Background: Bone destructions in the oral cavity are due to trauma, chronic infection, congenital malformations, or resection surgery, most often by using an autologous bone graft technique. The problem using this technique are limited donors and suppliers, high cost, host potential imune response becauce accepts foreign bone tissue also potential transmission diseases. Another solution in tissue engineering techniques is using the scaffold. Hidroxyapatite is one of the osteoconductive potentialy ceramic materials in scaffold fabrication. Objective: To prove that bovine teeth hydroxyapatite have characteristic as scaffold for bone tissue regeneration. Methods: HA was obtained by calcining bovine teeth at 1000°C for 3 hours, Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) test , Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) test and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) test. Results: Bovine teeth hydroxyapatite to showed of hydroxyl, phosphate and carbonate functional groups (FTIR test). Average Ca/P=1.97. Conclusion: Hydroxyapatite from bovine teeth has potency as scaffold through the chemistry and physical characteristics.

The pressure in the hydraulic ram pump increases due to a sudden cessation of flow out through the waste valve when the waste valve is closing. The increasing of water hammer pressure is strongly influenced by velocity of the water flow in the drive pipe. Therefore, the waste valve has an important role in mechanism of the occurrence of water hammer pressure, performance, and flow patterns in the hydraulic ram pump. This study investigated the water hammer pressure and the flow patterns in the hydraulic ram pump that has been installed at Bon sub-village, as well as its performance at various strokes of the waste valve. In addition, CFD simulation using Ansys Fluent was conducted. The result show that increasing stroke of the waste valve increase the water velocity in the drive pipe and the water hammer pressure, and the optimum of the waste valve stroke has been predicted subject to volumetric and total efficiency using the equation of their trendlines. Furthermore, the flow patterns such as vortex, split flow, and blockage mass in the hydraulic ram pump have been identified.

Concrete is the most popular material construction which can be applied in broad construction projects. In addition, concrete is also featured with robust strength, durability, reflectivity, and versatility. However, concrete is prone to rupture that results in decreasing life span and its quality, so it requires additional cost for repair toward its damage. Self-healing concrete is one of the innovations developed by researchers to solve the cracks in concrete allowing the concrete to recover the cracks through the healing process. A self-healing concrete has more superior mechanical properties compared with normal concrete. Self-healing mechanisms can be divided into two types: autogenic and autonomic self-healing. Autogenic self-healing takes advantage of the formation of calcium carbonate crystals from unhydrated cement or mineral particles. Meanwhile, autonomic self-healing uses a healing agent capsulized into microvascular, microencapsulation, and pallets. Researchers applied self-healing concrete on a macro-scale, such as in panel walls, roof slabs, and river floodgates. This paper uses the literature review method to collect the data about self-healing concrete. This study aims to discuss self-healing concrete, its mechanical properties, durability, and analysis of the use of self-healing concrete from multi-perspective disciplines including economy, health and environment, construction, and public policy in Asia’s countries.

Groundwater use for irrigation requires high costs because it requires additional charges in digging wells, pumping units, and operators. In addition, the water flow that can be taken was limited according to the groundwater potential and pump capacity. Therefore, the critical information before pumping groundwater for irrigation is to know the potential of groundwater. Groundwater potential can be predicted based on aquifer description and saturated hydraulic conductivity with pumping test. The data was used to determine groundwater discharge as groundwater potential at the research site as a basis for determining the area that can be irrigated. The research was conducted by interpreting lithological data to determine the description of the aquifer, conducting continuous pumping tests to determine the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, determining the groundwater potential using Darcy's approach, and determining the optimal area that can be irrigated based on the groundwater potential and groundwater needs of rice. The results showed that the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer was 16.30 m/d which indicated that the aquifer was sandy. The groundwater potential in the study area is about 509.38 l/s, can irrigate rice fields of 489.79 ha, and for one well, it can irrigate about 1.5 ha in conditions without rain.
The purpose of this research is to know public perception of biogas users in Jetak Village, Semarang Regency viewed from technological aspect, technical (biogas installation), biogas benefit, economy and environment. ...
