Study of Optical Cloaking Lenses Design for Optimizing Large Vehicle Driver’s Visibility in Bandar Lampung
Get PDFNowadays, invisibility efforts by scientists and engineers have focused on building a large broadband, multidirectional cloaking device. The device is usually a cloak that works in macroscopic dimensions and for the entire visible spectrum. Addition with the full-field of light, no new materials, simple infrastructure, and scale easily may be considered an ‘ideal’ cloaking device. This paper report of implementing ray optics cloaking formalism presented previously by Choi and Howell [1] using lenses design for cloaking arbitrarily large, and moving objects such as large vehicle. We apply their formalism using simulation and experiment scheme to general optical systems up to four convex lenses. The results support the information to create optical cloaking prototype for optimizing large vehicle driver’s visibility as alternative solution for decreasing traffic accident in Bandar Lampung
Robust Control of a Quadcopter Flying via Sliding Mode
Get PDFSliding Mode Control (SMC) used to control the stability of a quadcopter from disturbances and uncertainties. This technique has two main advantages: the nonlinear dynamics and modelling errors of the quadcopter can be eliminated by switching function and the uncertainty problem can be overcome with a closed-loop response. The controller of the sliding mode technique consists of two components. The first is design equivalent control law to maintain the system state trajectory on the sliding surface. The second is design switching control law to reach the sliding surface. The Lyapunov theorem is used to ensure the stability of the system. Simulation results verify the robustness of the controller
Water Conservation with Rainwater Harvesting System in Lampung Province (Case Study in State Polytechnic of Lampung Campus Area)
Get PDFThe excessive quantity of groundwater utilization leads to significantly reduced groundwater availability. In another aspect of a tropical country, Indonesia has a reasonably high rainfall in the rainy season. The problem of this research is that the rainwater that has not been utilized and managed to maximize so that only becomes runoff. The community can utilize rainwater for the daily need. This paper presents methods and prototypes of rainwater harvesting and collection at the research locus. Methods of rainwater collection can be done with a rainwater harvesting system in the form of gutter mounted on the roof of the building as a tool to direct the flow of rainwater on the roof to the shelter. Rainfall compared to the roof area, will produce the volume of stored rainwater reservoir as a parameter. The novelty proposed in this study is the value and variable of water parameters in the case study of research implementation This case study was carried out in one of the buildings at Lampung State Polytechnic. The building has 96.72 m2 of roof area with daily average rainfall equal to 8.6 mm/day (January to May 2018 period). Hence rainwater potency which can be accommodated per day by society is equal to 0.582 m3/month with assumption only 70% water rain that collected because of water loss. In the rainy season, the volume of actual rainwater that can be collected as much as 0,831 m3/month by ignoring water loss due to evaporation. The quality of rainwater analyzed based on several parameters is pH 4.4, temperature 27,5 oC, turbidity 2.02 NTU, total dissolved solids 20.48 ppm, iron <0.110 ppm, calcium 3.36 mg/l, magnesium 0.233 mg/l, lead <0,021 ppm, hardness 3.69 mg/l, and total coliform 6,1 CFU/100 ml. Testing of the results of this study conducted by testing water quality standards compliance with the regulation of the Indonesia Health Minister number 32 of 2017. Test results show that rainwater can be directly utilized for sanitary hygiene purposes with the improvement of pH value
Preliminary Result: Identification of Landslides using Electrical Resistivity Tomography Case Study Mt. Betung
Get PDFInstitut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA), ITB and local governments had been cooperated in establishing an astronomy observatory of ITERA Lampung (OAIL), which was located at Mt. Betung in the Pasawaran area. Geological setting of this area showed that the dominant lithology of Mt. Betung is pyroclastic, andesite, and breccia rocks. These volcanic deposits have the potential to move the materials down-slope by the force of gravity, steep slope, and high water-content. We have investigated some area with the potential of a landslide along OAIL construction area, which may be the cause of the landslip as well. We applied electrical resistivity tomography to analyse the electrical properties of the subsurface soil and determine the vulnerable area of the landslide. The result indicated that the area is divided into high resistivity at the top of the soil and low resistivity below. These high resistivity numbers are caused by pyroclastic flow while the lower one is caused by fracture-filled, mostly with water and clay

Get PDFThis stuy aims to determine the operational parameters of submerged biofilter and to develop a model that can be used to estimate the elimination rate of pollutant using aerob and anaerob reactors. The experiment was conducted with draining the wastewater on a cylindrical biofilter column. The removals of wastewater were processed with hidraulic loading rate (HLR) variation of 0.44; 0.74; 1.11; 1.66; 2.21 m3/m2/day. Samplings were performed at the various height of column, i.e. 0.15; 0.3; 0.45; 0.6; 0.75 and 0.9 m. Then the effluent from each point was analyzed using UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The results showed that the optimum carbonaceous removal was obtained at column height of 90 cm. The operational parameters for scale-up application is 0.74 m3/m2/hour. While the removal percentage of carbon as a chemical oxigen demand (COD) parameter is 84.72%. The changes of HLR will give an effect on the substrate reduction rate (SRR), the microorganism’s growth rate, and the percentage of substrate removal. The model was developed based on efficiency factors can represent the concentration of COD effluent at the various of HLR and the height of column

Ekstraksi DNA total dari sumber jaringan hewan (Ikan Kerapu) menggunakan metode kit for animal tissue
Get PDFDNA extraction is a series of processes to separate DNA from other cell components. Extraction is the most crucial early stage in molecular research. There are two methods in DNA extraction: traditional organic extraction and non-organic adoption extraction method. Traditional organic extraction method are used by many laboratories to obtain amount of high-yield DNA. However, in recent years it has been a tendency to adopt non-organic commercial protocols, known as extraction kit. This method was relatively faster, low times-consuming and avoid the toxicity due to phenol use. This study aims to determine the steps of DNA extraction to obtain total DNA from muscle tissue of fish grouper using Extraction Kit for Animal Tissue. The Kit extraction method has an advantages that is the processing time is shorter, simple, non-toxic and high-purity DNA yields.
