Abstract

The micro-bubble generator (MBG) is a novel aeration technology utilizing the concept of fluid flow through an orifice, where air is sucked into the internal chamber of the MBG by the pressure difference created by the orifice and immediately pushed by the high-velocity flow of the fluid. This mechanism creates micro-size bubbles with a high dissolution rate. This study focused on studying the effect on the oxygen dissolution rate of the two most important operating parameters, i.e. the volumetric flow rate of the liquid (QL) and the volumetric flow rate of the air (QG). Various combinations of values for QL and QG were systematically compared by means of the oxygen mass transfer coefficient (kLa). The experiment was carried out in a transparent container of 2.8 m x 0.6 m x 0.4 m filled with tap water that was aerated using an orifice/porous-pipe type MBG. The dissolved oxygen (DO) values were measured at distances of 60 cm, 120 cm, and 180 cm from the MBG outlet. The experiment was designed with five different values for QL and QG respectively. The results showed that the value of kLa, which is proportional to the oxygen dissolution rate, increased asymptotically with increasing QL value, while the QG values did not significantly affect the kLa value.

Abstract

Spruce and teak wood as anisotropic materials have complex behavior, particularly in the relationship between strain-rate and strength. High strain-rate compression tests between 590 s-1 and 3300 s-1 were carried out using two types of split Hopkinson pressure bar (SPHB) in order to measure the behavior of the wood along three principal axes with respect to fiber direction and growth rings. Numerical simulation using finite element software of the wood materials under high strain rates was performed and showed results with only a difference of 10% to the experimental results. The strain rate affects the strength of materials. In this case, it follows the power function, which means the higher the strain rate, the stronger the material.

Abstract

Microplastics threaten the ecosystem because of undesirable properties such as non-biodegradability, easy-to-absorb persistant organic compounds, etc. They are found worldwide in marine, fresh water and beach sand environments. In this study, microplastics in beach sand samples from two sites in Tien Giang province and two sites in Vung Tau city were investigated. The results showed that the microplastics amount was 0 to 295 pieces/kg dry sand and they mainly distributed near estuarine areas. Microplastics were more prevalent at bathing sites than non-bathing sites. In Tien Giang fragments were the most dominant among the three types of shapes (fragments, fibers, granules) at 60.2%. In Vung Tau granules were most prevalent at 71.7%. The composition of the plastics was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. It was revealed that PE, PP and PS were the main types of plastics found in the sampling sites.

Abstract

Microplastics are emerging contaminants owing to their potential to adsorb and release pollutants from the environment, transferring these pollutants to the food web. Most marine microplastics come from the terrestrial environment, mainly from inland freshwaters that are direct receivers of runoff from urban, industrial, and agricultural areas. The present study investigated the occurrence of microplastics in surface water samples taken from the Cherating river and the Cherating mangrove, Pahang along with a review of recent studies on microplastics abundance in aquatic ecosystems. Three sampling sites were established (two sites along the river and one site in a mangrove in the downstream of the river). In the up- and midstream regions, the river passes by residential, fishery and tourism areas, while the mangrove is located close to Cherating Beach. The highest microplastics abundance was discovered in the midstream region, with an average abundance 0.0070 ± 0.0033 particles/m3, followed by the mangrove (0.0051 ± 0.0053 particles/m3). Fragments with a size of 0.5 to 1.0 mm and white-colored microplastics were prevalent. The findings are similar to those from other microplastic studies (e.g. in Aveiro and Lisbon, Portugal; New England, USA; Kingston Harbour, Jamaica), but lower than microplastics studies in Asia (e.g. Yangtze river estuary and Hangjiang river, China). Overall, the findings provide background information on microplastics pollution in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract

Advancements in machine learning in general and in deep learning in particular have achieved great success in numerous fields. For personalized medicine approaches, frameworks derived from learning algorithms play an important role in supporting scientists to investigate and explore novel data sources such as metagenomic data to develop and examine methodologies to improve human healthcare. Some challenges when processing this data type include its very high dimensionality and the complexity of diseases. Metagenomic data that include gene families often have millions of features. This leads to a further increase of complexity in processing and requires a huge amount of time for computation. In this study, we propose a method combining feature selection using perceptron weight-based filters and synthetic image generation to leverage deep-learning advancements in order to predict various diseases based on gene family abundance data. An experiment was conducted using gene family datasets of five diseases, i.e. liver cirrhosis, obesity, inflammatory bowel diseases, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer. The proposed method provides not only visualization for gene family abundance data but also achieved a promising performance level.

Abstract

Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) is a plant endemic to North Sumatra. Its fruit has a very specific citrus-like aroma, gives a tingling sensation and is commonly used for seasoning in Bataknese traditional cuisine. To extend the shelf life and preserve the quality of andaliman fruit, post-harvest handling is needed. Seven drying methods were applied and compared, i.e. sun, air, fluidized bed, oven, far infrared, freeze, and spray drying. Considering the physicochemical and sensory properties and efficiency, oven drying was selected for further study. The optimum condition for drying was temperature at 54 °C for 8 h resulting in 0.67 desirability level based on the response surface method (RSM). Spray drying encapsulation of andaliman fruit extract was performed at an inlet temperature of 150 °C with an extract to carrier ratio of 1:8. Maltodextrin (MD) and gum arabic (GA) with a ratio of 3:2 was chosen as the carrier agent. The quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) result showed that the encapsulated andaliman powder had a flavor that resembled fresh andaliman with a more pronounced taste, a citrus-like trigeminal sensation, and a sour floral citrusy aroma.

Abstract

This study investigated the bond strength behavior of a deformed steel bar embedded in RAC through an experimental program and numerical analysis. In the experimental work, eighteen push-out specimens were tested. The compressive strength of RAC, the recycled aggregate replacement ratio, the embedded length of the reinforcing bar, the size of the rebar, the concrete cover, and the yield stress of the reinforcing steel bar were the main parameters investigated. The effect of these parameters on bond strength, bond-slip behavior, and modes of failure are discussed. Analysis of the test results indicate that the bond strength in concrete is reduced by 13% when using a specimen constructed from recycled aggregate compared with conventional concrete. The failure modes in a reinforcing bar embedded in RAC representing splitting failure and push-out failure, were similar to those in conventional concrete. The finite element analysis presented in this study was used to analyze forty-four push-out specimens. Through numerical analysis, the bond strength of RAC was related to the 0.57 power function of compressive strength. A design equation for bond strength of reinforcing bars embedded in RAC is proposed. The proposed equation was calibrated through the numerical and experimental results.

Abstract

The Citarum River is a strategic river in Indonesia, but has poor water quality.  The existing pollution control program has no impact on the river's water quality, because it uses a regulatory approach and prioritizes industrial sources. To improve the quality of the river, every pollutant source needs to reduce the pollution load discharged into the river based on the ability of the river to receive pollution. The purpose of this study was to measure pollution load allocation based on the total maximum daily load (TMDL) of the river. The results show that non-point sources contribute the highest pollution load (85%) compared with point sources (15%). The results of the measurement of pollution load allocation showed that the highest contribution of pollution load was from domestic waste (83.5%), followed by industrial waste (6.6%). The target of pollution load reduction for domestic sources is 81.8%, and for industries is 79.5%. The improvement of river water quality should be started at tributaries and domestic sources. This study can be used by local governments to develop water pollution control programs, for instance as a basis for determining the wastewater discharge permit of pollutant sources and permit trading.

Abstract

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a commonly used plasticizer incorporated into the parent plastics during manufacturing. It is classified as an emerging contaminant that is continually detected in aquatic environments and is listed as an endocrine disrupting chemical confirmed to be associated with cardiovascular disease and reproductive disorder. The hazardous aspects of BPA require the development of innovative methods for its degradation. Among these techniques, adsorption and electrochemical degradation are considered to be particularly attractive due to their high efficiency, versatility and environmental friendliness, since they do not require any other chemicals. The use of graphene oxide (GO) was investigated as an adsorbent and as a particle electrode for the removal of BPA from aqueous solutions. The adsorptive behaviors of GO toward BPA were investigated in batch mode under darkness, visible light and UV light conditions. GO was used as particle electrode in a three-dimensional electro-oxidation (3D-EO) process established by an Ru/TiO2 anode and the effects of current density values ranging from 10 to 50 mA/cm2 were investigated. The obtained results revealed that the 3D electrochemical degradation process achieved a higher BPA removal efficiency than adsorption, showing that 3D-EO with a graphene oxide particle electrode may significantly improve BPA removal efficiency.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the abundance and distribution of microplastics in a mangrove ecosystem, while investigating its uptake by Meretrix lyrata. Microplastics were extracted from 10 L of mangrove sediment using a floatation method. Soft tissues of M. lyrata were digested and the microplastics were filtered and observed under a light microscope. Microplastics ranging from 21 µm to 100 µm were the most abundant in the mangrove layers at 936 ± 34 particles/kg (dry sediment) to 1,227 ± 55 particles/kg (dry sediment) (27.19% to 31.16% of the total quantity of recovered microplastics). The most abundant microplastics, with size from 5 µm to 1000 µm, were found in the deepest layer. M. lyrata accumulation of microplastics averaged at 0.35 ± 0.08 particles/g tissue and 0.23 ± 0.07 particles/g tissue (wet weight) before and after three-day depuration, respectively. Microplastics with size from 5 to 20 µm were the most commonly uptaken by the clams, averaging at 58% to 72% for pre-depuration and post-depuration, respectively. This study revealed that the most predominant size of microplastics in the sediment was 5 µm to 20 µm, which concurs with the results of the microplastics most commonly accumulated by M. lyrata. It is believed that microplastics accumulation in mangrove areas increases over time. On the other hand, the uptake rate of microplastics by Meretrix lyrata decreases over time, flushing microplastics from its system more frequently.
