One of the Indonesian waters that experienced bleaching was Weh Island area, which then underwent bleaching again in 2016 and had impacts on the coral ecosystem. Substrate changes and coral cover conditions are noteworthy to determine the potential for coral recovery after bleaching. Therefore, the study aims to measure the condition of coral cover and the potential for coral resilience after bleaching in 2016. Benthic data collection used the Point Intercept Transect method while measuring coral resilience potential used the resilience index through coral cover indicators, fleshy seaweed, and rubble. The observation showed that the coral cover in the waters of Ujong Seuke was 34%, fleshy seaweed by 2.83%, and rubble by 21.17%. This research concludes that the condition of coral reef ecosystems after the bleaching phenomenon in 2016 was in moderate condition, and it has a high potential for resilience. \u0000Keywords: coral, bleaching, water, ujong seuke, east coast, Weh Island","PeriodicalId":17898,"journal":{"name":"KnE Life Sciences","volume":"24 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140375498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These studies were undertaken to determine the optical absorbance properties of the ABX3 perovskite as a potential for optoelectronic applications. The calculation was initiated by finding the optimization of pseudopotential and k_point, and pseudopotential GGA-PBE and k_point 8 x 8 x 8 are used as parameters to calculate absorbance optical properties. The absorbance calculation results are at a wavelength of 305.59 nm with a bandgap of 1.7608 eV for CsPbBr3, 380.78 nm with a bandgap of 2.27 eV for CsPbCl3, 301.86 nm with a bandgap of 1.35 eV for CsPbI3, 225.04 nm with a bandgap of 1.72 eV for LiPbBr3, 201.25 nm with a bandgap of 1.55 eV for LiPbCl3, and 211.58 nm with a bandgap of 1.24 eV for LiPbI3.

We suggest the C-Function as a novel probe that is accurate for detecting the location of critical points on topological quantum. The C-function uses a holographic model to show a topological quantum phase transition between a simple topological isolation phase and a gapless Weyl semimetal. The quantum tipping point displays a strong Lifshitz-like anisotropy in the spatial direction, and a quantum phase transition that does not follow the standard Landau paradigm. The C-function precisely shows the global features of quantum criticality and distinguishes very accurately between two separate zero-temperature phases.
