To address this issue, one-dimensional unsteady state finite difference method was applied in this study. Result of this study informed that the finite difference method can be used to solve the bioheat transfer equation and to estimate temperature distribution of different skin layers of female human. In this study, blood perfusion affects temperature distribution in the four layers of unstable women's skin. The highest blood perfusion of 3 kg/s.m3 resulted in more homogeny temperature distribution of different skin layers.

Bali is an island with the longest distance from one of its districts to Denpasar city is 95,6 km. This distance is reachable by the common electrical vehicle that available in the market now. The usage of the electrical vehicle requires good development and planning, otherwise it will cause problem for the electrical systems. The consumption of electrical energy will increase. In 2019, Bali used 5,908 GWh electricity in a year. And if all the 2 wheels and 4-wheels vehicles now are electrical vehicle, it will require extra 2,823 GWh per year. It will impact the planning of power generation in Bali.Another challenge for the electrical systems is the duck curve problem. The habit of the user charges their vehicle will also impact the daily load curve of an electrical systems. If all the two wheels and four wheels vehicles now are electrical vehicle, and all users conduct the charging at the same time in 4 hours duration, the load will increase about 1,934 GW. The practical and applicable solution is the independent power producer concept by the solar PV.

An implant material's corrosion resistance impacts its flexibility and longevity. This corrosion resistance is also an important consideration for biocompatibility. This biomaterial contains stainless steel whcih may corrode after being installed in the human body since the passivity of stainless steel disappears when it is exposed to acids in the human body for a long duration. In addition, lacks of oxygen inhibits the formation of a new Cr2O3 layer for corrosion protection. Based on this phenomenon, an advance treatment is required to improve the resistance corrosion of implant. This study investigates the effect of the concentration and duration of chitosan on the thickness and corrosion resistance of biomaterials. The concentration of chitosan used was 0.08%, 0.16%, and 0.24% while the voltage used was constant at 10 V. The test results demonstrated the lowest corrosion rate occrured for 0.24 % chitosan concentration with 30 minutes coating duration. The lowest corrosion rate achieved was 0.014 mmpy and the maximum thickness was 75.4 μm.

Avoiding collision and deadlock situations, traffic management is required. To prevent physical collisions and obstacles in the path, sensors must be installed AGV.

Wulung bamboo fibers (Gigantichloa Atroviolacea) have the potential to be used as reinforced in composites because they have high strength and are widely grown in Indonesia. In this study, bamboo wulung fiber reinforcement was used without treatment and with variations, soaking time 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes in 6% NaOH solution with a temperature of 60-70 ℃. The composite manufacturing method used was vacuum assisted resin infusion and the standard composite specimen used as a tensile test was ASTM D638-01. The results showed that the longer the immersion time resulted in a rougher topography of the fiber surface which caused the composite tensile strength to increase due to the better mechanical interlocking between the fibers and the epoxy resin matrix. The wettability results on the fibers also show that the wetness between the fibers and the epoxy resin matrix is getting better, which is shown from the droplet contact angle on the resulting fibers. The highest composite tensile strength was obtained at 90 minutes immersion time of 169.765 MPa followed by immersion time of 60 minutes of 123.2 MPa, immersion time of 5 minutes of 81.7 MPa and without treatment of 71.6 MPa.
