Valorizing Assorted Logging Residues: Response Surface Methodology in the Extraction Optimization of a Green Norway Spruce Needle-Rich Fraction To Obtain Valuable Bioactive Compounds Open
During stemwood harvesting, substantial volumes of logging residues are produced as a side stream. Nevertheless, industrially feasible processing methods supporting their use for other than energy generation purposes are scarce. Thus, the …
Chemical composition and solubility properties of Bambusa bambos at different ages and height positions Open
Sustainable materials are becoming increasingly important due to environmental concerns and the energy crisis. Non-wood resources such as bamboo are being explored as alternatives to wood-based materials to reduce deforestation. However, t…
Screening of Ligninolytic Fungi and Optimization of Pretreatment Process for Bioethanol Production from Empty Palm Oil Bunches (OPEFB) Open
The high fuel demand causes depletion of non-renewable energy. Fuel substitution such as bioethanol need to be discuss as an alternative to gasoline. Second-generation bioethanol utilizes lignocellulosic biomass. Empty Palm Oil Bunches (OP…
Physical and mechanical properties of Albizia procera glulam beam Open
This research was done to evaluate the feasibility of using Albizia procera for manufacturing glulam beams. The physical and mechanical properties of the A. procera glulam beam were evaluated, and these properties were compared to those of…
Arginine-Coated Nanoglobules for the Nasal Delivery of Insulin Open
Multiple daily injections via subcutaneous route are the primary modes of insulin delivery for patients with Diabetes Mellitus. While this process is invasive, painful and may cause patients to develop lipohypertrophy at injection site, th…
Production and characterisation of pine wood powders from a multi-blade shaft mill Open
Wood is an important raw material for the manufacture of consumer products and in achieving societal goals for greater sustainability. Wood powders are feedstock for many biorefining and conversion techniques, including chemical, enzymatic…
A Neighborhood Impact Driven K-Medoid Clustering and Fuzzy Logic Blended Approach for High Density Impulse Noise Detection and Removal Open
In the field of image processing, removing impulse noise has been regarded as one of the most important tasks, primarily because of the noise pattern it presents. Existing filters used the effect of only those non-noisy pixels which were p…
Effect of Age and Height on the Chemical Properties of Muli Bamboo (<i>Melocanna baccifera</i>) Open
Melocanna baccifera is the most common bamboo species which grows naturally and gregariously covering large tracts of land in the forests of Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. However, there is limited information about the chemical cha…
Wood powder characteristics of green milling with the multi-blade shaft mill Open
The quality of wood powders depends on the size reduction technology used to produce them. The pre-drying, chipping, and conventional (impact and attritional) size reduction steps, commonly employed in industry, act to degrade wood and dim…
