The inhibition of Fusarium wilt in Chili by Endophytic Fungi isolated from Green Betel (Piper betle L.) Leaf
Full text linkGreen Betel (Piper betle L.) leaves are often used as medicine by local people because they contain antibacterial and antifungal substances. These substances can be produced by plant metabolites and are also the results of metabolites produced by endophytic fungi. Endophytic fungus is an organism that is associated with healthy host tissues without causing disease symptoms. Endophytic fungi from betel leaf are used as biocontrol agents against Fusarium oxysporum causes wilt disease that attacks Chili (Capsicum annuum L.), which is one of the main agricultural commodities in Indonesia. Fusarium wilt disease is a disease that significantly reduces crop yields based on crop yields. This research was conducted in a chili farm in Cangkringan, Sleman, Yogyakarta. This study aimed to test the antagonism of endophytic fungi with the dual culture technique. Three types of green betel leaf endophytic fungi were used for dual culture test against Fusarium oxysporum. The observation result showed the highest inhibition ability of 73.37% dual culture method. The inhibitory mechanisms of green betel leaf endophytic fungal isolates include parasitism, antibiosis, and competition. Endophytic fungi of green betel leaf are effective as biocontrol agents of wilt Fusarium chili disease. ©2022 JNSMR UIN Walisongo. All rights reserved
A glimpse of the Nitrogen-Fixing Wheat possibility
Full text linkAs the world's population grows at an exponential rate, greater food production becomes a requirement. Intensive agricultural methods, which are now used to produce the bulk of food, are unsustainable and will be unable to supply demand when natural resources become scarce. The industry faces a significant nitrogen demand, which must be met in order to combat hunger in emerging countries. This study used a literature review technique to investigate the potential for improved wheat crop yield through nitrogen fixation. It has been demonstrated that utilizing microorganisms such as cyanobacteria as biofertilizers or phytopathogen antagonists can boost the development and productivity of non-leguminous agricultural crops. Finally, the possible end result outweighs the costs. It's impossible to argue against the development of nitrogen-fixing wheat at this point in the technology's development. Whether it is possible to develop crops that rely solely on dinitrogen as a nitrogen source, or if the result is only a slight boost in wheat yields, the need to improve global food production needs research like the one described in this article.©2022 JNSMR UIN Walisongo.

We constructa quatenionic version of rotation operation that act to a quaternionic version of aspace coordinate vector. The computation are done for every rotation about eachcoordinate axes (x,y, and z). The rotated quaternionic space coordinate vector con-tain some unknown constants which determine the quaternionic rotation operator.By solving for that constants, we get the expression of the quaternionics versionof the rotation operator. Finally the generators of t
X-Ray Diffraction and Density Distribution Measurements on the Al2O3 Crystals Grown by Czochralski Method with Different Pull Rate
Full text linkThe Al2O3 crystal has been done by Czochralki Method with different pull rate. The effect of pull rate on the Al2O3 single crystal was characterized using X-ray diffraction and density measurement. Base on the XRD result of Al2O3 crystal, which belongs to the hexagonal system, except for the difference in the relative intensity, present diffraction data which are found to be in good agreement with those of the powder diffraction file (PDF) 43-1484 provided by the JCPDS. It was observed the structure with symmetry group D63d–R3C and has lattice constants being a = 4.759 Å, c = 12.99 Å. The density of the crystals increased with the pull rate. This phenomenon is caused by the speed of the pull rate crystal that causes changes in the heat flow in the furnace and then changed homogeneities of species distribution of atoms along the crystal. © 2015 JNSMR UIN Walisongo.

The Effect of Vanadium Oxide on The Catalytic Activity of Titanium Silicalite in Conversion of Benzene to Phenol
Full text linkPhenol is one of the most important intermediate for petrochemical, agrochemical, and plastics industries. Almost 95% phenol is produced using cumene method. Cumene method is a multi-stage process with many disadvantages including the difficulties to gain phenol product in maximum quantities and production of co-product such as acetone which has great amount in market nowadays. One of the alternative routes to produce phenol which has more advantages is through benzene hydroxylation reaction using H2O2 as oxidant agent and Titanium Silikalit-1 (TS-1) as catalyst. TS-1 catalyst has high catalytic activity and selectivity in selective oxidation reaction of aromatic compounds with H2O2 which important for commercial industries. However, the reaction rate is tend to be low because TS-1 has hydrophobic nature and as the result H2O2 adsorption which has hydrophilic nature towards active sites of TS-1 is also become slower. Addition of metal oxide V2O5 could enhance hydrophilicity of TS-1 catalyst. Liquid phase catalytic benzene hydroxylation using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant was carried out over vanadium (V) oxide-modified TS-1 catalyst (V2O5/TS-1), that were prepared by impregnation method using vanadium methavanadate as precursor and characterized by pyridine adsorption and hydrophilicity techniques
Simulation Nongravitational Dynamic of Cometary Orbit
Full text linkThe tail formation of a comet near the sun leads to the situation in which the comet continually losses a part of its masses so that the mass of the comet decreases monotonically. A comet may also accrete the material encountered along its orbit so that its mass increases. Therefore, the mass of a comet can be regarded as a function of time. In this work we study simulation the dynamics of the orbit of a comet due to the lost of its mass along the formation of its tail and the material accretion along its orbit. Here, we assume that the comet under consideration is of the form of a ball and rotates so rapidly that the whole of its surface catches the radiation of the sun equally
Bending Properties of Elephant Grass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Resin Composites
Full text linkElephant grass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites has been made and characterized on its mechanical properties that is bending properties. The specimen made by varying its filler’s volume fraction. The elephant grass fiber treated by immersing in water for 3 days continued by beating the strips gently in order to loosen and separate the fiber and scrapped with sharp knife and combed until individual fibers were obtained and cut uniformly in 2 cm length and 1 mm diameter width average. Hand lay up process used to prepare the composite specimens with 1%, 3% and 5% volume fraction. This method is the simplest method and require a low cost. The dimensions of the specimens used to carry out the test adapted from ASTM D 3379-75 for Bend testing. The results showed that filler volume fraction has effect to its bending strength. Specimen with 1% filler volume fraction has the highest bending stress whereas 5% filler volume fraction specimen has the highest elasticity modulus value
The analysis of Reservoar Porosity Calculation based on Well Log in Bintuni Basin Area
Full text linkThe Bintuni Basin is one of several oil and gas producing basin in Eastern Indonesia. This basin has one of the hydrocarbon-producing reservoir in the Kais Formation. The carbonate reservoir in Kais Formation is Middle to Upper Miocene age. The understanding of reservoirs is important for further field development. Petrophysical analysis is a method for understanding reservoirs especially porosity parameter and estimation of hydrocarbon reserve. The data used in study is well data including, mudlog report, well report, Gamma Ray (GR), Sonic, Resistivity (ILD, ILS, MSFL), density (RHOB) and NPHI logs. The aim study is to analyze the reservoir using Gamma Ray log and porosity calculation using Sonic, RHOB and NPHI logs. The study method includes regional geological literature review, marker analysis, Gamma Ray picking, and reservoir porosity calculations. According to Gamma Ray picking analysis, the Kais Formation GR has values of GRsand = 25 API and values of GRshale = 80 API. The Low Gamma Ray below 60 API is interpretated as carbonate reservoir. For porosity validation, the porosity of routine core analysis (RCAL) data is plotted into porosity logs (porosity calculation using Sonic, RHOB and NPHI logs). Based on the porosity calculation using three porosity logs(Sonic, Density, NPHI Logs), the porosity estimated from density log is more match with the porosity of routine core analysis (RCAL) data. According to porosity calculation at WTU Well, the porosity from log density in the Kais Formation has value from 2% - 25%. The porosity in Carbonate has large value as a result of secondary porosity.©2022 JNSMR UIN Walisongo. All rights reserved
The analysis of differences at Binary Image in COVID-19 and ARDS Patients from chest X-Ray examination
Full text linkCorona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a viral infection that was discovered at the end of December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The spread and transmission of this virus is very fast even to all countries in the world. Meanwhile, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is an emergency condition in the field of pulmonology that occurs due to fluid accumulation in the alveoli causes gas exchange disorders so that oxygen distribution to tissues were reduced. In this study, Chest X-Ray (CXR) image processing done in COVID-19 and ARDS patients with the aim of analyzing the differences in binary image using the Otsu Thresholding method. This study prioritizes improving the quality of the original CXR image by segmentation using calculating the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE) values. The results showed that the difference between CXR images in COVID-19 patients and ARDS lies in the extent of spread, in COVID-19 patients the extent of spread varies depending on the length of time the virus has invaded and not all of it starts from the alveolus, while ARDS tends to be constant and starts from the lungs. The lower part of the lung, specifically the alveoli. ©2022 JNSMR UIN Walisongo. All rights reserved
The effect of drying temperature on the characteristics of biodegradable plastic from Cassava pulp and Chitosan
Full text linkConventional plastics made from polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polystyrene, and poly (ethylene terephthalate) are difficult to decompose. Bioplastics can reduce the amount of toxic waste generated from biological materials other than petroleum. The combination of cassava pulp and chitosan can be used as a candidate for the manufacture of biodegradable plastics. The optimal drying temperature can produce biodegradable plastics that have good quality. The method used to determine the effect is the mechanical properties test with ASTM D-638M standard and degradation test. The results of this study obtained 6 samples of biodegradable plastic with variations in temperature A=40˚C, B=50˚C, C=60˚C, D=70˚C, E=80˚C and F=90˚C. From the results of the mechanical properties test, the tensile strength values of each sample are A = 0,84 MPa, B = 1,78 MPa, C = 2,24 MPa, D = 1,58 MPa, E = 1,23 MPa and F =0,57 MPa. While the percent elongation value of each sample is A = 11,09%, B = 21,62%, C = 30,25%, D = 15,94%, E = 13% and F = 7,2%. The drying temperature in the process of making biodegradable plastics can affect its mechanical properties, namely the higher the drying temperature used, the lower the tensile strength value and the percent elongation, this is because high temperatures can damage the chemical structure and evaporated sorbitol which serves to increase flexibility. The higher the drying temperature also causes the biodegradable plastic to take longer to degrade. Sample A with the lowest temperature degraded the fastest for 28 days, while sample F with the highest temperature degraded the fastest for 46 days.©2021 JNSMR UIN Walisongo. All rights reserved
