Abstract

Deposition of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) layer on top polistiren surface by vacuum evaporation method has been investigated. PS layer was coated on QCM surface by spin coater and ZnPc layer was deposited on its surface by vacuum evaporator with three variation of deposition rate, i.e 1.39 ´ 10-4, 8.08 ´ 10-2 dan 7,41 ´ 10-1 μm/s. The morphology and surface roughness of ZnPc layer was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and non-contact topography measurement system TMS-1200 TopMap. SEM image of ZnPc layer with deposition rate of 1.39 ´ 10-4, 8.08 ´ 10-2 and 7.41 ´ 10-1 μm/s shows porous and fibre like structure. The size of pores and fibre structures of ZnPc layer that produced by deposition rates of 1.39 x10-4 and 8.08 x10-2 μm/s is smaller than size of pores and fibre that produced by 7.41 ´ 10-1 μm/s. Moreover, increasing the deposition rate result a lot of ZnPc molecules make a bonding as fibrous result in the volume of fibrous increasing. Moreover, the increasing fibre size result pores volume increase. Therefore deposition rate can affect surface roughness, and roughness value is proportional to morphology of ZnPc layer. Based on result of TMS-1200 TopMap, the highest roughness level is 1310 nm, it’s found on the ZnPc layer that produced by deposition rate of 7,41 ´ 10-1 μm/s.

Abstract

Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is a process of non-radiative energy transfer from donor molecule to an acceptor. We expect to know the quantitative FRET measurements in immature and mature goat oocyte with the presence of calcium. FRET was detected using a laser scanning confocal microscope. We assume that calcium as a donor and fluo-3 as an acceptor. The methods of sensitized emission have been used for quantitative FRET measurement. We also describe the precision FRET (PFRET) data analysis. The value of PFRET describe the presence of calsium in immature and mature oocytes. For these immature and mature oocytes, the results of PFRET are 622,5 and 754,57 respectively. Mature oocyte has more calsium than immature oocyte.

Abstract

Surface modification of QCM by applying polystyrene (Ps) as a coating layer has been investigated. The PS layer was coated onto QCM sensor by using spin coating method. Polystyrene was dissolved in two different solvents i.e., xylene and Tetrahydrofuran (THF) with various concentration i,e 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and the velocity angular of spin coater were 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm, 2500 rpm, 3000 rpm, 3500 rpm, dan 4000 rpm. The results show that different solvent result in the difference of thickness of polystyrene coating layer. By calculation with the Sauerbrey equation, the thickness of Ps layer using xylene solvent show 0.1 µm, 0.28 µm, 0.35 µm, 0.59 µm, and 0.81 µm. While by using THF, the thickness of each Ps layer are 0.15 µm, 0.43 µm, 0.84 µm, 0.97 µm, 1.28 µm. On the other hand, by applying different velocity of spin coater, the thickness of polystyrene with xylene are 0.486 µm, 0.445 µm, 0.432 µm, 0.350 µm, 0.320 µm, 0,290 µm, respectively. Moreover, the thickness of PS layer by using THF show 1.05 µm, 0.93 µm, 0.87 µm, 0.84 µm, 0.67 µm, 0.52 µm. Vapor pressure of each solvent is considered as the main property of solvent which influence the thickness of coating. The vapor pressure of THF (143 mmHg) is higher than the vapor pressure of xylene (72 mmHg), the thickness Ps layer with THF is thicker than that of by xylene solvents.

Abstract

Along with population growth, the need for clean water is increasing. The availability of clean water is starting to decrease due to the decline in quality and quantity of water in the environment. Water quality degradation can be caused by water pollution from industrial waste disposal. One of the parameters to measure the level of pollution is the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Beside titration, biosensor method is a method developed to measure the BOD. The purpose of this study is to design a microorganism-based biosensor that can be used to measure levels of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) using a microelectrode transducer with Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas fluorescents as bioreceptor on phenol wastes. BOD concentration was controlled by adding phenol in water with concentration of 0 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 150 mg/L, 200 mg/L and 250 mg/L. BOD concentration as measured by using titration method and developed biosensor. Experimental result shows that the potential of the biosensor linearly correlated to the concentration of BOD in water. Membrane surface area does not contribute any effect to the output potential of the biosensor. We can conclude that both Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas fluorescents can be use as material for measuring BOD concentration in water.

Abstract

The role of aquatic sediment of outlet DAS Sumber Brantas for the availability of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, and boron in water body has been investigated from July-September 2014. Sediment and water samples were collected from the outlet of Sumber Brantas watershed in Arboretum Sumber Brantas village, Batu. This research aim was to investigate the distribution and sediment role for availability of Ca, Mg, Na, K, and boron in water body. The research results show that Ca was the dominant metal ion that was found in water body, while in sediment metal ions that dominant were Ca and Mg. The concentration of metal ion Ca was highest in August with average of concentration 1105.51 ppm and concentration of metal ion Mg was highest in July with average of concentration 1038.94 ppm. Comparison for metal ions concentration in water and sediment shows that sediment had a greater role as a sink for metal ion Ca and boron, while the sediment was a source for metal ions Mg, Na, and K in water body.
