Virtual Care Rapid Scoping: Main Report
Authors: CADTH
Published: December 2022

We conducted rapid scoping of the literature, an adapted method of a scoping review, to quickly identify the available evidence and knowledge gaps for the clinical effectiveness, harms, implementation considerations, and guideline recommendations for virtual care.

We found 230 scoping reviews and 12 reports representing 11 evidence-based guidelines, all published between 2020 and 2022, about virtual health care involving remote communication between a health care provider and a person receiving care. Most scoping reviews focused on care for mental health, cardiovascular, and cancer-related conditions; and guidelines focused mostly on recommendations for cardiovascular, cancer, reproductive, and rheumatology-related conditions.

The scoping reviews mostly reported on how virtual care affects patient-focused outcomes and patients’ use of the health care system, and how patient and caregiver perspectives could be considered when using virtual care. There may be gaps in the existing evidence base for the effects of virtual care on changes in patients’ care plans and clinical harms for patients, and for the ethical aspects that could be considered when implementing virtual care. We found no scoping reviews that discussed environmental or climate considerations for virtual care use. Close to one-third of the scoping reviews referenced patients living in rural or remote settings, and 7% mentioned Indigenous Peoples.

All of the 11 guidelines provided clinical practice recommendations, and 8 of them provided other implementation recommendations. About half of the guidelines referenced patients living in rural or remote settings, and 1 guideline mentioned Indigenous Peoples. There may be gaps for guidelines that provide recommendations for primary health care and for those with certain conditions, such as mental health disorders and diabetes.

Abstract. Staphylococcus aureus is an important causative agent of subclinical bovine mastitis worldwide.
The aim of this research was to study the ability of S. aureus to form biofilms.
Additionally, we examined the genes involved in cell resistance and
sensitivity to antibiotics. Samples were collected from December 2020 to May
2021 from Simmental and black-and-white cows. The study was carried out on a
total number of 643 cows, of which 278 (23 %) were in the subclinical
mastitis stage. Finally, 64 S. aureus isolates were isolated and identified. The
highest level of phenotypic resistance was observed to antibiotics of the
tetracycline (tetracycline – 48.4 %, doxycycline – 32.8 %) and
β-lactam (ampicillin – 45.3 %, penicillin – 45.3 %) groups. The
genes encoding antibiotic resistance were characterized with the polymerase
chain reaction method: blaZ in 30 isolates, mecA in 1 isolate, ermC in 15 isolates, aph (3) in 2 isolates, tetK in 19 isolates, tetM in 9 isolates.
The tested S. aureus isolates had the ability to form biofilms in 76.6 % (49/64) of
cases. Of these, 69.4 % were resistant to at least one antibiotic. The
obtained results have shown that S. aureus, identified in cows with subclinical
mastitis, was resistant mainly to tetracycline and β-lactam antibiotics.
In addition, S. aureus isolates expressed resistance genes to the above drugs and had
the ability to form biofilm. This study will help to identify the
extent of antibiotic resistance and monitor S. aureus contamination of raw milk.

Abstract. The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is one of the
leading global bottom-up societies that promotes earth, planetary and space
sciences. In its annual general assemblies, EGU brings together experts from
all over the world to discuss cutting-edge research and implementation of
findings in their respective disciplines and beyond via its inter-and
transdisciplinary sessions, and thus offers a unique forum for scientific
exchange, science-policy interaction, and joint development of strategies
for future research endeavours. Within that framework the Energy, Resources
and the Environment (ERE) Programme Group provides the platform for
discussion about adequate and reliable supplies of affordable energy and
other georesources in environmentally sustainable ways. This special issue
in Advances in Geosciences comprises a collection of contributions from the
ERE Programme Group, which were presented at the General Assembly 2022. It
was held in hybrid mode for the first time from 23–27 May 2022, after two
virtual assemblies in 2020 and 2021.
Drone-towed controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) system for near-surface geophysical prospecting: on instrument noise, temperature drift, transmission frequency, and survey set-up
Authors: Vilhelmsen Tobias Bjerg , Døssing Arne
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Drone-borne controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) systems combine the mobility of airborne systems with the high subsurface resolution in ground
systems. As such, drone-borne systems are beneficial at sites with poor accessibility and in areas where high resolution is needed, e.g. for
archaeological or subsurface pollution investigations. However, drone-borne CSEM systems are associated with challenges, which are not observed to
the same degree in airborne or ground surveys. In this paper, we explore some of these challenges based on an example of a new drone-towed CSEM
system. The system deploys a multi-frequency broadband electromagnetic sensor (GEM-2 uncrewed aerial vehicle, UAV), which is towed 6 m below a drone in a towing-bird
configuration together with a NovAtel GNSS–IMU (global navigation satellite system–inertial measurement unit) unit, enabling centimetre-level position precision and orientation. The results of a number of
controlled tests of the system are presented together with data from an initial survey at Falster (Denmark), including temperature drift, altitude
vs. signal, survey mode signal dependency, and the effect of frequency choice on noise. The test results reveal the most critical issues for our
system and issues that are likely encountered in similar drone-towed CSEM set-ups. We find that small altitude variations (± 0.5 m)
along our flight paths drastically change the signal, and a local height vs. signal correlation is needed to correct near-surface drone-towed CSEM
data. The highest measured impact was −46.2 ppm cm−1 for a transmission frequency of 91 kHz. We also observe a significant increase in the
standard deviation of the noise level up to 500 % when going from one transmission frequency to five. We recommend not to use more than three
transmission frequencies, and the lowest transmission frequencies should be as high as the application allows it. Finally, we find a strong
temperature dependency (up to 32.2 ppm∘C-1), which is not accounted for in
the instrumentation.
Three-dimensional hydrogeological parametrization using sparse piezometric data
Authors: Rambourg Dimitri , Di Chiara Raphaël , Ackerer Philippe
Published: December 2022

Abstract. When modelling contamination transport in the subsurface
and aquifers, it is crucial to assess the heterogeneities of the porous
medium, including the vertical distribution of the aquifer parameter. This
issue is generally addressed thanks to geophysical investigations. As an alternative, a method is proposed using estimated hydraulic parameters
from a 2D calibrated flow model (solely reliant on piezometric series) as
parametrization constraints for a 3D hydrogeological model. The methodology
is tested via a synthetic model, ensuring full knowledge and control of its
structure. The synthetic aquifer is composed of five lithofacies,
distributed according to a sedimentary pattern, and functions in an
unconfined regime. The level of heterogeneity for hydraulic conductivity
spans 3 orders of magnitude. It provides the piezometric chronicles used
to inverse 2D flow parameter fields and the lithological logs used to
interpolate the 3D lithological model. Finally, the parameters of each
facies (hydraulic conductivity and porosity) are obtained through an
optimization loop, which minimizes the difference between the 2D calibrated
transmissivity and the transmissivity computed with the estimated 3D facies
parameters. The method estimates values close to the known parameters, even with sparse
piezometric and lithological data sampling. The maximal discrepancy is
45 % of the known value for the hydraulic conductivity and 6 % for the
porosity (mean error 26 % and 3 %, respectively). Although the
methodology does not prevent interpolation errors, it succeeds in
reconstructing flow and transport dynamics close to the control data. Due to
the inherent limitations of the 2D inversion approach, the method only
applies to the saturated zone at this point.
EVALUATION OF LOW-COST DEPTH SENSORS FOR OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Depth information is a key component that allows a computer to reproduce human vision in plenty of applications from manufacturing, to robotics and autonomous driving. The Microsoft Kinect has brought depth sensing to another level resulting in a large number of low cost, small form factor depth sensors. Although these sensors can efficiently produce data over a wide dynamic range of sensing applications and within different environments, most of them are rather suitable for indoor applications. Operating in outdoor areas is a challenge because of undesired illumination, usually strong sunlight or surface scattering, which degrades measurement accuracy. Therefore, after presenting the different working principle of existing depth cameras, our study aims to evaluate where two very recent sensors, the AD-FXTOF1-EBZ and the flexx2, stand towards the issue of outdoor environment. In particular, measurement tests will be performed on different types of materials subjected to various illumination in order to evaluate the potential accuracy of such sensors.
COMPUTING ARBITRARILY LARGE MESHES WITH LEVEL-OF-DETAIL SUPPORT FOR CESIUM 3D TILES
Authors: Hillmann M. , Igelbrink F. , Wiemann T.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. In this paper we present an approach to compute arbitrarily sized meshes of large scale environments. The meshes can be reconstructed from laser-scanned point clouds or existing high-resolution meshes. The algorithm automatically builds a level of detail hierarchy in the Cesium 3D Tiles format using an octree partition. The main contribution of this paper is a method that ensures that the generated meshes for each level-of-detail stage are computed in a consistent manner to minimize visual artifacts between different detail levels during rendering. Furthermore, both the reconstruction and simplification algorithm are designed to constrain the memory consumption, which enables to process even very large data sets on consumer-grade hardware. The export into the Cesium 3D Tiles format allows to render such large meshes efficiently in all web-based viewers that support this format. In our experiments we evaluate the method on different datasets and assess the visual quality during the rendering process and analyze the memory footprint as well as the runtime behaviour.
COMBINATION OF THERMAL INFRARED IMAGES AND LASERSCANNING DATA FOR 3D THERMAL POINT CLOUD GENERATION ON BUILDINGS AND TREES
Authors: Lecomte V. , Macher H. , Landes T.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. The thermal infrared study of urban environments is of growing interest. It allows to observe the variations of surface temperatures on objects over time and therefore the microclimate at the scale of a street. To facilitate the analysis of thermal interactions between urban elements, it is necessary to provide a 3D visualization of the thermography of a street. For this purpose, 3D thermal models combining geometric and thermal infrared (TIR) measurements are required. The chosen format for 3D thermal models is a point cloud with a temperature attribute. In our approach, two types of urban components are considered: buildings and trees. The geometric data of each component are acquired with a static laser scanner and the surface temperature is acquired with a thermal handheld camera. For the building, the approach consists in georeferencing TIR images and colorize the point cloud by projection. For trees, the approach consists of the colorization of each laser scan prior to the registration. The spherical panoramic images acquired with the Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) are used as references to automatically georeferenced the TIR and thus to save time. The 3D thermal models obtained highlight the impact of sunlight on buildings and trees. At building scale, this thermal representation also helps to emphasize thermal bridges, as well as the shadow generated by surrounding trees. At tree scale, this representation is useful for monitoring the temporal and spatial variability of trunk’s and leave’s temperatures. Obviously, the thermal models underline the impact of trees on the urban environment.
APPLICATION OF ACTION CAMERA VIDEO FOR FAST AND LOW-COST PHOTOGRAMMETRIC SURVEY OF CULTURAL HERITAGE
Authors: Morena S.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. The research work focuses on the growing of fast and low-cost data surveying methods (both in the acquisition and processing phases), to be used mainly as a support for the management and enhancement of architectural heritage. Attention is paid on the diffusion of action cameras, characterized by wide-angle lenses and 4K video shooting, with more and more affordable prices and on the elaboration of the data with photogrammetry software. The high-resolution videos captured by these tools, in fact, allow the selection of frames characterized by sufficient overlap, necessary for point cloud generation through Structure for Motion (SfM) processes. The focus is on indoor environment characterized by architectural value and on the data processing not only with professional photogrammetric application but also with cloud server-based system. Hence, the frames extracted from the video have been processed with different, both professional, economic, and user-friendly software tools, achieving several results. Finally, the output data have been compared with a survey method now well established in this field, such as laser scanning. The results of the analyses will be critically discussed in the paper to highlight the great potentialities and the possibility to apply this methodology in the future for heritage preservation.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Since the dawn of humanity, dancing has been central to life occasions, for celebration, mourning, entertaining or even communicating. Still, it remains a vital practice around the world. With the development of technology, many efforts have been made to adapt specific choreographies and dancing rituals to the modern era, via digital platforms. However, these sequences cannot be construed as realistic when they are viewed through computers, because the actual expressions are lost in the translation. A lot of attempts have been made to provide a solution to this issue, but the most successful are the motion capturing devices and equipment. In this research, we focus on the recording of choreographies, which represent important social concepts, using a Microsoft Kinect sensor as a motion capturing device. Microsoft Kinect is chosen because it is a low-cost device that can deliver adequate results. The outcome of the research is a “handbook” in virtual reality environment, which can be used as an educational tool by anyone. The project aims at being a response to the global need of today’s world for creation of inclusive environments, where socially aware people can peacefully co – exist. The digital handbook can enhance the skills and competences of adult trainers in arts and culture and every participant gets in touch with sensitive concepts and develops social awareness. Inspiration for the project is drawn via social and humanistic values stemming from philosophical, sociological and psychological texts and it is innovative not only for its content but also for the way this is developed.
FITTING A NORMAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION TO DEPTH ESTIMATIONS OF THREE REALSENSE™ RGB-D CAMERAS TESTED IN SCENES WITH TRANSPARENCY
Authors: Curto E. , Araujo H.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. In the last decade, various companies have released different versions of RGB-D sensors, improving their performance at various levels (resolution, frame rate, robustness). These devices can measure depth using one of the following optical technologies: Structured-Light, Active Stereoscopy or Time-of-Flight / Lidar. This paper aims to evaluate and compare the performance of three low-cost RGB-D cameras in the estimation of depth of a wall when transparent elements such as glass and water are added to the field of view. We propose an experimental setup for data acquisition involving an aquarium (empty and filled with water). The evaluation is based on the statistical distribution and dispersion of the Normal Probability Distribution estimated for each case.
MEASURING NUT VOLUMES USING THE AZURE KINECT
Authors: Peng X. , Chan T. O.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Rapid and accurate nut count and volume measurement techniques are critical for nut production and its automation. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) depth camera, the Azure Kinect, was used to measure the volume of the nuts, along with our proposed point cloud processing framework. A group of nut16rowns was first collected as point clouds using the Azure Kinect, and then the point nearest neighbor (PNN) algorithm was used to perform fast nut single segmentation. After that, noise caused by the multi-path effect was identified from the collected point clouds. Most of the noise was eliminated using the surface boundary filter (SBF) algorithm. After the preprocessing, the volumes of the nut point cloud were estimated using the least-squares ellipsoid fitting (LSEF). We selected three different nuts in the experiment: 15 each of walnuts, pecans, and macadamia nuts. Their volumes were first measured by the Azure Kinect, and then by the water displacement method (WDM) as control. The results show that the proposed measurement setup can accurately count nuts and the average nuts volume estimation accuracy is 92.1% when compared to the reference volumes. The Azure Kinect can effectively count the number of nuts and accurately estimate the volume of nuts of different types and sizes, based on our proposed framework.

Authors: Petrovcic S. A. B. , Buschinelli P. D. V. , Cavaco M. A. M. , Pinto T. L. F. C.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. This paper proposes a new Laser Triangulation System (LTS) that allows an 360° external inspection for each acquired image using two planar mirrors, one laser line projector, and one camera. The new measurement algorithm is based on the inverse triangulation in which the analysis is made from 3D object space to image space, the opposite of traditional LTS algorithms, with laser peak detection in favourable directions even in an image with multiple reflections of the object. Measurement system principle, calibration and metrological evaluation are described based on simulated experimental data and 3D reconstructions examples. Uncertainty for a 20 mm plain plug gauge measurement was ±0.07 mm for 95.45% confidence.
REGISTRATION AND FEATURE EXTRACTION FROM TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNER POINT CLOUDS FOR AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING
Authors: Pexman K. , Robson S.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Aircraft wing manufacture is becoming increasingly digitalised. For example, it is becoming possible to produce on-line digital representations of individual structural elements, components and tools as they are deployed during assembly processes. When it comes to monitoring a manufacturing environment, imaging systems can be used to track objects as they move about the workspace, comparing actual positions, alignments, and spatial relationships with the digital representation of the manufacturing process. Active imaging systems such as laser scanners and laser trackers can capture measurements within the manufacturing environment, which can be used to deduce information about both the overall stage of manufacture and progress of individual tasks. This paper is concerned with the in-line extraction of spatial information such as the location and orientation of drilling templates which are used with hand drilling tools to ensure drilled holes are accurately located. In this work, a construction grade terrestrial laser scanner, the Leica RTC360, is used to capture an example aircraft wing section in mid-assembly from several scan locations. Point cloud registration uses 1.5” white matte spherical targets that are interchangeable with the SMR targets used by the Leica AT960 MR laser tracker, ensuring that scans are connected to an established metrology control network used to define the coordinate space. Point cloud registration was achieved to sub-millimetre accuracy when compared to the laser tracker network. The location of drilling templates on the surface of the wing skin are automatically extracted from the captured and registered point clouds. When compared to laser tracker referenced hole centres, laser scanner drilling template holes agree to within 0.2mm.
METROLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A LASER-CAMERA 3D VISION SYSTEM THROUGH PERSPECTIVE-N-POINT POSE COMPUTATION AND MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS
Authors: Brambilla P. , Conese C. , Fabris D. M. , Tarabini M.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. This study focuses on the metrological characterization of a 3D vision system consisting in the fusion of a CMOS camera sensor with a 2D laser scanner for contactless dimensional measurements. The purpose is to obtain an enhanced measurement information as a result of the combination of two different data sources. On one side, we can estimate the pose of the target measurand by solving the well-known Perspective-n-Point (PnP) problem from the calibrated camera. On the other side, the 2D laser scanner generates a discrete point cloud which describes the profile of the intercepted surface of the same target object. This solution allows to estimate the target’s geometrical parameters through the application of fit-to-purpose algorithms that see the data acquired by the overall system as their input. The measurement uncertainty is evaluated by applying the Monte Carlo Method (MCM) to estimate the uncertainty deriving from the Probability Distribution Functions (PDF) of the input variables. Through a Design of Experiments (DOE) model the effects of different influence factors were evaluated.
AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF VOLUME CHANGES IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Authors: De Winter H. , Bassier M. , De Geyter S. , Vergauwen M.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. The construction industry is still one of the least digitized sectors in the world, and digitization in the road construction sector in particular is even more dire. To improve the efficiency of the sector, it is of utmost importance to automate construction monitoring tasks, i.e. progress, quality and quantity analyses. The goal of the presented framework is the automation of volume calculation in road construction, so the last branch, i.e. quantity analysis. This paper discusses volume calculations in road construction sites. These volume calculations will be done based on both as-design data and as-built data, where the former is modelled by considering the regulations formulated by the Agency of Roads and Traffic, Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer (AWV) of Flanders, and the latter is captured by using an RTK-UAV. The feasibility of the proposed workflow is examined using real test cases. As a result of the automation, the homogeneity of data across projects will increase and this forms the basis for further automation in road construction. By performing these checks on a regular basis at set intervals, one can obtain a clear overview of progress. In this way, possible delays or errors can be spotted quickly, resulting in higher quality and reduced failure costs.
A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF CLOSE-RANGE PHOTOGRAMMETRY GEOMETRICAL FEATURES
Authors: di Filippo A. , Antinozzi S. , Dell’Amico A. , Sanseverino A.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. An examination of the traceability and dependability of the virtualisation properties is prompted by the widespread use of three-dimensional models. The challenge of obtaining accuracy indicators directly from the photogrammetric method when a reference model is missing is widely acknowledged. In this study, a robust method based on a statistical analysis of the uncertainty associated with Tie Points (TPs) is presented to provide a strict framework for the informed processing of photogrammetric survey data. In the phases of Structure estimation, Structure optimisation, and Dense Cloud generation, the key steps and variables affecting data processing are described. The workflow is then applied to a specific bronze museum finding smaller than 20 cm in size. All tie points that overcome the filtering phase are included in the procedure and for their coordinates the covariance matrix is examined. The error ellipsoid is calculated and the distribution of the lengths of the major semi-axes is analysed to calculate an appropriate tolerance interval which can be used as an indicator of the accuracy of the entire photogrammetric process. Indeed, using the tolerance intervals tool allows for the derivation of a representative indicator that can be compared with the outcomes of other photogrammetric processes while overcoming the ambiguity of statistical indicators that are not representative in the case of a non-normal distribution.
ORIENTATION OF IMAGES WITH LOW CONTRAST TEXTURES AND TRANSPARENT OBJECTS
Authors: Morelli L. , Karami A. , Menna F. , Remondino F.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Objects with non-collaborative or transparent surfaces pose challenges to image orientation procedures and are an open research task in photogrammetry and computer vision. In this paper, we analyse the critical issues that cause image orientation failures and propose two approaches that leverage the low-contrast textures present on object surfaces to accurately orient an image block. Both approaches privilege tie point detection on low-contrast textures, discarding specular reflections and static tie points. In the first approach local descriptors are extracted in those regions where roughness and micro-structures are better highlighted, applying the normalized cross-correlation (NCC) on the gradient map of the images to fully exploit the geometrical content of the patches. The second approach builds on the first method modifying the classic RootSIFT pipeline and obtaining a faster and more reliable approach. Different transparent objects with different surface characteristics are tested to evaluate the efficiency and reliability of the proposed pipelines for image orientation and successive dense 3D reconstruction.
HIGH RESOLUTION SURFACE RECONSTRUCTION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE OBJECTS USING SHAPE FROM POLARIZATION METHOD
Authors: Mortazavi F. S. , Saadatseresht M.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Nowadays, three-dimensional reconstruction is used in various fields like computer vision, computer graphics, mixed reality and digital twin. The three- dimensional reconstruction of cultural heritage objects is one of the most important applications in this area which is usually accomplished by close range photogrammetry. The problem here is that the images are often noisy, and the dense image matching method has significant limitations to reconstruct the geometric details of cultural heritage objects in practice. Therefore, displaying high-level details in three-dimensional models, especially for cultural heritage objects, is a severe challenge in this field. In this paper, the shape from polarization method has been investigated, a passive method with no drawbacks of active methods. In this method, the resolution of the depth maps can be dramatically increased using the information obtained from the polarization light by rotating a linear polarizing filter in front of a digital camera. Through these polarized images, the surface details of the object can be reconstructed locally with high accuracy. The fusion of polarization and photogrammetric methods is an appropriate solution for achieving high resolution three-dimensional reconstruction. The surface reconstruction assessments have been performed visually and quantitatively. The evaluations showed that the proposed method could significantly reconstruct the surfaces' details in the three-dimensional model compared to the photogrammetric method with 10 times higher depth resolution.
Open access and predatory publishing: a survey of the publishing practices of academic pharmacists and nurses in the United States
Authors: Conlogue Bridget C. , Gilman Neyda V. , Holmes Louisa M.
Published: December 2022

Objective: Academics are under great pressure to publish their research, the rewards for which are well known (tenure, promotion, grant funding, professional prestige). As open access publishing gains acceptance as a publishing option, researchers may choose a “predatory publisher.” The purpose of this study is to investigate the motivations and rationale of pharmacy and nursing academics in the United States to publish in open access journals that may be considered “predatory.”
Methods: A 26-item questionnaire was programmed in Qualtrics and distributed electronically to approximately 4,500 academic pharmacists and nurses, 347 of whom completed questionnaires (~8%). Pairwise correlations were performed followed by a logistic regression to evaluate statistical associations between participant characteristics and whether participants had ever paid an article processing fee (APF).
Results: Participants who had published more articles, were more familiar with predatory publishing, and who were more concerned about research metrics and tenure were more likely to have published in open access journals. Moderate to high institutional research intensity has an impact on the likelihood of publishing open access. The majority of participants who acknowledged they had published in a predatory journal took no action after realizing the journal was predatory and reported no negative impact on their career for having done so.
Conclusion The results of this study provide data and insight into publication decisions made by pharmacy and nursing academics. Gaining a better understanding of who publishes in predatory journals and why can help address the problems associated with predatory publishing at the root.

Published: December 2022

The synthesis of silver nanoparticles by the bioreduction method has been successfully carried out using  the meniran (P. niruri) as bioreductor. The synthesis was started by varying the volume of AgNO3 in the ethanol extract of meniran 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4, so that the optimal volume was 1:1 based on the results of UV-Visible spectrophotometer analysis with an absorbance of 0.306 at maximum wavelength of 409 nm. Based on the measurement using Zetasizer Nano ZS, the resulting silver nanoparticles has paticle size of 740.4 nm.  The FTIR analysis showed that there was an increase in the percentage of transmittance of the hydroxyl group which proved the reduction of Ag+ ions to Ag0 and the formation of silver nanoparticles. The Scanning Electron Microscopy proved that the morphology of silver nanoparticles varies in shape and the surface is smooth due to their tendency to agglomerate.
