In this study, yellow oleander biodiesel was produced using a synthesized eggshell-derived nanocatalyst. Biodiesel fuel properties have been evaluated against number of ASTM standards. A test conducted in which an engine fueled with petroleum diesel and four different diesel/biodiesel blends (B5, B15, B20, B30, B100) at five loads (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 %) were analyzed single-cylinder internal co...

Teknologi budidaya sistem bioflok adalah ikan dengan padat tebar tinggi sedikit atau tanpa ganti air. Bioflok terdiri dari agregat mikro organisme dan bahan organik membutuhkan suplai oksigen, oleh karena itu jika volume terlalu perlu dikurangi mengganti sebagian air media. Tujuan penelitian mengetahui pengaruh pergantian terhadap kualitas performa pertumbuhan lele. Percobaan rancangan acak len...

Research aimed at finding alternative fuels to replace petroleum diesel (petrodiesel) used in controlled combustion engines (CCEs) has identified biodiesel as one of the main candidates, due its sustainability and potential for use energy matrices. In this study, gas emissions from a CCE were investigated, with focus on total hydrocarbons (THC) carbon monoxide (CO). Biodiesel (B100) samples der...

This study evaluates the performance and emission characteristics of an orange peel biodiesel blended with cashew nut shell liquid. It investigates efficacy liquid in reducing nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions resulting from combustion biodiesel, while optimizing its performance. The was prepared via transesterification. obtained by reacting oil produced through Soxhlet extraction methanol presenc...

background :some results exist on fetuin-a as marker for vascular disease in type 2diabetes. we examined the relationship between serum fetuin-a with some factors, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm).   methods : from october 2012 to june 2013, a total of 131 t2dm patients were recruited and evaluated for various parameters including homa-ir, apo-a1, apo-b100, body fat percentage a...

Nonenzymatic glycation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) is a reaction of glucose and other reducing sugars with apolipoprotein B100 (apo-B100) lysine residues. In diabetes, this reaction is greatly accelerated and is important in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. The objective of this study was to investigate in vitro effects of ?-tocopherol, ascorbic acid and lycopene on LDL glycatio...
