Abstract Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a metal oxide semiconductor that has a wide range of applications in many fields and can be easily produced in various microstructure. The fabrication of ZnO particle through green synthesis method was chosen as an alternative to replace chemical and physical methods, Green synthesis use natural ingredients derived from plant extracts. In this study, ZnO was sy…
ABSTRACT Synthesis of carbon electrode based on petai peel biomass has been succesfully made using a variation of concentration of KOH activator. The synthesis was started by drying the samples under the sun ray, and then drying them using an oven at temperature of 110° C then the samples entered the pre-carbonization process on 250° C. The samples were mashed then with ball milling and …
ABSTRACT Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) is a positioning and displacement sensor that is widely used in the industrial field because it has extreme heat resistance, high accuracy, excitation and precision and has a relatively small sensitivity level of 61.8 mV/mm. In this study the sensitivity of LVDT sensor can be increased using vitrovac soft magnetic material 6025F (wi…
ABSTRACT Zinc oxide (ZnO) synthesis using natural bioreductants has attracted the attention of many researchers because it is environmentally friendly and non-toxic. In this study, ZnO synthesis was carried out using sandoricum koetjape peel extract as biological reduction agent from its precursor (zinc nitrate hexahydrate) at the temperature of 60° for 2 hours. The as-prepared ZnO sample…

ABSTRACT The Big Bang Theory explains how universe formed. After Big Bang, universe accelerated by a scale factor of a(t). However, from Big Bang period until now, standard cosmology has some problems in explaining the evolution of universe, such as monopoles, horizons, and flatness. To solve this problem, a model of inflation at the early time of universe is needed. Inflation theory expla…
