    BACKGROUND: New magnetic carrier separation technologies, capable of treating dilute solutions in large-scale processes, even in the presence of biological debris, are necessary for the future development of biotechnology. Non-porous magnetic carriers are more resistant to fouling, show better mass transfer and have lower non-specific adsorption than porous carriers. Nanosized magnetic carriers have a surface area comparable to that of typical macroporous resins, and therefore their application has advantages

    The band structure of the Zn1-xCdxSySe1-y quaternary alloy is calculated using the empirical pseudopotential method and the virtual crystal approximation. The alloy is found to be a direct-gap semiconductor for all x and y composition. Polynomial approximation is obtained for the energy gap as a function of the composition x and y. Electron and hole effective masses are also calculated along various symmetry axes for different compositions and the results agree fairly well with available experimental values

Kata Kunci : Implementasi, Layanan Informasi Karir, Peserta Didik v ABSTRACT The researcher obtained an illustration that there were still some students at YP UNILA SMA Bandar Lampung who were still confused about going to secondary school after high school and also determining the direction of their life whether they wanted to continue their education to college or work. Based on this, the author is interested in the title "Implementation of Career Information Services to Assist Students' Readiness in Career Choices at SMA YP UNILA Bandar Lampung". The objectives of this research are 1. To find out and analyze how career information services are implemented to help students' readiness in choosing a career at SMA YP UNILA Bandar Lampung. 2. To find out and analyze what obstacles exist in implementing career information services to help students' readiness in choosing a career at SMA YP UNILA Bandar Lampung. 3. To find out and analyze the results of implementing career information services to help students' readiness in choosing a career at SMA YP UNILA Bandar Lampung. The research method is a qualitative approach, this research is included in the type of field research. This research uses data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation and documentation. Primary data is a source of data obtained through interviews with guidance and counseling teachers regarding the Implementation of Career Information Services to Assist Students' Readiness in Career Choices at YP UNILA SMA Bandar Lampung. Secondary data sources are obtained through intermediary media which can be in the form of documentation from respondents, namely guidance and counseling teachers at SMA YP UNILA Bandar Lampung. This research was carried out starting from planning in the form of preparing an RPL (Service Planning Plan). Then in the first implementation, preliminary activities. Second, core activities and third, closing activities. Then after completion of the implementation, it continues with the final stage, namely the evaluation stage. At the evaluation stage, the implementation of career information services to help students' readiness in choosing a career at SMA YP UNILA Bandar Lampung was carried out through two evaluation stages, namely process evaluation and results evaluation. Where these two types of evaluation are important in ensuring the effectiveness and success of an activity or project. Based on the results of research conducted by researchers regarding the implementation of information services about careers vi to help students' readiness in choosing a career at SMA YP UNILA Bandar Lampung, there are obstacles in its implementation in the form of less accurate information obtained, then the diversity of careers for each individual student. However, the result of implementing information services about careers to help students' readiness in choosing a career at YP UNILA High School Bandar Lampung is that of course students can get solutions from career information services regarding their career choices.

    Electrowetting on a lotus leaf

    No full text
    Electrowetting on dielectrics has been widely used to manipulate and control microliter or nanoliter liquids in micro-total-analysis systems and laboratory on a chip. We carried out experiments on electrowetting on a lotus leaf which is quite different from the equipotential plate used in conventional electrowetting. This has not been reported in the past. The lotus leaf is superhydrophobic and a weak conductor so the droplet can be easily actuated on it through electrical potential gradient. The capillary motion of the droplet was recorded by a high-speed camera. The droplet moved toward the counterelectrode to fulfill the actuation. The actuation speed could be of the order of 10 mm/s. The actuation time is of the order of 10 ms

    Yeast Particle Encapsulation of Scaffolded Terpene Compounds for Controlled Terpene Release

    No full text
    Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds produced by plants that are of great commercial interest in the food, agricultural, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries due to their broad spectra of antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, membrane permeation enhancement, and antioxidant biological activities. Applications of terpenes are often limited by their volatility and the need for surfactants or alcohols to produce stable, soluble (non-precipitated) products. Yeast particles (YPs) are hollow, porous microspheres that have been used for the encapsulation of terpenes (YP terpenes) by passive diffusion of terpenes through the porous YP cell walls. We here report the development of a second generation YP encapsulated terpene technology that incorporates the stimuli-responsive control of terpene release using biodegradable pro-terpene compounds (YP pro-terpenes). YP terpenes and YP pro-terpenes were both produced, in which high levels of carvacrol, eugenol, thymol and geraniol were encapsulated. The YP pro-terpenes show higher encapsulation stability than YP terpenes due to pro-terpenes being non-volatile solids at room temperature and stable in suspensions at neutral pH. YP pro-terpenes and YP terpenes were evaluated for biological activity in antibacterial, antifungal and anthelmintic assays. The YP pro-terpenes retained the full biological activity of the parent terpene compound

    As one of fast-growth wood species, hybrid yellow poplar (YP-h, Liriodendron sino-americanum) has been extensively planted throughout of China, however, little is known about its properties and applicability in structural and nonstructural applications such as construction and furniture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the properties of YP-h and examine its differences with yellow poplar (YP, Liriodendron tulipifera). The average vessel diameter of YP-h (55 μm) was 19 % lower than YP (68 μm), but, the density of YP-h was 37 % higher than YP and the dimensional change in YP-h was higher than YP. Comparable tensile strength and flexural modulus were found in YP-h and YP, however, the flexural, shear, and impact strength of YP-h was 35 %, 40 %, and 55 % higher than those of YP, respectively. The drilling, mortising, and turning processability of YP-h were superior to those of YP. Compared to the gluing and coating performance of YP, YP-h had inferior gluing properties and equivalent coating performance. Therefore, hybrid yellow poplar can be an ideal candidate for yellow poplar to be utilized in construction and furnitur

    The empirical pseudopotential method within the virtual crystal approximation is used to calculate the band structure of Mg1-xZnySySe1-y, which has recently been proved to be a potential semiconductor material for optoelectronic device applications in the blue spectral region. It is shown that MgZnSSe can be a direct or an indirect semiconductor depending on the alloy composition. Electron and hole effective masses are calculated for different compositions. Polynomial approximations are obtained for both the energy gap and the effective mass as functions of alloy composition at the GAMMA valley. This information will be useful for the future design of blue wavelength optoelectronic devices as well as for assessment of their properties
