The Na–K–Ca geothermometer presented more elevated reservoir temperatures than the K–Mg, silica and chalcedony geothermometers, about 20–30◦C.

Detection of coagulant concentration by ion chromatography found that 25% of the samples were composed of formate ions and 50% of the samples were composed of sulfate ions ranging from 17.89 to 93.46% and 36.17 to 97.74% by weight, respectively. Among the adulterated coagulants, they were mixed with formate ions and chloride ions in 18.75% of the samples and sulfate ions mixed with chloride ions in 6.25% of the samples. Additionally, block rubber containing adulterants had Po, PRI, and Mooney viscosity values that meet the lower grade STR 20 standard.

The ratios between extracted galangal rhizome and water used in the study were 0:100, 25:75, and 50:50 (w/w). Gelling agents used in the study were only gelatin combined with potato starch. The products were tested by physical characteristics, chemical, and sensory acceptability. The sample product with extracted galangal rhizome was yellower than the product without extracted galangal rhizome. In addition, the higher the amount of extracted galangal rhizome, the greater the yellowness of the product. Increasing the levels of extracted galangal rhizome showed a tendency to increase the L*, a*, and b* values. Results obtained from a texture analyzer showed that using 20g of gelatin, 2.5g of potato starch, and 25% of extracted galangal rhizome had the highest values of hardness, springiness, and chewiness (P ≤ 0.05) of 7.63 N, 10.21 mm and 76.76 (N•m), respectively.

Here, we analyzed the effects of satiation feeding of diet supplemented with noni (Morinda citrifolia) fermented extract on the feeding rate, growth performance and feed conversion ratio of Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Fish with an initial average weight of 2.83 ± 0.01 g were fed with diets supplemented with noni fermented extract at 0 (control), 100-, 200- and 300-ml kg-1 for 12 weeks. Subsequent results showed that growth rate was correlated with or dependent on the concentration of noni fermented extract in the diet. The best result for growth performance, such as weight gain, average daily growth rate and specific growth rate, was found in a fish-fed diet supplemented with noni fermented extract at 200 ml kg-1. However, the feed conversion ratio (FCR) is still higher than the control. The high FCR compared to control may be due to the anthraquinone in noni fermented extract, which decreases nutrient absorption. Fish fed with a 300 ml kg-1 noni fermented extract supplemented diet was the lowest growth performance and highest in FCR, suggesting that concentrations over 200 ml kg-1 might be detrimental to fish. Taken together, noni fermented extract can be a natural source of feed supplement to improve fish growth performance and may act as an appetite stimulant. However, due to its laxative effect, noni fermented extract supplementation should be given at appropriate levels and effective feeding management.","PeriodicalId":426475,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Journal of Scientific and Technological Reports","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129775274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The X-ray shielding properties of NR/BaSO4 composites were tested using a 100-kV X-ray generator. The results suggested that the increases in the BaSO4 contents improved the x-ray shielding properties of the NR/BaSO4 composites, such as linear attenuation coefficient ( ), mass attenuation coefficient ( ), and half-value layer (HVL). The highest X-ray attenuation was 94 % in 100 phr BaSO4. In terms of mechanical properties, it was found that the density and hardness (Shore A) increased with increasing BaSO4 contents. In contrast, the increases in BaSO4 resulted in decreased tensile strength, elongation at break and tear strength. In summary, the overall properties suggest that these NR/ BaSO4 composites could be developed as an effective X-ray shielding material instead of lead.","PeriodicalId":426475,"journal":{"name":"ASEAN Journal of Scientific and Technological Reports","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127960114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pyrrophyta exhibited the highest density, followed by Cyanophyta, Bacillariophyta and Chlorophyta. The cell density of 4 divisions was high at the start rearing e.g., Pyrrophyta 47,991 cells/L (85%), Cyanophyta 3,141 cells/L (5%), Bacillariophyta 3,530 cells/L (6%), and Chlorophyta 1,965 cells/L (3%). However, the density drastically changed at the end of the study in 19 days, especially in Pyrrophyta, for which cell density dropped to 4,705 cells/L (48%). The density of Cyanophyta increased towards day 7 and decreased at the end of the study (2,126 cells/L, 22%). The density of Bacillariophyceae and Chlorophyta were reduced in the initial cultivation from day 1 to day 10 but increased again before the end of the study for 1,176 cells/L (12%) and 1,698 cells/L (18%).

The key findings show that all anodes showed a single phase of rutile structure with the cracked mud on the surface.
