Indonesia has had seismic codes for earthquake-resistant structures designs since 1970 and has been updated five times to the latest in 2019. In updating the Indonesian seismic codes, seismic hazard maps for design also update, and there are changes to the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA). Indonesian seismic design uses the concept of building performance levels consisting of Immediate occupancy (IO), Life Safety (LS), and Collapse Prevention (CP). Related to this performance level, cases still found that buildings were damaged more than their performance targets after the earthquake. Based on the above issues, this study aims to analyze the performance of base isolation design on existing target buildings and analyze the seismic fragility for a case study in Indonesia. The target building is a prototype design 8-story medium-rise residential building using the reinforced concrete moment frame structure. Seismic fragility analysis uses Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) with Nonlinear Time History Analysis (NLTHA) and eleven selected ground motions based on soil classification, magnitude, fault distance, and earthquake source mechanism. The comparison result of IDA shows a trend of significant performance improvement, with the same performance level target and risk category, the base isolation structure can be used at 1.46-3.20 times higher PGA than the fixed base structure. Then the fragility analysis results show that the fixed base structure has a safety margin of 30% and a base isolation structure of 62.5% from the PGA design. This result is useful for assessing existing buildings or considering a new building's performance.

For the development of technique for isolation of naked barley starch from Youngsan variety, optimum conditions of the isolation process were investigated. The effect of blending was examined and the results showed that 29.7% starch yield was obtained by 6 times of blending. After the blending, the barley starch contained 3.2% protein, 0.7% fat, 0.4% fiber, 0.4% ash and 2.8% ${eta}$-glucan. The opitmum conditions of ${eta}$-glucanase treatment were studied and the results showed that the amount of ${eta}$-glucanase and barley flour-water ratio were 60,000 unit and 1/2, the optimum steeping temperature, pH were $45^{\circ}C$ and 6.5, respectively. The effect of alkali treatment which would be supposed to increase the yield and purity of the barley starch was also examined. 76.7% starch content was obtained by 2 hr of alkali treatment. After all the treatment of isolation process, the barley starch finally contained 0.2% protein and 0.1% ${eta}$-glucan.

In order to obtain balanced ports matching and isolation between balanced ports of a Marchand balun, a compact isolation network is proposed. The proposed compact isolation network is designed using composite right/left-hand (CRLH) transmission line and compact phase inverter using CRLH transmission line unit cell. Also, design method and analysis of proposed isolation network are presented. The sizes of the proposed isolation networks are significantly reduced to $0.11{\lambda}_g$ and $0.07{\lambda}_g$ compared with the conventional isolation network of $0.5{\lambda}_g$. The Marchand balun is operated at 2.45 GHz and is demonstrated through excellent experimental results.

We consider a double faults detection and isolation problem using modified extended parity space approach for inertial measurement unit which use redundant inertial sensors. A redundant IMU which has a hardware redundant is composed of the cone shape because it is good for fault detection and isolation. We analyze the type of double faults and the reason why fault isolation performance is low. We propose modified extended parity space approach method using EPSA and the difference of sensor data.

The Gate-Induced-Drain-Leakage (GIDL) current with channel doping and width dependence are characterized. The GIDL currents are found to increase in MOSFETs with higher channel doping levels and the observed GIDL current is generated by the band-to-band-tunneling (BTBT) of electron through the reverse-biased channel-to-drain p-n junction. A BTBT model is used to fit the measured GIDL currents under different channel-doping levels. Good agreement is obtained between the modeled results and experimental data. The increase of the GIDL current at narrower widths in mainly caused by the stronger gate field at the edge of the shallow trench isolation (STI). As channel width decreases, a larger portion of the GIDL current is generated at the channel-isolation edge. Therefore, the stronger gate field at the channel-isolation edge causes the total unit-width GIDL current to increases for narrow-width devices.

Purpose: The effectiveness of an infection control program is important to hospital quality improvement and decreases of mortality rate and prevalence. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most common pathogen causing nosocomial infection. The aim of the study was to identify the most important risk factors for acquiring an MRSA, to evaluate the MRSA incidence rates after the nursing intervention in Neurosurgery intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: Clinical data were collected prospectively from December 2008 until July 2009 in Neurosurgery ICU. The patients were divided into preintervention and postintervention groups. An infection was defined as an MRSA if it occurred 48 hr after admission to the Unit. Infection control program including hand washing, education of health care workers about MRSA, standard precaution and contact isolation of patients were applied for three month. Results: A total of 85 patients were included in the study. Forty-five patients of S. aurerus were detected. Among 45 of S. aurerus, MRSA were isolated from 38 patients. The incidence MRSA rate of postintervention group was 26.9% while incidence MRSA rate of preintervention group was 66.7%. In total, The incidence MRSA rate was 44.7%. The incidence of MRSA have decreased in the postintervention as compared with the preintervention group. Conclusion: The infection control program for MRSA was effective to decrease the MRSA isolation rate. The health care workers regular hand washing, education of nosocomial infection control is important enough to be emphasized.

The production cost of biodiesel from microalgae is still not competitive, compared with that of petroleum fuels. The genetic improvement of microalgal strains to increase triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation is one way to reduce production costs. One of the most promising approaches is the isolation of starch-deficient mutants, which have been reported to successfully increase TAG yields. To date, such a stable mutant is not available in an oleaginous marine microalga, despite several advantages of using marine species for biodiesel production. Algae in the genus Dunaliella are known to tolerate high salt concentration and other environmental stresses. In addition, the cultivation processes for large-scale outdoor commercialization have been well established for this genus. In this study, Dunaliella tertiolecta was used to screen for starch-deficient mutants, using an iodine vapor-staining method. Four out of 20,016 UV-mutagenized strains showed a substantial reduction of starch content. A significantly higher TAG content, up to 3-fold of the wild-type level, was observed in three of the mutants upon induction by nitrogen depletion. The carotenoid production and growth characteristics of these mutants, under both normal and oxidative stress conditions, were not compromised, suggesting that these processes are not necessarily affected by starch deficiency. The results from this work open up new possibilities for exploring Dunaliella for biodiesel production.

In the course of searching for PAF receptor antagonists, pregomisin (1) and chamigrenal (2) were isolated from the fruits of Schizandra chinensis Baill by the bioactivity-guided isolation. Both compounds showed PAF antagonistic activity and the $IC_{50}$ values were $4.8{\times}10^{-5} M and 1.2{\times}10^{-4}M,$ respectively. In addition, the $^{13}C$ NMR assignments of 1 and 2 using DEPT, HMQC, COLOC and HMBC were reported for the first time.

MT 51005 as a potent inhibitor of phospholipase C(PLC) was purified from the culture broth of a fungal strain No. 51005 isolated from soil. It was identified as a benzaldehyde d erivative, anguillosporal. by the physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic data. Anguillosporal showed the inhibitory activity against purified PLC with an $IC_{50}\;of\;13{\mu}g/ml$. And it also inhibited the formation of inositol phosphates($IP_t$) in platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF)-stimulated $NIH3T3{\gamma}1$ cells with an $IC_{50}\;of\;0.8{\mu}g/ml$.
