solar cells seems to take advantage over silicon solar cell design but review articlesexplaining the advantages of this new approach are rarely found. This article provides ageneral overview about an emerging solar cell based on liquid│liquid junction interface fromchemistry perspective, highlights its benefits over silicon based solar cells and argues thatthis technology is a potential substitute for the existing ones by focusing specifically on theissues of costs, environmental impacts, electron transfer and fabrication techniques.

Abstract

Cooking oil which is exposed to high temperatures of up to 200 °C during the cooking process, leads to the formation of hazardous substances that are potentially dangerous to human health. However, people sometimes use the same cooking oil repeatedly without considering the negative effects that it causes. In this work, we investigated the use of two different types of adsorbent namely activated charcoal and activated zeolite sequentially to improve the quality of waste cooking oil (WCO) using the adsorption method. It was found that for 30 mL of WCO, the optimum dose of adsorbent was 7.5 g and the optimum contact time was 20 minutes. When these two types of adsorbent were applied sequentially for the purification of WCO at the optimum conditions, the result obtained indicated the lower value of the acid number, peroxide number, viscosity, and water content, compared to the WCO that treated only with a single type of adsorbent.

Abstract

The completion of human genome project at beginning of 21st century with the advancement of computer technology has transformed Biochemistry into a genomic era. Further, it is accelerated by parallel and massive genome sequencing technology known as next generation sequencing (NGS) that enhances the identification of genetic variants associated with complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer. Currently, this knowledge has been driving the development of precision and personalized medicine. Wisely applied, it is believed that the explosion of genomic big data can be of great use in advancing the diagnosis, therapy and drug discovery to combat complex diseases.

Abstract

A research on the conducted on the use of fly ash as an adsorbent in used cooking oil. This research was conducted with the aim to know the characteristics of fly ash without activation and activation with 6M HCl and to improve the quality of used cooking oil from adsorbent processing based on the Indonesian national standard (SNI). This research was conducted in several stages, namely surface acidity with the titration method, determination of surface area with the blue methylene method, determination of functional groups by FTIR analysis and oil quality based on parameters of acid number, peroxide number and smoke point. The results showed that the acidity of the surface of the fly ash was activated and without activation of 4 and 3.6 m2 / g respectively. surface area of ​​fly ash without activation 17,480 m2/g at contact time 80 and activated fly ash 18,471 m2/g at contact time 70. FTIR spectra of fly ash without activation 795,38 and 779.95 cm-1 and activated 795.38 and 778,02 cm-1 which is a symmetrical stretching adsorption band of symmetric ≡Si-O (≡Si-O-Si≡). Fly ash used for refining used cooking oil (2,468 mg KOH / g) is able to reduce the acid number 0.361 mg KOH / g in activated fly ash and 0.561 mg KOH / g for fly ash without activation, the peroxide number for activated fly ash decreased by 72.34% compared to fly ash without activation 69.14%, oil smoke point purification results from activated fly ash 203ºC and without activation 210ºC which is close to the new oil smoke point value of 200ºC. When compared with SNI, the values ​​of acid numbers, peroxide numbers and smoke points meet the standard.

Abstract

A study of the essential oil content in basil (Ocimum sanctum) and red lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle) originally grown in Flores island has been conducted. The purpose of this study was to identify the chemotype of the essential oils obtained over stahl distillation using GC-MS. The Ocimum mainly consisted of 55% eugenol following by minor trans-alfa-bergometena, patchulana, and linalool. Meanwhile, the chemotype of the red lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus L. rendle) were citronellol (22%), citronella, cyclohexamethanol, and viridiflorol.
