Combining of the high spatial resolution of a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope and the wealth of information from the secondary electrons and Auger spectra opens up new possibilities for materials research. In a prototype instrument at the Delft University of Technology we have shown that it is possible from the optical point of view to combine STEM and Auger spectroscopy [1]. With an Electron Energy Loss Spectrometer attached to the microscope it also became possible to perform coincidence measurements between the secondary electron signal and the EELS signal. We measured Auger spectra of carbon aluminium and Argon gas showing energy resolutions better than 1eV [2]. The coincidence measurements on carbon with a time resolution of 5 ns yielded basic insight in secondary electron emission processes [3]. However, for serious Auger spectroscopy, the specimen needs to be in Ultra High Vacuum. ( 10−10 Torr ). At this moment a new setup is in its last phase of construction.

In terms of geology, most areas in south of the Gunungkidul District in Central Java consist of the Wonosari formation limestone. The land is generally very dry and source of raw water is also difficult to reach. Findings on the existence of underground river in caves, however, indicate the potential amount of water within the area, especially in the eastern part of the Gunungkidul District. Although limited information available, some fishermen have discovered that Seropan cave contains fresh water source. This cave is situated at 65 m below the cliff. Initial exploration, which done using a multichannel resistivity method, confirmed the availability of freshwater in the cave and underground river. The isopach of cave depth is found in ranges of 80 200 m below the ground surface. The water of Seropan cave can be utilized by implementing pipeline or by drilling at the suggested point based on the interpretation results, i.e. 110o2223.6388 EL 8o42.874 SL.

An investigation had been done to Tetragonula (Tetragona) sp nest at Indralaya, South Sumatra to describe the Tetragonula sp nest that use streetlight pole as nest medium during April - May 2019. Purpossive sampling is used to select the target nest. Two streetlight pole found be used by Tetragonula sp as their home. The coordinate of location, heght from ground surface, diameter of streetlight pole, air temperature and humidity, and floral species around nest, were noted. Spot coordinate are S 30 14’ 19.2498’’ and E 1040 39’ 15,3288’’ ; 1,5 m above the ground surface, 12 cm diameter pole, highest air temperature was 35 o C at daylight (April and May 2019), 80 – 90 % humidity at April-May 2019; which Switenia macrophyla, Hevea brasiliensis, Zea mays, and Citrullus lanatus floral species are planted around. Air temperature in the pole is very high, around 40 0 C during daylight.

Existing methods for estimating the bending stresses of buried pipeline section based on the survey data for the depth of the axis of the pipeline from the ground surface are characterized by a large error between the real values of the bending stress and the values of the bending stress obtained from the calculation results based on the survey data. The purpose of this study is to improve the methodology for calculating the bending stresses of buried pipeline section based on the results of determining the depth of the axis of the pipeline from the ground surface, taking into account the design features of the pipeline and the used search equipment. Mathematical models are proposed that allow for the set value of the maximum error in determining bending stresses for a particular pipeline to choose the optimal measurement step before the survey, which will allow to reduce the error. Explanations are given on the choice of the maximum step of the study based on the strength characteristics of the pipeline. A calculation is provided that confirms the adequacy of the developed mathematical models and the possibility of their application in practice.

The results of modeling the processes of receiving and processing the signals of remote sensing of the Earth’s surface using helicopter radar and synthesizing the antenna aperture due to its placement on the rotating rotor blades are presented. The mathematical correctness of the application of the developed algorithms for processing probing signals, as well as the uniqueness of the measurements, was confirmed. At the same time, the dimensions of the synthesized aperture due to the rotation of the radiator placed at the end of the propeller blade are equivalent to a circular antenna array with a diameter of tens of meters. The functionality of the remote sensing system based on this radar meets the requirements for ice observation and navigation systems for seagoing ships off the coast. The simulation results confirm the promise of further research in this direction and can be used in the development of radar systems with synthesized antenna aperture mounted on rotating rotor blades.
