A study concerning the adsorption of Mg (II) ions using phosporilation chitin adsorbent. The process is a surface modification of adsorbent chitin by enriching the phosphate group that acts as a hard base so it would be more suitable binding Mg (II) ions, which acts as a hard acid. This research aims to study the effect of contact time and concentration variations of Mg (II) ions on the adsorption process using phosporilation chitin adsorbent. Variables to be examined in this study in order are contact times (40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 minutes) and the concentration of Mg (II) ions variation are (10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 ppm). The results for the characterization of phosporilation chitin adsorbent can be detect from the IR absorption band at wavenumber 1099.35 cm-1 are suspected of phosphate ions and IR absorption band at wave number 1272.93 cm-1 and 1201.57 cm-1 are estimated as phosphate covalent. The contacts times significantly affect the adsorption Mg (II) ions by the phosporilation chitin adsorbent, then the optimum of contact time is 120 minutes. Adsorption capacity of phosporilation chitin adsorbent for the Mg(II) ions is 499 mg/g.

Tamarind has bioactive compounds that can exhibit antimicrobial activities but further information about its specific compounds and the antibacterial activity changes between crude extract and isolate had not been repoted yet. Crude extract of tamarind pulp in this experiment was tested for phytochemical compounds and antibacterial activity (MIC and MBC). In order to isolate and identify antibacterial compounds, column chromatography, thin layer chromatography (TLC), and gas chromatography (GC-MS) were applied. Mobile phase for column chromatography was ethyl acetate:ethanol in 100:0 until 0:100 ratio. The maximum wavelengths for all fractions were scanned and all concentrated fractions used for antibacterial activity test. The result showed the best inhibition zone came from FD-2 fraction (2nd fraction of ethyl acetate:ethanol = 70:30 ratio). FD-2 fraction had MIC 1.18% and MBC 4.70% for Pseudomonas sp., MIC 0.54% and MBC 2.16% for Listeria monocytogenes. Its activity was smaller than the crude extract that had MIC 0.65% and MBC 2.61% for Pseudomonas sp., MIC 0.46% and MBC 1.85% for Listeria monocytogenes. For the next step, FD-2 fraction was separated using thin layer chromatography. The best single spot was given by ethyl acetate:ethanol = 0:1 with the maximum wavelength 368 nm; 458.5 nm; and 550 nm. Fraction was identified with GC-MS resulted antibacterial compounds such as hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, 11-octadecenoic acid methyl ester, 9-octadecenoic acid, eicosanioc acid, stigmasterol, and gamma-sitosterol.

In this study developed a program calculating the estimated radiation dose to the cancer by using a program that can run on a variety of computer operating systems platforms. The program used is a Java application programming interface (API) Greenfoot. The program determines the value of the accumulated dose received by each pixel in multiple beam irradiation with attenuation values obtained from the analysis of data Hounsfield value CT-scan. Hounsfield value of each pixel is generated based on the relationship value of grayscale linearity then. Hounsfield value of the CT-scan converted into the value of the gamma-ray attenuation. The dose received by the skin surface used as a reference to determine the length of time considered organ irradiation in static conditions on the program. Movement of the target irradiation in treatment may reduce the efficiency level of success. Moving organ radiation Treatment can be done. Radiation pulse period set for the radiation beam on the target in this phase organ reaches ± 60% of the maximum volume. A pulse rays will be effect the long exposure time can be calculated with the program.

In this research has been carried out the stability analysis of HIV/AIDS epidemic model with a public health educational through the expansion of the SI (susceptible-infected) model. In modeling of HIV/AIDS epidemic, the population is divided into six subpopulations: uneducated susceptible individuals, educated susceptible individuals, uneducated infected individuals without AIDS symptoms, educated infected individuals with AIDS symptoms, uneducated infected individuals with AIDS symptoms and educated infected individuals with AIDS symptoms. The disease-free equilibrium point of the HIV transmission model with education program is locally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is less than unity and unstable if the basic reproduction number is greater than unity. The endemic equilibrium point is exist if the effective reproduction number is greater than unity and stability of endemic equilibrium point has been determined using the Center manifold theory. The center manifold theory can be used to analyze the stability near the disease-free equilibrium point (the effective reproduction number is equal to unity). The impact of a public health education on the spread of HIV/AIDS, the sensitivity analysis on effective reproduction numbers respect to all the parameters which drive the disease dynamics.

Pulung Region, Ponorogo major city, Indonesia is one of the area in Indonesia which is prone of the local earthquake threat. Since 1963, there was about 7 big earthquakes, where 1 earthquake was destroyed earthquake and 2 events occured at the Pulung region. The two those earthquakes occured at Pulung were in 1993 and 1999, with the magnitude was 3.7 SR and 5.6 SR respectively. The last event was on February 2011, therefore it’s necessary to study and determine the seismicity. In addition the relocation analysis using Grid Searching seismicity showed that the distribution of earthquakes shifted to the East direction, with the coordinat of from 7.8122º to 7153º SL and 111.6360o to 111.7303° EL, the depth of earthquakes varies between 0.532 km and 7250 km, and the magnitude was between 1.4 and 2.0 SR. It is hoped that this result can be used for the govermnment of Ponorogo to mitigate of earthquake impact.

Pectinase can be used on various fruit juices clarification; however, the activities can be affected by their metal ions content. The purpose of this study was to determine the type of metal ions inhibition i.e. Zn2+; Mg2+ and Ca2+ on the pectinase activity of Aspergillus niger, and its potential application in guava juice clarification. Activity assays performed at pH 5, temperature 50°C during 55minutes and each ion concentration were 2-10 mM. Galacturonic acid concentration, as the product of pectin substrate hydrolysis, used as the basis for determining its activity and analyzed by visible spectrophotometry. The results showed that the ions concentration of Zn2+ and Mg2+ more than 4 mM were inhibitor for pectinase activity while Ca2+ ion concentration was 6mM. KI values for the metal ions Zn2+; Mg2+ and Ca2+ at concentrations of 6mM were 176.99; 326.09 and 280.37 mM respectively. Pectinase from Aspergillus niger were able to reduce 18% of pectin of guava juice.

A set of experiment has been done at STACY facility and many fundamental parameters of uranyl nitrate solution have been found out. Criticality is one of main parameters in predicting neutronic characteristic of STACY experiment beside solution level reactivity, void reactivity, kinetic parameter and temperature reactivity which dominates transient phenomenon in abnormal condition. Criticality experiment performed at STACY core uses 9.97% 235U -enriched uranyl nitrate solution with 80-cm-diameter cylindrical and 150-cm-height tank. Eight critical configurations in unrelected and water-reflected conditions were selected in this paper for criticality safety calculation with Monte Carlo transport code MCNPX. For all configurations, MCNPX calculations show good consistency with the trend of producing underestimated keff. Calculation biases with experimental data (keff = 1) for water-reflected configurations, i.e. 0.01-0.18%, were slightly better than those of unreflected configurations (0.14-0.41%). MCNPX calculation results which are better than the prediction of MCNP-4C concludes that MCNPX is more eligible to be applied to criticality safety analysis of uranyl nitrate solution in commercial nuclear fuel cycle facility.

Radiotherapy is a treatment for cancer which use external radiation sources with the aim to damage the DNA in the nucleus of the cancer chromosomes and cause necrosis of cancer cells. The exposure of radiation to the spinal cord as the site of blood cell formation would change the hematopoietic circulation system. The effect of gamma radiation exposure on decreasing of hematopoietic cells quantity is still unknown and it needs further experiment to determine the effect the radiation and the effect of P. niruri extract giving on the reduction of immune cells quantity which are CD34+ and B220+ cells in the bone marrow. In this experiment, five variations of the dose radiation was used. The dose were 100 rad, 200 rad, 300 rad, 400 rad and 500 rad and use single dose of P. niruri as much 250 mg/kg BB. The dose of 100 rad radiation was given daily and P. niruri extract was given for 14 days before and during radiation. The amount of the CD34+ and B220+ cells is counted and analyzed by Flow cytometry. The result of this experiment showed that the giving of gamma ray irradiation reduced the amount of immune cells in the bone marrow. The increasing radiation dose was caused increasing of the reduction of cells immune quantity. The giving of P.niruri extract inhibits hematopoietic cell through increasing of the absolut amount of CD34+ cell in the bone marrow.
