Inovasi Ember Kompos untuk Menghasilkan Pupuk Organik Dalam Menunjang Pertanian Maju dan Berkelanjutan di Desa Aik Prapa, Lombok Timur
Get PDFThe composter bucket used to be an alternative that could be applied in Aik Prapa Village, Aikmel District, East Lombok to produce organic fertilizer as well as an alternative solution to the problem of environmental pollution and limited fertilizers. The process of making organic fertilizer using a composter bucket was an innovation based on the fermentation process of organic matter. The fermentation process in the composter bucket has produced solid and liquid organic fertilizer or Pupuk Organik Cair (POC). Solid and liquid organic fertilizers contain nutrients needed by plants. Provision of solid and liquid organic fertilizers on agricultural land can increase soil fertility. This community service activity aims to improve the community's ability to prevent environmental pollution and produce organic fertilizer independently. The method used to realize this program was socialization and the practice of making composter buckets. Socialization was carried out in the form of counseling and distribution of leaflets (brochures). While the practice of making composter buckets was carried out independently by participants accompanied by supervisors. The targets of this activity were members of the Family Welfare Development or Pembinaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK), youth organizations and representatives of several farmer groups in Aik Prapa Village. The success of this activity was indicated by the high level of enthusiasm of the participants during counseling, discussion and practice activities, the increased skill of the participants to make composter buckets, and the high desire of the participants to implement composter buckets in their own home.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
STUDI PERANCANGAN JEMBATAN GANTUNG DI DESA AIK PRAPA DENGAN GELAGAR WEB OPENING BEAM
Get PDFPerancangan jembatan gantung yang terletak di Desa Aik Prapa, Kabupaten Lombok Timur, Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat. Dengan bentang 96 meter dan lebar 1,8 meter termasuk jembatan kelas I. Salah satu permasalahan yang sering menghambat perkembangan suatu daerah yaitu kurangnya prasarana transportasi penyebrangan seperti jembatan. Penggunaan baja web opening beam bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan meningkatkan kekuatan serta kekakuan pada struktur atas jembatan. Jembatan gantung adalah sistem struktur jembatan yang menggunakan wirerop sebagai pemikul utama beban lalu lintas dan berat sendiri. Pada sistem ini wirerop utama memikul beberapa hanger (penggangtung) yang menghubungkan antara wirerop utama dengan gelagar atau struktur jembatan. Wirerop utama dihubungkan pada kedua pylon (menara) dan memanjang disepanjang jembatan yang berakhir pada pengangkeran di kedua ujung jembatan untuk menahan pergerakan vertikal dan horizontal akibat beban beban yang berkerja. Pada pylon tersebut dipasang saddle (dudukan) beserta roller yang berfungsi sebagai pengarah wirerop utama.
Pada tugas akhir ini struktur atas jembatan yang akan dirancang menggunakan metodologi meliputi pengumpulan data dan studi lietratur, pemodelan jembatan menggunakan SAP 2000 V.14, pembebanan rencana, analisis truktur atas dan bawah jembatan yang meliputi. Tiang sandaran, plat lantai, tegnagan kabel dan mennara, perencanaan gelagar melintang dan memanjang dengan menggunakan web opening beam, baut angkur dan base plate, elastamor, pondasi sumuran, dan perencanaan blok angkur.
Berdasarkan hasil perencanaan yang diperoleh hasil sebagai berikut: perencanaan tiang sandaran menggunakan profil L 40. 40. 4. gelagar menggunakan web opening beam WF.225. 150. 7. 10. Menara menggunakan WF. 400. 400. 18. 28 dengan tinggi 12, 5 m. Kabel utama menggunakan tali kawat baja 6 x WS (36) IWRC diameter 50 mm dengan lendutan 0,154 m dan hanger 20 mm. Elastamor dengan ukuran 450 x 450 x 104 mm. Pondasi sumuran menggunakan tulanagan D22 – 400 mm dan tulangan geser D16 – 400 mm dengan kedalaman 6 m dan diameter 2 m. Blok angkur dengan dimensi 4,5 x 3 x 5 m mutu beton 20 MPa dan mutu tulanagan 240 MPa.

Developing cell therapies as drug products
Get PDFIn the last 20 years, the global regulatory frameworks for drug assessment have been managing the challenges posed by using cellular products as new therapeutic tools. Currently, they are defined as “Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products”, comprising a large group of cellular types that either alone or in combination with gene and tissue engineering technology. They have the potential to change the natural course of still lethal or highly debilitating diseases, including cancers, opportunistic infections and chronic inflammatory conditions. Globally, more than 50 cell-based products have obtained market authorization. This overview describes the advantages and unsolved challenges on developing cells as innovative therapeutic vehicles. The main cell therapy players and the legal framework are discussed, starting from chimeric antigen receptor T-cells for leukaemia and solid tumours, dealing then with lymphocytes as potent anti-microbiological tools and then focusing on mesenchymal stem/stromal cells whose role covers regenerative medicine, immunology and anti-tumour therapy
Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
Get PDFFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
