Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of palm fiber (Arenga pinnata) in the production of fiber nets and to evaluate their efficiency as an erosion control method on mountainous slopes with a 40° inclination. The palm fiber net was manufactured from natural palm fibers woven into a mesh size of 5 cm × 5 cm and applied as a surface cover on sloping land. The research was conducted in Binajaya Village, Tolangohula District, Gorontalo Regency, from October to December 2024. The research methodology included the fabrication and vertical installation of palm fiber nets following the slope direction, the establishment of experimental plots, and the measurement of soil loss caused by surface runoff. Plots equipped with palm fiber nets were compared with untreated plots as control samples. Rainfall data were obtained from NASA POWER and analyzed together with soil erosion data collected from five rainfall events. The results obtained in this study were, in plot 1 using the net obtained the highest eroded mass of 8.2 kg and the lowest eroded mass of 1.7 kg, and plot 2 without using the net with the highest eroded mass of 23.8 kg and the lowest eroded mass of 5.6 kg. The efficiency of the palm fiber net was 72.1%. These findings demonstrate palm fiber nets effectively reduce soil erosion by decreasing rainfall impact energy, slowing surface runoff, and retaining soil particles. Therefore, palm fiber nets have strong potential as an environmentally friendly, natural-based soil conservation method for erosion control on steep slopes.

Abstract

Breast cancer has become the most commonly suffered cancer in society, with approximately 66,271 cases of breast cancer in 2022. Breast cancer treatment can be carried out in various ways, one of which is radiotherapy, which has been proven effective in reducing recurrence rates and cancer symptoms. Treatment Planning System (TPS) is a device used for radiotherapy planning by optimizing the dose. One of the irradiation techniques that can be applied using TPS is the Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy technique (IMRT). The research method uses the analysis of TPS planning results, namely DVH curve, which displays the dose distribution from the radiotherapy planning. The dose parameters analyzed are the Homogeneity Index (HI), Conformity Index (CI), and the dose comparison on the PTV and OAR according to QUANTEC, ICRU 62 of 1999, and ICRU 83 of 2010. The analysis was conducted statistically using SPSS and descriptively by examining the graphs formed from the calculations. The results obtained are HI values around 0,1–0,8, the CI value is 0,75–0,95, and the PTV95% value at 90% does not meet the ICRU requirement, which is PTV95% > 95%. The limits set by the ICRU are not met in all patients for PTV107%, which is PTV107% < 1%. The dose limits for the OAR lungs are met for all patients. However, in one patient, the dose received was very close to the QUANTEC limit, with the volume receiving a dose of 20 Gy being 29%, which is close to the QUANTEC limit of V20 < 30%.

Abstract

This research investigates the numeric solution of the time-independent Schrödinger equation for the quantum harmonic oscillator by finite difference approach. The harmonic oscillator, described by a quadratic function potential, is a fundamental model in quantum mechanics due to its broad applications, ranging from molecular vibrations to quantum field theory. The time-independent Schrödinger equation is a second-order differential equation that typically poses challenges when solved analytically for complex potentials. The finite difference method become an attractive choice as it transforms the continuous differential equation into a system of linear equations that can be computationally solved through computer programming code. In this study, the spatial domain is discretized, and the second derivative is calculated by using central differences, transforming the TISE into a tridiagonal matrix representing Hamiltonian of system. By finding solutions to this matrix eigenvalue problem, wavefunctions and eigenvalues are obtained. The study results demonstrate that the finite difference approach effectively solves the TISE for the harmonic oscillator. The results obtained by using the finite difference method closely approximate the analytical results. The linear regression results show respectively that the gradient (β1), regression coefficient (β0) and coefficient of determination (R²) approach ideal values of 1, 0, and 1. The z-test results also show that the value of calculated z < critical z, indicating that the wavefunction and probability density, whether estimated by using finite difference approach or analytical methods, are equivalent with confidence level of 95 percent.

Abstract

Precipitation, particularly rainfall, is vital in understanding weather and climate. In Indonesia, the uneven distribution of in situ rainfall observations poses a challenge to accurately measuring surface rainfall. Remote sensing systems and cloud computing technologies, such as Google Earth Engine (GEE), offer potential solutions. This study evaluates the spatial distribution and performance of four multi-satellite rainfall estimates available in GEE, namely CHIRPS, GSMAP, GPM-IMERG, and PERSIANN-CDR, before and after calibration using BMKG rain gauge data in South Sulawesi during the 2018–2023 period. The original multi-satellite data revealed significant discrepancies, with an annual RMSE of 1534 mm/year, a yearly RSQ value of 0.3, and an annual RBIAS of 27% compared to observational data. Among the datasets, O_CHPS demonstrated the best spatial similarity visually. Calibration using the Geographical Differential Analysis (GDA) method effectively enhanced the accuracy, reducing the annual RMSE to 807 mm/year, increasing the yearly RSQ to 0.5, and lowering the annual bias to 1.6%. Improvements were also noted in monthly and daily rainfall estimates. After calibration, C_PRSN exhibited the most favorable spatial distribution and performance, achieving a 26% reduction in annual RMSE, a 105% increase in annual RSQ, and a 101% decrease in annual bias compared to its initial data. Furthermore, sensitivity to elevation and rainfall intensity was enhanced, with improved detection indicators, particularly for heavy to extreme rainfall events. This included a 43% increase in POD, a 262% increase in CSI, and a 42% reduction in FAR.

Abstract

The increasing need for electrical energy due to technological growth requires using sustainable alternative energy sources. One potential energy source is solar energy, which can be converted into electricity through a thermoelectric generator (TEG). This study aims to design an optimal TEG configuration in converting heat from zinc roofs into electricity and to analyze the effect of variations in the shape of zinc roofs on the electrical power generated. The method used is an experiment with variations in the type of zinc roof, e.g. plate, wave, and box, and the TEG circuit configuration, e.g series and parallel. Measurements were made on the temperature, voltage, current, and electrical power generated, both with and without supercapacitors as energy storage. The results showed that zinc plates with a parallel configuration produced the highest electrical power of 0.01372 W, compared to zinc boxes and wave zinc. The parallel configuration proved to be more efficient than the series configuration. In addition, using supercapacitors also increases the electrical power generated and allows for greater energy storage.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer in Indonesia, accounting for 4.6% of cases according to the 2022 GLOBOCAN report, with radiotherapy using the IMRT technique being the primary treatment method. The MLC plays a crucial role in regulating radiation dose distribution, ensuring optimal dose delivery to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy organs, known as OAR. This study aims to analyze the impact of MLC usage on dose distribution to OAR, particularly the brainstem, chiasm, and spinal cord. This research was conducted through a secondary analysis of radiotherapy treatment planning data from 10 nasopharyngeal cancer patients using TPS at TK II Pelamonia Hospital in Makassar. The analyzed parameters include CI and HI to evaluate dose conformity and homogeneity within the target tumor, as well as the absorbed dose in OAR, which was compared against QUANTEC tolerance limits. The results indicate that CI and HI values fall within the recommended range, suggesting an optimal dose distribution to the target tumor. The maximum dose received by the brainstem and chiasm remained within the safe threshold (<54 Gy), while the spinal cord in two patients exceeded the recommended limit (<45 Gy) by 3.434 and 0.881 Gy. This discrepancy is attributed to factors such as tumor location and volume, anatomical variations among patients, and differences in MLC thickness. The use of MLC in IMRT planning effectively modulates dose distribution; however, further of various planning parameters is necessary in certain cases to ensure dose safety for specific OAR.

Abstract

Rainfall in an area can be influenced by several meteorological factors, including the geographical location of an area, temperature, air pressure, air humidity, wind direction and speed, and other factors. This study aimed to analyze meteorological factors such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure, as well as wind direction and speed, on rainfall in South Kuta. The effect of temperature, pressure, and air humidity variations on rainfall was analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 software with the multiple linear regression method. The impact of wind direction on the distribution of rainfall in South Kuta was analyzed using WRPLOT View software version 8.0.2 with the windrose method. From the study, the multiple linear regression equation was obtained, namely Y = -175.008 + (-0.451) X₁ + 1.212X₂ + 0.094X₃ + 0.093X₄ with an R2 value of 12.8%, which indicates that only 12.8% of these meteorological factors affect rainfall where air humidity has the most dominant influence with a significance value of p <0.05. Wind direction impact analysis produces a windrose showing that during the rainy season, the dominant wind blows from the West, bringing high humidity. In the dry season, the dominant wind blows from the East, Northeast, and Southeast, bringing low humidity.

Abstract

The Gorontalo region is located in an active tectonic zone, so it has a high level of seismic activity. Understanding the geometry of the subduction zone in this region is important for assessing earthquake hazards and disaster mitigation efforts. This study models the angle and depth of subduction of the subduction plate beneath the surface of the Gorontalo region using earthquake data from the USGS catalog from 1994 to 2024. The analysis was carried out using the vertical section method (cross-section), which divides the study area into three segments, namely A, B, and C. Each segment was analyzed using polynomial regression to determine the subduction pattern. The results show that the megathrust zone is at a depth of < 50 km, while the Benioff zone reaches up to 300 km. The obtained subduction angles are 49.01°-59.09° in Segment A, 6.49°-71.76° in Segment B, and 19.87°-58.15° in Segment C. These results show variations in subduction geometry that reflect the tectonic complexity of the Gorontalo region.
