Kemiri sunan (Reutalis trisperma (blanco) airy shaw) is a plant that has the potential to be developed as a biodiesel feedstock in Indonesia because its fruit seeds have several advantages compared to jatropha and palm oil, including its oil content and productivity. The biodiesel production process consists of three stages, namely, esterification, transesterification, and purification. The process requires strong mixing to obtain sufficient contact between the vegetable oil and the catalyst or alcohol, especially at the beginning of the reaction. It is carried out manually in the reaction process through mechanical mixing (stirring) and heating in the transesterification process. Furthermore, biodiesel production process is greatly influenced by the accuracy of concentration and type of catalyst. This study aims to identify the optimal method for the process of biodiesel production from kemiri sunan oil. The research was conducted with a one-stage transesterification to determine the biodiesel yield and quality. The results showed that several biodiesel parameters satisfied the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) for biodiesel (SNI number 7182:2015). However, the kinematic viscosity of biodiesel was still higher than the standard.

Belawan Port is one of the main ports in Indonesia whose role and function are important in the national logistics system. Belawan Port is a gateway for the Province of North Sumatra. The port must have sustainability in carrying out its role and function as transportation and economic infrastructure. In this research, Belawan Port sustainability will be evaluated from several aspects or dimensions, namely ecology, economy, social culture, technology, and institutions and law. Belawan port sustainability analysis using the Multidimensional Scaling method, using the modified Rapfish program. The analysis is carried out on five dimensions and 49 attributes/factors, which are used as a reference in the SDGs program. Not every SDG will be relevant for every business, however, every SDG should be considered. SDGs no.4 and no.5 are not directly related to port management activities, while SDGs no.8,9,11,14,17 are directly related. From the analysis obtained Ecology sustainability index = 48.38 (less-sustainable), Economic sustainability index = 42.89 (Less-Sustainable), Socio-Cultural sustainability index = 52.47 (Fair-Sustainable), Technological sustainability index = 54.11 (Fair-Sustainable), Institutional and Legal sustainability index = 50.74 (Fair-Sustainable). With policy and program interventions, the sustainability of the existing Belawan Port in the short term can be improved to be fair-sustainable for all dimensions (ecology, economy, social & culture, Technology, Institution & Law) evaluated.

Palm oil industry is one of the leading industrial sectors in Indonesia. In order to fulfill CPO demand as well as increasing of CPO sales, a research to analyse the supply chain flow of CPO was conducted. This research was conducted in ABC company, which is a privately owned business entity engaged in oil palm plantations located in South Tapanuli Regency, Indonesia. Analysis of supply chain had been done by using Food Supply Chain Network (FSCN) to define the integration of key business processes provided by original suppliers that provide products, services, and information from end users to customers and other stakeholders. Result of this research clearly defined the supply chain process with a clear flow of material, information and finance. The key process of CPO supply chain is the distribution of raw materials of CPO, namely fresh fruit bunches (FFB) which were collected from privately owned oil palm plantations and nearby community gardens, then processed in mills, deliver to storage tank, and export to customers. Analysis of this case study provided a clear description of CPO supply chain and may let further researchers to easily examine the potential risks at each stages and actors of CPO supply chain.

The objective of the project is to carry out the dimensioning of a photovoltaic system that allows its integration with a condensation system for the production of fresh water in isolated areas (Rural), in such a way that a sustainable condensation application capable of producing water is generated. sweet to supply small groups of inhabitants in areas where the basic supply of liquid is deficient. The study area is the Department of Santander, Colombia, specifically in the Municipality of los Santos and the area known as Mesa de los Santos, in which difficult geographical conditions are presented such as: altitude of 1650 meters above sea level and deficiency in aquifers. The methodological development proposes the analysis of the meteorological conditions of the area, the identification, selection and dimensioning of the condensing system and the photovoltaic system through the amp-hour method and the software system advisor model (SAM). Additionally, a CAD model is developed to obtain the complete schematization of the model and carry out a simulation process to analyze the behavior of the integration of the aforementioned systems. Finally, a techno-economic analysis of the proposed system is carried out.

The intent of this research is to investigate the rainfall erosion index that has the highest correlation to the surface runoff volume and the amount of soil erosion. In addition, the aim of this research is to determine the effective rainfall erosion index to predict soil erosion based on observations. This research was conducted in a hydrology laboratory by using a rainfall simulator. The three methods that were used for analysing rainfall erosion were the formulas of EI30 by Bols, Utomo, and Lenvain. The result is expected to become a consideration in selecting the model of rainfall erosion index due to the rainfall factor as the input of soil erosion prediction. This research provides a temporary hypothesis for obtaining the value of the rain erosivity index with a different value from previous studies with EI30, which leads to the latest model for estimating and predicting from the Bols equation. Based on this research, the rain erosivity index was obtained with a predicting value and final equation of EI30 = 5.128 x (Rain)1.26 x (Days)0.47 x (Maxp)0.53 x (High)0.61 with the explained value from research analysis being EI30 = 5.128 x (50.002)1.35 x (23)0.47 x (622)0.53 x (12)0.61. Analysis was then performed with trial and error, and the conclusion of this research is a high rain erosivity index.

Blocking artifact, characterized by visually noticeable changes in pixel values along block boundaries, is a general problem in block-based image/video compression systems. Various post-processing techniques have been proposed to reduce blocking artifacts, but most of them usually introduce excessive blurring or ringing effects. This paper presents a deep learning-based compression artifacts reduction (or deblocking) framework relying on multi-scale residual learning. Recent popular approaches usually train deep models using a per-pixel loss function with explicit image priors for directly producing deblocked images. Instead, we formulate the problem as learning the residuals (or the artifacts) between original and the corresponding compressed images. In our deep model, each input image is down-scaled first with blocking artifacts naturally reduced. Then, the learned SR (super-resolution) convolutional neural network (CNN) will be used to up-sample the down-scaled version. Finally, the up-scaled version (with less artifacts) and the original input are fed into the learned artifact prediction CNN to obtain the estimated blocking artifacts. As a result, the blocking artifacts can be successfully removed by subtracting the predicted artifacts from the input image while preserving most original visual details.
