The Hot Wire Cell PECVD method has been developed and successfully applied to grow the hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films with a relatively high conductivity. The a-Si:H thin films were grown on the 7059 corning glass at a filament temperature of 800 oC. Ten percents silane (SiH4) gas diluted in hydrogen (H2) gas was used as gas source. In the hot wire cell PECVD method, reactant gases are decomposed as a result of reaction with a heated filament. The filament was placed parallelly with inlet gas system and outside of electrodes. The characterization results exhibited that the deposition rate increased from 1.02 Å/s to 1.90 Å/s with increasing the rf power from 80 watt to 120 watt. The optical bandgap decreased from 1.65 eV to 1.56 eV with increasing the rf power from 80 watt to 120 watt. The SEM image and the XRD spectrum exhibited the transition of amorphous to microcrystalline silicon at an rf power of 120 watt. The transition of amorphous to microcrystalline was indicated by the reduction of amorphous parts and the appearance of peak diffraction at <111> preferential crystal orientation. The dark and photo conductivities of the obtained μc-Si:H thin films was 6.84x10-6 S cm-1 and 4.16x10-4 S cm-1, respectively.

Poly(R,S)-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and its copolymers with δ-valerolactone were synthesized by ring-opening copolymerization of (R,S)-β-butyrolactone (β-BL) and δ-valerolactone (δ-VL) monomers in the presence of a tetraisobutyldialuminoxane catalyst. The biodegradability of these polymers by using activated sludge was studied in an aerobic medium. The objective of this work was to determine the influence of structure and crystallinity of polymers on their degree of biodegradation and initial degradation rate. It was shown that the degradation rate for bacterial P(R)-HB with 100 % (R) isotactic structure was the highest and the final biodegradation was reached around 94 % after incubation time of 35 days. Whereas the final biodegradation about 88 % was obtained for atactic P(R,S)-β-HB synthesized by using aluminoxane catalyst. The influence of the structure and crystallinity on the initial biodegradation rate were observed for the copolymers in various composition of comonomers. All these copolymers with the PHB ratio more than 10 % exhibit highly degree of biodegradation, about 85 % after 35 days of incubation time.

At present, structural designing in Indonesia uses the value of reduction factor (Ï) according to LRFD-AISC regulation (Load and Resistance Factor Design â American Institute of Steel Construction). It is understood that different condition in Indonesia requires different approach, therefore this research attempted to determine a specific value of reduction factor (Ï).The research observes the compression and flexural behavior of profile steel boxes (2x4) cm with length 75 cm and 65 cm for compression and flexural test, respectively. This test collects resistance data that are stress, area of steel, load and modulus of elasticity. The result of flexural test with reliability index (β) = 3 obtained the value of reduction factor of flexure Ïb = 0.8823 and Ï = 0.5195 for compression test. Difference between this value and that of LRFD-AISC code were caused by nominal mean value-mean value ration, coefficient of variation (Ω), and the distribution used in the calculation. In addition, different reliability index of 2.5, 2, and 1.5 were also calculated for comparison. It is concluded that greater value of reduction factor (Ï) could be obtained with smaller reliability index (β).

Ti1-xCoxO2 thin films have been deposited on Si substrate by MOCVD technique. Thin films were synthesized by a single plane orientation structure of anatase-213 at various to Co concentartions up to 5,77%. Photoluminescence emission spectra of thin films showed a maximum peak at the energy of 2.8 eV. These energies did not change when increasing Co concentration in the Ti1-xCoxO2 thin films up to 5.77%. The patterns of spectrum emission only differ on the intensity and broadness of spectra. Broading occurs towards the higher energy of 2.8 eV, while the intensities were increased with increasing of Co concentration.

Recently, polymeric insulating materials are widely used for high voltage cables. During operation, a field enhancement sites such as void and protrusion may exist in the polymeric insulation. Degradation of the insulation may occur and the so-called electrical treeing will grow. The electrical treeing appears in the polymeric insulation in the form of tree-like structure with very fine cylindrical channels similar to the trunks and branches in an actual tree. The appearance of an electrical treeing is a sign that a harmful degradation is developing in the insulation. In order to avoid the electrical treeing to occur in the polymeric insulation and for diagnosing of the condition, it is important to know the behavior of the electrical treeing and the correlation with the insulation materials. This paper reports a computer simulation results of the behavior of the electrical treeing using Cellular Automata. The simulation was done in polymeric materials with various critical electric fields. The simulation results showed that selection of polymeric insulating materials with high critical field is a very important step in the design of insulation.

In this paper, optical and digital methods are combined to improve the quality of the image obtained through a scattering medium. The optical method, using simply an imaging positive lens and a small circular spatial filter, succeded in the first stage to form an observable image.Two criteria were adopted to evaluate the quality of the image in the optical method. The first is Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), the second is the correlation coefficient between the original image and the processed scattered image. It was found that PSNR decreased at a larger diameter of the spatial filter. The optimum correlation coefficient (0.368) was found at a filter diameter of 1.6 mm.Next, the digital image processing was conducted using the assumption that the scattering medium always moved randomly. Involving different diameters of the spatial filter, the image was recorded with a CCD camera connected to a computer. For each diameter, the image was recorded many times, each time with a different position of the scattering medium. The images were then processed with the so-called âOr Minimumâ and the averaging method.In the âOr Minimumâ method, the gray level of the same pixel position of all images was compared to find its minimum value. The ensemble of pixels having the minimum gray level constitutes a new image. In the averaging method, the average gray level in each pixel position was computed from a number of images.It appeared that the âOr Minimumâ method yielded the best improvement in PSNR (the largest being 4.00 dB) compared to the averaging method (1.04 dB). The improvement of the correlation coefficient was up to 0.072 in the âOr Minimumâ method and 0.05 in the averaging method.

This paper present the results of the mathematical model study on the relation between rain fall pattern, surface run off flows and land erodibility of a catchment area and river sedimentation. The influences of catchment area characteristics such as land use, soil behavior, topography condition and other related physical condition is encountered. Surface flow assessment is done at each sub catchment area by using mathematical model named ANSWER. Case study on Cipeles Catchmen area had shown that land use and rain fall pattern are the main parameter. Good agreement between model result and observation is shown on surface run off flow and sediment pattern, but there is still significant inaccuracy in its magnitude. This inaccuracy could be minimized not only by improving the model but also using a better data calibration, such as highly correlated rain fall and river discharge data with catchment area land use condition.

Randall-Sundrum single brane system (RS II) is investigated systematically, with an emphasis of the effective equation of motion on the brane, by using a low energy expansion method (gradient expansion method) in the bulk. Through the junction condition, we deduce in the zeroth order fine tuning for RS model. The modified Einstein equation, as well as Friedmann equation with dark energy radiation on the brane is derived from the first order expansion. We also clarify the emergence of the AdS/CFT correspondence for the case of the higher order expansion in a low energy iteration scheme.
