A seed rain community in a reforested post-agricultural field and adjacent secondary forest of Mount Papandayan Nature Reserve, West Java, Indonesia

A seed rain community in a reforested post-agricultural field and adjacent secondary forest of Mount Papandayan Nature Reserve, West Java, Indonesia

One of the barriers in forest restoration is the arrival and availability of propagules. Dr. Nuri Nurlaila Setiawan and Dr. Endah Sulistyawati studied seed rain and factors affecting it using multivariate general linear model and univariate linear model analysis. This study reported that after 7 years of planting, the reforested field has received limited seed rain […]

Coconut fibres and laminates with Jabon trunk (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) veneer for hybrid plywood composites: dimensional stability and mechanical properties

Coconut fibres and laminates with Jabon trunk (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) veneer for hybrid plywood composites: dimensional stability and mechanical properties

Jabon wood (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) and coconut fibres currently appear to be the most viable raw material alternative in wood-based industries. In this paper, Dr. Rudi Dungani and the team examines the hybridization of coconut fibres with Jabon trunk veneer which turn out to improve some mechanical properties of plywood. The coconut fibres can be used […]

Land-Cover and Elevation-Based Mapping of Aboveground Carbon in a Tropical Mixed-Shrub Forest Area in West Java, Indonesia

Land-Cover and Elevation-Based Mapping of Aboveground Carbon in a Tropical Mixed-Shrub Forest Area in West Java, Indonesia

Carbon sequestration and storage are among the most important ecosystem services provided by tropical forests. In the recent paper, Dr. Elham Sumarga and the team examined the use of land-cover and elevation-based methods of aboveground carbon mapping in Geulis Mountain to elucidate how much carbon is stored in the forest, providing important input to our […]

Experimental studies on a two-step fast pyrolysis-catalytic hydrotreatment process for hydrocarbons from microalgae (Nannochloropsis gaditana and Scenedesmus almeriensis)

Experimental studies on a two-step fast pyrolysis-catalytic hydrotreatment process for hydrocarbons from microalgae (Nannochloropsis gaditana and Scenedesmus almeriensis)

Did you know that microalgae could also become a new source of energy? An interesting paper from Neil Priharto and the team revealed the potential use of microalgae for bio-based hydrocarbons production, an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels and renewable drop-in chemicals. Article Citation: Priharto,N., Ronsse,F., Prins,W., Carleer,R., Heeres RJ. 2020. Experimental studies on a […]

Chondrogenic differentiation of Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal stem cells on silk spidroin-fibroin mix scaffold supplemented with L-ascorbic acid and platelet rich plasma

Chondrogenic differentiation of Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal stem cells on silk spidroin-fibroin mix scaffold supplemented with L-ascorbic acid and platelet rich plasma

We are glad to share a new study from Dr. Anggraini Barlian’s team who reported the potential of silk spidroin from Argiope appensa spider web on directing chondrogenic differentiation of human Wharton’s jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hWJ MSCs). It is useful for the development of bio based material scaffold in cartilage tissue engineering, suggesting a […]
