This study aims to design the movement of the hexapod robot so that it can move straight forward, turn 90 degrees forward, and move forward 180 degrees by applying the tripod gait method to produce a maximum movement pattern. The robot control system uses Arduino Mega 2560 to control the motion of 18 servo motors through the I2C interface servo motor driver - PCA9685. In straight forward motion testing, an average velocity of 6 cm/s was obtained, 90 degree forward motion testing obtained an average speed of 18 degrees/s, while the 180 degree rotational forward motion test also obtained an average speed of 18 degrees/s.

The Land is a fundamental factor in production activity. Accordingly, it is closely related to economic growth—which supports the living needs of human beings. In many cases, human activities related to land use are often uncontrollable, impacting many negative effects on the environment, both locally and globally. More broadly, these activities will lead to some changes in land cover and some other physical features such as climate. In order to understand the phenomenon of land cover changes, we approach them through modelling. To detect any changes in land cover in a region, it is necessary to identify the driving factors causing land-cover change. The relation between driving factors and response variables can be evaluated by using regression analysis techniques. In this case, land cover change is a dichotomous phenomenon, i.e., binary. Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) model is one of the regression analyses which can be used to describe the nature of dichotomy. From the results of this study, the driving factors causing land-cover change in West Java were found, those are: the distances to the central business districts in some certain areas such as Bandung City, Bekasi Regency, Bekasi City, Bogor Regency, Karawang Regency, and Sukabumi Regency; the distance to the the capital of the province; the distance to the main roads; the population numbers; and some physical features of the land such as slope, curvature, and height. This predictive model had an accuracy level of 49,79%, which equals to 1.827.217,44 ha area.

This paper presents a case study of reconstructing past landslide failure models in a napal geological formation by undertaking a series of geoelectrical tomographies and geotechnical bor-SPT surveys. study area is located in the National Artery Road 135 Kilometres, Majene – Mamuju, West Sulawesi. Geological formation found in the area is Napal Pambauang Formation. Massive ground movement is obviously detected in the area, and several landslide events have been occured in the last 10 years. In order to derive an effective technnique of mitigating the landslide in the area, past landslide failure models are needed to reconstruct. Therefore, 2D geoelectric tomographies survey combined several geotechnical bors were undertaken. A Framework of geophysics and geotechnical investigations was developed and implemented. The results show that slope failure models can be mapped, following unique patterns in the subsurface resistivity models. The finding slope failure models are well agreement with successive scarp patterns founded in the slope area. Past and recent landslides and future landslide are derived and this can be employed to design effective landslide mitigation strategies.

In this study, solid-state fermentation was carried out to produce single cell protein by local Aspergillus niger. Rice straw pulp produced from the pretreatment by liquid hot water at temperature 121 °C for 60 minutes of cooking time was used as carbon source. The effects of nitrogen sources, initial medium pH, C/N ratios of substrates and fermentation time on SCP production were evaluated in these experiments. The single cell protein was measured as crude protein content in the fermentation product by the Kjeldahl analysis method. The maximum crude protein of 18.9 % (w/w) contained in the fermentation product occurred at the fermentation condition with C/N ratio 30:1, the initial medium pH 4, temperature 30 °C, moisture content 75 % and relative humidity 95 %.

This study aimed to design a Greenhouse Remote Monitoring system and to immediately evaluate the monitoring system. The Monitoring system was designed based on the NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller to expectedly result an Android monitoring display as the output. This research was conducted in Greenhouse at faculty of Food and Agroindustrial Technology, University of Mataram. An experimental method using greenhouse and hydroponic system was applied to this research. The monitoring system consisted of components that functionally related to each other (NodeMCU ESP8266, Android, DHT11 (temperature and humidity sensor), BH1750 (light sensor), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) sensors, and other components that further supported by programming language. The observed parameters were the greenhouse temperature (°C); humidity (%); light intensity (lux); and the amount of TDS (ppm). The experiment indicated that the designed monitoring system successfully displayed what the sensor had read then translated it into Android. The average percentage of the Light meter reading errors using the BH1750 sensor (shown) on Android was 2.13%; the average percentage of the hygrometer reading errors using DHT11 sensor on Android was 0.14%; the average value of the thermometer reading errors as well as DHT11 sensor on Android was 0.76%; while the average TDS reading error on Android was slightly above 5% due to increasing temperature inside the greenhouse, especially in the afternoon period.

The purpose of this study was to design a microcontroller based automatic plant watering system. The method used was an experimental method using two sensors, i.e. soil moisture sensor (measure soil moisture) and ultrasonic sensors (measure the distance of rotary direction regulator for DC motors). Arduino board is preferable as the main controller due to its simplicity. Tool testing was conducted through trials on soil samples and performance tests when the tool was operating. The parameters observed were solar intensity (Lux), ambient temperature (°C), RH (%), water discharge (ml/s), DC motor axis rotation (rpm), AC and DC voltage (Volt), and soil moisture (%). The tool testing showed that the designed watering system could works properly with less than 10% MAPE. When the sensor read the soil moisture value below 70% setting point, the pump and DC motor were turned on. Whereas, when the soil moisture value achieved 80% setting point, the pump and DC motor were turned off. Performance test was conducted for three days of observation. The founding shows that the designed automatic watering system could successfully provide as much as 2.52 litre of water during approximately 6 minutes of watering period.

The infection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has increased to 8% in 2017 in Indonesia. This infection commonly occurs in hospital thus, individuals must maintain personal hygiene such as using antibacterial soap. Several commercial antibacterial soap in Indonesia still use triclosan and triclocarban as antibacterial agent. This is a problem because they have been banned by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2017. The use of them can disturb human reproduction system which lead to infertility and destroy algal growth. This study utilized Spirulina platensis and virgin coconut oil (VCO) as fatty acid source which reacted with sodium hydroxide to make soap. Furthermore, VCO also acted as antibacterial agent which can kill bacteria. Film-formed soap is expected to lessen soap and water waste. This soap was made by the hot process method at a temperature of 65°C. The examination done were free alkali, free fatty acid values, pH values, water content and antibacterial activity toward S. aureus. The result showed that all sample met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) of hard soap. The use of VCO can substitute chemical-based antibacterial agent in soap because it has same ability in killing S. aureus in soap (at 25% dilution) which resulted in safer and environmentally friendly soap. The optimum composition in soap making were found in the use of 1 g S. platensis.

Multi-channel analysis of surface wave (MASW) is a suitable technique to infer shallow structure of vertical shear-wave velocity profile from seismic record data. The processing stage is focused on obtaining the reliable dispersion curves, and the final stage of the method is that to obtain the shear velocity model that can explain the observation. The genetic algorithm (GA) method, one of the global optimization approaches, has been implemented to obtain shear wave model from Rayleigh wave dispersion curve. The GA method mimic biological evolution in order to obtain the optimum solution. Application of GA method to two synthetic models for normal velocity profile and low velocity anomaly give good results indicated with small misfit. Finally, we demonstrate the GA to Rayleigh dispersion curve for real data which calculated by using phase-shift method.
