Abstract

Research has been done to improve the optimization of the BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) immobilization process on QCM sensor by modifying the nature of the hydrophobic-hydrophilic polystyrene surfaces using ultraviolet radiation (UV). The silver electrode of QCM sensor coated with a solution of polystyrene using spin coating technique. Sensor with polystyrene coating was heated using an oven until it reaches a temperature of 200 °C and then irradiated with ultraviolet light. A 30 µL of distilled water was dropped on the sensor surface and the formed contact angle was observed. The observation of the contact angle showed that there was a change in the nature hydrophobicity of sensor surface irradiated with UV. BSA immobilization was done by injecting a certain amount of BSA concentration in PBS solution on top of the sensor. We found that best surface for immobilization of BSA is one which is without UV irradiation. This means that the immobilization is mainly caused by hydrophobic force.

Abstract

Amorphophallus muelleri Blume is a ubiquotus plant found all over Indonesia and has the potential to be food substitute due to its high glucose content. This research was conducted to investigate the porang’s clustering based on CslA gene glucose coding by using PCR-RFLP technique. Porangs used as the subjet of this study were obtained from 4 different locations in East Java, wich are : (1) Nganjuk, (2) Madiun, (3) Blitar and (4) Jember, analysed by morphological characteristic and molecular traits. Morphological analysis showed that porang derived based on their stalk pattern. BlitarI, JemberI, MadiunI variant have large prismatic stalk patterns, Jember1 and Nganjuk2 have a tight prismatic stalk pattern. Glucomannan content analysis showed that highest content is from Blitar2 5,469% and the lowest is Madiun2 0,2313%. The amplification of CslA gene sequence using primary AkCslA680F and AkCslA1288R showed that CslA gene sequence was amplified on 200 bp. The cutting by using HaeIII restrictive enzyme produced two monomorphic band on 1000 bp and 2000 bp, and 8 polymorphic band on 100 bp-400 bp. The result of this analysis showed that porang had high diversity. The analysis of among variants clustering based on their molecules data showed that grouping fell into 3 clusters, which were: cluster I (JemberI, BlitarI and MadiunI variants), cluster II (Jember2, Blitar2 and Nganjuk2 variants) and cluster III (Blitar2 variant). The shortest distance was found between JemberI and BlitarI variants, while the furthest was found in Blitar2 variants.

Abstract

Purification of carbon from coconut shell has been done by redox reaction method. Carbon was produced with simple heating carbonization method at 700 °C. Oxygen reduction process from the carbon was carried at temperature of 350 °C for 200 mL/min and 300mL/min with the H2 flow rate for 60 min, 120 min, and 180 min. Synthesis of carbon through simple heating carbonization method obtaining (93.84 ± 2.21) % of carbon content. Redox time optimization method successfully increased levels of carbon purity up (97.87 ± 1.47) %. The increase in carbon content was caused by the loss of a functional group with carbon-oxygen bond (C-O) and sulfur (S-O), as evidenced from FTIR test results.

Abstract

Characteristic of medium could be defined by physical parameters such as seismic velocity and attenuation. Amplitude, hyocentral distance, frequency and attenuation coefficient is required to determine the Q-factor value  or attenuation in effort on imaging the internal structure. In this study, we used volcanic earthquakes data of Semeru Volcano recorded 2009 that consist 54 seismogram (24 A-type volcanic earthquakes and 24 explosion volcanic earthquakes. The Q-factor value of A-type volcanic earthquakes is 4 - 392 or about 78,87 and the Q-factor value of explosion volcanic earthquakes is 4 - 288 or about 51,39. In term of the image quality, it can be seen that the attenuation on Jongring Seloko active caldera and under Jongring Seloko have low attenuation value or high Q-factor value thas was called the zone beneath. The zone beneath is interpreted to associated with hot material that may indicate the magma chamber that  concentrated in the depth interval of 1-1,8 km from the top of Semeru Volcano. The zone beneath have structural trends on West-East-Southeastern-South sector out the volcano. The internal structure of Semeru Volcano is predominance of sedimentary rocks, sandstone and rocks with gas in pore space. Although in some deep layer have internal structure as metamorphic rocks and igneous rock.

Abstract

Volcanic tremor is one of the most important volcanic activities due its strong connection to magma movement and impeding eruption. Therefore, the determination of volcanic tremor epicenter becomes very important. The absence of apparent P and S wave arrival of volcanic tremor is the main constraint of its epicenter determination. The use of semblance method is required because semblance method requires no information about P and S wave arrival in epicenter determination. A preliminary application of semblance method has been done to determine the epicenter of 100 s length volcanic tremor of Sakurajima volcano. In this research we use the recorded seismic signal from 5 different volcano observatories, which are KOM, KAB, HIK, ARI, and HAR. The recorded tremor signal is then analyzed by using semblance method. The analysis is carried out by calculated semblance coefficient in every 30 s moving window along the signal. The resulting semblance coefficient varied from 0,25 to 0,42. The epicenter of observed volcanic tremor is located in the north-east part of Minamidake crater by -18,66o to 54,10o of azimuth counted from the east, while the epicentral distance of the observed volcanic tremor varied from 608,28 to 948,68 m from Minamidake crater.

Abstract

A biological tissue that exposed by gamma radiation is known to be ionized that cause heavily damage due to the presence of free radicals. One of the damage may occured in the protein molecules which cause decreaseing of protein level of the beef so it needs a research on the effect of turmeric yellow (as antioxidant) in the maintaining of the protein level of the beef. In this research, the sample were meats without added turmeric as a control and the other were meats added with turmeric and then irradiated using radioactive elements Cs-137 and Co-60. Protein levels were tested using the standart method to analyze the levels of soluble protein. The results showed that the addition of turmeric had an influence to keep the protein value of beef. This situation suggests that turmeric is an antioxidant that is very good in counteracting free radicals.
