High utilization of palm oil in Indonesia corresponds to mill effluent (POME). The POME has chemical oxygen demand (COD) up 100.000 mg/L, which can pollute the ecosystem if not adequately treated. One methods manage is anaerobic thermophilic digestion. advantage this method production methane gas a form alternative energy. Substrate concentration affects This preliminary experiment aims evaluat...

MOTIVATION RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a powerful new technology for mapping and quantifying transcriptomes using ultra high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies. Using deep sequencing, gene expression levels of all transcripts including novel ones can be quantified digitally. Although extremely promising, the massive amounts of data generated by RNA-Seq, substantial biases and un...

Use of biodiesel as an alternative to diesel could reduce the dependency on petroleum products and the pollution problem. The physical properties of the fuel such as viscosity, volatility and f lash point also affect the combustion process, thereby engine performance. Specif ically atomization of the fuel during the injection is attributed to higher viscosity of biodiesel. Injec ted fuel drople...

Five species of pathogenic fungi belong to Neofabraea. One of these, N. krawtzewii (syn. N. populi), is responsible for bark lesions on poplar (Populus) trees. The other four species cause post-harvest bull's eye rot of pome fruits, and at least two of these also cause bark cankers on pome fruit trees. Morphological variation among these species is slight, and overlap in geographic range someti...
