Although Timor-Leste has made considerable progress in many areas since its independence 2002, it faces significant medium-term challenges. The nation pressing development needs, young institutions, and is highly dependent on oil. Oil revenues from active fields, which have been the main source of funding for government spending, are drying up. non-oil private sector economy remains underdevelo...

This research aims to develop solid waste produced by oil palm plantation processing in the form of mesocarp fiber. Utilization which is usually only as boiler fuel a Palm Oil Mill. fiber reduce waste, has large heating value, and selling value. In process making briquettes, raw materials are provided, drying, charcoal (carbonization), filtering, forming 100 gr with 150 ml, 200 300 ml water sol...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the behavior of castor oil-derived polyurethane as a hemostatic agent and tissue response after abdominal aortic injury and to compare it with 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate. METHODS Twenty-four Guinea Pigs were randomly divided into three groups of eight animals (I, II, and III). The infrarenal abdominal aorta was dissected, clamped proximally and distally to the vascular punctu...

As studies continue to examine new value added uses for ethanol coproducts, it is important to have means to easily determine the feasibility of the processing steps involved. Many industries widely use computer simulation programs for this purpose, and for planning the use of resources and equipment capacities, and to determine processing costs. The objective of this project was to determine t...

Alkyd resins were prepared into four different sets by varying the percentage concentrationof the glycerol content. Various properties such as the viscosity, Surface drying time, solubilityand color of the alkyd resins were evaluated for the various sets. The alkyd resin with the highestglycerol content was the most viscous, brownish in color and having the highest molecularweight this is due t...

Hot air drying of palm fruit is a simple method but results in low grade oil. The steaming high oil it requires wastewater treatment process. Both methods have both advantages and disadvantages, therefore if they were combined, can result the better grades oil, which should be encouraged for farmers Thailand to apply. This research aimed determine mechanical characteristics semi-damp dryer palm...
