Abstract

Extraction of biogenic silica from Salacca leaves ash and it’s utilization as adsorbent for salycilic acid has been successfully conducted. The caustic extraction by Refluxing the ash in NaOH followed by slow titration using acid produced the silica gel, and in order to evaluate the physicochemical character for adsorption purpose, the sintering of the dried gel was varied at 300, 400 and 500oC. Instrumental analysis of x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, gas sorption analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were employed. The kinetics of the salycilic acid adsorption was investigated in a batch adsorption system and the quantitative analysis was based on UV–Vis spectrometry. The results showed that the produced silica exhibited adsorption capability for salycilic acid in an aqueous solution. At varied sintering temperature, the highest adsorption capacity and affinity was achieved by temperature of 500oC, and the adsorption kinetics obeyed the Langmuir isotherm. The varied pH for adsorption suggested neutral pH is the most feasible compared to the acidic and basic conditions.

Abstract

Given n vertices and m edges, m ≥ 1, and for every vertex is given a label, there are lots of graphs that can be obtained. The graphs obtained may be simple or not simple, connected or disconnected. A graph G(V,E) is called simple if G(V,E) not containing loops nor paralel edges. An edge which has the same end vertex is called a loop, and paralel edges are two or more edges which connect the same set of vertices. Let N(G7,m,t) as the number of connected vertex labeled graphs of order seven with m vertices and t (t is the number edges that connect different pair of vertices). The result shows that N(G7,m,t) = ct C (m−1) t−1, with c6=6727, c7=30160 , c8=30765, c9=21000, c10=28364, c11=26880, c12=26460, c13=20790, c14=10290, c15= 8022, c16=2940, c17=4417, c18=2835, c19=210, c20= 21, c21=1.

Abstract

This study attempts to analyze pricing schemes with monitoring cost and marginal cost for perfect substitute and quasi-linear utility functions for achieving Internet service Provider (ISP) in gaining benefit. Two types of customers analyzed, namely customers who are heterogeneous (both high-end and low-end) as well as heterogeneous customers (high-demand and low-demand) based on Flat-fee, usage-based, and two-part tariff are the three types of pricing methods employed. The results show that usage-based pricing schemes gain maximum profit optimal for heterogeneous customers (high-end and low-end), while for heterogeneous customers (high-demand and low-demand) type of pricing scheme two-part tariff obtains maximum profit optimal. The results of this study are more directed to the lemma of the perfect substitute utility function which compares the lemma of heterogeneous customers. This model was solved using LINGO 13.0 software and ISP to get maximum profit.

Abstract

In this work, the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo oriented strand board (BOSB) prepared from alkali-immersed strands were examined. The Dendrocalamus asper strands were modified with alkali treatment by immersing them in 1% sodium hydroxide solution for 1, 2, and 3 hours. Three-layers BOSBs (30 x 30 x 0.9 cm3) were prepared using phenol-formaldehyde (PF) adhesive of 8% concentration and 1% paraffin. According to JIS A 5908:2003 Standard, the physical and mechanical characteristics of BOSB were evaluated (JSA, 2003). The study showed that alkali treatment improved the dimensional stability of BOSB. Immersion in 1% sodium hydroxide solutions enhanced internal bonding (IB). The longer the immersion time, the better the WA, TS, and IB values. However, alkali treatment decreased the bending strength, i.e., modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR). The physical and mechanical properties of all BOSBs met the commercial standard, except the BOSBs prepared from strand with alkali immersion treatment by 1% sodium hydroxide solution for 3 hours. Alkali immersion treatment of D. asper strands for producing BOSB for 1-2 hours was still acceptable. The results could provide an alternative method to produce high-performance oriented strand board using bamboo as the raw materials.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the deadliest female cancers. Early identification of cervical cancer through pap smear cell image evaluation is one of the strategies to reduce cervical cancer cases. The classification methods that are often used are SVM, MLP, and K-NN. The weakness of the SVM method is that it is not efficient on large datasets. Meanwhile, in the MLP method, large amounts of data can increase the complexity of each layer, thereby affecting the duration of the weighting process. Moreover, the K-NN method is not efficient for data with a large number of attributes. The ensemble method is one of the techniques to overcome the limitations of a single classification method. The ensemble classification method combines the performance of several classification methods. This study proposes an ensemble method with the majority voting that can be used in cervical cancer classification based on pap smear images in the Herlev dataset. Majority Voting is used to integrate test results from the SVM, MLP, and KNN methods by looking at the majority results on the test data classification. The results of this study indicate that the accuracy results obtained in the ensemble method increased by 1.72% compared to the average accuracy value in SVM, MLP, and KNN. for sensitivity results, the results of the ensemble method were able to increase the sensitivity increase by 0.74% compared to the average of the three single classification methods. for specificity, the ensemble method can increase the specificity results by 3.4%. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the ensemble method with the most votes is able to improve the classification performance of the single classification method in classifying cervical cancer abnormalities with pap smear images.

Abstract

Commercial proteases, such as Nattokinase (NK), Staphylokinase (SAK), and Streptokinase (SK) play an important role in the destruction of thrombus, the main cause of death in cardiovascular disease. The latest technology combining enzymes with certain drugs is the target of new research in the thrombolytic area. The first step is to develop protease from Bacillus thuringiensis HSFI-12 bacteria as an antithrombotic agent, characterization of the bacterial enzyme is necessary. This study aims to determine the specificity of protease from Bacillus thuringiensis HSFI-12 to explore its potential as an antithrombotic agent in terms of anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activities. The molecular weight and specificity of bacterial protease were determined with a zymographic method with casein as substrate. Bacillus thuringiensis HSFI-12 was first cultured on Nutrient Agar (NA) media and then on Skim Milk Agar (SMA) media. The obtained crude protease from Skim Milk Broth (SMB) was then concentrated as dialysate. Both crude and dialysate proteases were tested for their specific activity, as well as anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activities. Next, the dialysate’s molecular weight and specificity on the casein substrate were investigated using the zymographic method. As result, protease activity in crude form is lower than that in dialysate, which was 0.5570 ± 0,004 U/mL and 2.1767 ± 0,005 U/mL, respectively. The molecular weight of the obtained bacterial protease was between 117 – 133 kDa and the enzyme is capable of degrading casein as shown on the zymogram. Overall, both crude and dialysate proteases of Bacillus thuringiensis HSFI-12 show potential as an antithrombotic agent for exhibiting anticoagulant and antiplatelet activities. Yet, it could not exhibit direct fibrinolytic activity implying the possibility that the enzyme plays a role as a plasminogen activator, which can dissolve fibrin by activating plasmin.

Abstract

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus increases every year. In the long term, type 2 diabetes mellitus can lead to complications of other diseases. This study aimed to analyze the risk cluster for type 2 diabetes mellitus based on risk parameters using the Fuzzy C-Means algorithm. The benefit of analyzing the risk cluster as an initial screening to prevent the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study used 905 subjects’ data consisting of 562 males and 343 females. After the data preprocessing, the optimal number of clusters was determined using a Fuzzy C-Means algorithm process. Subsequently, the Pearson correlation test was conducted to determine the correlation between the risk parameters of type 2 diabetes mellitus and the cluster results. The study resulted in 2 risk clusters, subjects in cluster 1 were older than 60 years (34.1%), had a family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (62.7%), had hypertension (55.4%), routinely took medicines (73.5%), undertook physical activity for less than half an hour (40.5%), and had a high blood pressure level (53.5%). The Pearson correlation test found that age, regular medication use, hypertension and blood pressure level all seem to have significant correlations with cluster outcomes. The risk cluster of type 2 diabetes mellitus was separated into two clusters using Fuzzy C-Means algorithm, namely the high-risk cluster and the low-risk cluster.

Abstract

This research was carried out to evaluate the electrochemical performance of a galvanic cell using seawater as an electrolyte. The cell was designed to have a volume of 200 mL and equipped with Zn as an anode and Ag-coated Cu as a cathode (Cu(Ag)-Zn system) in order to suppress the corrosion of Cu. As a comparison, the same experiment with the use of uncoated Cu as a cathode (Cu-Zn system) was also conducted. To conduct the experiment, a system was assembled by connecting 20 cells in series and placed in a closed container filled with seawater. The experiment was run for 72 hours, divided into three 24-hour cycles, by replacing the seawater every 24 hours. The performance of the system was evaluated in terms of open circuit voltage, close circuit voltage, current, light intensity, internal resistance, and power. The experimental results show that the corrosion rate of Cu coated with silver was smaller than that of uncoated Cu. Compared to the performance of the Cu-Zn system, it was also found that the Cu(Ag)-Zn system produced higher power and light intensity, which is in accordance with its smaller internal resistance. The overall experimental results indicate better performance of Cu(Ag)-Zn system and this better performance is attributed to the significantly lower corrosion rate of Cu(Ag) cathode which signifies the role of Ag layer to protect the Cu from attack by seawater. As a result, the Cu(Ag)-Zn system maintained the cathode corrosion rate with a ratio of 0.19. The percentage decrease of the OCV of the Cu(Ag)-Zn system was 6.14%, the CCV on the third day was 0.99%, the current was 36.68%, and the power was 37.83%.
