The experiment was to study the effects of replacing soybean meal by rubber seed meal on growth, economics and carcass characteristics of broiler. A total of 150 day-old commercial broiler (Cobb-500) was reared for a period of 35 days. There were five treatments including T0 (without rubber seed meal), T1 (10% rubber seed meal), T2 (20% rubber seed meal), and T3 (30% rubber seed meal) and T4 (4...

In Brazil after 25 to 30 years of rubber production, when yield starts drop, trees are felled and destined for firewood charcoal, despite the good mechanical properties workability wood, relatively low production costs. Wood with starch content could be higher added-value products potential spare deforestation many native forest species, but in rubberwood, increases palatability by wood borers ...

Increasing global concern over the environmental issues and depletion of fossil fuels, significant interest has been shown by the researchers to develop alternate energy technologies like biomass, biogas, solar to meet the future energy demand. The prediction of the performance of different biomass energy sources in gasifiers is needed for the implementation of this technology to fulfil the nee...

The rubber-producing tree, Ficus elastica (the Indian rubber tree), requires the same substrates for rubber production as other rubber-producing plants, such as Hevea brasiliensis (the Brazilian or Para rubber tree), the major source of commercial natural rubber in the world, and Parthenium argentatum (guayule), a widely studied alternative for natural rubber production currently under commerci...

Effect of different fillers on natural rubber compounds was investigated through curing, mechanical properties and morphology studies for improving mechanical performance of rubber articles. In this work, natural rubber blends with Silica as Single-filler compounds, and blends with Silica and Carbon black as Bi-filler compounds were considered. Then, natural rubber blends with Silica, Carbon bl...

Thin Pale Crepe (TPC) products are currently increasing in demand by rubber product manufacturers. Its production process is relatively more efcient than crumb rubber, which Indonesia’s main product. The drying of TPC still uses air from the burning rubberwood. use rubberwood predicted to be less economical future. With an limited natural forest, will alternative substitute for wood forests. As...

in some special cases, rubber compounds with high amounts of unsaturated elastomer are recommended with organic sulfur donors instead of mineral sulfurs. in this condition, activated sulfur is produced in situ and curingprocess is facilitated without accelerators. organic sulfur donor compounds have low thermal stability and in the vulcanization temperature produce free and activated sulfurs. t...

The clinical presentation of methyl alcohol intoxication in humans may va ry from one ext reme which mimics an intracranial catastrophe to a more subtle picture which may consist only of vague constitutional symptoms and a mild visual disturbance. When many patients with similar complaints and physical findings arrive at a hospital emergency room within a short space of time, it is not difficul...
