Laophonte cornuta Philippi 1840 was first reported in rather temperate regions and later noted to extend their distribution to the warmer coasts. The earlier reports were based on specimen collected from bottom vegetation or sediment enriched in organic matter. The present study was carried out during the warm month phenomenon which struck coral ar

Pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) have long been known as textile materials in many countries. Despite being mechanically excellent and environmentally sound, PALF are the least-studied natural fibers, especially for reinforcing composites. This article presents a survey of research works carried out on PALF and PALF-reinforced composites. It reviews PA

Sequential optimization strategy based on statistical experimental design including one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method was used to enhance the production of lipase by Candida cylindracea ATCC 14830 using palm oil mill effluent as a basal medium in shake flask cultures. The two-level Plackett–Burman (PB) design was implemented to screen the medium

A two-level full factorial design (FFD) was employed to determine the effects of process parameters on lipase production by Candida cylindracea ATCC 14830 in palm oil mill effluent (POME)-based medium. Ten experimental runs based on three parameters (temperature, agitation and aeration) as indicated by the FFD were carried out in a stirred-tank bio

A disaster management system has active, unpredictable, and complex characteristics due to dynamic conditions with a high level of uncertainty.
