Abstract

Improving dose optimization during clinical planning using the treatment planning system for radiotherapy patients is crucial, yet executing this process can be time-consuming and reliant on the expertise of medical physicists. This research focuses on dose prediction employing machine learning for the planning target volume (PTV) and organ at risk (OAR) in cases of brain cancer treated with the volumetric modulated arc therapy planning technique. Utilizing DICOM planning data from brain cancer cases, this study utilizes extracted radiomic and dosiomic values as inputs and outputs for the research, employing a random forest algorithm model. Evaluation of the model reveals its effectiveness in predicting doses for PTV in brain cancer and OAR, with predicted homogeneity index and conformity index values of 0.14 ± 0.04 and 0.95 ± 0.01, respectively, compared to clinical values of 0.14 ± 0.13 and 0.94 ± 0.13. Thus, the random forest model demonstrates proficiency in predicting doses for brain cancer PTV and OAR, with an mean square error value of 0.017.

Abstract

A system has been developed for an Arduino-based rice ATM machine that utilises RFID and ultrasonic sensors. The system employs a quantitative research strategy and is designed to automatically distribute rice to the public. This device utilises the Arduino Uno microcontroller as its primary controller. The sensors employed for detection of rice quantity in the rice ATM machine are Ultrasonic Sensors. The activation card reader utilised to dispense rice is an radio frequency identification (RFID) reader. The output components responsible for the operation of the rice ATM machine are a Servo Motor, a 2X16 LCD, and a Buzzer. The study yielded satisfactory results as each component tested and utilised in the rice ATM machines successfully executed the controller programme commanded by Arduino. This programme effectively dispensed rice in the desired quantity, detected unauthorised cards, and accurately determined rice balances. Furthermore, the application of these components proved to be straightforward and uncomplicated. In public, this can be demonstrated through testing conducted on individual components or machines. RFID technology is used to read the frequency from the RFID card, while ultrasonic sensors detect the quantity of rice and generate a code using a buzzer. Additionally, an LCD display provides comprehensive information about the rice ATM's status, which users can easily comprehend. The mechanical system of the servo motor enables the movement of the exit door for rice weighing over 15 kg.

Abstract

The problem that people often face, both at home and in public places, is noise that disturbs concentration and comfort. Noise can be measured by sound level measurement, namely by measuring the intensity or loudness of sound in hertz and sound waves in decibels (dB). Then noise can be reduced by materials that can absorb sound, one of which is glass wool. The purpose of this research is to make a noise-measuring instrument, find out the effectiveness of damping materials, and compare the results of measuring noise levels. The measuring instrument for noise in this study is the sound level meter (SLM) using a KY-037 sound sensor programmed with Arduino Uno as a microcontroller. The results of noise measurements using a factory standard SLM and noise measurement tool KY-037 obtained an average factory standard SLM measurement of 72.23 dB and the average measurement of the KY-037 noise meter is 67.67 dB. From the measurement results with the two tools, the difference in comparison is 4.56 dB with a percent deviation of 6,33%. Then the results of testing the glasswool sound-dampening material with a comparison of the two measuring devices obtained that each sound intensity absorption was 17.9 – 28.5 dB and the effectiveness of the reduction was 21.8% – 34.9%.

Abstract

Oil palm is the most productive type of plant in producing vegetable oil. The development of the industrial revolution led to an explosion in demand for vegetable oil so palm oil was a major contributor to the country's foreign exchange. Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest oil palm plantations in the world. However, the yields produced are still not optimal due to several factors, namely the condition of soil pH, soil moisture, and the surrounding temperature. Soil contains nutrients such as nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorus (P) which oil palm plants need in certain amounts to grow. To find out the quality of the soil, several methods are carried out by taking a soil sample and using a soil pH meter, however, this method requires a long time and the measurement is only limited to measuring soil pH. This research produced a system for detecting soil pH, soil moisture, and temperature around the soil on an IoT-based land that will be planted with oil palm, as the controller is NodeMCU ESP32. This tool displays soil pH, soil moisture, and air temperature on the LCD screen and the Blynk application page so that it can be accessed anytime and anywhere. This will make it easier for oil palm farmers to obtain accurate information before planting oil palm on vacant land. After testing and data collection, the soil pH sensor has a good correlation with an error rate of 1.71%, soil moisture of 1.23%, and air temperature of 4.04%. So that this sensor can be implemented on vacant land before planting oil palm.

Abstract

The separator is a crucial element in lithium-ion batteries that is positioned between the anode and cathode. Its primary function is to prevent direct contact between the electrodes, hence avoiding electrical short circuits. Lithium ion battery separators are typically composed of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymers, which possess excellent ionic conductivity and mechanical qualities. Nevertheless, these polymers and materials possess numerous drawbacks, necessitating adjustments for their further development. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of incorporating novel polymers into the constituents of the separator. The alteration utilises a novel polymer called cellulose, specifically the cellulose derivative known as cellulose acetate. The cellulose acetate utilised is derived from the empty fruit bunches of oil palm trees. Cellulose acetate offers several benefits, including affordability, the ability to selectively adsorb substances, solubility in a wide range of solvents (particularly organic solvents), hydrophilicity, and its origin from renewable sources. The separator was fabricated using the reflux process, which involved mixing 5.6 g of PVDF and 0.7 g of Al(OH)3 with varying amounts of CA (0.1 g, 0.2 g, and 0.3 g). The conducted tests include the thickness test, elongation test, and PSA test. According to the test results, the separator is viable and complies with the standards.
