    This paper presents the mathematical and computational formulations of the stochastic Vortex Blobs Method (VBM). It isshow that how the method can be used to cover axisymmetric flows of incompressible viscous fluid. Also, the initialboundary problem is solved by using the Lagrangian vortex method. This method seems to be an extension of the well known two dimensional vortex blob method. When applying and extending this method two steps are required. First, wehave to design an axisymmetric vorticity carrier by using the standard functions as complete elliptic integrals and Legendre polynomials. Second, it is necessary to formulate the appropriate Neumann problem and boundary integral equation to find the potential velocity fields. Both steps are used to describe and compute the total velocity field and formulate the Ito stochastic equations which describing the motion of vorticity carriers

    Proses pengambilan minyak mentah diperlukan berbagai cara agar minyak yang terkandung di bawah permukaan dapat di angkat keatas permukaan. Pada awalnya proses pengangkatan terjadi dengan sendirinya yaitu dengan menggunakan tenaga pendorong (tekanan) yang berasal dari reservoir itu sendiri (Natural Flow). Seiring berjalannya waktu, tenaga yang berasal dari reservoir mulai menurun dan tidak mampu mengangkat fluida ke permukaan maka diperlukan tenaga pendorong buatan (Artificial Lift), sucker rod adalah salah satu metode Artificial Lift yang paling umum di gunakan pada sumur-sumur yang sudah tidak mampu mengalir dengan sendirinya. Pada sumur X menggunakan sucker rod type C-160D-169-64 dengan ukuran plunger 2 Âľ, stroke length (panjang langkah) 64 in dan kecepatan pemompaan 8.33 SPM, menghasilkan kapasitas pompa 437 BPD di peroleh laju produksi sebesar 250.43 BPD memiliki efisiensi volumetric 57%, karena laju produksi belum optimal dan masih dapat di tingkatkan maka di lakukan evaluasi. Setelah dilakukan evaluasi terhadap pompa terpasang maka di peroleh type pompa yang sama C-160D-169-64 namum dilakukan perubahan terhadap kecepatan pemompaan 20 SPM pada panjang langkah tetap 64 in sehingga laju produksi yang ditargetkan menjadi 355 BFPD. Pada hasil analisa dynamometer untuk beban-beban yang diderita polished rod pada sumur x menunjukkan beban maksimum sebesar 7.8 Klb (7800 lb) dan beban minimum 1.47 Klb (1470 lb) dengan melihat besarnya yang diderita polished rod, maka pompa sucker rod terpasang type C-160D-169-64 masih mampu menahan beban-beban tersebut

    Phosphatidylinositol synthesis, its selective salvage, and inter-regulation of anionic phospholipids in Toxoplasma gondii

    Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) serves as an integral component of eukaryotic membranes; however, its biosynthesis in apicomplexan parasites remains poorly understood. Here we show that Toxoplasma gondii—a common intracellular pathogen of humans and animals—can import and co-utilize myo-inositol with the endogenous CDP-diacylglycerol to synthesize PtdIns. Equally, the parasite harbors a functional PtdIns synthase (PIS) containing a catalytically-vital CDP-diacylglycerol phosphotransferase motif in the Golgi apparatus. Auxin-induced depletion of PIS abrogated the lytic cycle of T. gondii in human cells due to defects in cell division, gliding motility, invasion, and egress. Isotope labeling of the PIS mutant in conjunction with lipidomics demonstrated de novo synthesis of specific PtdIns species, while revealing the salvage of other lipid species from the host cell. Not least, the mutant showed decline in phosphatidylthreonine, and elevation of selected phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylglycerol species, indicating a rerouting of CDP-diacylglycerol and homeostatic inter-regulation of anionic phospholipids upon knockdown of PIS. In conclusion, strategic allocation of own and host-derived PtdIns species to gratify its metabolic demand features as a notable adaptive trait of T. gondii. Conceivably, the dependence of T. gondii on de novo lipid synthesis and scavenging can be exploited to develop new anti-infectives.Ren et al. investigated how the obligate intracellular pathogen Toxoplasma gondii satisfies its requirement of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns). They show that this parasite can synthesize certain PtdIns species de novo and salvages others from human host cells. Endogenous production of PtdIns in the Golgi complex is critical for the acute infection, and its loss perturbs homeostasis of selected anionic phospholipids.Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) https://doi.org/10.13039/501100001659Peer Reviewe

    Kegiatan eksplorasi dan produksi minyak dan gas bumi merupakan kegiatan yang mempunyai potensi menyebabkan pencemaran dan kerusakan lingkungan. Di beberapa tempat di Indonesia kegiatan produksi ini dilakukan dengan cara tradisional, salah satunya yang berada di Desa Wonocolo, Kecamatan Kedewan, Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Limbah terbesar yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan ini adalah air terproduksi. Penggunaan alat yang sederhana dalam proses produksi dan pembuangan air limbah tanpa di lengkapi IPAL menyebabkan kegiatan penambangan secara tradisional ini menambah besar potensi terjadinya pencemaran terhadap kualitas air sungai. Sungai Bungsu dan Sungai Kragsaan adalah sungai penerima air limbah air terproduksi dari kegiatan penambangan tradisional minyak bumi di Desa Wonocolo. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis konsentrasi buangan air limbah yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan penambangan tradisional minyak bumi pada sumur tua di Desa Wonocolo, menganalisis kualitas air sungai akibat kegiatan penambangan tradisional minyak bumi pada sumur tua di Desa Wonocolo dan memberikan rekomendasi pengendalian pencemaran air sungai. Metode penelitian menggunakan Indeks Pencemaran sesuai Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup No.115 Tahun 2003 dan rekomendasi upaya pengendalian pencemaran air dengan metode analisis SWOT. Kegiatan penambangan tradisional minyak bumi di Desa Wonocolo menghasilkan konsentrasi air terproduksi yang masih melebihi baku mutu sesuai Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup No. 19 Tahun 2010. Parameter yang terlampaui yaitu TDS, COD, NH3-N, minyak dan lemak. Kualitas air Sungai Bungsu dan Sungai Kragsaan setelah menerima air terproduksi kegiatan penambangan minyak bumi termasuk kategori tidak memenuhi baku mutu untuk air kelas II sebagaimana terlampir dalam PP No.82 Tahun 2001. Parameter yang terlampaui untuk baku mutu kelas II yaitu parameter TSS, TDS, DO, COD, BOD, NH3-N, H2S, Fenol, Minyak dan Lemak. Kegiatan penambangan tradisional minyak bumi menjadi faktor terlampauinya baku mutu beberapa parameter karena mempunyai sumber tetap dalam kegiatan tersebut. Status mutu air Sungai Bungsu dan Sungai Kragsaan berdasarkan Metode Indeks Pencemaran untuk kelas air kelas II pada bagian hulu termasuk kategori baik, sedangkan pada bagian hilir setelah menerima air limbah kegiatan penambangan mempunyai kategori Cemar Sedang. Strategi pengendalian pencemaran air sungai dapat dilakukan dengan cara melakukan pengelolaan air limbah dengan membangun IPAL; membuat dan menyusun dokumen UKL-UPL; menetapkan daya tampung beban pencemaran; serta meningkatkan pemantauan kualitas air sungai. Kata kunci : penambangan minyak bumi, air terproduksi, kualitas air, Indeks Pencemaran Oil and gas exploration and production activities are activities that have the potential to cause pollution and environmental damage. In some places in Indonesia this production activity is done in the traditional way, one of which is in Wonocolo Village, Kedewan Sub-district, Bojonegoro District. The largest waste generated from this activity is produced water . The use of simple tools in the production process and disposal of waste water without being equipped with wastewater treatment plant causes this traditional mining activity to increase the potential for pollution to the quality of river water. The Bungsu River and Kragsaan River are the recipients of produced water from the traditional petroleum mining activities in Wonocolo Village. The purpose of this study is to analyze the concentration of waste water discharges generated from the traditional mining activities of petroleum in an old well in Wonocolo Village, to analyze the quality of river water due to the traditional mining activities of petroleum in the old wells in Wonocolo Village and to recommend the control of river water pollution. The research method used pollution index according to the Minister of Environment Decree No.115 Year 2003 and recommendation of effort of water pollution control with SWOT analysis method. Traditional oil mining activities in Wonocolo Village resulted in concentrations of produced water that still exceeded the quality standard in accordance with Minister of Environment Regulation no. 19 of 2010. Parameters exceeded are TDS, COD, NH3-N, oils and grease. The water quality of Bungsu River and Kragsaan River after receiving the water produced by the petroleum mining activities including the category does not meet the water quality standard for class II as enclosed in Government Regulation No.82 of 2001. The parameters exceeded for the class II standard are TSS, TDS, DO , COD, BOD, NH3-N, H2S, Phenol, Oils and Grease. The traditional petroleum mining activity becomes a factor over the quality of some parameters because it has a fixed source in the activity. The status of water quality of Bungsu River and Kragsaan River based on Method of Pollution Index for water class II on the upstream including good category, while downstream after receiving waste water mining activity have moderately polluted. The strategy of controlling river water pollution can be done by wastewater management by building WWTP; preparing and compiling UKL- UPL documents; determine the pollution load capacity; and improving river water quality monitoring.
