Deforestation or functional change from forest to non-forest plays a role in changing ecosystems and species within it. Insects as one of the faunas it is an interesting aspect be studied, especially ants. The research was conducted Nagari Gunung Selasih Sungai Kambut, Pulau Punjung District, Dharmasraya Regency, West Sumatra November 2017 January 2018. This study aims determine diversity ants ...

The final features of natural fiber composites (NFCs) depend on the integrated characteristics of their constituents. In the industry today, natural agro waste fibers are evaluated using a limited number of criteria. In this work, a combined multi-criteria evaluation stage technique (CMCEST) is introduced as a simple efficient systematic indicator to enhance evaluation of the available natural ...

Indonesia is the largest palm oil producer in world and West Kalimantan Province second province industry with an area of 1.8 million hectares plantation land. In processing at plant, several types waste are produced. One them liquid called Palm Mill Oil Effluent (POME). POME can be used as biogas Anaerobic Biological process. Biogas that has been purified packaged high pressure tubes Bio-CNG. ...

The increasing global demand for palm oil and its products has led to a significant growth in palm plantations and palm oil production. Unfortunately, these bring serious environmental problems, largely because of the large amounts of waste material produced, including palm kernel shell (PKS). In this study, we used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate the PKS co-firing of a 300 MW...

An earthquake-triggered landslide often generates the high-water content sludge due to excessive rainfall intensity. In general, is disposed of in dumping area. Meanwhile, Indonesia known as a leading country for palm oil plantation. The production, however, remains agricultural waste, socalled Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB). EFB contains fibrous material which perceived absorb water. this work, inste...

Ecotone – an area where two environments of different composition and structure meet due to land conversion is prone habitat loss biodiversity devaluation as a result fragmentation. Responsive change, birds represent one the common animals all types since their diversity abundance are able reflect ecological tendencies in biodiversity. This study was aimed analyze diversity, abundance, evenness...

Palm oil is one of the leading agricultural sectors which has an important role in Indonesia. In addition to being able absorb new workers, palm plantation business can also contribute state revenues from crude (CPO) export levies, demand for increasing every year. However, recent years level productivity plantations decreased. This due age plants that are getting older and not using superior c...

The coconut oil, coconut water and palm kernel oil was administered orally at a dose of 400mg/kg body weight to white albino rats to check for some effect on biochemical parameters. Twenty (20) rats divided into four (4) groups of five (5) rats each. One group was treated with distilled water and feed only serving as control, second group was treated with coconut water only while the third grou...
