Abstract

The main objective of this research is to determine the effect of beating to physical, mechanical and optical properties of the paper. The pulp that is used in this research is pulp from Oil Palm Frond (OPF). Pulping method that was carried out in this research is the kraft pulping which was undergo in 4 different conditions (20% NaOH: 20% Na2S; 20% NaOH, 30% Na2S; 30% NaOH, 20% Na2S and 30% NaOH, 30% Na2S). The beating process is carried out using PFI Mill Beater and five amounts of beating were imposed to each pulp (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1500 rotations). From the result obtained, the freeness (CSF) of the pulp was decreased against the increasing amount of beating. The optimum amount of beating is at 1500 rotations for tensile strength (5981.1 N/m), bursting strength (660.72 kPa) and folding endurance (915). For tearing resistance (730.23 mN), the optimum amount of beating is at 250 rotations. Beating also contributes to reduce the brightness and the opacity too. The result show that suitable beating stage for kraft OPF pulp is at 1500 rotations, because almost all testing give optimum or closely to optimum result at this amount of beating.

Abstract

The fossil energy reservation decreases day by day, this situation impacted to the   energy crises especially fuel energy which is increasing in the price on over the world. The scientists/researchers are trying to develop the renewable energy (renewable fuel) as the energy  alternative, one of these called biodiesel. Taking the benefit from Jatropha curcas’ seed as raw  material         for the fuel is one of the alternative ways to reduce the fuel demand and also can save the  countries’   foreign exchange. J. curcas’ oil is renewable fuel and non edible oil, so that it will not  compete with oil   consumption, such as palm oil, corn oil, etc. The combination between Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (1-                   2 ppm) and Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) (0,5 and 1 ppm) for            micro propagation of Castrol oil plant (Jatropha curcas L.) was tried to induce the callus formation by using the meristem shoot as the explants. The result showed that the combination of NAA 1.5  ppm and BAP 0,5 ppm gave the best result for the callus formation.

Abstract

Candida albicans is a dimorphic fungus that can grow in a wide range of temperature. In such case, this microorganism has the potential to produce enzymes that able to function at elevated temperature. These enzymes are also essential in the field of molecular biology and recombinant technologies. Therefore, the enzymes produced by Candida albicans could be applied in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR is the most widely used in DNA amplification. In this study, Candida spp. were successfully isolated and collected from Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia. Different culture media were used to identify the morphology of colony. Based on the colonies growth on chromogenic agar, Candida sp. was identified. Microscopic examination (light and scanning microscopy) was carried out to identify the morphology of the isolate. A presumptive identification of germ tube test was performed to find out the dimorphic and pathogenicity characteristic of isolate. The formation of germ tubes from the isolate showed positive result of Candida albicans. A commercial Analytical Profile Index (API) Candida identification kit was used in this study as a phenotypic identification of Candida sp. The result of API Candida was confirmed that the isolate was the Candida albicans. Candida albicans was successfully isolated and identified phenotypically in this study for future in house helicase production.

Abstract

Marble goby (Oxyeleotris marmorata(Bleeker, 1852)) is a freshwater fish species with high demand on market. However, its culture is under production due to insufficient fish seeds. High mortality rate of goby juvenile in hatchery are obtained partly because of an unsuitable culture condition and lack of appropriate larval feed. Therefore, this study aims to improve growth performance and also survival rate of marble goby fingerlingsthrough the alteration of stocking density and shelter existence. After two months of experiment, the results showed that both factors had a positive role on growth performance and survival rate of marble goby fingerlings. Marble goby juveniles reared at 50 fish/m2 and 250 fish/m2 gained higher weight, length, and survival rate than the one reared at 500 fish/m2 (P0.05). Moreover, marble goby juveniles cultured with a shelter produced significantly higher length and weight gain (P0.05) than the fish without a shelter. The survival rate of the experimented fish also was higher in fish with shelter than without shelter but the difference was not significant (P0.05). In conclusion, it is suggested that the best stocking density for 0.17±0.01 g marble goby should be 250 fish/m2 coupled with a shelter. More environmental factors for marble goby culture such as photoperiod and light intensity are also under investigation.

Abstract

Configuration/Geometry definition, grid generation/mashing, and modeling in wing design and analysis process usually spend much time to support calculation by computer program. Much effort has been performed by engineering group to simplify design process and also for accelerating execution time. This paper describe a method to design and analysis aerodynamic and structure of the wing by automatic technique in geometry preparation. For aerodynamic aspect, wing geometry for a certain configuration is created automatically using computer program for replacement of manual method. NWDU is the software for creating an input of “panel method base code” in the form of panel system that consist of basic input, grid point (wing coordinate) and wake point. Some aerodynamic characteristics are demonstrated in corelation with a certain wing configuration. For structural aspect, automatic technique was applied on structure modeling, including structural layout as the input of FEM analysis. Geodesic structure of wing box component was choosen as test case of the method application. Grid Generation (GG) software was developed to generate structure modeling automatically as an input of Finite Element Method (FEM)

Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the vital food staples in our daily life, amongst the oldest cultivated crops worldwide, ranks as the most widely grown crop. It serves as a vital nutritional material to more than half of the world increasing crowd. This experiment was conducted for evaluation and selection of the most ranked rice cultivars: Kamfirooz, Yasouj, Dom Siah, Gharib, Dollar, Hassan saraei, 304, Lenjan, and Musa Tarom (MTA) as the well-known and prevalent varieties in the 'Fars' and 'Kogilouyeh-o-BoyreAhmad' provinces, Iran, along with other countries. Rough rice grains of the varieties were randomly selected and their principal dimensions were imaged using camera and a special box for light controlling and including Perimeter, Area, MajorAxis Length, MinorAxis Length, Solidity, Eccentricity, and Equiv Diameter, following with image analyzing by image processing software, in a labratroy experiment. The data were statistically analyzed and graphically plotted using SPSS v.17 and MINITAB v.16 software programs. The results of the image analysis indicated that there were significantly differences between most cultivars in the case of physical traits. The cluster categorization of the cultivars showed also that 9 cultivars clustered in 5 groups, i.e. Yasouj and Lenjan cultivars were located in different groups individually, where cultivars: Kamfirrooz, Dom Siah and Dollar in a unique cluster, but Gharib and 304 in the 4th group and MTA and Hassan Saraei in the 5th group. The results of this experiment showed the separateness of rice most recent cultivars according to agronomic and physical status, and leads to picking the most valuable cultivars for upcoming food nutritional values and also experiments
