Published: January 2025

Introduction:
This study introduces basil seeds as a novel, low-cost, and environmentally
friendly adsorbent for the removal of ciprofloxacin from aqueous solutions. The primary innovation
of this work lies in the use of readily available basil seeds, which have not been widely explored for
this purpose, to achieve high adsorption capacity and efficiency.

Method:
The adsorption process was systematically optimized by adjusting parameters such as time,
temperature, pH, and ciprofloxacin concentration, with results showing maximum adsorption at 40
minutes, 70°C, and pH 7. Additionally, the study investigates the influence of interfering factors like
competing ions and organic matter in water, providing a more realistic assessment of the material’s
effectiveness.

Result:
The findings demonstrate that basil seeds offer a promising alternative to conventional adsorbents,
presenting both environmental and economic advantages for water treatment applications.

Conclusion:
This work significantly advances current knowledge by proposing a sustainable solution
for pharmaceutical pollutant removal from contaminated water.

Authors: Hmedat Ali N. , Morejon Micjel C. , Rivera Daniel G. , Pantelic Nebojsa Đ. , Wessjohann Ludger A. , Kaluderovic Goran N. 
Published: January 2025

Objective:
In this study, 25 synthetic cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) were investigated for their anticancer
potential against mouse melanoma (B16F10) cells, human prostate cancer (PC-3), human colorectal adenocarcinoma
(HT-29) and mouse embryonic fibroblast (NIH3T3) cells.

Methods:
The cytotoxic activity of investigated compounds was evaluated using MTT and CV assays. In order to
examine the mechanism of action of the most potent compound cell cycle analysis, apoptosis assay, caspase activity,
CFSE and DHR staining, DAF-FM, autophagy and immunocytochemistry caspase-3 assays were performed.

Results:
During the fast screening, compound 9, was identified as prospective active CLP against B16F10 cell
line at 10 μM concentration. MTT and CV assays exhibited at least four times higher cytotoxic potential of 9
(IC50 = 8.4±1.3 μM, MTT; 10.6±1.1 μM, CV) in comparison to control drug natural occurring CLP surfactin
(IC50 = 50.3±0.6 μM, MTT; 40.4±0.3 μM, CV). The use of flow cytometry analysis confirmed that apoptosis
was involved in the death of B16F10 cells after treatment with 9, as demonstrated also by DAPI staining. Caspase
activity could be detected during cell death (ApoStat assay, immunocytochemistry caspase-3 assay). Compound 9
provokes enhancement of nitric oxide (NO) production in B16F10 cells but does not trigger ROS/RNS generation
or autophagy.

Conclusion:
The study highlights synthetic compound 9 superior tumor-specificity and potential as an anticancer
agent compared to surfactin and cisplatin. These findings could guide the development of more selective and less
harmful macrocyclic lipopeptides for cancer therapy.

Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) are increasingly prevalent electrical components
in display products, ranging from smartphones to diagonal flat panel TVs. The limitations in
existing TFT technologies, such as high-temperature processing, carrier mobility, lower ON/OFF
ratio, device mobility, and thermal stability, result in the search for new semiconductor materials
with superior properties.

Objective:
The main objective of this present work is to fabrícate the efficient Single-Walled Carbon
Nanotube Thin Film Transistor (TFT) for flat panel display.

Methods:
Carbon Nano-Tubes (CNTs) are a promising semiconductor material for TFT devices due
to their one-dimensional structure and exceptional characteristics. In this research work, the CNTTFTs
have been fabricated using nano-fabrication techniques with a spin process. The fabricated devices
have been characterized for structural, morphological, and electrical characteristics.

Results:
The 20 μm channel length and 30 μm channel width fabricated device produces about 1.3
nA, which lies in the practical range of operating TFTs reported previously. Compared to reported
patents and published works, this demonstrates a significant improvement.

QKRK FACTORIZATION FOR IMAGE COMPRESSION
Authors: Eckenberg Erik , Tunyan Knarik 
Published: January 2025

We store and exchange more digital images than ever before. Image qualities are often reduced to decrease the cost of storage and transfer of the images. Digital image compression is a technique that reduces the size of an image while preserving its quality to be acceptable for a particular purpose. Matrix factorizations are widely used for this purpose. This paper presents an application of the QKRK and block QKRK factorizations of a matrix to image compression. We have conducted a series of experiments using Matlab software. This paper presents the comparative analysis of the compressed images using the QR, SV D, QKRK, and block QKRK factorizations. The similarity between the original and compressed images is measured using the L2-norm and structural similarity. It is demonstrated that using the QKRK factorization for image compression allows the achievement of the desired quality of a fragment of the image compared to the rest of the image and is also computationally efficient.

Published: January 2025

Long bean production has decreased in Indonesia due to uncertain seasonal factors, such as long dry seasons and short rainy seasons. Long bean production has decreased due to inappropriate and optimal cultivation techniques. Several efforts can be made to overcome the problem of decreasing long bean productivity by fertilizing and applying growth regulators. The aim of this research is to understand the combined effect of KNO₃ fertilizer doses and paclobutrazol concentrations on the growth and yield of long bean plants. Thise research was conducted in Ketawang Village, Nganjuk, East Java. The research was a factorial experiment with Split Plot Design consisted of two treatment levels, namely KNO₃ fertilizer dose (0 g/plant, 8 g/plant, 10 g/plant and 12 g/plant) and paclobutrazol concentration (0 ppm, 150 ppm, 175 ppm and 200 ppm). The combination of 10 g/plant KNO₃ + 150 ppm paclobutrazol influences the growth and yield of long bean plants, however the application of KNO₃ fertilizer alone has no effect on the growth and yield of long bean plants.

Abstract. In the application development process, the deployment phase is a crucial step to ensure the application reaches its users. Frequent application development and repeated processes, even for minor changes, can be cumbersome. Automating this process can positively impact time management, allowing resources to be allocated to other tasks. Automating the deployment phase of application development leverages the implementation of continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD). This study uses a web application built with React, JavaScript, and MySQL. The services utilized include GCP Cloud Build for integration, building, testing, and deployment, and Compute Engine as the virtual machine (VM) running Ubuntu as the operating system. The implementation of CI/CD in this study demonstrates significant differences in efficiency compared to manual deployment in terms of time and resources. Regarding costs, analysis shows that saving time and resources through CI/CD results in lower operational expenses. Parallel use of CI/CD facilitates team collaboration in resolving code conflicts but imposes higher demands on resources and time.
