Bioplastic Production from Cellulose of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch - Academia.edu

TOP PAPERS FROM YOUR NEWSFEED Isroi Isroi Universitas Gadjah Mada (Yogyakarta), Biotechnology, Graduate Student Bioplastic Production from Cellulose of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Empty fruit bunch is available abundantly in Indonesia as side product of CPO production. EFB production in Indonesia reached 28.65 million tons in 2015. EFB consist of 36.67% cellulose, 13.50% hemicellulose and 31.16% lignin. By calculation, potential cellulose from EFB is 11.50 million tons. Cellulose could be utilized as source for bioplastic production. This research aims to develop bioplastic production based on cellulose from EFB and to increase added value of EFB. Cellulose fiber has no plastic properties. Molecular modification of cellulose, composite with plasticizer and...

To show how this perspective contributes to understandings of diversity and difference, I read anthropophagy against psychoanalytic discussions of abjection, a process where individuals are simultaneously fascinated by, drawn towards, and horrified by their relationships to outside "others". Stemming from the global periphery, anthropophagy provides a way to combine psychoanalytic with sociological views of otherness. I stress the implications of...

These thinkers won international acclaim during the state socialist period for the remarkably high scholarly standards they achieved in spite of the difficult circumstances in which they had to work.

Then (16:08) we welcome the University of Virginia's celestial Lisa Messeri to the conversation. A lively chat about her research with exoplanetary scientists follows. Lisa reminds us of the extraterrestrial roots of much climate science and explains why she thinks we now need to "un-earth" the Anthropocene. We talk through the connections between our terran conditions of environmental precarity and our renewed interest in other planets. We...

In the research, all the student's writing was on subjects that she was interested in or ones she chose to write about from her lived experiences or familiar events. A case study method was used to analyze the pictures and literacy experiences. The study showed that the student's literacy skills had developed at an advanced level. Besides the process-based teaching program used at the school, the parents' habit of reading books to...

We invite papers that address them from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Empirical, theoretical, historical, methodological and speculative investigations are welcome, as are those that present policy recommendations. Particularly welcome are papers whose purpose is to develop a continued research agenda. The common ground of transport and communication includes a number of features.

Download Bookmark Martin M Smith University of Western Ontario, Psychology, Graduate Student Is socially prescribed perfectionism veridical? A new take on the stressfulness of perfectionism Socially prescribed perfectionists play an active role in creating stress through a process known as stress generation. Extensive evidence also suggests that stress among socially prescribed perfectionists stems from perceived external pressures to be perfect. However, the degree to which these sensed outside pressures reflect real or imagined demands is unclear. In particular, does having other-oriented perfectionists in one's social network lead to greater socially prescribed perfectionism and stress? To address this, we recruited 312 undergraduates (targets) and 1,014 members of their...

The intention is to show that when we see a person, then we are seeing something more than a body dominated from physical's laws. In the first chapter, I analyse the article of Sellars, trying to follow his subject matter. Sellars begins speaking about two manners to make philosophy, at the same way, he refers to two different images of the man in the world: the manifest image and the scientific one. The manifest is the place...

This article contrastively explores two answers to this question: according to the first, we should ensure the survival of humanity because we have reason to maximize the number of happy lives that are ever lived, all else equal. According to the second, seeking to sustain humanity into the future is the appropriate response to the final value of humanity itself. Along the way, the article discusses various issues in population axiology, particularly the so-called Intuition of Neutrality and John Broome's "...
