Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRefractive Index and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra of Virgin Coconut Oil and Virgin Olive OilW. Mahmood Mat Yunus, Yap Wing Fen, Lim Mei YeeThis study presents the refractive index and FTIR spectra of virgin coconut oil and virgin olive oil that have been measured in the wavelength range from 491.0-667.8 nm. The measurement of refractive index was carried out using a minimum deviation method while the IR transmission ranging from 600-4000 cm-1 was measured using FTIR spectrometer respectively. The measurements were done at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 13,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThermal Effusivity Measurement of Virgin Coconut Oil-Methanol Mixtures using Photoacoustic TechniqueFiras Kamel Mohamad Al-asfoor, W. Mahmood Mat Yunus, Azmi Zakaria et al.Thermal effusivity of virgin coconut oil-methanol mixtures were measured using open photoacoustic cell technique. The samples were prepared by simply mixing virgin coconut oil and methanol using similar procedure applied for preparation of biodisel. Thermal effusivity of the sample was obtained by fitting the experimental data of photoacoustic amplitude signal to the expression of photoacoustic signal as a function of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePromotion of Coconut Shell Gasification by Steam Reforming on Nickel-DolomitePattaraporn Chaiprasert, Tharapong VitidsantBiomass gasification by the use of metallic nickel as active metal on dolomite support has been chosen as catalyst because of its activity in biomass steam gasification and tar reduction. The purpose of this study is to study the effects of critical parameters on product gas compositions such as temperature, steam to carbon ratio (S/C) and oxygen input. The results … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,410 accessesView PDFCite

Alotaibi, Ayedh Eid Alajmi, Belal F. Yousif, Nbhan D. SalihCoconut fibre reinforced polymer composites are gaining popularity in the field of engineering due to the many benefits that come with them such as low cost of production, easy fabrication, enhanced strength compared to other polymer composites. Of late, there has been an increase in the use of composites that are naturally based because they have many benefits. In line … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2020 · 8,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Bokashi and Water Deficiency on the Growth of Kailan (Brassica Oleracea Var. Acephala) in East Nusa Tenggara, IndonesiaLaurensius Lehar, Suryawati, Tri Luchi Proklamita et al.Water scarcity poses a critical challenge to vegetable production in semi-arid regions such as East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, where sustainable soil amendment strategies are essential for maintaining crop productivity. This study investigated the interaction between water stress and coconut coir charcoal bokashi application on the growth and yield of kailan (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra). The experiment was conducted at the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2026 · 1,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSeedling Propagation of Kulo Chrysanthemum by Tissue CultureJeany Polii MandangAims of this research were to get the right dosage of Plant Growth Regulkator (PGR) and Coconut Water (CW) for shoot multiplication of Kulo chrysanthemums. The study was conducted using a factorial design of three factors namely IAA (0.0; 0.5 and 1.0 ppm), BAP (0, 0.5 and 1.0 ppm) and coconut water (0.0 and 30%). The explants used were clean … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 6 Nov 2017 · 8,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExperimental Study on Natural Fibers for Green Acoustic Absorption MaterialsLamyaa Abd ALRahman, Raja Ishak Raja, Roslan Abdul RahmanNatural fibre materials are one of the major ways to improve environmental pollution and new materials need to be considered to find the best solutions.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluences of Short Discrete Fibers in High Strength Concrete with Very Coarse SandMahyuddin Ramli, Kwan Wai HoeProblem statement: High Strength Concrete (HSC) normally content high cementitous amount and low water binder ratio. However, these would cause substantial volume changes to the concrete and therefore affected the strength development. In addition, the brittleness of HSC was increased when silica fume used as partial cement replacement to achieve high strength. Approach: This study discussed the effects of incorporated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImpact of Dietary Fat Type and Amount on Growth Performance and Serum Cholesterol in RabbitsA. Alhaidary, H. E. Mohamed, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: Literature data on the effect of dietary fat on growth performance in rabbits are inconclusive. For commercial rabbit production it is relevant to know to what extent dietary fat level and type can be manipulated. In the present study serum cholesterol was also analyzed because its relation to the amount and type of dietary fat was not known … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsChemical and Physical Characteristics of Cocopeat-Based Media Mixtures and Their Effects on the Growth and Development of Celosia cristataYahya Awang, Anieza Shazmi Shaharom, Rosli B. Mohamad, Ahmad SelamatProblem statement: Cocopeat is considered as a good growing media component with acceptable pH, electrical conductivity and other chemical attributes but it has been recognized to have high water holding capacity which causes poor air-water relationship, leading to low aeration within the medium, thus affecting the oxygen diffusion to the roots. Incorporation of coarser materials into cocopeat could improve the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 19,001 accessesView PDFCite
