The ion wind drying method has been used to dehydrate potato slices with a variation of electric power and a constant drying time of 30 minutes. Ion wind drying is generated by an electrohydrodynamic flow reactor using 10 x 10 pairs of pin electrodes and multi-ring concentric electrodes connected by a DC high voltage. The high electric field in space between electrode causes ionization of air at the atmosphere condition which is produced ion flow together with heat transfer, and radical ions which are used for drying. Power in the reactor during drying is influenced by the input voltage and the measured current obtained a minimum value of 10 Watt and a maximum value of 60 Watt. Ion wind drying in the sample slices found also the value of the level of drying, shrinkage, humidity, and energy consumption which increases with increasing power at the reactor.

This paper presents the implementation of the Python programming language and the Open CV library in medical image processing. Medical images play an important role in identifying diseases and detecting whether organs are functioning properly. Image processing related to medical images is an active research field where various techniques are used to facilitate diagnosis and various image processing techniques can be used. In this study, image processing was performed including image preprocessing, histogram equalization, smoothening, erosion, and dilation. The use of python was chosen because this programming language is open source with a lot of available resources. The open CV library is also available free of charge and provides tons of image processing functions. The software can also be installed in a small Raspberry Pi computer and low electrical power usage making it very suitable as an efficient resource of the medical image processing system.

This paper presents the image processing implementation in Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is a system built-in and is a low-cost computer that can be used to reduce system complexity in real-time applications. For programming, it's very good to use Python. Raspberry pi has a Camera Slot Interface (CSI) to interface the camera with Raspberry Pi. Low contrast images captured using the Raspberry Pi camera module can be scaled up first to identify specific image regions. The most important processing is the removal of noise as a result of noise disturbance during image acquisition on the camera. Due to its small size, which is about the size of a credit card and its lightweight, raspberry pi is very suitable for use as a portable medical image processing system. Besides that Raspberry Pi also consumes low power.

Study of interaction between MJO and Monsoon and their impact on the extreme rainfall over the Maritime Continent (MC) until now not yet fully understood due to the limitation of data observation. However, there many techniques to derive the extreme rainfall from the satellite data, especially for GSMap (Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation) that already designed with good spatial-temporal resolution. In this study, we have investigated the interaction between MJO and Asian Monsoon when they are interactive simultaneously. By taking the Makasar city as a sample of big floods over South Sulawesi dated January 22, 2019, we found a good agreement between MJO, Monsoon, and their impact on the extreme rainfall in that time. We applied four techniques, namely; temporal, spatial, Hovmoller, and PSD (Power Spectral Density), respectively. Then, we found the MJO in phases 4 and 5 were responsible for the occurring of big rainfall over South Sulawesi. For this reason, we suspect the development of the MJO index model, especially for phases 4 and 5 when passing over South Sulawesi is very important for the next investigation.

Volcano disasters are one of the natural disasters that often occur in Indonesia, one of which is Merapi. The impact of the periodic eruption of Mount Merapi is a major threat to the safety of the population periodically. The large eruption cycle of Merapi Volcano occurred in 1587, 1672, 1768, 1822, 1849, 1872, 1930, 1961 and 2010. The results of the 1988,1998 and 2011 studies showed the increasing number of magmas which can be observed from the dimensions of the magma chamber. The structure changes are predicted from phreatic eruptions in 2013, 2014 and 2016, whereas in 2018 and 2019 occurrence of pyroclastic flow. The research of gravity changes used observed gravity anomaly in 2019 as the first step of time-lapse Merapi activity analysis. The number of observation points was 100 with reference to the same position in 2011. The results of observed gravity anomaly changes are increasing mass in the summit area and decreasing mass in the southeast, west and the north of research areas on the elevation of 500 m to 1400 m.

A study of light polarization as a new alternative test of cooking oil quality today provides an advantage in biophysics and other fields. In this research, we determined the relation between polarization and fatty acids composition of soybean oil. The light source was a green pointer laser with λ = 532 nm, and the electro-optics polarization was produced through high DC voltage 0-9 kV across the sample. The results show that natural polarization and electro-optics polarization give different physical meanings in relation to oil fatty acid composition. The natural polarization informed that the increasing polarization was caused by increasing poly-unsaturated acids and saturated acids in asymmetric triglyceride molecules. It was accompanied by the decreasing polarization due to the increasing monounsaturated in symmetric triglyceride molecules. While the electro-optics polarization described that all fatty acids contribute to the increasing polarization due to increased induced dipole from all acids.

In this paper, we present a method for identifying a person with a biometric-based on face geometry. This person identification system design has been done using face biometrics by implementing feature extraction of distances between facial features. Face biometrics were chosen because they have unique characteristics and do not change in each person. In this method, a system analysis that separates the face image into face components, including the eyes, nose, and mouth on the face image is taken from the front view position. Each component of the feature that has been detected is measured by its distance to form the face semantics. The steps taken in image processing begin with determining the region of interest (ROI). Furthermore, the results of cropping ROI feature extraction are done to get the eye, nose and mouth. After that, a centroid is determined for each feature so that the distance between features can be calculated using the equation of the distance between the two coordinates, so we get 8 distances as matching parameters. The matching process is done using euclidean distance, which is calculating the smallest distance between the test image and the database. Based on research results, this system can be used to identify someone using face biometrics with fixed poses and expressions. The accuracy of this system is 100 percent

Fulfillment of nutrition for children under five years of age is a factor that needs to be considered in maintaining children's health because in infancy it is a period of development that is vulnerable to nutritional status. Based on data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2015 shows that the number of malnutrition is still high, as many as 185 in each province, and it is estimated that there are still around 12 million that have not been reported. The main problem with the high number of malnutrition status lies in the weakness of the recording and reporting process so that the government cannot have information that can be used to conduct early detection of the incidence of malnutrition. The weak process of recording nutritional status is caused by the lack of available instruments that can be used for the recording and reporting process. Based on the above problems, the Mozita application was used to process the recording and reporting of under-five nutritional status based on anthropometry tables. The Mozita application guarantees the accuracy, speed, and convenience in terms of knowing the early growth of toddlers. This study focused on measuring the quality of information on the Mozita application, which includes aspects of accuracy, timeliness, suitability, completeness, and ease of use. Measuring the quality of information is done by using questionnaires distributed to respondents (midwives), then for further analysis using the weighted average pre and post. The results of descriptive data analysis showed that the overall weighted average value of information quality pre Mozita application development was 1.01 and the post was 2.78. Pre and post value is the value of information quality which includes aspects of accuracy, timeliness, suitability, completeness, and ease of use. Comparison between pre and post values has increased by 1.77. An increase in the value of 0.63 can be interpreted that there is a positive influence on the quality of Mozita application information on aspects of accuracy, timeliness, suitability, completeness, and ease of use.

Jakarta is the most densely populated province in Indonesia and it will grow over time. This overwhelming population causes a decrease in the quality and supply of groundwater. Brines has been discovered in several areas in Jakarta. Several studies conducted by earth science researchers conclude that brine in Jakarta appears from either seawater intrusion or trapped connate water. This study focuses on the use of the geoelectric method to evaluate the groundwater quality problem in Kelurahan Marunda. Methods used in this study are resistivity, self-potential, and groundwater sampling. Conductivity, Salinity, pH and water table elevation are the parameters used in this study. These methods are done to observe subsurface groundwater quality, fluid flow and how far the seawater infiltrated. Based on the result of groundwater data of 40 wells, high conductivity and high salinity zones are found. High conductivity in this area affected mostly by the saline factor indicated by high salinity and neutral pH. The subsoil has low resistivity values showed by 2D resistivity data. Also, self-potential data displays a North-South groundwater subsurface fluid flow 1, 20 km from the coastline. Altogether, these data indicate seawater intrusion in Kelurahan Marunda, North Jakarta.

Black-cube-gambir (pale catechin) is a processed gambir (Uncaria gambier) extract. Containing condensed tannin, black-cube-gambir could be used as a vegetable tanning agent in the leather making process. Some industries in Indonesia use pickled hide/skin as raw material for the next process that the previous bating process is uncontrolled. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of rebating in the re-pickle stage on the leather tanned with Uncaria gambir. For alum-gambir tanned leather, rebating increased its softness, tear strength, and hydrothermal stability, while for glutaraldehyde-gambir tanned leather, rebating increased its tensile strength, degree of tannage, and tannin bound. The broad DSC peak revealed that the distribution of collagen molecules of all samples was unequal. Rebating could increase and decrease the quality of leather.

Jakarta is a large city with a 10.37 million population. Most of the clean water needs are provided via groundwater. This might be a problem for some areas with groundwater conditions such as brine, or even salty water. The salt-water issue in Jakarta is not uncommon. Many researchers have conducted their studies on this topic from many perspectives. They are all divided into 2 main general conclusions, saltwater happens because of intrusion and saltwater is there because it is connate water. This study aims to give a new perspective on understanding the salt-water issue. Methods used for this study are gravity measurement to get a horizontal gradient value. The other is groundwater well sampling to measure the value of pH, salinity, conductivity, and water table elevation. These methods will be comprehensively interpreted to get the direction of subsurface fluid flow. Results from salinity and conductivity of groundwater show more salinity and conductivity in the North direction and less on the South one. Gravity data and the geological map also suggest that there is a fluid flow coming from North East to South West. All of these methods used in this study have come to one conclusion, there is water flowing from the sea to the land, therefore there is a most likely saltwater intrusion on the region where this study is conducted.

Programming was made to calculate the Ground Shear Strain (GSS) value of microtremor data using Python. Microtremor is a repetitive ground vibration that propagates in soils containing certain sources. The microtremor method can be used to determine the value of Ground Shear Strains (GSS). Ground Shear Strain can be used to characterize the impacts occur during earthquakes, such as liquefaction, soil cracking, land subsidence, landslides, and ground vibration. Analyzing GSS value can be used to obtain information about soil response of an earthquake as a disaster reconstruction in the mitigation effort. In this research, the data processing conducted by the following steps: (i) Processing data using geopsy software to get the values of predominant frequency (f0) and amplification(A0), (ii) Finding νs30 value using USGS data, and (iii) Making python scripts for calculating microtremor data. The result of this research showed that calculating microtremor data can be done by using python software and has the same value as if using Microsoft excel.

The vehicle velocity monitoring system is an important part of the transportation system. This system is used to conduct monitoring and evaluations so that the quality of the land transportation system can be improved. At present, there are many vehicle velocity monitoring systems. Unfortunately, most of these devices still have to be operated manually, some other devices may have been automated, but it still involves many devices that must be installed, so it is causing problems in installation, maintenance, and repair in the event of damage. In this research, we propose a rule-based cloud system, which monitors the average speed of vehicles passing on the roads that can be used to evaluate the traffic controller at crossroads using the Maps API-Service that accessed via RESTful web services. Longitude and latitude coordinates of the road are inputted into the Maps API-Service than results in distance and travel time data. This data is then developed into other information using the formula and rule-based method to measure the vehicle's velocity and traffic controller performance. The result of this research produces a cloud-based information system that can measure vehicle velocity and performance of crossroads traffic controllers in real-time and automatically.

Ngempon Temple was discovered below the ground level caused by collapsed land in 1952 in Ngempon Village, Bergas Sub-district, Semarang Regency. The HVSR method is used in the three-component microtremor to identify the bedrock response frequency. Additionally, this method can be used to determine the dominant resonance frequency (f0) and the peak value of HVSR (A), which shows the dynamic characteristics of sediments. This study aims to determine the position and types of archaeological objects that are still hidden and make a modeling of the subsurface conditions. The method used in this study is a trapezoidal measurement geometry by measuring spaces within 2 meters. Data retrieval duration is 10 minutes for each point, and the specified frequency sampling is 10 Hz. The H/V curve generated from data processing will result in the frequency value and amplification that will be analyzed and linked to the Ngempon Temple archaeological data. The results obtained from this study indicate the existence of the temple's fundamental rocks and rock debris model below the surface indicated by the contours of the HVSR spectrum profile. They are an amplification value of 1.3 and the response frequency with a sensitivity of up to 4 Hz from the surface, and an amplification value of 1.3 and the response frequency with a sensitivity of 5.8-10 Hz. The sensitivity to measurements is based on whether the response passes the excavation of BPCB Central Java. If it passes, then the response indicates an anomaly of the fundamental rocks. Vice versa, if the measurement does not pass the object of research, the response only shows the existence of temple rocks fragments. The amplification value and frequency of response shows a difference between the temple rock and the sediments above it.

Low head hydropower has the potential to produce green energy with a minimum on the environment and is one of the best choices for decentralized power plants. Aceh is one of many regions in Indonesia with hilly topography and many river streams. Of the 66 rivers in Aceh that have potential energy sources that can be developed 98.5 percent are low head. Generally, the technique for overcoming altitude problems in low river flows is the use of low head turbines. An important aspect of head power generation techniques is the selection of turbines. The study aimed to study low head propeller turbines for the use of micro hydropower plants. By calculating the main dimensions and main components of the turbine, field experiments were carried out to determine turbine rotation and energy, as well as turbine efficiency at a flow rate of 0.06 m3/sec and a 3.5-meter head. The calculation results obtained by a specific turbine speed of 1.53, runner diameter of 0.30 meters, hub diameter of 0.06 meters, shaft diameter 0.03, runner length 1.08, triangular speed of 30 degrees with the number of blades 4 pieces. From the results of field experiments, the maximum turbine rotation speed is 1828 rpm, the turbine power is 2,530 watts with a voltage between 220 to 240 volts while the maximum efficiency is 57 percent. It can be concluded that propeller-type turbines with the low head are suitable for micro power plants, especially in remote areas.

The HTR-10 is a gas-cooled high-temperature reactor with spherical fuel and moderator called pebble bed and operated on 10 MW thermal power. Until now, a lot of research and development on the HTR-10 in terms of neutronic computational modeling has been carried out, one of which is burnup analysis. Fuel depletion or burnup analysis is an analysis related to fuel control and reactor output power. This analysis is needed because changes in fuel composition will affect the neutronic parameter values of a reactor. The 10 MW HTR fuel depletion study has been conducted by modeling the reactor using MCNPX (Monte Carlo N-Particle e-Xtended) to analyze the effect of radius and enrichment of reactor fuel to the left value and the burnup rate. The study is conducted by modeling a 10 MW HTR with three sorts of fuel kernel radiuses using MCNPX. First, 250 μm radius, second, 275 μm radius, third, 300 μm radius and all radiuses are variated with 10-15% fuel enrichment. TRISO particles are dispersed using simple cubic (SC) lattice in the fuel zone. The fuel balls are allocated in the reactor core along with moderator balls using a body-centered cubic. To perform all the calculations, MCNPX utilizes continuous energy data library ENDF/B-VI. From the calculation result using MCNPX can be concluded that the kernels with the radius of 275 μm and 300 μm at 14% and 13% fuel enrichment respectively were more able to maintain a critical condition within a year of operation than the kernels a 250 μm radius and the fuel with 250 μm radius has the highest burnup rate that is 52,07 GWd/MTU.

Colloidal gadolinium nanoparticles (GdNPs) have been produced by using pulsed laser ablation (PLA) method. The synthesis in this study used a low-power neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) laser (45 mJ). Pulse laser beam, which has specifications of 1064 nm, 7ns, 10 Hz, was focused on high-purity metal gadolinium (Gd) surface, which was placed into a spinach-extracted liquid, to produce GdNPs colloid. It is known that the spinach naturally contains iron (Fe), which is a quite high concentration from FeSO4.7H2O. The magnetic characteristics of iron are ferromagnetism, likewise, gadolinium. As the contrast agent, especially in MRI, the magnetic characteristics of the material are needed to improve the image quality. Colloidal GdNPs were successfully produced at a total concentration of 71 ppm after laser bombardment. The TEM image of GdNPS shows that these nanoparticles had a spherical shape. The average diameter of GdNPs was 15 nm.

In material science, there are several methods for detecting elemental content in a material (sample) such as X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), (X-Ray Diffraction) XRD, (Scanning Electron Microscope) SEM, (Transmission Electron Microscope) TEM), etc. Non-metallic samples such as gemstone can be detected by XRF and XRD methods. But in this method, the sample must get special treatment such as being crushed and converted into powder form. In this study, LIBS was used to identify elements in a gemstone. The laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) method is an alternative method for solving deficiencies in the previous study. The results show the same elements contained in the gemstone can clearly be detected. The elements are also confirmed by using the standard technique of X-ray fluorescence and the result revealed that the elements are consistent as in the case of the LIBS technique.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted much attention because these unconventional solar cells exhibit high performance and have the potential for low-cost production. To achieve higher performances for solar cells based on organic dyes, comparable to those for solar cells based on the color spectrum, the light absorption of organic dyes is required. In a DSSC, the electrodes are surrounded by a thin shell and a dye monolayer for 3 colors of dyes. Based on the optical properties, the large absorption of light can be given in a colorless dye with a wavelength of the most extensive. Combination colors from three-band basic colors, such as red (R), green (G) and blue (B) can create the optimum light absorption. The Incident Photon-to-charge Carrier Efficiency (IPCE) will be high if the absorption spectrum graph of dye color is large too, therefore the Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) will produce photon current (If) or high short-circuit current (Isc). To ensure solid surface coverage, the dye must have a high absorption coefficient on TiO2. The electrodes can be maximized with reduced layer thickness so the possibility of recombination decreases with decreasing electrode thickness and thicker electrolytes with low vapor pressure can be applied. The longer the wavelength, the less absorption will cause a small portion of the sun's spectrum to disappear. The experiment showed that a combination of three band colors of dye is obtained the largest light absorption. This black color proved to have the greatest light absorption. The experiment can result for the exhibit a high open-circuit voltage VOC of 320 mV, open-circuit current IOC of 0.045 mA, maximum voltage Vmax of 134 mV, maximum current Imax of 0.044 mA, maximum power Pmax of 5.89 μW, Fill Factor (FF) of 42 and a power conversion efficiency of 9.1%.

This work studied the optimization of low-temperature drying by using a laboratory scale and applied it on the pilot plant scale of fluidized bed dryer integrated with zeolite adsorption. The drying time was observed regarding the airflow rate, temperature and zeolite-tea leave ratio. The green tea leaves moisture content was specified gravimetrically until constant weight can be obtained. Applying 70°C as the drying temperature, the green tea leave is secure for a faster drying rate and can be avoided from the catechin epimerization and thermal degradation. Applying 0.40 m/s as airflow rate can remove the water surface faster than 0.50 m/s of airflow rate, although it needs a longer time to drag out the inner moisture content of the solid. The pilot-plant scale required longer time (40 minutes) on the first falling rate period than laboratory scale (30 minutes), although it gave faster second falling rate period at the same airflow rate (0.50 m/s), temperature (70° C) and zeolite-tea leave ratio (25:75).

Fresh celery leaves dried at 50°C, 60°C and 70°C in continuous vibrating fluidized bed dryer with a dimension of 2350 mm × 300 mm. Energy and exergy analysis was conducted to determine the performance of the system, among others, energy utilization, energy efficiency, and efficiency of the exergy so it can be known potential energy savings can be obtained. From the calculation results can be concluded that the increase in drying temperature will increase energy utilization and energy utilization ratio and decrease the efficiency of the exergy. Average energy utilization ratio at 50°C is 0.0768, at 60°C is 0.1199 and at 70°C is 0.1682. Exergy efficiencies decrease with increasing temperature. Average exergy efficiencies are 0.19, 0,16 and 0.17 for 50°, 60° and 70°C drying temperature respectively. The main factor that causes thermodynamic inefficiency is the exergy that leaves the system, exergy destruction and loss of exergy to the surrounding air.

The significant growth in catch fisheries and aquaculture production has enhanced the world's capacity to consume diverse and nutritious food; however, this fast-growing industry has resulted in the environmental disturbance, especially caused by fish farming. The nutrient was generated from fish excretion and unfed pellet in the form of dissolved organic matter, especially as nitrogen and phosphate particulates. Therefore, applying mathematical models is crucial to understand and minimize the impact on the water ecosystem, thus maximizing productivity. This paper aims to research to analyze the global and stability of the equilibrium point the dynamical system that water and sediment in aquaculture Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) system. Analysis stability global has been proved by constructing the Lyapunov function. The gradient method is used to construct the Lyapunov function in the most general form. The method is based on the assumption of a variable gradient function by determining V and ∇V. In the Lyapunov method construction, if the function V(x) would be definite positive, whereas derivative V(x) would be a definite negative. Models of nitrogen, phosphate, phytoplankton, and sediment system exhibited globally asymptotically stable. This implies that fish farming using the IMTA system on Karimunjawa island was still considerably under normal condition.

The weighted exponential distribution function has a specific curve shape, the curve from zero reaches to the maximum point then down, and at a certain time it is relatively constant tends to zero. This function can be used to describe the growth curve model. Minimally supported design is a design with the number of supported design equal to the number of parameters in the model. Locally D-optimal design for the weighted exponential model is minimally supported design with uniform weight. The standardized variance of D-optimal design is less than or equal to the number of parameters and maximized the standardized variance at the supported designs. We propose an alternative design by adding one supported design. Nonminimally supported design is obtained from supported design of D-optimal design plus one supported design in three ways, by adding one of them, by adding the average of them or by adding one supported design around them. We compare nonminimally supported designs in terms of efficiency, standardized variance, and propose a design that is efficient and practically convenient for practitioners.

The Multiperiod Degree Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree (MPDCMST) is a problem of finding the smallest weight spanning tree while also maintaining the degree restriction in every vertex and satisfying the vertex installation requirement in every period. This problem arises in the networks installation problem where the degree restriction represents the reliability of each vertex and the vertex installation requirement represents the priority vertices that must be installed in the network on a certain period. The installation is divided into some periods because some conditions occur such as harsh weather, fund limitation, etc. In this paper, we propose a WAC4 Algorithm to solve the MPDCMST problem. The performance of the algorithm will be compared to the WAC1 algorithm already in the literature.

Missing values in strip plot design cause an unbalanced design. As a result, several problems occur in analyzing the data. This paper presents the estimation of two and three missing values from strip-plot design with the fixed model using the Yates approach. However, the estimation toward the missing values in strip-plot design causes bias on the treatment mean squares which is shown by its expected value. To omit the bias caused by the estimated values, a procedure of Satterthwaite-Cochran approximation is applied. The procedure corrects the bias and gives an adjusted analysis of variance for the hypothesis test.

Cellulose is a polymer that is abundant in the environment, but they are unable to digest by the human digestive system. This study aims to determine the anti-pathogenic ability and measure the cellulase activity of B-G31 isolate. Auto-aggregation and co-aggregation methods were used to analyze the anti-pathogenic role of B-G31 against biofilm formed by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. To assess glucose concentration obtained from cellulose degradation, B-G31 supernatant was reacted in different CMC concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%) and was measured their absorbance (OD540) using ELISA spectrophotometer. The study has revealed that the percentage of B-G31 auto-aggregation is 26% and they can explicitly inhibit colonization of E. coli and S. aureus biofilm accounted for 20.21% and 21.20%, respectively, the bacteria also exhibited antagonistic activity towards two bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, enzyme activity was relatively high in the presence of 2% CMC with 0.913 U/mL to yield average glucose of 411.75 ppm and significantly different from that in the control group (p < 0.05). However, the enzyme value in 0.5% CMC concentration was about 0.345 U/mL and not significantly different from control group (p > 0.05). Our results indicated that B-G31 isolated from Valanganigricornis can form aggregates against bacterial-tests biofilm and increase degradation of cellulose, thus, the isolate could probably be used as probiotics to digest cellulose.

The different duck husbandry techniques, the type of feeds, and environments are believed to have an impact on the diversity of duck's gut microbiome. This research has the objective to examine the diversity of gut microbiome of duck in different husbandry models, i.e., cage and non-cage. The research design was an exploratory study. Duck samples were taken purposively from both cage (CG) and non-cage (NCG) methods at local duck farms in Gunungpati, Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. Five grams of duck intestinal samples were prepared for DNA isolation, 16S rRNA gene amplification in the V3-V4 region and were sequenced with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) method: metagenomics. The 16S metagenomic analysis was performed using QIIME2 (Ver. 2019.4). The most dominant gut bacteria that found in both CG and NCG was Family Enterobacteriaceae, Phylum Proteobacteria and followed by Lactobacillaceae from Phylum Firmicutes. However, the bacterial diversity map in family level was not shown a significant trend between CG and NCG. There were 851 shared species belongs to NCG and CG; it means that more than 800 same bacteria species build up the gut ecosystem both in NCG and CG. It is likely because of similar feed and environmental condition from the two husbandries. The diversity of duck gut microbiome in Gunungpati may be closely related to feeding, rearing techniques, and environments. The number of bacteria species in the non-caged duck (NCG) was higher than CG or caged duck.

Natural zeolite is believed to be able to effectively reduce heavy metal levels in water. However, due to the weakness of natural zeolites which have a low surface area and impurity so that the adsorption ability of heavy metals becomes less optimal. Increasing the surface area by using high energy milling is expected to optimize the ability of adsorption. In this study, the particle size of natural zeolite was reduced by using high energy milling then activated with HCl and NH4Cl. The adsorption process was carried out by mixing activated zeolite and activated zeolite milling(activated zeolite fine powder) in a solution of metal ions Zn(II) and Cd(II). SEM-EDX analysis showed a change in surface morphology size on activated zeolite milling and GSA indicated an increase in surface area from 69.48 m2/g to 97.9 m2/g. Activated zeolite tends to having a little bigger in ability of adsorption to Cd(II) ions and Zn (II) ions than activated zeolite milling in highest variation of concentration, 800 ppm. In optimum contact time of adsorption, activated zeolite could adsorp Cd(II) ions shorter nevertheless longer to Zn(II) ions than activated zeolite milling. Both of the zeolites have ability to adsorp Zn(II) ions more than Cd(II) ions.

This research aims to carry out the production of fatty acids through hydrothermal autocatalytic hydrolysis of palm oil. The production of commercial fatty acids is the hydrolysis of crude palm oil which is carried out using the Colgate-Emery process. This process is considered to be less efficient because the hydrolysis time is quite long, the conversion is relatively low and the product purification load is more complex in the presence of an acid catalyst. Hydrothermal autocatalytic hydrolysis is a liquid phase reaction which is maintained at a temperature of 100-374°C under certain pressure or referred to as subcritical water Research on the forming of fatty acids through autocatalytic hydrolysis of palm oil in a hydrothermal reactor was investigated experimentally. The research variables varied were temperature and reaction time. To conclude, as the reactor temperature increases and the hydrothermal reaction time is longer, the number of acids obtained increases, meaning that the fatty acids produced through the autocatalytic reaction get bigger.

Synthesis of eugenol-divinylbenzene copolymers were carried out by reacting eugenol with various percent weight of divinylbenzene in a reactor at room temperature for 24 hours in the presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Methanol was used to quench the copolymerization process. The effect of DVB mass on copolymer properties was studied based on molecular weight, thermal stability, surface morphology and swelling degree of the copolymers produced. The weight percent of the added DVB was responsible for the molecular weight of the copolymer by multiplying the site for propagation in the copolymerization process. In addition, the greater DVB used the better thermal resistance of polymer is obtained, which is possibly due to the higher number of DVB causing the larger cross-linked polymer network to increase the polymer bond thermal resistance. The swelling degree value was also affected by the number of crosslinkers used, in which make the polymer material become harder to expand. However, the influence of the weight percent of DVB was not seen on the copolymer morphology.

Supply chain management (SCM) plays a great role in any company, a good SCM requires a good selection of all its components. One of the components is the raw material supplier selection that needs to consider both tangible and intangible factors in each supplier. Therefore, we can use fuzzy AHP which uses an intangible approach and fuzzy MOLP which uses a tangible approach. In this paper, we aim to use both methods to get the rank order of the best suppliers from all 5 suppliers in a woodworking company. The result shows that both methods can work together as the rank order from both methods gives the same result. However, sensitivity analysis is done in case both methods give different rank order. Sensitivity analysis shows that change in criteria from 10% to 100% make a variance in fuzzy AHP from 0% to 30% while fuzzy MOLP from 75% to 100%. That means fuzzy AHP is more robust than fuzzy MOLP. We also found that fuzzy AHP is influenced heavily by the expertise of the expert as two experts give different results while fuzzy MOLP is more objective-oriented using real data. These results suggest that each Method has its own characteristics that must be put into mind when we use it.

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) is a method to generate mass for all elementary particles in the Standard Model (SM). Even so, it turns out that the Higgs mass term in the Higgs potential, which responsible for the SSB, does not scale invariant. Based on this problem, instead of using SSB from the SM to explain the origin of mass, we erase Higgs's mass term from the SM Lagrangean and introduce a hidden sector Lagrangean to produce an alternative way to generate Higgs mass. We use Scalar Bilinear Condensate ineffective theory to obtain Higgs mass via the Higgs portal and generate the SSB. The hidden sector in this alternative model is described by an SU(NCA) gauge theory with U(1)3 flavor. In the calculation, we use the Mean-Field Approximation Lagrangean in obtaining the vacuum of the potential to get a Higgs mass term in this model.

The problem in private universities in the developing country is that they have many computers in the computer laboratory but do not have enough resources to maintain it. The part of the computer that is most frequently damaged is a hard disk drive due to unstable electricity and causes many computers to become inactive due to universities inability to replace it. In this study, we present comprehensive research on reviving existing inactive computers with minimal expenditure. We use a combination of PXE, DHCP, TFTP, and VHD to implement the Network Boot System (NBS). In addition, we conducted simulations to measure the client's network booting time on HDD and SSD. The simulations were carried out using 15 client PCs booted simultaneously from NBS's server using two different master images on HDD and SSD. We found that all of the inactive computers could work normally. The use of SSD could increase the performance of NBS significantly. The expenditure cost to use mainstream SSD for an NBS's server is much lower than having to replace the HDD for the entire inactive computers. Those strengthen that an NBS is feasible to be used on low-cost laboratory computers.

Breast cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the world. One way that can be done to reduce the number of death cases is to do early detection using MicroRNA data. MicroRNA is one of the cancer biomarkers that can help in the classification process. MicroRNA can be used to identify whether a cell is a cancer cell or not even in the earliest stages. The deep Neural Network (DNN) method consists of two or more layers of self-learning units (hidden units). The weight of hidden units that are fully connected between two layers can be learned automatically. However, DNN still has a weakness which is the changes in the distribution of each layer's inputs that cause problems, because the layers need to continue to adapt to the new distribution and produce less optimal accuracy values. This research was conducted to get the best architectural selection of the DNN method used for breast cancer classification using MicroRNA data. The results of the DNN method with the best architecture obtained was 3 hidden layers with 200 hidden units each, 30% dropout rate in the combination of the ReLU, ReLU, ReLU activation functions and the learning rate of 0.04 resulting in the highest accuracy of 94.58% with a specificity of 96.45% and sensitivity of 91.02%.

Malaria has been a health problem in Indonesia, including in sub-district Kaligesing, district Purworejo of Central Java Province. Malaria has also been identified as an endemic especially in the villages of Jatirejo, Kaliharjo, and Somongari. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of malaria incidence based on distribution of cases, surrounding house related cases, and the Anopheles breeding place of malaria vectors. This descriptive based research with a case study approach investigated 61 malaria cases as respondents from 2016-2018 in Jatirejo, Kaliharjo and Somongari Villages sampled using total population method. The chosen variables were behaviour and environment of the respondents in relation to the presence of Anopheles vector breeding grounds. Data were analyzed descriptively and displayed in tables and maps. The results of the analysis showed that the average age of the malaria sufferer was 34 years old, male (60.7%), and most of them (45%) were coconut farmers. The most common symptoms of malaria experienced by respondents were fever, chills, headaches, and night sweats. In addition, 24.6% did not use insecticide-treated netting while sleeping. Spatially, the highest distribution of malaria cases was identified in Jatirejo Village, as its topography is plateau with a plantation area. Meanwhile, the existence of breeding places was found surrounding respondents' houses. To prevent from having malaria, people have been advised to take precautions by wearing long clothes when going out at night, using repellents/anti-mosquito treatments, providing larvicides at breeding sites around their house.

Radiological examination of the head bone is an integral part in the management of patients suffering from head trauma. This is because X-ray of the head bone is still quite significant in diagnosing fractures of the head bone. X-ray examination of cases of injury to the facial bones required two times the examination of the lateral head of high and low intensity x-ray to produce different image information due to heterogeneity of the head bone. At this time there is no method to improve image quality by combining the two images. in this study a method of improving image quality with fusion on high-low lateral head bone radiographs is proposed. This research is an experimental study to compare two variables measured from unequal (free) samples, where the group that is compared is more than two, namely the quality of lateral images of high intensity head, low intensity and fusion. Image quality assessment is done using a histogram which is then analysed using the Friedman test. The results showed that the average gray level on the highest histogram was sequentially at high intensity, fusion and finally at low intensity. The statistical test results obtained p value 0.007 which means that there are differences in the quality of lateral head images at high intensities, low intensities and fusion. Fusion image quality obtained grey level values that are between high and low intensity images, this illustrates that using of image fusion is able to provide more complete image information.

Diabetes mellitus disease is disease which abnormal metabolism for a long time, because pancreas can not be able to produce insulin hormone be enough, or because body can not be able to use insulin hormone has been produced by effective. A stroke occurs if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a portion of the brain is blocked. Without oxygen, brain cells start to die after a few minutes. Sudden bleeding in the brain also can cause a stroke if it damages brain cells. These objectives are finding significant factors which cause diabetes mellitus disease and determine ordinal regression model. Ordinal regression model is used to look for probability and reliability functions of a patient has stroke disease. The method used to three link functions, that are logit link function, normit link function, and cloglog link function. Testing of homogeneity prediction result of link functions uses linear hypothesis test. Factors caused diabetes mellitus are body mass index, high density lipoprotein, and albuminuria. These factors cause to diabetes mellitus and stroke could be used to prevent diseases, in order to all persons are healthy and happy. The result that probability of a patient with macroalbuminuria has stroke greater than microalbuminuria and a patient with microalbuminuria has stroke greater than normal. Probability of patient with macroalbuminuria by logit, normit, and clogloc link functions is decrease, respectively. Probability of patient with microalbuminuria by logit, normit, and cloglog link functions is increase, respectively. Reliability of a patient with macroalbuminuria, normal, and microalbuminuria have stroke, respectively, is decrease. Reliability of patient with macroalbuminuria by logit, normit, and clogloc link functions, respectively, is increase. Reliability of patient with microalbuminuria by logit, normit, and clogloc link functions, respectively, is zero. All of link function methods yield estimation probability value is the same. AIC value of logit link function, normit link function, and cloglog link function are, respectively, 167.6826, 168.3965, and 169.6107. These results are same by the result of linear hypothesis analysis that AIC values are not different meanwhile their AIC values are not equal. Therefore, logit model, normit model and cloglog model could be used to predict probability with result almost same.

Diabetic ulcers are open sores on the skin through into the dermis, which if not properly managed, can increase amputation cases. Over the past few decades, ozone generated using plasma medical technology has been investigated to have the ability as an agent that helps wound healing. This study aims to evaluate the effect of topical ozonated VCO on the diabetic wound healing in the diabetic mice model. This study was an experimental study with post-test control design. Ulcer wound model was made in 50 diabetic male Wistar mice. They are divided into 5 groups, the first group (control) was given conventional therapy and the other groups (treatment) were given conventional therapy and topical ozonated VCO with different flow durations (0 min, 90 min, 7 h, 14 h). Then, the characteristics of wound healing (macroscopic and wound lengths) were observed in day 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14. The results of this study showed that the reduction of wound length was proportionally related to the duration of ozone flow. Topical VCO with the longer duration of ozone flow would heal the wound more quickly and had the shortest wound length at the end of the observation. VCO with ozone flow for 14 hours (16837.10 µm) had the biggest reduction of wound length, following by VCO with ozone flow for 7 hours (14209.64 µm), 90 minutes (14071.96 µm), 0 minutes (8531.99 µm), and control group (6370.77 µm). Therefore, we concluded that topical ozonated VCO improved diabetic wound healing process in diabetic ulcer mice model and can be used as adjuvant therapy for diabetic ulcers.

Liver cancer is one of the highest causes of death in the world. According to IARC data in 2018, the number of cases of liver cancer reached 841,080 cases and 781,631 of them declared dead. One effort that can be done to reduce cases of death from liver cancer is early detection by doing a classification on MicroRNA data. MicroRNA can be used to identify whether a cell is a cancer cell or not at the earliest stages. MicroRNA data studied was obtained from the GDC Data Portal of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The Deep Neural Network (DNN) method is one of the methods that can be used in classifying cancer. Data normalization in the DNN method brings input values with an unlimited range into a limited range of output values. Data normalization at data pre-processing work more optimally by adding activation functions and Batch Normalization in each hidden layer. Different types of normalization and use of different activation functions can be compared to get the best accuracy value for DNN. This study compares three types of data normalization, namely Min-Max, Sigmoid, and Softmax. Whereas the activation functions being compared are ReLU, Sigmoid, and TanH. The results showed the best accuracy for the classification of liver cancer with MicroRNA data obtained using Min-Max data normalization, ReLU activation function, batch normalization with parameters of 2 hidden layers, 200 epochs, and 0.004 learning rate with an accuracy value reaching 98.33%.

Semarang city in central java Indonesia has a strategic location as the capital of Central Java Province and developed into the fifth largest metropolitan city in Indonesia. The city of Semarang, which is traversed by the north coast route (pantura) is often flooded during the rainy season. This is because the intensity of rainfall is high and some areas in the city of Semarang are rob areas so that when there is a tide of sea water this area will be flooded. The combination of the Flood model and the weather prediction model will illustrate future conditions. The results showed that the prediction of flood distribution based on rainfall for a period of 10 years. With the flood model the period pattern of rainfall intensity values obtained is processed into a relationship graph between the duration of rain in minutes with the intensity of rain in the return period of 2 years, 5 years, 10 years and 25 years. The rainfall intensity value obtained will then be used to determine the peak discharge value

Agricultural by-products used as poultry feed in many developing countries. However, their use for poultry feed is limited due to high fiber and lack of nutritional substances (e.g., crude protein). The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity and chemical composition of the agriculture by-products after they are fermented with fungi Chrysonillia crassa. Materials were three kinds by-product e.i rice bran, tofu, and palm kernel. Five hundred grams of three kinds of sterilized, dried byproducts placed in a plastic bag then added with 250 ml of aquades (for tofu and rice bran byproducts) and 500 ml to palm kernel byproduct. Five dishes of culture isolates of Chrysonillia crassa with two days old were put and mixed thoroughly in the sterilized by-products and incubated for two days then were dried. All treatments were three replicated. The antioxidant activity and chemical composition were in vitro analyzed. Results showed that the antioxidant activity of tofu improved that is before and after fermentation was 12330.08±0.00 and 1466.96±10.70, respectively. The fermentation also improved protein content. The increased of the crude protein for palm kernel, rice bran and tofu before and after fermentation were 11.81±0.00 to 12.22±0.05; 9.35±0.00 to 10.57±0.09; 168±0.00 to 21.48±0.27, respectively. On the contrary fungal fermentation decreased the crude fibre of palm kernel and rice bran but not for tofu. The decreasing of crude fibre before and after fermentation of palm kernel and rice bran were 31.54±0.00to 27.04±2.60 and 29.67±0.00 to 27.01±0.18, respectively. The fat content of the by-product increased only for rice bran that is 7.45±0.00 to 11.39±1.86, for tofu decreased, and palm kernel was not affected. In conclusion, it was fungal fermentation. Palm kernel, rice bran, and tofu using Chrysonillia crassa increased in fat, crude protein, and decreased crude fibre, however for antioxidant activity was variation in results.

Subsurface mapping using the geoelectric method has been carried out in the area of Undip Campus, Tembalang to determine the distribution of subsurface layers resistivity. This study employs the Wenner configuration geoelectric method. Data were collected at seven points with a track length of 100 meters and a distance among electrodes of 5 meters. Data processing is carried out using RES2DINV software packages that produce rock resistivity values and depth estimates, then the interpretation of each track is carried out in detail by taking into account the geological information available in the Undip campus, Tembalang. The results of the interpretation show that the study area is dominated by breccias which are Kaligetas formations. The breccia rocks themselves are claystone which tends to be water-resistant and there is also sandstone. Nearly every data collection point has the same cross-section. Claystone with resistivity ranges from 3.05 Ωm to 26.5 Ωm. Sandstones with resistivity range from 20.0 Ωm to 135 Ωm. The rest found alluvium and sand with a resistivity of almost more than 100 μm.

Prediction of the growth of plant seedlings is one of the important problems in the world in order to fulfill the availability of food for all residents. At this time Greenhouse technology has been developed which is one of the technologies that support plant growth. Unfortunately, prediction technology is still done manually so the results are not accurate. This paper proposes the Neural Network Backpropagation method to evaluate the growth of plant seedlings in the greenhouse area. Data collected from the internet network system from temperature sensors, soil humidity, environmental humidity, light intensity and cameras to monitor growth. Seedling prediction is done by building a computer program using the neural network backpropagation algorithm based on time series that has input layer, hidden layer and output prediction architecture. Training data is used to carry out the training process before the program is used to perform predictions. Furthermore, the program is used to make predictions. The results of applying the neural network backpropagation algorithm to predict the growth of plant seedlings in the greenhouse get good results based on the first iteration Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.0112, with computing time 0.0193 seconds and data accuracy of 92.79%, which means that the prediction generated approximates actual data for the application of backpropagation neural network algorithms to the evaluation of plant seedling growth.
