Coconut, Cocos nucifera L., is a tree that is cultivated for its multiple utilities, mainly for its nutritional and medicinal values. The various products of coconut include coconut water, copra, coconut oil, raw kernel, coconut cake, coconut shell and wood based products, coconut leaves, etc. Its all parts are used in some way or another in daily life. Recently, several researches are going on...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of straw, sawdust, coconut husk (husk), and coconut fiber (fiber) on the welfare of stable horses by observing their resting behavior. Twenty horses with ages ranging from 3 to 21 years were used at the Equine Research Institute of the Japan Racing Association, Utsunomiya, Japan. Five horses were allocated to each bedding condition. The ...

Cattleya trianae is an endemic species from the tropical rainforest in the Colombian Andes. Its survival is currently threatened due to habitat loss and commercial overexploitation. This study evaluates ten substrates, some organic (pine bark, coconut fiber and wood shavings), some inert icopor (polystyrene foam), vegetable coal and their combinations, and the effects these have on morphometric...

Reinforced polymer composites have played an ascendant role in a variety of applications for their high meticulous strength and modulus the fiber may be synthetic or natural used to serves as reinforcement in reinforced composites. Glass and other synthetic fiber reinforced composites consists high meticulous strength but their fields of applications are restrained because of their high cost of...

india has large resources of natural fibres such as banana, khus, sisal, korai grass,talipot, palm leaf, coconut, pineapple, screwpine, golden grass, jute and sabaiamong others. in the past, trade of the village folk depended on harvesting fibresgrown in their villages. natural fibers have recently gaining attraction of researchersdue to their low cost eco-friendly and biodegradability characte...

Coconut dregs often become waste and garbage due to the lack of knowledge skills community in utilizing existing potential. Even though, coconut still contain fiber which is good for body. Activities using educating training methods aimed increase processing into processed food. Educating can participants' by 28.33 points. Training on sago cheese (sagu keju) from flour improve products that nee...

Pure coconut oil, lanolin, and acetaminophen were vaporized at rates of 1-50 mg/min, using a porous network exhibiting a temperature gradient from 5000 to 5500 K/mm, without incurring noticeable chemical changes due to combustion, oxidation, or other thermally-induced chemical structural changes. The newly coined term "ereptiospiration" is used here to describe this combination of thermal trans...

Coconut husk, rubberwood sawdust, and palm leaf base are cellulosic agricultural wastes that have potential to be processed fiber as absorbing material. This study investigated characteristics (morphological, physiological properties, chemical composition, absorption capacity, water isotherms) of coconut, rubberwood, fiber. Also, the aimed develop an antimicrobial sachet packaging resist agains...

The present work involves the development of a particle imaging velocimetry system using an optical fiber bundle scope as shown in Figure 1. Applying a fiber scope to PIV system, the resolution of particle images is spatially poorer than those taken directly by a CCD camera, which leads to an inadequate result of cross-correlation between a pair of particle images from the fiber scope. With a c...
