Lake Towuti is located on central Sulawesi/Indonesia, within the Indo Pacific Warm Pool, a globally important region for atmospheric heat and moisture budgets. In 2015 the Towuti Drilling Project recovered more than 1000 m of drill core from the lake, along with downhole geophysical logging data from two drilling sites. The cores constitute the longest continuous lacustrine sediment succession from the Indo Pacific Warm Pool. We combined lithological descriptions with borehole logging data and used multivariate statistics to better understand the cyclic sequence, paleoenvironments, and geochronology of these sediments. Accurate chronologies are crucial to analyze and interpret paleoclimate records. Astronomical tuning can help build age-depth models and fill gaps between age control points. Cyclostratigraphic investigations were conducted on a downhole magnetic susceptibility log from the lacustrine facies (10–98 m below lake floor) from a continuous record of sediments in Lake Towuti. This study provides insights into the sedimentary history of the basin between radiometric ages derived from dating a tephra layer (~ 797 ka) and C14-ages (~ 45 ka) in the cores. We derived an age model that spans from late marine isotope stage (MIS) 23 to late MIS 6 (903 ± 11 to 131 ± 67 ka). Although uncertainties caused by the relatively short record and the small differences in the physical properties of sediments limited the efficacy of our approach, we suggest that eccentricity cycles and/or global glacial-interglacial climate variability were the main drivers of local variations in hydroclimate in central Indonesia. We generated the first nearly complete age-depth model for the lacustrine facies of Lake Towuti and examined the potential of geophysical downhole logging for time estimation and lithological description. Future lake drilling projects will benefit from this approach, since logging data are available just after the drilling campaign, whereas core descriptions, though more resolved, only become available months to years later., Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DE), Projekt DEAL

International audience; It is sometimes desirable to delve further into how the inputs affect the output in design optimization and uncertainty analysis. Surrogate models such as Gaussian Process Regression and support vector regression are useful for such tasks and can be further enhanced by introducing advanced post-processing methods. This paper investigates Shapley Additive Explanation (SHAP) as a tool to aid surrogate-assisted data-driven analysis. In particular, surrogate-enabled SHAP analysis allows visualization of the input-output relationship in a meaningful way using summary SHAP plots and SHAP dependence plots. Some importantinformation that can be extracted and visualized from SHAP includes the importance of input variables (i.e., global sensitivity analysis), nonlinearity level, and level of interactions. The benefits of Shapley values for engineering analysis using surrogate models are demonstrated in three engineering test problems.

International audience; Many engineering problems are governed by complex governing equations that are difficult and typically require high computational costs to solve. Machine learning and surrogate modelling aid such an endeavour by providing a cheap-to-evaluate prediction model that acts as a replacement of the original model. While most research focuses on predicting scalar values (e.g., lift and drag), predicting the solution field is also of interest in many practical engineering and scientific applications. This paper proposes a Physics-Informed Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) technique that improves the solution field prediction by enforcing governing equations as a loss penalty. The proposed idea utilizes a reduced-order modeling technique based on POD to decompose solution snapshots into singular vectors and values. A Gaussian Process Regression is then utilized to predict the singular values from variable parameters. The predicted singular values from the data of the problem are then adjusted via optimization to minimize the physics-informed loss and achieve better prediction. In this paper, we illustrate the efficacy of the proposed method on simple two-dimensional partial differential equations. The result clearly shows that the proposed physics-informed POD outperforms the conventional POD in terms of approximation error.

International audience; The effects of composite fabrication, such as pre-curing, curing temperature, and cooling rate, were studied. In this work, the pre-curing was defined as heat treatment of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWNCTs) with Diglycidyl Ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy resin. Acid purified MWCNTs were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The pre-curing facilitated bonding between MWCNTs and epoxy via the oxirane ring of DGEBA, which accelerated the curing process of epoxy and increased mechanical properties. The elevated curing temperature on the pre-cured sample further improved the composite’s mechanical properties by increasing interfacial bonding due to cross-linking. The rapid cooling using liquid nitrogen during pre-curing treatment prevented re-agglomeration of MWCNTs, showing smaller agglomerates and improving the mechanical properties. Agglomeration was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, while the bonding between MWCNTs and epoxy was examined by the length of fibre pull-out on the fracture surface. Tensile testing was deployed for mechanical properties characterization. The degree of cure was determined by FTIR and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA).

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-09-01 Bestway Foundation, UK European Commission Project H2020 CO2EXIDE This work shows that metallic zinc can be used as a low-cost substrate or electrode for photocatalyst and electrocatalyst use by anodising in mild bicarbonate solution. Electrochemical anodising was used to produce ZnO nanowires by controlling operational conditions and dip-coating the anodised surface with TiO2 to produce a core-shell coating with photocatalytic properties. The PbO2, which is known as good electrocatalyst, was electrodeposited over the ZnO-TiO2 core-shell structure to alter its surface for electrocatalytic degradation of dye. The electrochemical and photocatalytic behaviours of the coatings were analysed for the removal of RB-5 dye as model pollutant. For the ZnO-TiO2 core-shell, the photocatalytic removal mechanism was driven by the heterojunction photocatalytic effect of photocatalytically active anatase TiO2 and wurtzite ZnO. Photocatalysis was switched to electrocatalytic behaviour after incorporation of PbO2. Although the UV light might be blocked by PbO2, the electrochemical degradation was enhanced due to the creation ofOH free radicals over the PbO2 particles decorating a ZnO-TiO2 core-shell composite coating.

The polymer of intrinsic microporosity PIM-1 is employed to disperse and deposit a Pt@titanate nanosheet photocatalyst film. The resulting microporous films allow electrolyte and oxygen permeation to give conventional oxygen reduction voltammetric responses on glassy carbon or on platinum disk electrodes in the dark. Preliminary data are presented showing that with pulsed light from a blue LED (385 nm) oxygen reduction at the electrode is effectively “switched off”. A mechanism is tentatively assigned as photocatalytic depletion of oxygen near the electrode. Photoelectrochemical current responses are observed in aqueous NaOH, NaCl, Na2HPO4 and shown to be light intensity and oxygen concentration dependent. Electroanalytical applications are suggested.

International audience; This study aims to provide a baseline report of the apportionment of stranded plastic debris (macro) in Bintan Island beaches. Their quantity and composition were assessed during a 45-day survey demonstrating the occurrence of the 3378 plastic fragments, which were, in decreasing order, constituted by LDPE (22.9%), PS (19.5%), PP (16.6%), PET (10.4%), HDPE (9.2%), PVC (7.2%), PU (4.9%), polyester (4.7%), polyamide (4.3%), and styrene/butadiene (0.3%). The abundance ranged from 1.2 to 4.7 items/m2. Additional apportionment ranged from 0.03 to 0.15 items/m2 per day with an arithmetic mean of 0.09 ± 0.05 items/m2 per day, mainly related to domestic waste influenced by hydrodynamic action such as longshore current and wind dynamics. Furthermore, we suggested mitigation measures focused on local action to address the plastic debris problem in Bintan beaches, which are typical of the coasts of small islands in Indonesia.

International audience; This study investigated the use of a mixture of n-hexane and methanol as a binary solvent for the direct oil extraction and resin separation from Calophyllum seeds, in a single step. Optimal oil and resin yields and physicochemical properties were determined by identifying the best extraction conditions. The solvent mixture tested extracted oil and resin effectively from Calophyllum seeds, and separated resin from oil. Extraction conditions affected oil and resin yields and their physicochemical properties, with the n-hexane-to-methanol ratio being the most critical factor. Oil yield improved as n-hexane-to-methanol ratio increased from 0.5:1 to 2:1, and resin yield increased as methanol-to-n-hexane ratio increased from 0.5:1 to 2:1. Physicochemical properties of oil and resin, particularly for acid value and impurity content, improved as the n-hexane-to-methanol ratio decreased from 2:1 to 0.5:1. The best oil (51% with more than 95% triglycerides) and resin (18% with more than 5% polyphenols) yields were obtained with n-hexane-to-methanol ratios of 2:1 and 0.5:1, respectively, at a temperature of 50 °C, with an extraction time of 5 h. The best values for physicochemical property of oil were a density of 0.885 g/cm3, a viscosity of 26.0 mPa.s, an acid value of 13 mg KOH/g, an iodine value of 127 g/100 g, an unsaponifiable content of 1.5%, a moisture content of 0.8% and an ash content of 0.04%.

International audience; Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a unique biomaterial with interesting physico-chemical properties and potential technological applications (i.e. removal of heavy metals from wastewater, manufacturing electrical and electronic devices, papermaking and biomedical technologies among others). In this work, we describe the growth of well formed micro-crystals of the one-dimensional spin crossover (SCO) compound [Fe(Htrz)(2)(trz)](BF4)(n) in a matrix of BC. The thermal dependence of the magnetic, optical, calorimetric and vibrational properties associated with the SCO properties of the resulting composite material have been investigated and compare well with those of the bulk SCO. The SCO-BC composite films display reversible thermomagnetic (diamagnetic paramagnetic) and thermochromic bistability (purple pale-yellow) determined by a well-defined hysteresis in the temperature range ca. 345-380 K where these properties depend on the history of the sample (memory effect).

International audience; This study investigated biodiesel production from jatropha seeds in a single step, i.e. by simultaneous solvent extraction and transesterification of jatropha oil, and possibility to transform the obtained cakes into binderless particleboards. n-Hexane was used as extracting solvent. The best operating conditions were identified to obtain optimal biodiesel yield and quality, and optimal physical and mechanical properties for binderless particleboards. Biodiesel yield was usually influenced by operating conditions, and the influences of both n-hexane to seed and methanol to oil ratios were most significant. An increase in n-hexane to seed ratio (from 1:1 to 3:1) combined with the decrease in methanol to oil ratio (from 13.3:1 to 8.0:1) led to an improvement in biodiesel yield. The best biodiesel yield (92% with a fatty acid methyl ester purity >98%) was obtained from 2:1 n-hexane to seed ratio, 10.6:1 methanol to oil ratio, 200–600 rpm stirring speed, 50 °C temperature and 6 h reaction time. Operating conditions had no significant effect on the biodiesel quality, except the n-hexane to seed ratio. Moreover, cohesive particleboards were produced from the obtained cakes, proteins and fibers acting respectively as binder and reinforcing fillers. An increase in the cake moisture content significantly improved the particleboard properties. The most promising binderless particleboard was manufactured from cake B under 20% cake moisture content and 160 °C pressing temperature. Its properties were 0.87 g/cm3 density, 8.4% moisture content, 7.2 MPa modulus of rupture, 10.4 GPa modulus of elasticity, 0.14 MPa internal bonding strength, 52% water absorption and 20% thickness swelling after 24 h immersion in water.

Metode absorpsi merupakan metode yang banyak digunakan dalam pemurnian gas alam dari senyawa pengasamnya. Unit pemisahan senyawa sulfur pada PT BCD dirancang untuk menurunkan konsentrasi H2S pada gas alam dari 9957 ppm menjadi kurang dari 10 ppm dengan laju alir gas umpan pada rated condition adalah 327,7 MMSCFD. Keseluruhan sistem pengolahan gas didesain dengan turndown ratio 40%. Karena alasan operasi, laju alir gas umpan perlu diturunkan hingga 20% kapasitas desain (65,54 MMSCFD). Analisis dilakukan untuk mengetahui perilaku hidrodinamik kolom absorber dan sistem pendukungnya pada pengoperasian di 20% kapasitas desain. Simulasi dilakukan menggunakan perangkat lunak ASPEN HYSYS V11 untuk mengetahui parameter operasi kolom absorber dan kondisi untuk mendukung pengoperasian di 20% kapasitas desain. Dengan desain operasi peralatan saat ini, weeping terjadi pada laju alir gas umpan 28% desain (91,59 MMSCFD). Pada laju alir gas umpan 28% desain, wash water pump sudah mencapai kapasitas minimum, yaitu 78 gpm. Semakin kecil laju alir gas umpan, maka laju sirkulasi wash water perlu dikurangi untuk menghindari weeping. Untuk dapat beroperasi di gas umpan 20% desain, kapasitas wash water pump perlu diturunkan hingga 25 gpm.

Tasikmalaya City is a city that continues to grow and develop, both physically and in the behavior of its people. The pattern of distribution of housing is one of the parameters in social life. Social interaction in each housing is formed by the closeness of the space between houses, so that the pattern of housing distribution allows for differences in social conditions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the social condition factor on the influence of housing distribution patterns in the City of Tasikmalaya. This study uses the method of multiple regression statistics with research variables, namely housing distribution patterns, population growth, population density, the ratio of accessibility support facilities, the ratio of health facilities, the ratio of educational facilities and the ratio of economic facilities. Based on the results of social conditions have an influence on the pattern of housing distribution. This study has a multiple regression coefficient between several variables, namely 0.744, which means that there is a correlation between all variables X simultaneously with variable Y. The threshold value of the coefficient is 0.5 so that if it is more than that, it has a strong correlation. A strong correlation is related to social condition variables, namely population, population density, accessibility, health facilities, educational facilities and economic facilities.

Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world. Unfortunately, the plants are at risk from many disease problems, which mainly derive from microorganism. It is a little known about the relationship between disease‐inducing microorganisms and plants, particularly at the molecular level. This research aimed to characterize long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) from bananas that may have roles in regulating gene expression related to the disease response mechanism in banana derived from transcriptomic libraries. Furthermore, the detected transcripts were analyzed to identify the endogenous target mimics (eTMs) interaction between lncRNA and microRNA (miRNA) using computational approaches. Data from Cavendish banana (AAA group), Berangan (AAA group), Yunnan Banana (Itinerans), Dajiao (ABB group), and Klutuk (BB group) were used in this research. We found that lncRNA tends to be unsustainable, and most sizes are below 1000 bp (≥ 75%). Based on this result, we investigated the eTMs to determine lncRNA transcripts and miRNA, such as miR397 in Cavendish and miR444 in Klutuk. This transcript would be regulated following exposure to extreme temperatures and disease, indicating the possibility of disease‐specific interaction between bananas and their environment at the molecular level.

Aspect detection systems for online reviews, especially based on unsupervised models, are considered better strategically to process online reviews, generally a very large collection of unstructured data. Aspect embedding-based deep learning models are designed for this problem however they still rely on redundant word embedding and they are sensitive to initialization which may have a significant impact on model performance. In this research, a pruning approach is used to reduce the redundancy of deep learning model connections and is expected to produce a model with similar or better performance. This research includes several experiments and comparisons of the results of pruning the model network weights based on the general neural network pruning strategy and the lottery ticket hypothesis. The result of this research is that pruning of the unsupervised aspect detection model, in general, can produce smaller submodels with similar performance even with a significant amount of weights pruned. Our sparse model with 80% of its total weight pruned has a similar performance to the original model. Our current pruning implementation, however, has not been able to produce sparse models with better performance.

Fenomena membagikan foto dan narasi tentang rumah tinggal di media sosial muncul di tengah perkembangan teknologi dan informasi yang pesat. Hal tersebut mengubah sifat rumah yang semula privat menjadi lebih terekspos secara publik. Kondisi kontradiksi terlihat bahwa orang cenderung mempublikasi rumah pada media sosial, sedangkan secara fisik masyarakat yang tinggal di perumahan saat ini lebih memilih tinggal di lingkungan eksklusif yang mempunyai privasi tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini yakni mengeksplorasi bagaimana karakteristik visual rumah tinggal pribadi ditampilkan di media sosial dan mengidentifikasi batas ruang privasi yang ditampilkan oleh pemilik rumah. Metode yang digunakan yaitu kualitatif melalui analisis konten dengan mengidentifikasi foto dan narasi yang di tampilkan oleh pemilik akun media sosial. Mengidentifikasi foto dan narasi dapat memperlihatkan karakteristik visual dan batas privasi lebih detail yang ditampilkan oleh tiap pemilik akun dan memungkinkan variabel lain dapat terungkap. Hasil analisis karakteristik foto memperlihatkan bahwa konsep privasi rumah tinggal secara fisik tidak berlaku pada ruang digital. Terlihat bahwa pemilik rumah tidak hanya menampilkan zona publik, melainkan zona semi publik, semi privat, privat bahkan zona servis. Hasil analisis karakteristik narasi memperlihatkan adanya upaya perilaku yang dapat dilakukan di dalam rumah sebagai upaya memenuhi kebutuhan aktualisasi diri. Pemilik rumah tetap memiliki kontrol secara penuh terhadap batas privasi terkait informasi apa yang ingin dibagikan dan tidak dibagikan. Manajemen batas privasi juga membantu pemilik rumah memilih identitas seperti apa yang ingin ditampilkan melalui atribut arsitektural dalam rumahnya. Pencarian karakteristik diatas dapat memposisikan peran arsitektur hunian dalam membantu memenuhi kebutuhan pemilik rumah untuk dapat mengaktualisasi diri sesuai perkembangan teknologi.

International audience; The objective of this study was to investigate solvent extraction and in situ transesterification in a single step to allow direct production of biodiesel from jatropha seeds. Experiments were conducted using milled jatropha seeds, and n-hexane as extracting solvent. The influence of methanol to seed ratio (2:1-6:1), amount of alkali (KOH) catalyst (0.05-0.1 mol/L in methanol), stirring speed (700-900 rpm), temperature (40-60 °C) and reaction time (3-5 h) was examined to define optimum biodiesel yield and biodiesel quality after water washing and drying. When stirring speed, temperature and reaction time were fixed at 700 rpm, 60 °C and 4 h respectively, highest biodiesel yield (80% with a fatty acid methyl ester purity of 99.9%) and optimum biodiesel quality were obtained with a methanol to seed ratio of 6:1 and 0.075 mol/L KOH in methanol. Subsequently, the influence of stirring speed, temperature and reaction time on biodiesel yield and biodiesel quality was studied, by applying the randomized factorial experimental design with ANOVA (F-test at p = 0.05), and using the optimum values previously found for methanol to seed ratio and KOH catalyst level. Most experimental runs conducted at 50 °C resulted to high biodiesel yields, while stirring speed and reaction time did not give significantly effect. The highest biodiesel yield (87% with a fatty acid methyl ester purity of 99.7%) was obtained with a methanol to seed ratio of 6:1, KOH catalyst of 0.075 mol/L in methanol, a stirring speed of 800 rpm, a temperature of 50 °C, and a reaction time of 5 h. The effects of stirring speed, temperature and reaction time on biodiesel quality were not significant. Most of the biodiesel quality obtained in this study conformed to the Indonesian Biodiesel Standard.

International audience; The cholera toxin B pentamer (CtxB5), which belongs to the AB5 toxin family, is used as a model study for protein assembly. The effect of the pH on the reassembly of the toxin was investigated using immunochemical, electrophoretic and spectroscopic methods. Three pH-dependent steps were identified during the toxin reassembly: (i) acquisition of a fully assembly-competent fold by the CtxB monomer, (ii) association of CtxB monomer into oligomers (iii) acquisition of the native fold by the CtxB pentamer. The results show that CtxB5 and the related heat labile enterotoxin LTB5 have distinct mechanisms of assembly despite sharing high sequence identity (84%) and almost identical atomic structures. The difference can be pinpointed to four histidines which are spread along the protein sequence and may act together. Thus, most of the toxin B amino acids appear negligible for the assembly, raising the possibility that assembly is driven by a small network of amino acids instead of involving all of them.
