Abstract
Bismuth layer-structured CaBi4Ti3.925(Nb2/3Mn1/3)0.075O15 (CBTNM) piezoelectric ceramics have been prepared using stereolithography (SL) technology. The effects of various solid contents (76–82 wt%) of CBTNM ceramics on the slurry viscosity, phase structure, microstructure, and electric performance were studied in detail. At a solid content of 82 wt%, the ceramic exhibits good piezoelectric properties. The piezoelectric constant d
33, thickness-mode electromechanical coupling coefficient k
t, and Curie temperature Tc were 21 pC/N, 47%, and 790 °C, respectively. The piezoelectric constant of the ceramic has a good stability up to 500 °C. Furthermore, a high-temperature ultrasound transducer was designed and fabricated based on the CBTNM ceramic, and its pulse-echo performance was characterized from room temperature to 250 °C. The pulse-echo performance indicates that the −6 dB bandwidth and echo amplitude of the transducer decrease slightly, but still work normally up to 250 °C. These results indicate that the transducer fabricated based on CBTNM ceramics has potential in high-temperature testing applications.
Influence of HTS tape arrangement on the transverse compression performance of copper former CORC cables

Published: April 2024

Abstract
CORC cables are subject to large transverse compression electromagnetic forces in fusion projects. Unfortunately, the electromagnetic force exceeding its critical transverse compression load will cause an irreversible decrease in its critical current. Therefore, it is particularly important to enhance the critical transverse compression load to ensure that the critical current does not decrease during operation. The winding method of high temperature superconducting (HTS) tape on the central former is variable. So the experimental study on how to increase the critical transverse compression load of CORC cable by changing the winding method of HTS tape is carried out in this paper. Firstly, the influence law of parameters of the number of HTS tapes per layer and the number of HTS tape layers on their transverse compression performance are analysed independently. The results indicate that increasing the number of HTS tapes per layer and the number of HTS tape layers can both improve the transverse compression performance of CORC cables. Whereas, in the case of a cable with a certain critical current demand (the same total number of HTS tapes), increasing the number of HTS tape layers necessarily reduces the number of HTS tapes per layer. Therefore, in order to compare the degree of influence of the above two parameters, we conducted transverse compression experiments on multiple groups of CORC cables with different winding methods (more layers with few tapes per layer or few layers with more tapes per layer) under the same critical current demand. The results show that under the same critical current demand, choosing the winding method that reduces the number of HTS tape layers and increases the number HTS tapes per layer can effectively improve the transverse compression performance of CORC cables. A 3D multilayer CORC cable transverse compression finite element model is also established to explain the inherent reasons for the differences in transverse compression performance of CORC cables under different HTS tape winding methods.

Abstract
Despite its amazing quantitative successes and contributions to revolutionary technologies, physics currently faces many unsolved mysteries ranging from the meaning of quantum mechanics to the nature of the dark energy that will determine the future of the Universe. It is clearly prohibitive for the general reader, and even the best informed physicists, to follow the vast number of technical papers published in the thousands of specialized journals. For this reason, we have asked the leading experts across many of the most important areas of physics to summarise their global assessment of some of the most important issues. In lieu of an extremely long abstract summarising the contents, we invite the reader to look at the section headings and their authors, and then to indulge in a feast of stimulating topics spanning the current frontiers of fundamental physics from ‘The Future of Physics’ by William D Phillips and ‘What characterises topological effects in physics?’ by Gerard ’t Hooft through the contributions of the widest imaginable range of world leaders in their respective areas. This paper is presented as a preface to exciting developments by senior and young scientists in the years that lie ahead, and a complement to the less authoritative popular accounts by journalists.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
This article uses the maximum likelihood technique, the bootstrap method, and the Markov chain Monte Carlo method to estimate the process capability index (C

py
) for the generalised inverted exponential distribution. These methods are all based on the progressive Type-II censoring scheme. In reliability analysis, the generalised inverted exponential distribution is a frequently used distribution, and the C

py
is a critical tool in statistical process control. The manuscript proposes a comparative study of the three methods for estimating C

py
, and their performance is evaluated using simulation studies. Furthermore, three examples of real data is examined to show all the estimation approaches. The results demonstrate that all three methods can provide accurate estimates of C

py
, with the Markov chain Monte Carlo method having an advantage in providing more information on the uncertainty of the estimates. The manuscript concludes that the proposed methods can be useful in practice for estimating C

py
for the generalised inverted exponential distribution based on progressive Type-II censoring scheme, providing an objective measure of process performance and helping organizations to optimize their production processes.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The disk around MWC 480 has shown multiple substructures in both dust and gas observations, possibly suggesting ongoing planet formation in situ. In this paper, we explore the gas kinematics of the MWC 480 disk by analyzing the archival Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of 12CO (J = 2-1), 13CO (J = 2-1), and C18O (J = 2-1). By modeling the line-of-sight velocities, inferred from the Doppler shifts of the emission lines, we are able to decompose the three-dimensional (3D) velocity field of the disk into rotational, radial, and vertical components. Further analysis reveals the presence of large-scale gas flows in the (r, z) plane. Notably, we identify potential meridional flows across various heights as traced by all three CO isotopologues in the 80–120 au region, possibly associated with ongoing planet formation activities in this region. Moreover, we find upward flows near 200 au for all three CO isotopologues, which may point to the presence of disk winds.

Abstract
The northern part of Semarang is known as a region having a thick depth of soft clay. In the construction of sheet pile wall for Terboyo Retention Pond dike Semarang must take into account stability aspect and financial aspect. The characteristic of granular soil is different from that of cohesive soil, and the stability aspect relies on the type of soil. This study aims to investigate the influence of the type of soils where sheet pile embedded to the theoretical depth of cantilever sheet pile wall. This research used the soil data from Terboyo Retention Pond of Semarang. Modelling of wall was differentiated based on the type of soil where sheet pile embedded whereas the type of soil above the dredge line was the same. Two type of soils where sheet pile embedded, clay and sand were modelled. The variation of soil parameters of both soils was also modelled. Safety factor for clay soil was taken 1.5. The result shows that different soil in which wall embedded give significant difference of length of sheet pile. Based on N-SPT, with the same N-SPT value theoretical depth of cantilever sheet pile wall in sand soil is deeper than that of in clay soil.

Abstract
Sakra 4-way intersection is one of the unsignalled intersections in East Lombok. At certain times of the day, there are frequent traffic jams and queues of moving vehicles at this intersection because the area surrounding the intersection is a commercial area, as evidenced by the presence of settlements, markets, mosques, village heads’ offices, shops, and other shopping centers. This research aims to determine the movement of traffic flow at the 4-way Sakra intersections in East Lombok using Vissim software modeling. Data collection was obtained from literature studies and direct surveys at the research site. Direct questionnaires at the research location and literature reviews were used to collect data. Using PTV VISSIM software modeling, the intersection of Sakra East Lombok was modeled under the current conditions on Monday and Sunday. The results showed that values for Monday were Queue Length (Qlen) 34.77 m and Tundaan (VehDelay) 19.95 sec / skr. The value of Tundaan (VehDelay) on Sundays is 16.68 sec/skr, the value of Queue Length (Qlen) on Sundays is 23.76 m, and the service level of the junction (LOS) on Monday and Sunday is C (not good). And for the movement of vehicle flow passing at intersection 4 Sakra East Lombok, which indicates the density of vehicles traffic flow is moderate, internal traffic barriers begin to affect speed and drivers still have adequate discretion over their speed and the lane they use on the road.

Authors: Ariyanto A S , Wahyudi S I , Mukhlisin M 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Hydraulic structures, such as dams, spillways, and tunnels, suffer from severe abrasion and erosion due to the continuous flow of water and particles carried away. Such damage will result in expensive operating and maintenance of hydraulic structures. The purpose of this review is to discuss various abrasion testing methods as well as various efforts enhancing abrasion resistance, such as adding silica fume, and fibers, improving quality, and using geopolymers. In conclusion, the development of dry geopolymer methods offers great potential for use because they are more practical than wet geopolymer systems, however, the brittle nature of geopolymers is a weak point, which can be addressed by adding composite materials, such as ramie fiber. With the expectation that the matrix of composite geopolymer mortar with ramie fiber will have good abrasion resistance. Further research and development are needed to address existing challenges and establish this innovative construction material as a viable solution for sustainable hydraulic applications.

Authors: Sudarsono I 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Concrete is a common material used in marine structures. Cement, as a concrete-forming substance, contributes to global CO2 emissions. Reducing cement by adding Silica Fume transforms concrete into green concrete without reducing its quality. Concrete construction in the marine area is commonly affected by abrasive factors such as water penetration, waves, and sea currents. Concrete materials have good quality, as shown by their mechanical properties. This study examined how Silica Fume affected the mechanical characteristics of concrete. The specimens were made with variations of Silica Fume 5%, 7%, and 10% by weight of Cement, then cured with seawater. Tests are carried out for mechanical properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength, permeability, and abrasion mass loss. The test results showed that the compressive and flexural strength values achieved good results, and the weight loss and abrasion coefficient values were better than ordinary concrete.

Published: April 2024

AbstractThe need for housing makes suburban areas of Jakarta such as Tangerang Regency, Indonesia, a location that continues to grow. AG Housing is a developer in the area that continues to build housing. In housing development, it is very important to pay attention to the magnitude of water needs, both domestic water needs and non-domestic water needs. A problem that often occurs is that housing developers do not take into account the long-term water needs of their residents, especially in water-scarce areas. Developers often do not check the condition and location of water content in the soil, resulting in water drilling being inefficient and wasteful. The aim of this research is to predict the clean water needs of residents of a housing complex and assess the condition of the water supply below the ground surface using the properties of electric current by flowing DC electric current. The method used in this research is a survey method and geoelectric analysis. This approach involves harnessing the characteristics of electrical current and directing it into the earth. Geoelectric measurements took a sample of 19 Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) measurement points with North South and East West trajectories in the area. The research results show that there will be an increase in population and an increase in water demand in TA Housing in the next 20 years. Geoelectrical analysis shows the type of soil and rock below the ground surface that will be used as a housing location. Geoelectric testing showed 8 potential points as drilled well locations with a sand layer thickness of between 36.26 m – 62.28 m, while the depth from the ground surface was between 1.01 m – 70.00 m.

Abstract
The bridge approach road embankment has a very important role as a link between the road and the bridge. In the post-construction stage, there are many cases of bridge approach road embankments, especially those with high elevations, potentially experiencing differential settlement. To overcome this, an analysis and planning study was carried out in increasing stability and overcoming the differential decline that occurred in the bridge approach road structure, especially in the approach slab structure with the end of the bridge. So that a bridge approach road model was developed as a substitute for the mass of soil embankment by conducting experiments and making a prototype of the Precast Concrete-cell Box structure model, which was given the maximum repetition and gradual plan load. While the method used in this research is the prototype model method, by conducting loading and settlement experiments on the bridge approach, especially on the approach slab. Furthermore, analysis and simulation are carried out under the condition of reaction force and maximum loading. From the results of the analysis, in the loading test of 2,761.00 kg, 2,717.00 kg 2,974.00 kg on the prototype model, the value of the decrease in LVDT 1-2-3 was 0.00 mm, the loading test of 3,956.00 kg and 3,887.00 kg obtained the value of the decrease in LVDT 1 and LVDT 3 of 0.00 mm and LVDT 2 obtained a decrease value of -0.01 mm which indicates a bending / deflection occurs in the approach slab structure, but it is still safe and no structure is required..
Utilization of Fly Ash and Bottom Ash Waste of PLTU Jeranjang on Geopolymer Paving

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Waste is produced as fly ash and bottom ash from coal-fired power stations. PLTU in West Nusa Tenggara uses 13,000 tons of coal in one month, so it can be estimated that Fly Ash waste will be produced around 1,950-2,210 tons. Geopolymer concrete utilizes fly ash as an adhesive to replace Portland cement. Fly ash is used to make geopolymer concrete, which is created by polymerization reactions caused by alkali-aluminosilicate reactions that result in materials with strong structures. In this study, the ratio of the composition of the weight ratio of paste (fly ash and alkaline solution) with aggregate was 35:65. The aggregates used are sand and bottom ash. The test object is a prototype paving block with a specific dimension of 10cm x 21cm x 6cm. Mechanical testing using compressive strength and water absorption testing with a specimen life of 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Testing of bottom ash and fly ash characteristics in the form of XRF testing. The XRF test results found that the bottom ash and fly ash of PLTU Jeranjang belonged to class F. The average test result of compressive strength at the age of 28 days for mix designs A, B, and C was 8.54 MPa, respectively; 10.29 MPa; and 16.10 MPa. Quality geopolymer paving can be applied to gardens and other interiors used. Another result of the absorption value of Mix design C of 8% shows the addition of fly ash can be utilized in place of some of the used cement in paving blocks that satisfy SNI 03-0691-1996 Quality C criteria.
