Radiosynovectomy is a therapy performed on patients with acute-level arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis) as an alternative solution besides surgery. Radiosynovectomy is performed using a labeled compound with a particle size of 0.5-10 μm labeled with a β radioisotope. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a 1-10 μm-sized compound found in bones with the components of Calcium (Ca) & Phosphorus (P). Phosphorus-32 (32P) is a radioactive form of Phosphorus which emits pure beta rays and is often used for therapy. Labelling HA with 32P tends to be easy to do with a substitution reaction, because phosphorus is the main constituent of HA. Phosphorus-32 was made by irradiating natural sulfur at the Bandung TRIGA 2000 reactor facility following the 32S (n, p) 32P reaction mechanism. The separation process of Phosphorus-32 was carried out by a distillation method followed by extraction with 0.01 N HCl accompanied by heating for 30 minutes. The Phosphorus-32 solution is then passed through a 3 gr cation exchange resin. Before Phosphorus-32 was used for Labelling of HA, a Radionuclide Purity test was performed with a gamma-MCA spectrophotometer and a Radiochemical Purity test using paper chromatography. The test results showed Phosphorus-32 had Radionuclide Purity > 99.99% and Radiochemical Purity > 96%. 0.5 mCi Phosphorus-32 which meets the quality test requirements is reacted with 7 mg Ha at pH 7. Then it is vortexed at 1500 rpm for 60 minutes with 70 ° C heating. HA-32P is separated using centrifugation into residual and supernatant fractions. Measure the radioactivity of both fractions with a dose calibrator. Labeling Yield HA with Phosphorus-32 was obtained 98%. Furthermore this HA is ready to be used in in vivo tests for radiosynovectomy.

Design of Irradiation Facilities at Grid E-1 of Plate Type Research Reactor Bandung. Plate Type Research Reactor Bandung (PTRRB) core design is one of the result of PTRRB research programs. In the previous study the irradiation facilities at grid E-1 has not been designed and also distribution of thermal, epithermal and fast neutron flux at grid E-1 has not been studied. Since that data is very important especially in radioisotope production and neutron beam tube analysis, therefore in this study irradiation facilities at grid E-1will be designed. Previous PTRRB core design is a base for designing irradiation facilities at grid E-1. Considering geometrical of grid E-1 and aluminum tube dimension there are three possibilities aluminum tube configuration. The configurations are configuration 1, 2 and 3. Each configuration was modelled as arrangement of four aluminum tubes and each tube filled by four aluminum irradiation capsules. That configuration was starting point to made MCNP PTRRB reactor core model so there are three MCNP PTRRB reactor core model. MCNP PTRRB reactor core model is needed because MCNP software are computer program for calculating excess reactivity and neutron flux distribution at grid E-1. Result excess reactivity calculation of three configuration indicate that after installing irradiation tube excess reactivity is lower than of limit excess reactivity value 10.9 % of neutronic safety criteria of PTRRB design. Based on neutronic safety criteria, the three configuration is accepted for irradiation facilities PTRRB. Neutron flux calculation result of three configuration reveals that the highest neutron flux is located at capsule no II and III. Profile of thermal neutron flux, epithermal neutron flux and fast neutron flux of three configurations are similar. Neutron flux of thermal, epithermal and fast neutron of three configuration are slightly different. The calculation result reveal that highest thermal neutron flux at grid E-1 is 2.70 × 1013(n/cm2.sec) at configuration 2. Based on neutronic safety criteria and thermal neutron flux, configuration 2 is appropriate for irradiation facilities of PTRRB.

Lead (Pb) is one of the dangerous heavy metal contained in tailing that needs remediation activity. This study aimed to investigate the potency of jabon to take up and accumulate lead in its tissue by the application of compost and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungus (AMF) on pot observation. In Pb-containing tailing media, the average levels of Pb in roots seedling was 50% greater as compared to the levels of Pb in the stem and leaves of seedlings. Application of compost in tailings media significantly increased (p ≤ 0.5) the average levels of Pb in the roots and stems, but decreased Pb levels in leaves. Applications AMF significantly decreased (p ≤ 0.5) the average levels of Pb in the roots, stem and leaves of seedlings by approximately 18-33%. The combination applications of compost and AMF significantly (p ≤ 0.5) increased the level of Pb in the roots, stems and leaves of seedlings at 6, 16 and 27 fold respectively than that in control plant (without compost and AMF). After 12 weeks exposure, lead bioconcentration factor varied from 0.1-1.6 in seedling tissue with transport factor varied from 0.1-1.0. The application of active compost and AMF increased 1-15 fold lead accumulation from control, and the biggest accumulation was 452.9 x10-2 mg/plant with Pb concentration of 1.5 mM. Active compost and AMF application supported jabon seedling to act as lead phytostabilizer and to remove lead from the tailing to the above part of the plant.

The objective of the research was to determine the grazing pressure in mix pasture of signal grass (Brachiaria decumbens) and puero (Pueraria phaseoloides) at coal mining reclamation. The experiment was arranged by randomized block design consisted of 5 stocking rate treatments, those were 12.56, 19.63, 28.26, 38.47, and 50.24 m2.animal-1.d-1which were equal to length of tether rope of 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 m, respectively. The rotation system was applied by modifying the tether. Each rotation period was 30 d of three-rotation period. Result of this experiment showed that average daily gain (ADG) was different (P2.animal-1.d-1 and decreased linearly with increasing length of rope from 254.29 to 100.17 kg.ha-1. Maximum dry matter consumption was achieved at length of tether rope of 3.32 m or grazing area 34.61 m2.animal-1.d-1. Average dry matter yield in this experiment was 235.39 g.m-2.d-1 or 2.35 ton.ha-1.mo-1. Botanical composition of signal grass, puero, and weeds before and after grazing was change with grazing pressure.

Research related to bone fractures is currently focused on accelerating healing time with fewer complications. In some cases related to biological and mechanical factors that interfere with the healing process, it will take a longer time to heal. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a promising material used as a scaffold for bone implants with various advantages. The in vivo biodistribution of Sc-46 labeled composite (HA-Chitosan-Collagen) remains unclear. In this research, Scandium-46 was prepared as a non-carrier free radioisotope solution by irradiating 100 mg Sc2O3 target in TRIGA 2000 Reactor Bandung. In vivo experiment was performed on Sprague Dawley rats weighing approximately 250 g. Rats bone implant model was divided into two groups with n = 3 per time point. The Sc-46 labeled composite (HA-Chitosan-Collagen) have implanted to rats femur 10 mg with radioactivity 10 μCi. Rats were euthanized using accepted protocol and all organs were counted for radioactivity using Wipe Test Counter with NaI(Tl) detector. The percent of radioactivity measured per gram of tissue weight (%ID/g). Biodistribution results showed that Sc-46 labeled composite (HA-Chitosan-Collagen) using the bone-implant method were significantly different compared with the normal bone for 1, 3, and 8 days of the time interval with p<0.05. These observations suggest that Composite (HA-Chitosan-Collagen) is available for bone implants and remains at the implant site until bone recovery.

Magnetic nanoparticles of Fe3O4 (magnetite) have been synthesized from natural sand iron by co-precipitation method. The nanoparticles were synthesized using HCl as solvent and NH3 as co-precipitate. The nanoparticles synthesized at 70°C in two different treatments. Sample without Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 6000 noted by A and sample with PEG 6000 noted by B symbol. The measurement that have been done for both samples were XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) Spectrometry, SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), VSM (Vibrating sample magnetometer) and SAA (Surface area analyzer). The results showed that both samples were having Fe3O4 phases. Particle size, coercivity and magnetic saturation of B samples were smaller than A samples. But the surface area of B sample was larger than A sample. Both samples were then used to adsorb Cu and Pb ions using shaker method. Adsorption analysis from Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy (AAS) showed that B was more effectivein adsorbing metal ions than A. The adsorption value of Cu and Pb ions were 79 and 91% respectively.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that is currently on a trend. Interconnecting networks on IoT are useful in the automation process, but it has vulnerabilities to network-based disruptions and attacks; such as Denial of Service (DoS). This study aimed at implementing the Naive Bayes algorithm to predict attribute classes using training data-sets from NSLKDD with the KDD99 format and obtained testing-data from the logging process of DoS attacks on IoT-based devices. The advantage of using Naive Bayes is that this method only requires a small amount of training data to determine the estimated parameters needed in the classification process. The results of the conducted research could detect attacks on IoT devices by using the help of snort tools to capture traffic logs. The results from the log were then converted into KDD99 format and processed by the Naive Bayes method. This research uses a training dataset from NSLKDD with KDD99 format which is widely used in various studies and testing data obtained from the IDS log process on the Raspberry Pi 3. The attributes used are 9 attributes namely; service, flag, src_bytes, dst_bytes, srv_serror_rate, same_srv_rate, diff_srv_rate, dst_host_srv_diff_host_rate and dst_host_srv_serror_rate. The results of the research analysis showed an accuracy of 64.02%. These results were smaller than previous results, but some aspects were still different from the actual results because the testing data and training data were taken from two different data-sets, thereby they had different characteristics.

Nilem carp, Osteochilus hasselti is one of the local species which has an economic value in Indonesia especially the fingerling size “baby fish”. The purpose of this research is to determine the suitable of aeration rate for feeding incidence, survival, and growth. The aeration rates of this research were adjusted to A) 0 ml/minute; B) 500 ml/minute; C) 1,000 ml/minute; D) 1,500 ml/minute; and E) 2,000 ml/minute. Each treatment consisted of three replicates. 600 of newly hatched larvae (1 day old) were stocked in the fiber tank with size of 60 x 40 x 40 cm. Each fiber tank was completed by water heater. Larvae were cultured for 45 days. Larvae were fed Artemia and artificial diet. The parameters observed such as feeding incidence, survival, absolute weight and absolute length. The result showed that the aeration rate has influenced feeding incidence, the survival, absolute weight, and absolute length (P<0.05). The water quality parameter such as dissolved oxygen was affected by aeration rate where the higher of aeration will be led to increase the value of dissolved oxygen concentration. The aeration rate of 1,000 ml/minute is recommended to be suitable for larviculture of nilem carp in order to increase the seed production.
