Determination of Priority Regions as The Direction of Decision-Making for Land Development of West Kalimantan Province
Get PDFIndonesia is an archipelago country consisting of large and small islands with a large number of approximately 17,508. Some of the islands are among the border to neighboring countries. One of the islands is a border area of land that is found on the island of Borneo, especially West Kalimantan Province. West Kalimantan province is directly adjacent to Malaysia. The identic character of the Indonesian border area is largely a lagging region. Determination of priority areas is certainly needed as an effective way of developing these border areas. The objectives of the research include (1) identification of the distribution of lagging priority areas in West Kalimantan Province, (2) give recommendations related to development of lagging priority areas. Overlays of lagging region parameters and economic productivity are used to determine priority areas. The result of identification is known that Bengkayang Regency, Kayong Utara, and Melawi are the lagging priority areas. Recommendation given to the lagging priority regions are through regional development model and also based on determination of base sector
Review : Bathymetry Mapping Using Underwater Acoustic Technology
Get PDFThe bathymetry mapping using underwater acoustic technology very important in Indonesia waters. Bathymetry is the result of measuring the height of the seabed so that the bathymetric map provides information about the seabed, where this information can provide benefits to several fields related to the seabed. In bathymetry mapping uses underwater acoustic technology where among them is using Single beam echosounder and MBES (Multibeam Echosounder System), and multibeam echosounder (MBES) is acoustic equipment that is intensively used frequently in basic waters mapping. The advantage of using underwater acoustic technology is the acquisition and processing of data in real time, high accuracy and precision (correction of the bathymetry data was carried out with reference to the 2008 International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), and cannot be a threat or damage to objects. Retrieval of bathymetry data must use parallel patterns, namely: patterns with perpendicular sounding directions and tend to be parallel to longitudinal lines or in accordance with parallel sounding patterns
Analysis of Land Cover Changing and Vegetation Index at Kuranji Watershed in Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia
No full textVarious activities around Kuranji watershed included the land conversioncan be impacted to topographic condition and also contributed to altering the vegetation density. Remote sensing technology is an effective methodfor land cover mapping. The objectives of the present study were to analyze the changing of land cover and classifying the vegetation density index in the upstream Kuranji Watershed. This study was conducted at Kuranji Watershed in Padang, West Sumatera Province. Two Landsat images representing the changing of the watershed area during 2017 and 2018 as well as obtaining the classification of vegetation density during corresponding years.Landsat 8 OLI images were classified using a supervised classification technique, then computed the vegetation index using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The result showed that the extension of forest area, settlement area and paddy field (283.92; 35.06; and 27 Ha, respectively) and decline of mix dryland agriculture, shrub and garden area (93.68; 277.43; and 190.95 Ha respectively). Decreasing of dense vegetation found at lower dense class (6.47 Ha) and highest dense class (5535.35 Ha). Therefore, the increasing area found at the cloud, dense and higher dense class (93.17; 5525.1; and 109.94 Ha, respectively). So, it is highlighted that changing land cover and vegetation index happen during the only one-year period
New observations of Tin Mineralization Potential Vis-à-Vis Ore Petrographic, Alteration and Geochemistry in the Southeastern part of Bastar Craton, Central India
Get PDFThe Tin mineralizations occur around the Katekalyan area, hosted in the acid magmatic rocks. The evolution differentiating granitic magma shows residual melt enrichment where end products intruded as pegmatites into the rocks. The different kind of pegmatite occur as simple unzoned, recrystallized (granitic pegmatite), and metasomatic greisenised and albitised pegmatites which emplaced within the pre-existing rocks of metabasic intrusive, granite (KG), granite gneiss (KGG). Sometimes it also found in metasediments as mineralised and non-mineralised characters along the fractures and foliation planes trending N-S, E-W and more frequently are observed NNW-SSE trends. Cassiterite is most important Tin-ore mineral and associated with pegmatites. Some cassiterite samples exhibit colourless to brown shades zoning which indicate multi stage growth. The cassiterite samples contain significant amounts of Sn, Nb, Ta with minor W.
The partial melting model shows that the variation 5 to 50% partial melting of bulk continental crust for KG as well as KGG rocks but bulk distribution coefficient for Sr (DSr) shows low i.e. <<10. The upper limit of partial melting of bulk crust estimates ~50 % for KG and KGG rocks are consistent with required rheological, critical melt percentage to leave the source region has decreased granite melt which were capable to mineralised tin ore elements. It is interesting to note that the SnF4 and SnCl4 probably not stable in presence of water under geologically reasonable conditions
Hydrogeochemical and Groundwater Assessment for Drinking Purpose at ITERA Campus Area and Its Surroundings
Get PDFGroundwater research for drinking purpose was very important to be done at ITERA campus and its surroundings. It is caused the area is very close to social activities, especially for students. The hydrogeochemical analysis was done with integrating Piper diagram plotting result, X-Y plotting result for some cations and anions, and Gibbs diagram plotting result. Groundwater assessment for drinking purpose referred to Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia No. 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010. There were 14 samples that were taken from nine dig wells and five drill wells. The groundwater facieses were dominated by Facies Na-HCO3-Cl (35,71%) followed by Facies Na-Cl (21,43%), Facies Na-HCO3 (21,43%), Facies Na-SO4-Cl (14,29%), dan Facies Ca-Mg-HCO3 (7,14%). Generally, Groundwater hydrogeochemical of research area shows that groundwater chemistries are controlled by minerals weathering, evaporation, and precipitation. There are eight wells that not proper for drinking and six wells that proper for drinking. Integration lab result, stratigraphic analysis, and depth aquifer show that groundwater that proper for drinking comes from confined aquifer while that not proper for drinking comes from unconfined aquife
Assessment of Geothermal Potentials In Some Parts of Upper Benue Trough Northeast Nigeria Using Aeromagnetic Data
Get PDFThe assessment of geothermal potentials over part of the upper Benue trough corresponding to Kaltungo, Guyok, Lau and Dong areas, North Eastern Nigeria using spectral depth analysis of aeromagnetic data has been carried out. The study area is bounded by latitudes 9o00’N and 10o00’N and longitudes 11o00’E and 12o00’E. This research work is necessitated by the need for renewable and alternative sources of energy for use in Nigeria. Regional/residual separation was carried out on the total magnetic field using polynomial fitting method of order one. The residual map was divided into nine overlapping blocks for the spectral analysis. The centroid depths and depth to top of basement were obtained from the plot of log of power spectrum against wavenumber. These two parameters were used to estimate the Curie point depth using , where and are Curie depth, centroid depth and depth to top of basement respectively. The results from the spectral analysis suggested that in the parts of the Upper Benue trough, the basement is deepest at the south western portion towards the Lau area and varies between 0.55 and 3.8 km, while the centroid depth varies from 7.26 to 18.00 km. From the same portion of the trough, the Curie-point depths vary between 12.43 and 33.91 km and the corresponding geothermal gradient and heat flow values varying from 17.10 to 46.66 0C/km with an average of 30.75 0C/km and 42.75 to 116.65 mW/m2 with an average of 75.91 mW/m2 respectively. The maximum heat flow is found around the south western portion of the study area (Lau). The entire study area with high heat flow values might probably be good sources for geothermal and thereby recommended for both geothermal exploration and exploitation

The Benefits of Adding Corn Stalk Ash as a Substitution of Some Cement Against of Compressive Strength Concrete
No full textConcrete is a very important building material used in the world of construction services, and it is generally known that the good and bad properties of concrete can be seen from its compressive strength. Concrete consists of Portland Cement (PC) or other hydraulic cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, and water, with or without using additional materials. Cement is one of the main mixtures of concrete constituents composed of natural resources such as lime (CaO), Silica (SiO₃), alumina (Al2O₃), little magnesia (MgO), and alkali. Silica is also found in corn. according to (Roesmarkam and Yuwono, 2002) corn plants have a Silica content of 20.6%. This study aims to determine the effect of utilization of corn stalk ash on compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete. Cornstalk ash is used as a partial substitute for cement, with a mixture composition of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%.
This study uses SNI 03-2834-2000 for mix design, with the added ingredient of 0.25% sikament NN. Cylindrical test specimen size (150 mm x 300 mm), the specimen was treated and tested at 28 days. Based on research using corn stalk ash 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%. either without or using sikament NN the highest compressive strength at 8% is 20.8 Mpa and 20.4 Mpa, and decrease in usage of 10% corn stalk ash which is 18.2 Mpa and 18, 4 Mpa. The highest elastic modulus without or with sikament NN present in 8% ie 21656.14 Mpa and 21607.52 MPa. Modulus of Elasticity value decreased in the use of corn stalks 10% ash is 20366.28 Mpa and 20569.59 MPa. Based on the research, corn stalk ash can replace the role of part of cement in construction using corn stalk ash 8%
An Analysis of the Accuracy of Time Domain 3D Image Geology Model Resulted from PSTM and Depth Domain 3D Image Geology Model Resulted from PSDM in Oil and Gas Exploration
Get PDFThis study aims to obtain a geological model which is close to the truth and compare accuracy between the time domain 3D image of the PSTM results with the depth domain 3D image of PSDM results. There are 3 parameters to determine the accuracy of an interval velocity model in the production of a geology model: depth gathering that is already flat, semblance that has concurred with zero residual move-out axes, and depth image which conforms to the marker (well seismic tie). The analytical method employed is Horizon Based Tomography, which is a method to correct the seismic wave travel time error along the analyzed horizon. Reducing errors in the travel time of the seismic wave will decrease depth errors. This improvement is expected to provide correct information about subsurface geological conditions. The results showed that the depth domain image generated by the PSDM process represents the actual geological model better than time domain image produced by the PSTM process, evidenced by the sharpening of the reflector continuity, reduction of pull-up effect, and high resolution
