Identifikasi Batuan Reservoir Panas Bumi di Daerah Tambang Sawah, Lebong Provinsi Bengkulu Menggunakan Data Gravitasi Satelit GGMPlus dengan Inversi 2D
The Tambang Sawah geothermal field located in Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province, is one of the geothermal energy potentials in Indonesia. The area is associated with tectonic activity in the bukit barisan mountain range which is indicated by the appearance of hot springs and fumaroles. This research uses Global Gravity Model (GGM) gravity data, in the form of Free Air Anomaly (FAA) data with a resolution of 220 metres and shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM2Gravity) as contemporary terrain correction data in the form of full scale gravity data. The FAA data was then subtracted from the full scale gravity data to obtain the complete Bouger anomaly (CBA). The CBA was subjected to spectrum analysis to determine the depth estimate and then separated to obtain regional and residual anomalies using the moving average method. There are three distribution patterns of anomaly distribution, namely low, medium and high. The results showed that on the CBA map, areas with moderate anomalies were thought to have geothermal reservoirs with densities < 2.53 g/cm3 different depths.Daerah tambang sawah terletak di Kabupaten Lebong Provinsi Bengkulu merupakan salah satu daerah dengan potensi energi panas bumi yang ada di Indonesia.

Modifikasi Struktur Akseptor Zat Warna Tipe D-π-A Berbasis Ditiofen sebagai Sensitizer pada Sel Surya
This study aims to evaluate the effect of variations in the acceptor group of dithiophen-based type D-π-A dyes that are efficiently used as sensitizers in DSSC. The calculation uses the 16W Gaussian program with Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time Dependent-DFT (TD-DFT) methods with the B3LYP/6-31G set base. Based on the results of the study, it is known that acceptor variations can affect the shift in absorption spectrum and bandgap values. The dye AT5 is predicted to have higher efficiency to be used as a sensitizer, because it has the smallest bandgap value and has a dipole moment value, as well as a larger wavelength. The smaller the bandgap value, the absorbedyu light will shift towards the red shift, and the electron excitation process will be easier. It can be concluded that dyes with cyanide formal acceptors can improve the efficiency of D-π-A type dyes as sensitizers in DSSC.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevalusi pengaruh variasi gugus akseptor zat warna tipe D-π-A berbasis ditiofen yang efisien digunakan sebagai sensitizer pada DSSC. Perhitungan menggunakan program Gaussian 16W dengan metode Density Functional Theory (DFT) dan Time Dependent-DFT (TD-DFT) dengan basis set B3LYP/6-31G. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa variasi akseptor dapat mempengaruhi pergeseran spektrum serapan dan nilai bandgap. Zat warna AT5 diprediksi memiliki efisiensi yang lebih tinggi untuk dijadikan sebagai sensitizer, karena memiliki nilai bandgap paling kecil dan memiliki nilai momen dipol, serta panjang gelombang yang lebih besar. Semakian kecil nilai bandgap maka cahaya yang diserap akan bergeser ke arah red shift, dan proses eksitasi elektron akan semakin mudah. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa zat warna dengan akseptor formil sianida dapat meningkatkan efesiensi zat warna tipe D-π-A sebagai sensitizer pada DSSC

Implementasi Seismik Refraksi Metode Hagiwara untuk Pendeteksian Bidang Gelincir di Sempadan Sungai Daerah Perumahan Sungai Bangek
The rapid development in the riparian zone of the Bangek River, Koto Tangah District, Padang City, has the potential to increase the risk of geological hazards such as landslides. This study aims to identify the subsurface structure and the presence of slip surfaces in the riverbank area that is being developed into a residential zone, using the Hagiwara method. Data acquisition was carried out along two survey lines, oriented perpendicular and parallel to the river, with offsets of 40 m and 30 m, respectively, employing four geophones and a 10 kg hammer as the seismic source. The interpretation results from the first survey line indicate that the subsurface consists of unsaturated sand and weathered layers, with evidence of a slip surface at a distance of 0–18 m and depths ranging from 0.7–4 m. This slip surface is located within a permeable layer with a low seismic velocity (368.955 m/s), overlain by an impermeable layer with a higher velocity (642.508 m/s). Meanwhile, the second survey line reveals a relatively homogeneous structure composed of weathered layers with varying densities. The Hagiwara interpretation identifies a slip surface along the second refractor, indicating potential slope instability within the first layer characterized by a low seismic velocity (449.165 m/s), suggesting weaker rock compaction. The information regarding the presence and depth of the slip surfaces identified in this study provides an important reference for development planning to mitigate the potential risk of landslides in the Bangek River riparian zone.Pembangunan yang pesat di wilayah sempadan Sungai Bangek, Kecamatan Koto Tangah, Kota Padang, berpotensi meningkatkan risiko bencana geologis seperti tanah longsor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi struktur bawah permukaan dan keberadaan bidang gelincir pada area sempadan sungai yang dikembangkan menjadi kawasan perumahan menggunakan metode Hagiwara. Akuisisi data dilakukan pada dua lintasan, tegak lurus dan sejajar terhadap sungai, dengan offset masing-masing 40 m dan 30 m, menggunakan 4 geophone, dan palu seberat 10 kg sebagai sumber getaran. Hasil interpretasi pada lintasan pertama menunjukkan lapisan bawah permukaan terdiri dari pasir tak tersaturasi dan lapisan lapuk dengan indikasi bidang gelincir bidang gelincir pada jarak 0–18 m dengan kedalaman 0,7–4 m. Bidang gelincir ini terletak pada lapisan permeable berkecepatan rendah (368,955 m/s) di bawah lapisan impermeable berkecepatan tinggi (642,508 m/s). Lintasan kedua menunjukkan struktur cenderung homogen berupa lapisan lapuk dengan kerapatan yang berbeda. Interpretasi Hagiwara mengidentifikasi bidang gelincir di sepanjang refraktor lapisan kedua dengan potensi ketidakstabilan lereng pada lapisan pertama dengan kecepatan seismik rendah (449,165 m/s) yang menunjukkan tingkat kekompakan batuan yang lebih lemah. Informasi mengenai keberadaan dan kedalaman bidang gelincir yang berhasil diidentifikasi dapat menjadi acuan penting dalam perencanaan pembangunan untuk mengurangi potensi risiko longsor di wilayah sempadan Sungai Bangek
Biostimulant effect of a novel seawater-adapted strain of Scenedesmus almeriensis on garden geranium
Microalgae production requires substantial water resources. For this reason, different strategies are being investigated such as cultivating microalgae using wastewater or seawater. The goal of this study was to demonstrate the biostimulant effect of Scenedesmus almeriensis produced using both freshwater and seawater. This is the first time that the biostimulant capacity of seawater-produced Scenedesmus almeriensis has been investigated. The biostimulant capacity of the biomass was assessed in vitro using different bioassays and validated in vivo using Pelargonium × hortorum, commonly called zonal geranium or garden geranium. The in vitro results showed that S. almeriensis extracts significantly improved the germination index (GI) in watercress seeds and stimulated root formation in soybean seedlings compared to the water control. The in vivo trials confirmed that plants treated with S. almeriensis extracts experienced significant increases in the height, number of leaves and flowers, and dry weight of various organs, indicating an overall improvement in plant biomass and structural health. The results also revealed that the biomass produced in freshwater was more effective than that obtained in seawater, probably due to a lower accumulation of saline compounds that can reduce the biostimulant activity
