Abstract

The increase of motor vehicle population in Indonesia causes the increase of pollution substances in ambient air, such as Particulate Matter with the diameter <2.5 µm or fine particle (PM2.5). There are many methods developed to reduce the PM2.5 concentrations emitted by motor vehicles, such as a biomass particulate filter. This study was aimed to develop biomass PM2.5 filters made of sawdust and wood glue with three different composition ratio: F1, F2, and F3. The PM2.5 concentrations before and after passing through the filters were measured using a Digital Dust Monitor (Kanomax, Model 3443) for 200 seconds of the sampling times. The filter efficiency was obtained from the reduction ratio of the PM2.5 concentrations before and after being filtered. Based on the surface morphology test using an electron microscope SEM, the diameters of the filter pores were 9.11 – 19.7 µm with the different densities. The efficiency was 33% to 52%, depending on the ratio of the sawdust and wood glue. A higher filter density (2.72 x 10-3 g/cm3) generated a higher filter efficiency (52%).

Abstract

Nowadays, many researchers are doing research in the field of degradable plastics with replacing synthetic polymers with natural synthetics for resulting the bioplastics. A natural raw that often used by the researcher is starch. For producing the bioplastic, the starch is mixed with plasticizers. The aims of this research are for observing the influences of the plasticizer to the tensile strength and elongation of bioplastic that made from the starch of Cilembu sweet potato. The plasticizers that used in this research are glycerol, sorbitol, and egg white. The bioplastics are produced in four stages, such as starch producing, heating and adding of the plasticizers, casting, and measuring the tensile strength and elongation. In the producing process of starch, firstly, the potato was destroyed, then it was blended with fresh water, after that it was settled down, followed by filtering and drying. The next stage was heating and adding of the plasticizers. The process of glycerol and sorbitol adding did at 45 oC while the heating process performed until gelatinization temperature was reached. However, while using egg white as a plasticizer, the process was started at 50 oC. After that, the casting stage was done, followed by the last stage, the testing of bioplastic samples. The results of the experiment show that the variation of the plasticizer affects the tensile strength and elongation of the bioplastic. The addition of plasticizer as many as 2,8% reduces the tensile strength of the bioplastic by 90% for glycerol and 75% for sorbitol. Whereas with the addition of the egg white, the tensile strength of the bioplastic is increased to 49%. For elongation property of the bioplastic, both glycerol and sorbitol as many as 2,8% will decrease the elongation value 32,8% and 16,1% respectively. However, the elongation values of the bioplastic fluctuated for the white egg plasticizer.

Abstract

The analysis of the feature’s uniqueness of the electroencephalograph (EEG) signal extracted by continuous wavelet transform (CWT) method against the five BCI wheelchair control indicators has been done. The usage of Friedman method as measuring the uniqueness level of EEG signal features as well as their significance is used in this research. The EEG signals from three subjects that sitting on a regular chair were recorded when they were performing mental commands as seem as controlling a wheelchair with five control indicators. The recorded signals are decomposed by CWT. The absolute mean (|µ|) and the deviation standard (σ) of the CWT decomposition results are used as feature. Then, the uniqueness of |µ| and σ features are analyzed using Friedman Method. Based on the experiment results, it is known that the proposed method is able to map features according to their uniqueness level. The experiment result shows that the highest uniqueness value of |µ| feature from three subjects are 400 (“forward – backward” indicators), 437 (“neutral – turn left” indicators), and 597 (“neutral – turn left” indicators) respectively. While the highest uniqueness value of σ feature from each subjects are 380, 419, and 568 respectively in the same indicator pairs as |µ| feature.

Abstract

One of the factors that influence the composition of honey is the plant that became the source of nectar. Honey derived from one plant species has a different composition with honey from other plant species. This study aims to analyze the effect of the origin of honey flower on the value of electrical impedance by using impedance spectroscopy and to analyze the relationship between ash content and electrical impedance in honey. This study used four gold needle electrodes and a set of PicoScope 5244B tools to measure the value of honey impedance. Measurements are made by injecting a current of 10 μA and using frequencies 1 Hz to 2 MHz. This study also measured ash content in honey. The sample used is kelengkeng, kaliandra, randu, coffee, and rubber honey. The results showed that the origin of honey flower affects the value of electrical impedance. The relationship between impedance and ash content is the smaller the ash content in honey the impedance value is greater.

Abstract

Thin film technology is a green technology in order to decrease industrial waste. The need of thin film cleaner in recoating process is a must. Build up of a plasma reactor using oxygen gas and generate with 2.45GHz microwave was studied. The main objective of this research was to determine alternative plasma generation using high frequency microwave 2.45GHz as a thin film cleaning media on thin film technology. The results show that plasma could generate with maximum pressure at 3cmHg or 30 Torr and it could decrease carbon on surface of steel K110.
