Abstract

A human stress detector has been designed with the physiological parameters of stress. Stress is a common respond to the demands of the body. There is a necessity for self adjustment, thus it causes disturbance in body’s equilibrium. Nowadays, stress is not only experienced by the elders, but also young people. Stress also affects the condition of the body. When someone is stressed, the body will hold integrated reactions against the stressors. These reactions include the increasing heart rate, fast breathing, and cold sweating. The detector works on the condition of the body by using a GSR sensor to determine the conductivity of the skin, HIR333 to detect changes in heart and body temperature DS18B20, which then compared with the specified parameters.

Abstract

Sulphur-doped TiO2 samples were prepared by sol gel method using thiourea as sulphur source. The amount of thiourea solutions are 0; 0.5; 1.0; 1.5 and 2 ml, respectively. Sulphur-doped TiO2 was calcinated at 450°C. Sulphur-doped TiO2 and pure TiO2 were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Photo catalyst tests were carried out under sunlight and UV lamp. Based on XRD characterization, the samples are anatase phase. Furthermore, particle size was calculated using Scherrer equation and results of 8.94 and 12.98 nm, respectively for TBT-1.5 and TBT-0.5. TEM characterization showed that particle size of sulphur-doped TiO2 and pure TiO2 are 8.6 and 12.5 nm. Compared to TiO2 without doping, sulphur-doped TiO2 has a better photo catalyst activity for degradation of remazol golden yellow under visible light.

Abstract

Xylanase is a type of enzyme that has an important role in the industrial field. One measure that can be done to improve the thermostability of an enzyme is by protein engineering. The mutation of the protein can be done by studying protein structures through molecular dynamics simulation approach. In this research, thermal stability analysis on Aspergilus niger Wild Type Xylase (AnX) was performed which aims to study the thermal stability characteristics of xynalase enzyme from Aspergillus niger through molecular dynamics simulation approach. AnX molecular dynamics simulation was performed by NAMD (Not Just Another Molecular Dynamic) software at 300 – 500 K. The research was focused on the study of enzyme thermal stability characteristics in order to get the information of residues accountable for such characteristics. The selection of residues to be mutated was based on hydrophocic interaction analysis. Then from that, the design of xylanase enzyme mutant with better thermostability than wild type xynalase enzyme was made in order to provide design reference for more stable xylanase mutation design which can be implemented in wet experiments for of Aspergillus niger Xylanase enzyme genetic engineering. The enzyme was unfolded at 500 K at 9.5 ns. The residues responsible of the thermal stability were based on hydrophobic interaction analysis in Alanin at residue 60. This residue is located in segmen/chain 3. The best mutant is Alanin 60 residue mutant which is replaced by Methionin and ∆∆Gsolv of -21.10345 was obtained. Thus, Ala60Met is the most stable mutant which might increase the thermal stability of Aspergillus niger Xylanase Enzyme.

Abstract

Polymer composite roof tiles are produced from palm oil boiler ash and used rubber thread fibers waste. The material was strengthened by asphalt through a molding and pressurized conventional technique of sand, palm oil boiler ash waste, rubber thread fibers waste, asphalt and epoxy resin mixture. The composition of boiler ash and rubber thread fibers varied of 20% : 0%, 18% : 2%, 16% : 4%, 14% : 6%, 12% : 8%, 10% : 10%. The results were tested for physical (density and water absorption), mechanical (compressive, impact and tensile strength) and thermal (Differential Thermal Analysis) properties. The characterization shows that the optimum mixture of sand, ash, thread, asphalt and resin compositions are 55% : 12% : 8% : 10% : 15% respectively, with the highest density of 1.64 gram/cm3, waster absorption value of 1.72%, 77.68 kJ/m2 impact value, 19.373 MPa tensile strength and 360°C for differential thermal analysis temperature. Those results meet the SNI standard for existing roof tiles. This shows that the materials used in the research can be a cheap and environmentally friendly alternative to roof tile raw materials.

Abstract

Strength Activity Index (SAI) is a method that aims to see the quality of additional materials mixed into the cement. The additional materials examined in this study were pozzolan from Lubuk Alung, pozzolan from Sicincin, and silica sand from Payakumbuh. This study refers to the ASTM C595/C595M-12 standard. The process started with placing specimens and mold (on a base plate) in a humid room or closet and protecting the surface from water droplets. After the mold was removed from the humid room or closet, the cubes were removed from the mold. The cubes were placed in suitable metal or glass containers, and the containers were sealed and stored at a temperature of 38.0±2.00C for 27 days. The specimens were cooled to 23.0±2.00C before the tests were carried out. The compressive strength results of pozzolan from Lubuk Alung, pozzolan from Sicincin, and silica sand from Payakumbuh were 327 kg⁄cm2, 296 kg⁄cm2 and 199 kg⁄cm2 respectively. Thus, the specimens which fulfilled the SAI requirement according to ASTM C-618 were pozzolan from Lubuk Alung and pozzolan from Sicincin with 91.34% and 82.68%, respectively. In contrast, silica sand from Payakumbuh did not fulfill the requirement of ASTM C-618 at a minimum of 75% because the result obtained was only 55.58%.
