Abstract

Gen-IV is the latest generation of a nuclear reactor with better aspects than the previous generation, Pebble-Bed Reactor (PBR) is one of them. PBR using spherical shape fuel or known as pebble fuel. Hence, the physical things that are happening in the core are significantly different from the reactor using a fuel pin. Often the reactor core is assumed as a porous medium because of the void within the pebble fuel. The coolant that moves in the core can be carried as a fluid that flows through a porous medium. The thermal-hydraulics aspect is one of the significant aspects that must have been considered in every nuclear fission reactor because it is closely related to reactor safety. The wall effect happened in a packed bed, making the porosity near-wall position higher than other positions. The porosity value can induce the coolant flow, known as wall channeling, which can influence thereactor’s thermal-hydraulics aspect. In this study, thermal-hydraulics analysis for PBR is performed, and the wall effect is taken into account in the calculations. A thermal-hydraulic code, namely mPEBBLE, was developed based on the PEBBLE code to include the wall effect in the calculation. The code is based on the finite-difference method with axisymmetric cylinder geometry (R-Z) that consists of 4 primary equations; stream flow, pressure recovery, solid energy balance, and thermal energy balance. The analysis was performed for HTR-10 and PR-3000, two PBR-type reactors with different reactor core sizes. The results conclude that the larger bed as in PR-3000 is undergoing a smaller effect caused by the wall effect than in the smaller bed, such as the HTR-10. Comparison of three porosity models, Vortmeyer-Schuster, Mueller, and Benenati-Borislow, to the wall channeling, were also taken into accountin the present study.

Abstract

Living things produce secondary metabolites, one of which is abundant in plants, namely polyisoprenoid alcohol compounds. Polyisoprenoids are also found in plants with different chain lengths. The distribution of polyisoprenoid compounds (dolichol and polyprenol) was found in the leaf and stem tissues of Pinus merkusii strains derived from Aceh, Tapanuli and Kerinci. The extracted samples were analyzed by the two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (2D-TLC) method. The distribution of dolichol and polyprenol compounds on the stems and leaves of Aceh, Tapanuli and Kerinci pines provided a type II categorization, both dolichol and polyprenol were traced in pine tissues. Total lipids in stem tissue ranged from 564.4-58.9 mg/g dw, polyisoprenoid values ranged from 1.34-2.44 mg/g dw. In the leaves, total lipids ranged from 590 to 669.43 mg/g dw while polyisoprenoid values ranged from 1.29 to 5.70 mg/g dw. The dolichol carbon chain length in the Pine stem of strain composed C70-C90, C65-C90, and C65-C95. Meanwhile, carbon chain-length of C85-C105, C70-C95, and C50-C65 were found in leaf tissues. The length of the polyprenol carbon chain in the stem was C60-C90, C50-C90, and C70-C90 respectively, while the chain lengths on the leaves were C60-C115, C50-C95, and C30-C90. The present study suggested the presence of both dolichol and polyprenols in Pinus merkusii without predomination either dolichol or polyprenol.

Abstract

Innovative modification of Cu-Al/C composites was synthesized by coprecipitation method at pH 10 and added biochar (BC) and graphite (GF) to form Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF composites. Pristine and composites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Thermalgravimetric, and surface area using the BET method. The XRD diffraction and FTIR spectrum of Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF showed that the composite material from LDH, biochar, and graphite was successfully prepared. Modified LDH were surface area higher than the pristine, which obtained 200.90 m2/g and 18.83 m2/g for Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF respectively.  Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF were tested for selectivity on several anionic dyes, it was known that procion red (PR) dye was more easily adsorbed than other anionic dyes. Materials were applied as adsorbents of procion red (PR) dye. The advantages of composites were evaluated by the regeneration process of adsorbent on PR. The result of composite toward PR re-adsorption process showed that Cu-Al/BC and Cu-Al/GF had structural stability higher than starting materials until five cycles process. Furthermore, materials were applied as adsorbents of procion red (PR) dye. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 93.458 mg/g for Cu-Al/BC and 49.505 mg/g for Cu-Al/GF. Both innovative modified composites have shown effective adsorbents to the removal of PR from an aqueous solution.

Abstract

In the event that the discharge goes to enter the channel surpasses the channel ability, than would happen floods of genuine harm to the environment around the channel. Applying the dynamic wave model, the discharge amount could be predicted in the frequent flood region if the information of discharge upstream is found out. Many numerical schemes could be utilized to discover answers to the system of differential partial equations. We proposed the usage of the staggered method to find out the solution of the system. The numerical scheme shall be used to predict the top discharge in a frequent flood region and create a flooded pocket to diminish the top discharge in the region. Based on the outcome of the numerical simulation, we may claim that a stable scheme has been created to acquire the approach resolve of the equation partial system. The staggered scheme is capable of investigating the impact of the presence of the flood pocket especially lessening the top discharge.

Abstract

The experimental data analysis of tapioca liquid waste onto modified Lampung natural zeolite using non-linear regression models is limited. The adsorption data were analyzed with nine kinetic models (the pseudo-first-order, the pseudo-second-order, the intraparticle diusion, fractional power, Bangham, Elovich, mixed-1.2-order, modification of pseudo-second-order, and Avrami) and eight isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Sips, Redlich-Peterson, Toth, Liu, and Khan). The percentage of adsorption was decreased from 61.29% to 13.66% with increasing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) concentration 310 mg/L to 9450 mg/L. The result showed that the power model (R2 : 0.98, X2 : 0.137), Avrami (R2 : 0.98, X2 : 0.141), Bangham (R2 : 0.98, X2 : 0.145) and modified pseudo-second-order (R2 : 0.98, X2 : 0.147) can be recommended as the best fied to experimental kinetic data. The Khan model (R2 : 0.99961, X2 : 0.03729) and Langmuir (R2 : 0.99478, X2 : 0.24902) was the most reliable for describing the isotherm model. Thus, the analysis of experimental adsorption data using a non-linear regression model is highly recommended.

Abstract

Figs knew playing vital roles in reducing cholesterol, strengthening the heart, and controlling respiration. Figs leaves extract with a dose of 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg can reduce triglyceride levels and can increase HDL cholesterol levels. This study aims to determine the effect of Ficus carica L. (fig) leaves extract on tablet dosage forms to reducing total cholesterol in rats induced with pork fat feed. Tablets were made by the wet granulation method in three formulas, there are F1 (extract dose 50 mg), F2 (extract dose 100 mg), and F3 (extract dose 150 mg), and compared with simvastatin tablets. The rats used in this study were 40 animals which were divided into 8 groups. Negative control group (induced of pork oil), F1 group, F2 group, F3 group, F4 group (placebo), positive control group (simvastatin 10 mg), base suspending agent group, and normal group.The average weight (mg) of F1 tablets (605.96 ± 9.94%), F2 (611.81 ± 12.33%), and F3 (639.09 ± 4.65%). As for the uniformity of size, all formulas have a diameter of 0.9 ± 0.0 (cm). for the hardness values of F1 (6.54 kg), F2 (5.31 kg), and F3 (5.43 kg). The value of friability F1 (0.8%), F2 (1.38%), and F3 (0.77%). While the disintegration time of F1 (13.31 minutes), F2 (19.48 minutes), and F3 (21.11 minutes). Whereas the dissolution rate (DE45) of each formulation decreased with increasing dose of extract, F1 (69.43%), F2 (64.95%), and F3 (60.04%). Extract contain quercetin as flavonoid, saponin, polyphenol, alkaloid, and tannin. Based on the results of statistical analysis, extract tablets did not differ significantly from simvastatin tablets in reducing total cholesterol levels. Tablet formulation of fig leaves extract with a dose variant has been shown to reduce total cholesterol in the blood between 18.3% until 37.98%.

Abstract

The University of California Irvine Heart disease dataset had missing data on several attributes. The missing data can loss the important information of the attributes, but it cannot be deleted immediately on dataset. To handle missing data, there are several ways including deletion, imputation by mean, mode, or with prediction methods. In this study, the missing data were handled by deletion technique if the attribute had more than 70% missing data. Otherwise, it were handled by mean and mode method to impute missing data that had missing data less or equal 1%. The artificial neural network was used to handle the attribute that had missing data more than 1%. The results of the techniques and methods used to handle missing data were measured based on the performance results of the classification method on data that has been handled the problem of missing data. In this study the classification method used is Artificial Neural Network, Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, and K-Nearest Neighbor. The performance results of classification methods without handling missing data were compared with the performance results of classification methods after imputation missing data on dataset for accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and ROC. In addition, the comparison of the Mean Squared Error results was also used to see how close the predicted label in the classification was to the original label. The lowest Mean Squared Error wasobtained by Artificial Neural Network, which means that the Artificial Neural Network worked very well on dataset that has been handled missing data compared to other methods. The result of accuracy, specificity, sensitivity in each classification method showed that imputation missing data could increase the performance of classification, especially for the Artificial Neural Network method.

Abstract

The cooling-heating method was used to successfully synthesize molecularly imprinted polymers on caffeine. Caffeine was used as a template and mixed with chloroform solvent, methacrylic acid as a monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross-linker, and benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. The solution was stirred for 15 minutes and placed in a vial. Then it was placed in a cooler with a temperature of -5○C for 60 minutes and then inserted into an oven with an increasing temperature at 75○C, 80○C, and 85○C for 3, 2 and 1 hour, respectively. Furthermore, the repeated washing process resulted in solid polymer, which was subjected to template leaching to produce polymers with specific cavities called molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP). The resulting caffeine polymer and MIP were tested using SEM, FTIR, and XRD methods. In addition, the SEM image analysis data showed 388 cavities in the polymer after template leaching, compared to the 121 cavities in the unwashed polymer. This result was supported by the FTIR spectrum analysis which showed that caffeine MIP has a higher transmittance value than the polymer. Therefore, the caffeine concentration was significantly reduced after the leaching process. The XRD spectra showed that caffeine MIP had a smaller halfmaximum diffraction peak width (FWHM) compared to the polymer. Also, the low FWHM value depicted a larger crystalline size in the caffeine MIP compared to the polymer.

Abstract

The modified ZnAl composites with humic acid (HA/ZnAl composite) were a coprecipitation method used as an adsorbent to remove cadmium(II) in an aqueous solution. The synthesized material was characterized using SEM-EDX, FTIR, and XRD. From the analysis using XRD, there is a widening peak at an angle of 2???? (24°), FTIR analysis there is a new peak at 1000 cm−1 and 1220 cm−1 and SEM analysis show that there is a change in surface morphology due to more aggregated particles. The experimental results on HA/ZnAl composite followed the PSO model, where the cadmium(II) removal process was chemical adsorption. The adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir model where adsorption occurs in a monolayer and maximum adsorption capacity was obtained 38.76 mg/g higher than pristine. Thermodynamics of the adsorption process of cadmium(II) in an aqueous solution occurred spontaneously where G < 0 at all temperatures and endothermic properties were tested. The performance of the HA/ZnAl composite showed that strong potential as an adsorbent of low cost, high efficiency, easy operation, and good reusability. The cadmium(II) was absorbed on the surface of HA/ZnAl composite by surface complexation and chelating interactions, and surface complexation was the main route of cadmium(II) removal. In addition, HA/ZnAl composite has excellent treatment efficiency in actual aqueous solution.
