Abstract

This work reports the modification of West Java natural bentonite as an effective adsorbent for rhodamine B dye. The modification was finished by sodium intercalation at room temperature to get low-energy preparation. Characterization of bentonite-modified adsorbent was used SEM, XRD, FTIR, and BET analysis. The material pore size and surface area were increased by 0.303 nm and 178.710 m2/g on Na-bentonite. The adsorption mechanism conformed well with the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetics equations. The adsorption process by thermodynamic analysis was endothermic and advantageous. Under the optimum condition of pH 6 (confirmed by pHpzc), initial dye concentration of 125 mg/L, and the adsorbent dosage of 0.09 g for 65 minutes, the Na-bentonite has a larger adsorption capacity (Qm) of 142.86 mg/g, while the different adsorbent dosages of 0.11 g for 75 minutes, the adsorption capacity of natural bentonite (Qm) reaches 140.85 mg/g. This work provides a method for establishing a low-energy preparation adsorbent of bentonite-based on Na intercalant as a low-cost and valuable adsorbent for waste dye removal.

Abstract

Sungkai is a plant that is widely found in Indonesia. This plant is often used in traditional medicine so the biotechnology of endophytic fungi is highly needed due to natural resources from plants that have been reduced. This study reported on endophytic fungi found in sungkai leaves and the compound produced. Morphological and molecular identification through phylogenetic tree analysis was carried out to determine the endophytic fungal species found. Potato Dextrose Broth media was used for the cultivation process. Ethyl acetate was used as a solvent for the extraction and the evaporation process used a rotary evaporator. Antioxidant and antibacterial tests were carried out using the DPPH method and paper disc diffusion. Chromatographic techniques were used to isolate the compound and spectroscopic analysis was performed to identify its chemical structure. The results of the morphological and molecular analysis showed Trichoderma asperellum as an endophytic fungus identified. The pure compound obtained from this endophytic fungus was 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. The antioxidant and antibacterial activity showed a strong category (IC50 = 43.88 ????g/mL; MIC 64 ????g/mL). This compound was very likely to be a raw material for new antibiotics and antioxidants through further research with various modifications.

Abstract

Let A be the class of all analytic and univalent functions f (z) = z+Σ∞k=2 akzk in the open unit disc D = {z:|z|<1 }. S then represents the classes of every function in A that is univalent in D. For every f ∈ S, there is an inverse f−1. A function f ∈ A in D is categorised as bi-univalent if f and its inverse g = f−1 are both univalent. Motivated by the generalised operator, subordination principle, and the first Einstein function, we present a new family of bi-univalent analytic functions on the open unit disc of the complex plane. The functions contained in the subclasses are used to account for the initial coefficient estimate of |a2|. In this study, we derive the results for the covering theorem, distortion theorem, rotation theorem, growth theorem, and the convexity radius for functions of the class Ns,m,kλ,α (Σ, E) of bi-univalent functions related to an Einstein function and a generalised differential operator Ds,m,kλ,α f (z). We use the elementary transformations that preserve the class Ns,m,kλ,α (Σ, E) in order to attain the intended results. The required propertiesare then obtained.

Abstract

The Exponential Pareto (EP) model has been extended by applied and theoretical statisticians for wider applications and new knowledge using different techniques but the Weibull-X technique has not been considered. This article proposed a new extension of the EP model called the Weibull-Exponential Pareto (WEP) distribution to provide better modeling that fits real-life datasets and to explore the statistical theory of order statistics from the proposed distribution. Statistical properties investigated include the Shannon and Renyi entropies; the moments and moment generating function. Distribution of order statistics and the moment of order statistics were derived including the mean and variance of order statistics. WEP distribution has unimodal, decreasing, and increasing failure rates; and it can be negatively or positively skewed and approximately symmetric with the potential for fitting platykurtic, mesokurtic, and leptokurtic lifetime data. The parameters of the distribution were estimated using the method of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), which was examined for consistency through a simulation study. The performance of the proposed distribution was investigated by application to flood peaks exceedances and some lifetime datasets from engineering. The results from data analysis using the R-software revealed that the WEP distribution has the potential to provide a superior model that fits the three data sets better than some notable existing distributions and previous extensions of the EP model in the literature. The statistical property of order statistics extended in the study established some important results that characterized some notable lifetime distributions in the literature.

Abstract

In our current research article, based on a general configuration of a 3-step Peano kernel, new versions of integral inequality of Ostrowski’s type are developed for differentiable mappings that have second derivatives belong to L∞. Then we utilized these versions to generate new perturbed trapezoid like inequalities. These new perturbed trapezoid like inequalities are proposed with error bounds smaller than and similar to those reported by previous studies. Moreover, some of the obtained perturbed trapezoid like inequalities reveal the relationship between the Euler-Maclaurin summation and the trapezoidal rule. Finally, certain implementations to numerical composite quadrature rules are provided for completeness.

Abstract

Profiling of chemical compounds on star anise extract and fractions showed the content and looked for active compounds. The main compounds in alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenolics, and triterpenoid forms were identified based on phytochemical screening. FTIR and GC-MS analysis were used to purify the extract and fractions’ main compounds. After analyzing the main components of extract and fractions, a correlation was made between the total phenolic and flavonoid content. The total phenolic content was determined by adding folincalteau complexing solution converted to gallic acid equivalent (GAE), while the total flavonoid content was determined by AlCl3 complexing solution converted to Quercetin Equivalent (QE). The total phenolic yields for extract ethanol, n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, and fraction ethanol were obtained at 106.45, 52.30, 93.46, and 148.97 mgGAE/g, respectively. Then the total flavonoid results were 107.45, 58.94, 148.99, 140.01 mgQE/g. The total content of phenolics and flavonoids illustrated the number of active compounds that have a role as free radical scavengers due to their group. Antioxidant activity was tested with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) on extracts and fractions, with the best IC50 results obtained in the ethanol fraction 0.416 mg/mL.

Abstract

The classical Poisson distribution assumes equidispersion and this is hardly the case when given count observations. To improve efficiency and general applicability for dispersed data, this paper obtains a new mixing probability distribution using quadratic transmutation map on the weighed exponential distribution. The mixing distribution is used to obtain a new three parameter mixed Poisson distribution. The new distribution has unimodal shape with positive skewness and tends to zero speedily. Basic properties of the new distribution like the distribution function, moments, and dispersion index are obtained. Maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the distribution are obtained. Applications are made using four claims frequencies from different insurance companies. Results show that the new distribution gives a good fit in comparisons with some referred discrete distributions.

Abstract

This paper shows experimental study results on the thermophysical and stability of nanofluids of Titanium oxide (TiO2) dispersed in high-purity of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). Nanofluid samples that functioned as a lubricant were prepared by a two-step preparation method at different volume fractions (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 vol.%) and different temperatures (28, 40, and 100°C). The dynamic viscosity and density were performed using Falling Ball Viscometer and Pycnometer, respectively. The sedimentation photograph method using a digital camera was applied to analyze the stability. A maximum dynamic viscosity enhancement of 62.78% was recorded for TiO2/VCO nanofluid with 0.5% nanoparticle volume fraction and at the temperature of 100°C). Whereas, the highest density improvement was recorded for TiO2/VCO nanofluid with 0.5% nanoparticle volume fraction. Freshly prepared nanofluids did not show any significant change in stability. However, a trivial phase separation appeared in the samples after 8 days. The results indicated that adding TiO2 nanoparticles increased the dynamic viscosity and density. It can be concluded that the volume in fraction has the effect to enhance the thermophysical stability of TiO2/VCO nanofluids.

Abstract

The spread of pathogenic microorganisms on a large scale creates a health disaster for the world. Modifying the surface of the fabric so that it is antimicrobial pathogens with hydrophobic properties is one solution to inhibit the spread of microorganisms. Surface modification was carried out using Aloe vera powder as filler and polystyrene matrix with Aloe vera:PS composition variations of 1:5, 2:5, and 3:5 using the dip coating method and drying temperatures of 10◦C, 50◦C, and 90◦C. The characterization results that have been carried out with the best composition variations are 3:5 and 50◦C with a layered morphology using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), resulting in a surface particle size of 21.243 nm, large contact angle/WCA using a Canon D350 camera with a size of 150.23◦, Fourier Transmission Infrared Analysis (FTIR) with the dominant functional group in the vibration band 2629 cm−1 indicates the presence of a long hydroxyl chain, the vibration band 1500 cm−1 with C-H stretching of the aromatic ring is caused by the characteristics of the polystyrene polymer and the wave number is 1700 cm−1 with stretching C=O which shows the characteristics of the carbonyl group in the Aloe vera sample is a flavonoid compound. The resistance of Aloe vera/PS solution to Klebsiella pneumonia resulted in a 20.18 mm diameter barrier showing strong resistance against bacteria and X-Ray Diffraction analysis showed that the AV powder was amorphous. Thus, the AV/PS 3:5 composition with a calcination temperature of 50◦C represents the greatest variation in the synthesis and characterization of hydrophobic thin films for pathogenic antimicrobial organisms.
