Judul: Biomass gasification for electric generation and waste exhaust gas utilization for adsorption system
Abstrak: The emergence of energy crisis recently has attracted the utilitation of alternative energy, especially the renewable one. Biomass, as one of the renewable energy resources, attract more attention due to its enamourus quantity (i.e. 261.99 billion ton per year). The object of this research was to study the optimal use of the biomass by designing a gasification system to produce electricity and a heat exchanger to utilize the waste heat from the exhaust gas of the engine as energy source for adsoption refrigeration.

Judul: Pemanfaatan gas karbon tungku sekam untuk pengembangan kompor dengan bahan bakar campuran air dan bahan bakar nabati/bahan bakar fosil dengan metode kavitasi
Abstrak: The world's population continuously grows at a quarter million people per day. This fast growing population has raised the world energy consumption up to 474x1018 J per year with 80 to 90 percent derived from the combustion of fossil fuels. It is estimated that the fossil energy will be lasted in 42 years. Rice husk is an alternative of non-fossil energy that may be utilized in traditional way of cooking (burning it in a traditional stove). One of the renewable energy has great potential to overcome the energy crisis was utilization of rice husk to husk stove. However, the utilization of rice husks to generate carbon gas stove that quite a lot. Excessive concentration of carbon in the air is not a good for the environment, because the excees carbon released into the air can make climate change will complicate things even further. So, we need a new alternative to utilize carbon gases from burning the husk. The purpose of the utilization of carbon gases from burning rice husk is to create alternative energy that can reduce the release of carbon into the air as part of efforts to reduce global warming impact method used in the manufacture of alternative energy is the method by cavitation. In order to reduce the gas pollution the gas may be mixed with kerosene and water using sonochemical technique to produce dry steam, so the dry steam from cavitation process can be used as fuel. The process result can be done to boil 1 liter water with energy efficiency between 11.44% - 18.16%. The stove with fuel of waterbio ethanol using cavitation method can be used to boil 1 liter water with energy efficiency between 13.25% - 17.50%. Carbon flown on stove interfered toward energy efficiency and can accelerate boiling time of 1 liter water.

Judul: Prevalence of Bird Lice on Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and are used for various purposes such as food and in sports. Rock pigeons may have the potential to be infested with a wide range of ectoparasites, which can have a significant impact on their life cycle. This study aims to measure the prevalence of Columba livia with bird lice in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia in the year 2020 and to ascertain the impact of bird lice on the health of these infested birds. Data were collected from clinical records for the month of January to December in the year 2020 from 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Lice were identified in 42 of the 80 Rock pigeons examined so, the overall prevalence of lice infestations was 52.5%. The prevalence of ectoparasites was found to be higher in young Rock pigeons (60.4%) as compared to adult Rock pigeons (37.4%). Columbicola columbae (wing lice) and Colpocephalum turbinatum (body lice) are two species of lice that have been detected. Body lice were more prevalent in young Columba livia birds at 47.6% whereas wing lice were more prevalent in adult Columba livia birds at 16.7%. Most of the lice were found in the thorax and abdomen area followed by the head and neck area., Merpati Batu (Columba livia) telah hidup berdampingan dengan manusia selama ribuan tahun dan digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti makanan dan olahraga. Merpati batu dapat terinfestasi dengan berbagai ektoparasit, yang dapat berdampak signifikan pada siklus hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi Columba livia dengan kutu burung di 99 Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia pada tahun 2020 dan untuk memastikan dampaknya terhadap kesehatan burung yang terinfestasi. Data dikumpulkan dari catatan klinis dari bulan Januari hingga Desember tahun 2020 dari 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Kutu diidentifikasi pada 42 dari 80 merpati batu yang diperiksa sehingga, prevalensi keseluruhan infestasi kutu adalah 52,5%. Prevalensi ektoparasit ditemukan lebih tinggi pada merpati batu muda (60,4%) dibandingkan dengan merpati batu dewasa (37,4%). Columbicola columbae (kutu sayap) dan Colpocephalum turbinatum (kutu badan) adalah dua spesies kutu yang telah ditemukan. Kutu badan lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia muda sebesar 47,6% sedangkan kutu sayap lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia dewasa sebesar 16,7%. Sebagian besar kutu ditemukan di daerah dada dan abdomen diikuti daerah kepala dan leher.
