Heterogeneous base catalysts are commonly used as substitutes for homogeneous catalysts in the transesterification reaction for biodiesel synthesis, with CaO being a prominent example. CaO can be obtained from blood clam shells through calcination at temperatures above 700℃. However, CaO catalyst has a relatively low surface area, necessitating modifications, such as the addition of Fe2O3, to…

The potential for discovering new antibiotic alternatives through the exploration of local microbes from Riau as a source of bioactive compounds is significant. However, isolating active compounds using a guided assay approach presents challenges due to the limited amount of extract and the low yield obtained from microbial fermentation. To address these challenges, it is crucial to optimize fe…
Asplenium nidus, commonly known as bird's nest fern, belongs to the Aspleniaceae family. This fern typically grows in both lowland and highland areas, characterized by a single leaf and a rosette-shaped group of leaves, and it cannot tolerate direct sunlight. This study aims to isolate and characterize compounds from the chloroform extract of A. nidus and evaluate its antifungal activity using …
Infections caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, are becoming increasingly difficult to treat due to improper use of antibiotics leading to bacterial resistance. Therefore, new antibacterial agents are needed, and one continuously developed source is plants. One potential herbal plant is lampeni (Ardisia humilis Vahl) from the Primulaceae family and Ardisia genus, with several species repo…
Indeks Williamson menunjukkan bahwa ketimpangan antarwilayah di Riau mengikuti pola konvergensi dengan kurva cenderung berbentuk huruf U terbalik, artinya ketimpangan pada awalnya meningkat tetapi kemudian menurun seiring waktu. Kabupaten Bengkalis, Siak, Rohul, Inhil, dan Meranti merupakan penyumbang utama ketimpangan, Bengkalis dan Siak berkontribusi karena di atas rata-rata, sedangkan R…
Cascaded Fiber Bragg Grating (CasFBG) was introduced as an innovative solution to address the challenge of optical signal dispersion on single-mode optical fibers. The system is designed to improve the quality of optical transmission by minimizing the dispersion effect, so as to support the performance of more reliable and efficient optical communication networks. The implementation and analysi…
