Plants have the capability to produce an extensive variety of chemical compounds that in turn exert important biological functions and modify different pathological conditions in both human and animals. In this way medicinal plants mediate their effects through Chemical compounds and these processes are identical to those already well understood for the chemical compounds in conventional drugs....

from 2001, among Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan, for the following reasons. Appropriate timing: It was fortunate that we could start the POME project ten years ago. Generally, it is difficult to obtain the data of past environments although advances of technologies have enabled to reconstruct the past conditions recorded in sediment layers or hard tissues of some...

Effects of three selected variables viz. biomass concentration, initial chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration and initial bicarbonate alkalinity (BA) on biological hydrogen production from palm oil mill effluent (POME) using the granulated sludge in batch culture were investigated. The experimental results were analyzed and modeled using a central composite design (CCD) of response surface...

The oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is an important pest of most stone and pome fruits and causes serious damage to the fruit industry worldwide. This insect pest has been primarily controlled through the application of insecticides; as a result, G. molesta has developed resistance to many different types of insecticides. To identify detoxification ge...

Abstract Microalgae cultivation medium was an important component which is related to the economic aspects and its effects on cell life in culture. Synthetic widely used but because of less economical, necessary look for alternative substitute medium. This could come from industrial household waste. Some organic microalgae Spirulina platensis have been studied. One source waste other industries...

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is considered the most environmentally harmful when discharged without proper treatment. In addition to conventional biological treatment methods, physicochemical techniques are alternative methods treat POME as polishing or post-treatment meet discharge water quality standards set by authorities. Recently, electroflotation (EF) has gained popularity in wastewater ...
