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.

Abstract

Indonesia has two seasons and witnesses three rainfall patterns throughout the year. Although Aceh and North Sumatra experience low rainfall, the underlying causes of this condition are unknown. Unfortunately, studies on drought in these regions are very limited. This study uses the Effective Drought Index (EDI) to assess drought in these regions using daily rainfall data from 1985–2019 (35 years) from the meteorology, climatology, and geophysics agency stations. These stations are Sultan Iskandar Muda, Malikussaleh, Deli Serdang, and FL Tobing. In this study, the Ocean Niño Index (ONI) and the Dipole Mode Index (DMI) were used to identify El Niño years and positive and negative phases of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). These indices were used to analyze drought-related climatic phenomena. The results obtained indicated that some drought events were not associated with a positive Indian Ocean Dipole or El Niño, as is typically the case. These include the extreme drought in 1989/90 and moderate drought in 1999 at Sultan Iskandar Muda, moderate drought at Malikussaleh (March to June 2008), moderate drought at Deli Serdang in 2010, as well as the drought from January to June 2006 at FL Tobing. Analysis of spatial patterns revealed that moderate droughts were more prevalent than severe and extreme droughts. These drought assessment results are essential for the mitigation of natural catastrophes.

Abstract

The Open Unemployment Level (OUL) is the percentage of the unemployed to the total labor force. One of the provinces with the highest OUL score in Indonesia is West Java Province. If an object of observation is affected by spatial effects, namely spatial dependence and spatial diversity, then the regression model used is the Spatial Autoregressive (SAR) model. Quantile regression minimizes absolute weighted residuals that are not symmetrical. It is perfect for use on data distribution that is not normally distributed, dense at the ends of the data distribution, or there are outliers. The Spatial Autoregressive Quantile Regression (SARQR) is a model that combines spatial autoregressive models with quantile regression. This research used the data regarding OUR in West Java in 2020 from the Central Bureau of Statistics. This study develops to modeling the Open Unemployment Level in all province in Indonesia using modified spatial autoregressive model with the quantile regression approach. This study compares the estimation results based on SAR and SARQR models to obtain an acceptable model. In this study, it was found that the SARQR model is better than SAR at dealing with the problems of dependency and diversity in spatial data modeling and is not easily affected by the presence of outlier data.

Abstract

Control of diseases and pests of maize plants is a significant challenge to ensure global food security, self-sufficiency, and sustainable agriculture. Classification or early detection of diseases and pests of corn plants is intended to assist the control process. Random forest is a classification model in tree-based statistical learning in making decisions. This approach is an ensemble method that generates many decision trees and makes classification decisions based on the majority of trees selecting the same class. However, tree-based methods are often unstable when small changes or disturbances exist in the learning data. Such instability can produce significant variances and affect model performance. This study classifies diseases and pests of the corn plant using a random forest method based on bootstrap-aggregating. It fits multiple models of a single random forest, then combines the predictions from all models and determines the final result using majority voting. The results showed that the bootstrap aggregating could improve the classification of diseases and pests of maize using a random forest if the number of trees is optimal.

Abstract

Supercapacitors can be called electrostatic double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) or pseudo-capacitors based on their energy storage mechanism. Pseudo-capacitors with metal oxide electrodes that transmit electric charge offer great application power but low stability. This study aims to characterize trisodium citrate (TSC) modified NiCo2O4/rGO electrodes as a preliminary study for the NiCo2O4 nanoparticle pseudo-capacitor. The materials were characterized using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), XRD (X-Ray Diffractometer), FT-Raman (Fourier Transform Raman Spectroscopy), and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). All of these analyses confirmed that NiCo2O4 was manufactured successfully using TSC. At XRD, the angles of 2????, namely 45.04 and 53.34°, matched the plane of the cubic phase nanorod crystals of NiCo2O4 with values of 400 and 511, respectively. In the Raman examination, the presence of rGO, which increased the crystallinity of NiCo2O4 nanoparticles, was confirmed. FTIR analysis indicated that the 1550-1600 cm−1 corresponds to a C=C functional group in an aromatic ring or a C=O ????-???? structure, and the wavenumber of 2300 cm−1 corresponds to the OH group in TSC, an alkanoate derivative. SEM analysis determined that NiCo2O4 nanoparticles with 1 mmol TSC are the ideal material for supercapacitor electrodes, as the structure is the most uniform, soft, and tidy. Further analysis is needed to confirm the stability of the modified material.

Abstract

Pristine layered double hydroxides (LDHs) which have been modified into LDHs-metal oxide composite were applied as procion red (PR) photodegradation catalysts. The preparation was performed using a low calcination temperature of 300°C. Optimization variations include pH, catalyst weight and catalysis time. The degradation percentages of Mg/Al LDH, Mg/Al-TiO2 and Mg/Al-ZnO were 51.8%, 72.0% and 89.5%, respectively. The percentage of degradation of Zn/Al LDH, Zn/Al-TiO2 and Zn/Al-ZnO were 44.0%, 61.2% and 58.4%, respectively. The study results showed that all composites produced a greater percentage of PR degradation and better reusability than pristine LDH. Mg/Al LDH-based catalysts tend to catalyze PR better than Zn/Al LDH-based catalysts. PR which is an anionic dye when photodegraded using Mg/Al-ZnO tends to be better than Mg/Al-TiO2 meanwhile Zn/Al-TiO2 and Zn/Al-ZnO have competitive performance.
