Breadfruit is one alternative carbohydrate source in Indonesia. However, breadfruit is seasonal and climacteric crops; it should be processed immediately to produce flour. Native breadfruit flour has many limitations since it is difficult to be solubilized and swollen in cold water. The flour is modified physically by pregelatinization to improve its properties. Pragelatinized breadfruit flour can be used as instant food, porridge, and baby food. This research is aimed to investigate the effect of slurry concentration (20 and 30%) of native breadfruit flour and rotational speeds (4, 6 and 8 rpm) of double drum drier to the chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of the pregelatinized flours. The results showed that pregelatinization did not influence to the chemical composition. Pregelatinization of the flour improved the water solubility and swelling power on room (30°C) and hot (70°C) solutions, reduced the freeze-thaw stability, caused partial gelatinization which is monitored by losing the birefringence of starch granule, and darkened the flour. The pregelatinization also reduced the gelatinization temperature and had low final viscosity. Low concentration of slurry and low rotation speed of drum increased the gelatinized part of the flour, which is influenced to the cold and hot water solubility.

The horizontal network of control stations plays an important role in geometric measurement activities, such as determining positions of point, distance, area, or even volume. One of the methods of determining horizontal network values is the least squares method. The method of least squares is one of the most frequently used methods to obtain unique estimates for a set of redundant measurements. The equations that are used in the horizontal network surveys are the nonlinear equations so it must be linearized in order to be computed using least squares method. The problem that arises when linearizing the nonlinear observation equation is the approximate coordinates of the network stations are needed for its computations. In order to handle this problem, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is applied as an algorithm for determining the approximate coordinate values of the network stations. The algorithm of PSO is a heuristic function that optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve a candidate solution toward the best solutions. The advantages of PSO are that PSO is designed for solving a problem more quickly when classic methods are too slow and finding an approximate solution when classic methods fail to find any exact solution. This paper presents the design of an application for horizontal network adjustment using PSO algorithm, namely SAEnet. The Algorithm was written in Matlab which is very effective in matrix manipulation and has been widely used in various fields of numerical computations. The computation of horizontal network adjustment using SAEnet application consists of determination of initial approximation values using PSO and the adjustment computation using the least squares method. SAEnet is also equipped with save menu to Microsoft Excel format and load menu from Microsoft Excel format. The test shows that the input and output of the program can run as expected. The results are then compared to other program, like STAR*NET, usin

Cellular traffic in the literature can be classified into voice, SMS, and data. Along with the rapid development of internet technology, a cellular operator is required to have spatial-based customer behavior information as the primary data in making business policy. The use of cell phone in Jakarta is remarkably recorded, while competitors among cell phone providers unavoidably follow the costumers' behaviors. Combined methods are applied such as statistical analysis of ANOVA and multiple comparison tests supplemented by the spatial techniques using Geographic Information System (GIS) to review the time and area differences of the voice traffic changes. A cellular provider name Indosat is chosen as a case of voice traffic model data. Simple land-use types of residential classifications are set up and isolated rings of Von Thunen are reconstructed to explain more on the relationship between voice traffic of cell phone and land use distribution. The result of research indicates that the voice traffic highly varies among residential strata and commercial areas. In addition, voice traffics vary between weekdays and weekends depending on the accumulated users.

CO2 injection into the hydrocarbon reservoir affects the subsurface mechanics and hydraulic condition. The injection has to be performed in a way that there will be no reservoir and/or top seal failure. In such case, a simulation of the injected fluid propagation needs to be performed to see its possible impact to the top seal and existing major faults. We use finite element method to perform this injection simulation. In this research, we use open source software Finite Element Heat and Mass Transfer Code (FEHM) to simulate CO2 injection processes into reservoir. Subsurface geological model was constructed in a dimension of 3000 m (easting) x 3000 m (northing) x 2000 m (vertical). Vertically, it consists of four layers which represent upper layer (400 m), top seal (200 m), reservoir (900 m), and basement (500m). The grid around the reservoir rocks is refined to give more detail results. The open hole injection is set at 850 - 890 m depth, 1500 m easting and 1500 m northing. The material is assumed to be isotropic. The initial pressure and temperature increase as a function of depth with a pressure gradient of 0.00981 MPa/m and a temperature gradient of 0.025 degrees C/m. A vertical fault is modelled at 600 m eastern to the injection well. Injection process is carried out with 6 kg/s of CO2 injection with simulation time for ten years to see its impact to the fault. A vertical fault is The modelling results show that the CO2 injection will not reactivate the fault at 10 years.

Vertical (slopping)-ridge is generally applied to cultivate potato crop in tropical highland area with intensive use of non-organic fertilizer, by which the soil erosion as well as environmental degradation might be significantly accelerated. On the other hand, horizontal (contour)-ridge has been very effective to reduce the soil erosion in potato cropping field, but yet slightly ineffective to support the optimal crop production, due to the waterlogging in the ridge profile. Dimension of the horizontal-ridge is expected to affect water distribution as well as the waterlogged condition, on which a specific study need to be focused, in order to develop an appropriate drainage system on the ridge. This study was aimed to characterize the spatial distribution of soil water in the horizontal-ridge profile under various ridge dimensions. Totally 9-potato-plots of 300 x 300 cm2 with 5% slope were prepared in Serang village, Purbalingga with various dimensions and replications of the horizontal ridges: 30 x 30 x 30 cm3 (G30), 30 x 40 x 30 cm3 (G40), and 30 x 50 x 30 cm3 (G50). Of each plot, the dielectrically (volumetric)-water content of the horizontal-ridge soil within the grid of 80 x 80 cm2 at the depth of 5, 10, and 20 cm were measured every months using EC5 moisture sensors and EM50 data logger, and then averaged. Based on the given grid, the data were plotted in contour pattern and were then analysed using semivariogram (Gstat and GNUplot) to characterize the spatial distribution and variability, respectively. The results showed that the spatial distribution of dielectrically (volumetric)-water contents tended to be inter-correlated within each ridge dimension, and the data were increased with soil depth and ridge dimension increment. Accordingly, the data were spatially-correlated with sill (C, semivariance) ranged from 0.00084-0.00429 cm3 cm−3 and range of influence (a) ranged from 0.624 - 2.809 m, in which the G50 had most representative and stable trend of the s

The research concerns on the strength of light weight concrete with aluminum fiber as micro-reinforcement by environmental load especially burning and water curing. The purpose of this study was to determine the minimum time of water curing required to obtain full recovery of modulus elasticity. A cylindrical concrete of 150 mm in diameter and 300 mm in height was produced for compressive test. Fiber volume fraction are 0.75% of concrete. Aluminum fiber with aspect ratio of 60, cement type I, sand, alwa as coarse aggregate, water, and viscocrete are used. Testing are based on SK SNI M–14–1989–F. The result shows that the minimum recovery time to the modulus elasticity of lightweight concrete are 56 days water curing, while for aluminum fiber lightweight concrete required a shorter time for full recovery of 42 days. It could be concluded that water curing can self-heal light weight concrete and aluminum fiber light weight concrete after burning.
