Cooling processat -5◦C for 1 hour, as well as heating at 75◦C, 80◦C, and 85◦C maintained for 3 hours, 2 hours and 1 hour, respectively. The Fe (III)-IIPs synthesis process involved Fe(NO3)3 with an average diameter of 18.23 nm, methacrylic acid (MAA), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and ethanol, each of which plays a role as an analyte, functional monomer, cross-linker, initiator, and porogen. The result of the polymerization process was a polymer containing ions namely Fe(III) polymer. The ions need to be removed by the extraction process to produce Fe(III)-IIPs, which act as absorbents. Furthermore, the extraction process is very influential in the process of losing ions and the formation of cavities or templates in the polymer body. The number of cavities formed tends to affect the ability of Fe(III)-IIPs to identify the target ion which has similar physical and chemical properties to the shape of the Fe(III)-IIPs cavity. The extraction process was carried out on Fe(III) polymer samples using HCl and HNO3 solutions with varying concentrations of 3 M and 6 M, respectively. The transmission percentage of FTIR analysis showed that for samples of Fe(III)-IIPs HCl 3 M and 6 M were 94.258% and 95.666%, while for Fe(III)-IIPs HNO3 3 M and 6 M were 92.735%, respectively. The largest percentage was shown in the 6 M HCl IIPs sample, which indicated that there were several ions lost from the polymer body after the extraction process. This is also reinforced by the results of the SEM analysis processed with Matlab, which showed 498 cavities with a distribution of voids on a scale of <100 nm, totaling 470.","PeriodicalId":21644,"journal":{"name":"Science and Technology Indonesia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44154783","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}

This study aimed to determine the quality of liquid smoke after purification by knowing the volume, density, pH, viscosity, yield, and phenol content using rubberwood as raw material and the pyrolysis method. The pyrolysis process is purified by distillation based on differences in boiling points. This research is divided into two stages of distillation, namely low grade purified liquid smoke and high grade purified liquid smoke.

Sulfasalazine, discovered in 1938 for therapeutic use, was the first mesalazine derivative. High yields of four different mesalazine derivatives were synthesized, including two Schiff bases and two azo compounds. The present study involved the synthesis of Schiff bases through the reaction of mesalazine with pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde or indole-2-carbaldehyde, resulting in the formation of 5-(((1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene)amino)-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (1) or 5-(((1H-indol-2-yl)methylene)amino)-2hydroxybenzoic acid (2), respectively. The synthesis of azo compounds involved the coupling of mesalazine with sulfamethoxazole or pyridoxine, resulting in the formation of 5-amino-2-hydroxy-3-((4-(N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)sulfamoyl)phenyl)diazenyl)benzoic acid (3) or 2-hydroxy-5-((5-hydroxy-3,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)-6-methylpyridin-2-yl)diazenyl)benzoic acid (4), respectively. The identification of the synthesized compounds was carried out using IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Antibacterial assessment of the synthetic compounds was performed in vitro against gram-negative bacteria (such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). The antibacterial activity studies demonstrated that against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, the Schiff base compounds are more active than azo compounds. Compound 1 showed the highest activity, resulting in a 23 mm inhibition zone against E. coli at 1000 ug/ml. In contrast, the antibacterial activity of compound 2 was observed to be 25 mm against S. aureus at the same highest concentration.","PeriodicalId":21644,"journal":{"name":"Science and Technology Indonesia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46306307","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}

The novel aspect of this work is that the homogeneous alumina thin films were prepared in several stages to generate a plasma jet. In this paper, aluminium nanoparticles suspended in vinyl alcohol were prepared using exploding wire plasma. TEM analysis was used to determine the size and shape of particles in aluminium and vinyl alcohol suspensions; the TEM images showed that the particle size is 17.2 nm. Aluminium/poly vinyl alcohol (Al/PVA) thin films were prepared using this suspension on quartz substrate by plasma jet technique at room temperature with an argon gas flow rate of 1 L/min. The Al/PVA thin films were thermally converted to alumina films, where they were annealed at different temperatures (700, 800, or 900°C). X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques were used to characterise these thin films before and after annealing process. The diffraction patterns of the prepared thin films before subjecting them to the annealing process indicated the presence of peaks belonging to aluminium and PVA; however, the diffraction patterns and FTIR spectra obtained for these films after the annealing process showed peaks indicating the formation of alumina films of different phases. AFM and SEM investigations proved that the formed particles for all prepared films before and after the annealing process were similar in size and almost spherical; the diameter of the particles was on the order of a few nanometres. To control the properties of prepared thin films, the plasma which was used to produce thin films is diagnosed spectrophotometrically. The generated plasma was diagnosed using optical emission spectroscopy to estimate the electron temperature Te; the electron temperature was 1.925 eV.","PeriodicalId":21644,"journal":{"name":"Science and Technology Indonesia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49114970","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}

The indices used include Consecutive Dry Day (CDD and the total rainfall per year (PRCPTOT). Theses indices were calculated and are based on the daily observation data from eight quality-controlled weather stations. While overall trends in extreme rainfall indices are not significant, there is a noticeable trend towards drought, with CDD rising by 1.23 days per decade and PRCPTOT decreased by 3.16 mm/year. The correlation between the Dipole Mode Index (DMI) and extreme rainfall indices in the August-September-October-November (ASON) period was positive, with CDD increasing with the more positive DMI value. On the other hand, the PRCPTOT index showed a decrease as the DMI more positive. The ENSO index and CDD are positively correlated during the dry season, while ENSO index negatively correlates with PRCPTOT. The duration of CDD during El Niño/positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events in 1997, 2015, and 2019 had significant impact on the forest and land fires on the Eastern Coast of Sumatra.

Previous studies on ENSO’s impact on temperature lacked detailed spatial information due to limited meteorological stations and cost constraints. This study utilizes remote sensing techniques, employing Landsat satellite data and Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) data, to analyze the spatial pattern of extreme land surface temperature distribution during ENSO events. Preprocessing includes radiometric and atmospheric corrections before converting digital numbers to land surface temperature values. Results indicate increased hotspot areas (>30°C) during El Niño events, with respective hotspot areas of 89.32 km² and 97.8 km² in 2015 and 2016, and 61.23 km² and 59.73 km² during La Niña in August and October 2018. Heat concentration areas remained consistent during the 1998 El Niño (89.32 km²) and the 2011 La Niña (55.82 km²). These findings highlight ENSO’s influence on altering hotspot distribution patterns. The increased hotspot area during El Niño events (34-36 km²) led to a 20-30% surge in electricity consumption as residents and offices in Kuching City, Sarawak, sought temperature regulation. This spatial information aids the government in identifying affected areas and implementing suitable measures to mitigate the impact of El Niño events.","PeriodicalId":21644,"journal":{"name":"Science and Technology Indonesia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68995031","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}

In the first stage, bismuth silicate/silica (Bi4Si3O12/SiO2) was formed, which occurs due to the in-situ decomposition of palm leaves and reacts directly with the bismuth precursor at high temperatures (900oC). The reaction could possibly occur through a solid-state reaction mechanism between bismuth oxide and silica or through a more complex mechanism within the reaction mixture. The resulting product then reacts with TTIP, which is added and heated at the same temperature to form Bi4Si3O12/SiO2-TiO2 (bismuth silicate/silica-titania). Characterization of the as-prepared product using X-ray diffraction showed the dominance of bismuth silicate and small amount of titania (TiO2). As a result, TiO2 could not be detected in the diffractogram. Nevertheless, an analysis using energy-dispersive X-rays showed the presence of titanium elements in the resulting composite.
