Interspecific hybridization between Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), which is widely grown in Brazil for cattle forage, and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) has been used as a breeding strategy for the development of improved cultivars. However, the hybrid between these two species is sterile due to its triploid condition (2n = 3x = 21 chromosomes), which hinders its use in crop breeding p...

Abstract The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plant is derived from a centrifugal chiller air conditioning system as an alternative to diesel replacement modular due its low cost compared ORC’s manufacture. Biomass used heat source for the utilize vast amount of biomass in Indonesia. Research performed by designing ORC with that produces around 200 kWe. Simulation done Microsoft Excel and Refe...

A study to investigate the effects of three different stocking sizes (5, 10, 20 g) and two isonitrogenous input regimes (maize bran × urea and napier grass × urea) on the production of Oreochromis shiranus was conducted between June and November 2000 at the Malawi National Aquaculture Center. Six treatments (three stocking sizes × two input regimes), each in triplicate, were used in the study. ...
