Tapioca starch, poly(lactic acid) and Cloisite 30B nanocomposites foams, with clay contents of 1, 3, 5 and 7% (w/w), were prepared by a meltintercalation method. Multiple inputs single output models were developed to predict radial expansion ratio, unit density, bulk compressibility and spring index of the nanocomposite foams. An individual ANFIS model was developed for each mechanical property...

The carbon biomass has extensively been used for water/wastewater purification systems. However, pristine matters have less efficiency in practical applications. Conversely, tuning of with biomaterials widely employed. Herein, a sulfur tethered adsorbent chitosan-tapioca peel biochar ([email protected]) composite was successfully fabricated. tapioca as precursor the fabrication matrix. organic ...

Test Automation Programming Interface with Object Controlled Authentication, TAPIoca, is a Tcl/Tk based automatic test environment. It grew out of the need to construct automatic tests at the system level that could send commands to a System Under Test (SUT), get responses from the SUT, and control signal generation equipment connected to the same SUT. Tcl/Tk was chosen as the basis for this au...

Indian sago starch extracted from Tapioca roots finds its application not only as a food but also numerous commercial applications. In the present review we are discussing concisely the extraction, physiochemical properties, chemical modifications and pharmaceutical applications of Indian sago starch. The sago starch is a cheap, easily available, biodegradable and a versatile polymer. Starch ha...

Malang Regency produced 690,136 tons banana in 2016. The production is line with the waste (banana stalks). Banana stalks contain 83.3% cellulose and 2.97% lignin, of which can be used as raw material for paperboard making. However, leaf paper has a low tensile strength 7.45 N/mm2, so additional fibers to strengthen necessary, such coconut coir 46.67 N/mm2. This research aimed formulate making,...

Abstract Renewable energy is an alternative to fossil fuels due the limited supply of and greenhouse gas emission contribution. Bioenergy one renewable energies that derived from biomass. Biomass waste, namely durian peel sewage sludge, has potential as raw material for bioenergy because its content. Moreover, carbonization biomass water can improve heating value material. This study aims inves...

Four Holstein steers (466 kg) with cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum were used in a 4 X 4 Latin square design experiment to evaluate the ruminal escape protein value and post ruminal digestibility of menhaden fish meal (FM) vs two high-bypass protein blends in an 88% concentrate finishing diet. Blend 1 (B-1) contained 5% fish meal, 25% meat and bone meal, 20% blood meal, and 50% hydro...
