Abstract

Garbage is one of the environmental problems. The process of transporting garbage sometimes occurs delays such as congestion and engine failure. Robust optimization model called a robust counterpart open capacitated vehicle routing problem (RCOCVRP) with time windows was formulated to get over this delays. This model has formulated with the limitation of vehicle capacity and time windows with an uncertainty of waste volume and travel time. The RCOCVRP model with time windows is solved by a heuristic approach. The heuristic approach used to solve the RCOCVRP model with time windows uses the nearest neighbor and the cheapest insertion heuristic algorithm. The RCOCVRP with time windows model is implemented on the problem of transporting waste in Sako sub-district. The solutions of these two heuristic approaches are compared and analyzed. The RCOCVRP model with time windows to optimize the route problems of waste transport vehicles that is solved using the cheapest insertion heuristics algorithm is more effective than the nearest neighbor method.

Abstract

Betel leaf is a typical Indonesian herbal plant that propagates on other tree trunks. So far, betel leaf has only been used in biomedicine and traditional medicine, whereas the chemical compounds of betel leaf can be used to absorb electromagnetic waves. In this mini-review, we review several research results to discuss the potential effectiveness of betel leaf in barium hexaferrite as an absorber of electromagnetic radiation. We compiled this mini-review based on the literature review method that is discussed extensively and in-depth regarding the chemical composition of betel leaf, modification of the development of barium hexaferrite material with betel leaf media extract, characteristics of BaFe12O19 as absorption of electromagnetic waves, and the effectiveness of media extracts in BaFe12O19 as absorption of electromagnetic waves. Based on the results of the literature review, the modification of BaFe12O19 material synthesis can include microemulsion, solid-state, coprecipitation, sol-gel, and hydrothermal synthesis. So far, hydrothermal synthesis is a synthesis method of mixing betel leaf extract media and ferrite-based magnets that have been studied before. Betel leaf in ferrite-based magnetic materials has been studied not to damage the surface morphology and characteristics of the magnetic material. The results of the assessment also show the effectiveness of adding other elements or compounds such as Ni, Al2O3, and composites in ferrite-based magnetic materials that can absorb more than 90% of electromagnetic waves in the frequency range 2-18 GHz.

Abstract

Bees produce honey from plant nectar, plant secretions, and excretions of plant-sucking insects. Indonesian local honey contains active compounds that have the potential effect as antioxidant and anticancer. The composition and biological effects of honey vary depending on the flower sources; seasonal and environmental factors can also influence the composition and the physical products. This research was conducted to identify the chemical compounds found in several honey samples produced by beekeepers in Indonesia with LCMS/MS method and to determine the profiles of the honey from Indonesia with the Chemspider and MassBank Database. Honey samples were collected from several regions in Indonesia. The results of the analysis showed that the honey’s diastase number vary from region to region and showed that the HMF contents are relatively low. The compounds that were allegedly found through LCMS/MS analysis include and have been traced based on literature studies had bioactive activity and beneficial to health, include: millefin (potential for treating heart disease and cancer), mangiferin (anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes, immunomodulators, anti-tumor, antioxidants), rhamnetin (anti-inflammatory), tricin (antioxidant-like), acacetin (inhibit tumor angiogenesis agents), aurantiamide acetate (antiviral or anti-inflammatory, therapeutic agent for the treatment of influenza), salvigenin (controlling inflammation, acute and chronic pain), brucine (modulates anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties), dehydrocostus lactone (anti-inflammatory), santonin (anthelmintic activity), dimethylesculetin (bilirubin clearance), imidazole 4- acetic acid (neuropharmacological properties), propafenone (antiarrhythmic), yohimbine (affected sexual performance), Velutin (anti-inflammatory), narigenin (linked to cardiovascular disease protection). Eventually, honey is is such a natural product with a number of salient therapeutic properties. However, there are still components that were found but their roles cannot be described in detail. Therefore, it is recommended that further meticulous studies should bring to light the other hidden properties of the honey compounds.

Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes (TNT) were successfully synthesized using different N-containing ligands via hydrothermal method. Methylamine, ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine with different Ti/ligand molar ratios (1:1, 1:3, 1:5 and 1:8) were prepared. As-synthesized TiO2 without N-containing ligands were also prepared for comparison purpose. The X-Ray Diffraction patterns confirmed the presence of anatase phase of TiO2 in all the synthesized samples whereas the presence of sodium titanate was only detected in the samples containing N-containing ligands. The Transmission Electron Microscopy images also showed that the N-containing ligands promoted the formation of nanotubes in the anatase TiO2. Based on the Tauc Plot, the band gap energy of anatase TiO2 was shifted with the addition of methylamine, ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine. The photoluminescence spectra also showed that with the addition of sufficient amount of N-containing ligands, the intensity of photoluminescence spectrum decreased, suggesting formation of more nanotube and reduction of electron hole recombination rate. The photocatalytic performance of all synthesized samples was determined through photodegradation of Congo red under UV light for 6 hours. The results suggested that among the synthesized materials, the sample which contained diethylenetriamine with molar ratio of 5 gave the highest photocatalytic activity of 76.71% which could be attributed to successful formation of nanotube, its higher surface rate reaction and low electron hole recombination. Diethylenetriamine showed higher efficiency in assisting the formation of TiO2 nanotubes compared to methylamine and ethylenediamine.

Abstract

Diabetes is a chronic disease that can cause serious illness. Women are four times more likely to develop heart problems caused by diabetes. Women are also more prone to experience complications due to diabetes, such as kidney problems, depression, and decreased vision quality. Nearly 200 million women worldwide are affected by diabetes, with two out of five affected by the disease being women of reproductive age. This paper aims to predict women with at least 21 years of age having diabetes based on eight diagnostic measurements using the statistical learning methods; Multinomial Naive Bayes, Fisher Discriminant Analysis, and Logistic Regression. Model validation is built based on dividing the data into training data and test data based on 5-fold cross-validation. The model validation performance shows that the Gaussian Naïve Bayes is the best method in predicting diabetes diagnosis. This paper’s contribution is that all performance measures of the Multinomial Naïve Bayes method have a value greater than 93 %. These results are beneficial in predicting diabetes status with the same explanatory variables.

Abstract

Glibenclamide has the biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) class II which has high permeability and low solubility. The solubility of glibenclamide can be enhanced by forming solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN). This research has the aim to prepare and characterize SLN loading glibenclamide. The glibenclamide SLN formula was composed by using the liquid lipid as virgin coconut oil (VCO), PEG 6000 as a solid matrix, tween 80 with various concentrations as a stabilizer, and PEG 400 as co-surfactant. Characterization was conducted by determining the encapsulation efficiency (%EE), size measurement, particle size distribution, and zeta potential of SLN glibenclamide. SLN formation was also tested for its physical stability based on the heating-cooling cycle method. The optimum formula was obtained at the concentration of tween-80 of 1 mg/mL yielding the %EE value of 60.6194%, and pH 6.01. The results of particles diameter analysis were 175.5 ± 10.07 nm with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.1270, and zeta potential of +5.9 mV respectively. Stability testing by the heating-cooling cycle method has shown the instability of the SLN glibenclamide form under extreme temperatures and mechanics. It could be concluded that the results of characterization of glibenclamide SLN showed appropriate physical properties for nanoparticulate formulation.

Abstract

In this research, Ni/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) was modified by using co-precipitation method to generate Ni/Al-graphite (Ni/Al-GF) and Ni/Al-biochar (Ni/Al-BC). The adsorbents were applied to remove Congo Red from aqueous solution. The obtained samples were characterized by using XRD, FTIR, BET and TG-DTA. The XRD diffraction pattern of Ni/Al LDH, Ni/Al-GF, and Ni/Al-BC presented the formation of composite with decreasing crystallinity. The surface area modified LDHs was higher than the pristine materials, which was obtained 15.106 m2/g, 21.595 m2/g and 438.942 m2/g for Ni/Al-LDH, Ni/Al-GF, Ni/Al-BC respectively. The adsorption of Congo Red on the materials was tested at dierent parameters and the results exhibited that Congo Red adsorption on LDHs were pseudo-first-order (PFO) kinetic, spontaneous, endothermic and followed Langmuir model. The adsorbents removed Congo Red by high performance stability with adsorption capacity was 116.297 mg/g for Ni/Al-GF and 312.500 mg/g for Ni/Al-BC. These adsorption capacity was higher than the pristine LDH (61.728 mg/g). The regeneration process which carried out for five cycles showed that Ni/Al-GF and Ni/Al-BC have stable structures as reuse adsorbents for Congo Red from aqueous solution.

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.
