A study of Songa-Wayaua geothermal field using TOUGH2 reservoir simulation was conducted. This study shows the workflow to update the Songa-Wayaua conceptual model based on geosciences data, and to assess its potential resource. Since this field still a green field, the model still has so many uncertainties because lack of the actual well data. The numerical simulation of Songa-Wayaua geothermal field has been developed and it showed a proper alignment with geosciences data but still requires validation from well data. This is the first numerical model of Songa-Wayaua geothermal field. The model provides additional insights which have been used to review and update the conceptual model. The conceptual model of Songa-Wayaua geothermal field has been successfully updated. The main updated points of the conceptual model were the location of the heat source to be beneath the Mt. Pele, adding the flow fluid pattern as outflow and upflow location, and adding iso-temperature distribution. By using the heat stored method with probabilistic approach (Monte Carlo Simulation), the resource calculation approximately 30 MWe.

Imagining a motion without doing the actual movement is known as Motor imaginary (MI). However, translating MI as an input for BCI that control the Assistive Technology (AT) device was a challenging method due to the extensive training required, poor user engagement, and visual feedback response delays. For a person who has difficulties to imagine without visual stimulation, more training should be conducted. Even with a visual stimulus, sometimes a person still finds it hard to distinguish between one movement and another. So, finding a suitable input to control an AT device that suitable for someone who has extremely limited movement is very challenging. In the other hand, EEG signal had been proven sufficient in detecting facial expression. Even though the EEG signal contains EMG facial artifact and considered as an unwanted signal for BCI, facial movement artifact could become a compensator signal for EEG based Human Computer Interface (HCI) system to improve efficiency. This study aims to develop HCI systems to distinguish three different movements (forward, backward, and stop) EEG signals that recorded from EEG EMOTIV Epoc based on different facial expression. This HCI system could bring benefit if it is implemented for AT device, such as rollator since the user could easily distinguish different movement without any visual stimuli required so could reduce an extensive training before usage and could improve the quality of life people with limited extremity movement.

Ultrasonic tomography is one of many non-destructive methods to image a rock by measuring wave velocities (P or S-wave). Some applications of ultrasonic tomography include research for seismic anisotropy, rock physics, shale gas etc. The objective of this study is to assess the ability of the robotic instrument to measure rock samples using ultrasonic tomography method. As we know that a conventional method are still employed to measure wave velocities in ultrasonic tomography. The conventional method measures a rock manually that it is often difficult and sometime takes quite long time. One of alternatives to cope with the problem is to design a robotic instrument. The robotic instrument is made of microcontroller and stepper motor. The microcontroller and stepper motor control the position of ultrasonic transducers while measuring the rock sample. The robotic instrument is not only able to measure but also have feedback controls. As a result, measured data can be more accurate and precise than those of the conventional method. Several rock samples are used for testing measurements using a MSIRT (Modified Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique) method. Results show that using the robotic instrument can enhance quality of data and reduce error up to 50%.

Stroke is a neurological disease and is a significant cause of disability throughout the world. Patients with stroke or post-stroke usually still experience interference in walking in the form of a drop foot caused by atrophy of the anterior tibialis muscle, so they cannot perform dorsiflexion. Drop foot disorders can be treated by rehabilitation using Posterior Leaf Spring Ankle-Foot Orthosis (PLS AFO). PLS AFO has the advantage of a higher level of flexibility compared to other AFO types. The primary purpose of this research is to observe the level of resilience based on the influence of AFO thickness. This study uses the finite element analysis of three model variations in the initial contact, midstance, terminal stance, and calf loading phases. The material used in this study was carbon fiber. The simulation will result in the distribution of stress, strain, and deformation values in each AFO model. The simulation results show that AFO resistance is affected by variations in AFO thickness where the increase in strength is proportional to the increase in AFO thickness. The AFO with a thickness of 10 mm is the most suitable for the tibialis anterior atrophy case.

The Silangkitang (SIL) geothermal system is a fault-controlled and liquid-dominated reservoir associated to a deep heat source. Geology data from recent development drilling and reservoir monitoring demonstrated that the high permeability is concentrated within zone between two strands of Great Sumatra Fault (GSF). These faults are major dextral strike slip system that cross the entire length of Sumatra Island. The fault distribution has been defined by integration and interpretation of tectonic geomorphology, surface geology, and well geology. The highest permeability is controlled by faults and fractures associated with localized releasing steps within west of main Tor Sibohi Fault (TSF). This paper outlines the indication of high permeability zone based on recent geology evaluation outcome.
In this paper, we have investigated the effect of the work function of transparent conducting oxides (TCO) on the performance of a-Si:H p-i-n solar cells, including open circuit voltage (VOC), short circuit current (J...

Indonesia as a third largest rice producer has glutinous rice as one of its natural resources, which can be used as the advantage in organic fillers production. Organic and inorganic fillers are commonly added to reinforce the mechanical properties of the polymer in impression materials. Organic fillers made from glutinous rice flour can be produced due to its high amylopectin content and unique characteristics of morphological and structural of the source plant. Moreover, it is abundant in production, low cost, non-toxic and biodegradable. However, this type of filler is not common in dental area, especially in impression materials. This study aims to exercise the probability of the use of organic fillers made from Indonesian glutinous rice as filler component of the viscosity the dental impression materials. Nano-size, morphology, and amount of glutinous rice organic filler shall affect the consistency of viscosity, which will be provided as light, medium, heavy body and putty consistency. The study can be used as a reference in the future research of Indonesian glutinous rice development for organic nanofillers production that could be used for dental impression materials reinforcement towards better mechanical properties.

One of the technologies expected to improve the quality of flexible pavement is to use a modified asphalt mixture of Crumb Rubber (CR). The material can be used as a very thin added layer which is then called Very Thin Overlay Modified Crumb Rubber (VTO Mod-CR) and the functions as a leveling layer. This asphalt mixture is expected to have high durability and increase the age service life of flexible pavement. The aim of this study was to analyze the design mix formula (DMF) and the durability of the asphalt mixture. This research carried out variations of asphalt content i.e. 6.0%, 6.5%, 7.0%, 7.5% and 8.0% with each variation of 3 specimens for Marshall Test. Based on the DMF analysis results obtained optimum asphalt content of 7.00%, while the properties of the mixture in the form of bulk density of 2.240, VIM of 3.77%, VMA of 18.15%, VFA of 79.23%, Stability of 1049 kg, Flow of 3.47 mm, Marshall Quotient of 251 kg / mm, Bitumen Film Thickness 16.08 µm. The results of the analysis of the mixture properties have met specifications General of Highways, so it can be used as a reference for AMP. The BFT value obtained meets the minimum specification specifications of 16 µm, this shows that the resistance to water and oxidation is higher, so the pavement becomes durable.
