AbstrakPengujian unjuk kerja pompa sentrifugal multistage berkapasitas 118,5 kW di kawasan Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Panas Bumi (PLTP) daerah Jawa Barat saat ini akan menyesuaikan prosedur standar. Standar pengujian pompa diterapkan pada proses pengujian pompa dengan tujuan nilai hasil pengujian valid. Nilai head dan debit yang didapat dari pengujian dibandingkan dengan hasil pengujian sebelum penerapan standar. Pengujian pompa sentrifugal menerapkan metode pengujian lapangan dengan menerapkan standar ISO 9906-2012. Standar ISO 9906-2012 adalah panduan baku pengujian pompa rotodinamik. Dari hasil pengujian, didapatkan kurva pompa sentrifugal multistage debit maksimal 116,64 m3/h pada head 275,13 m. Pada data spesifikasi kapasitas pompa sebesar 108 m3/jam dan head total sebesar 300 m. Hal ini berarti prosedur pengujian pompa ISO 9906-2012 dapat memungkinkan kita untuk melihat kinerja pompa aktual.Kata kunci: pompa sentrifugal, pengujian lapangan, uji kinerja pompa, ISO 9906  AbstractPerformance test of multistage centrifugal pump at geothermal power plant area around west java is about to adapt standard procedure. Pump testing standards are applied during pump performance test in order to valid test result values. Head and flowrate value from current test compared with previous test result before standard are applied. Pump performance test use field test method by applying ISO 9906-2012 standard. ISO 9906-2012 standard is a normative guidance for rotodynamic pump testing. The test result shows multistage centrifugal pump curve maximum flowrate is 116,64 m3/h at total head 275,13 m. Pump specification sheet shows that maximum capacity is 108 m3/h and total head 300 m. It indicates that ISO 9906-2012 standard pump testing procedure allow us to determine actual pump performance.Kata kunci: Centrifugal pump, field test, performance test, ISO 9906

Extended AbstractRecent numerical simulations lead to the result that turbulence is much more magnetically driven than believed. In particular the role ofmagnetic buoyancyappears quite important for the generation ofα-effect and angular momentum transport (Brandenburg & Schmitt 1998). We present results obtained for a turbulence field driven by a (given) Lorentz force in a non-stratified but rotating convection zone. The main result confirms the numerical findings of Brandenburg & Schmitt that in the northern hemisphere theα-effect and the kinetic helicityℋkin= 〈u′ · rotu′〉 are positive (and negative in the northern hemisphere), this being just opposite to what occurs for the current helicityℋcurr= 〈j′ ·B′〉, which is negative in the northern hemisphere (and positive in the southern hemisphere). There has been an increasing number of papers presenting observations of current helicity at the solar surface, all showing that it isnegativein the northern hemisphere and positive in the southern hemisphere (see Rüdigeret al. 2000, also for a review).

The insertion of implanted venous access systems for children undergoing prolonged courses of chemotherapy has become a common procedure in pediatric surgical oncology. While not permanently implanted, the devices are expected to remain functional until cure of the primary disease is assured. Despite careful patient selection and standardised insertion and access techniques, some devices fail. The most commonly encountered problems are colonisation of the device with bacteria and catheter occlusion. Both of these difficulties relate to the development of a biofilm within the port and catheter. The morphology and evolution of biofilms in indwelling vascular catheters is the subject of ongoing investigation. To date, however, such investigations have been confined to the examination of fragments of biofilm scraped or sonicated from sections of catheter. This report describes a novel method for the extraction of intact biofilms from indwelling catheters.15 children with Wilm’s tumour and who had received venous implants were studied. Catheters were removed because of infection (n=6) or electively at the end of chemotherapy.

We recently proposed a novel method that aggregates the multidimensional aging pattern across the brain to a single value. This method proved to provide stable and reliable estimates of brain aging – even across different scanners. While investigating longitudinal changes in BrainAGE in about 400 elderly subjects, we discovered that patients with Alzheimer’s disease and subjects who had converted to AD within 3 years showed accelerated brain atrophy by +6 years at baseline. An additional increase in BrainAGE accumulated to a score of about +9 years during follow-up. Accelerated brain aging was related to prospective cognitive decline and disease severity. In conclusion, the BrainAGE framework indicates discrepancies in brain aging and could thus serve as an indicator for cognitive functioning in the future.

A novel method will be described for the preparation and purification of fibrin(ogen) degradation products in high yields. The high yields are due to two factors. on the one hand an improved preparation method in which the size heterogeneity of the degradation products D is strongly reduced by plasmin digestion at well-controlled calcium concentrations. At calcium concentrations of 2mM exclusively D fragments, M.W.= 93-000 (Dcate) were formed; in the presence of 1OmM EGTA only fragments M.W.= 80.000 (D EGTA) were formed as described. on the other hand a new purification method, which includes Sephadex G-200 filtration to purify the D:E complexes and separation of the D and E fragments by a 16 hrs. preparative isoelectric focussing. The latter step gives a complete separation of D (fragments) (pH = 6.5) and E fragments (at pH = 4.5) without any overlap, thus allowing a nearly 100% recovery in this step. The overall recoveries are around 75% of the theoretical values. These recoveries are superior to those of existing procedures. Moreover the conditions of this purification procedure are very mild and probably do not affect the native configuration of the products. Amino-terminal amino acids of human Dcate, D EGTA and D-dimer are identical i.e. val, asx and ser. in the ratgly, asx and ser were found. E 1% for rat Dcate=17-8 for rat D EGTA=16.2 and for rat D- dimer=l8.3. for the corresponding human fragments, these values were all 20.0 ± 0.2.
