Abstract
Pineapple in the Philippines, with an annual production rate of more than 2 million tons, is ranked the third largest pineapple producing country in the world, with 172,000 acres dedicated to its production. Under this scenario, pineapple is a subtropical fruit with a considerably higher proportion of by-products consisting of peels, stems and leaves, leading to a high production of agricultural waste. In particular, pineapple leaves fiber as one of the most abundant by-products rich in cellulose. The researchers compared the properties and composition of commercially available type 1 plywood to a mixture of high density polyethylene plastic chips with dried pineapple leaves called Plymer. The ratio of the Plymer was 80 % HDPE and 20 % leaves. The series of tests carried out by DOST-FPRDI were screw removal, static bending and tensile strength. The researchers used the statistical tooltest to compare the results of the test. In conclusion, Plymer is the best option for static bending and tensile strength testing.

Abstract
The primary objective and purpose of agriculture is to sustain society. With this is mind, two farming concepts have emerged with different methods and systems in complying with the industry’s objective. Organic farming, the less practiced between the two, is more fitting to uphold the sustenance of society in a healthier and long term span. Crop rotation scheduling, the required method in organic farming has always been done manually with no established basis. The aim of this study is to maximize the efficiency of organic farming in the second and third highest agricultural land area in the Philippines. Thus, a decision making tool is utilized to be applied to simple crop rotation practices in the industry. This tool takes into consideration several variables in organic farming. Best-selling and top produce in the areas are used with the corresponding profit organic farms may obtain with planting them. Constraints are generally stated to fit a realistic situation in farms, neglecting too complex variables to maintain simplicity and uniformity. Generation of a crop rotation schedule has been successful, showing which crops to be planted, how many, and in what period to be planted in the span of twelve (12) months, including the fallow. However, we suggest that further study and tests must be conducted using more powerful and complex analytic tools with consideration of specific variables and constraints applicable to different settings to generate more accurate crop rotation schedules.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
PT SS.Tbk is a producer of several high-quality automotive components that have a market share in the country and abroad. One of the products is Radiator. The study was conducted on the crimping line because this line still has many obstacles in production. One of them is low production capacity and is not in accordance with machine standards. OEE Method is a calculation of several elements, namely Availability, Performance Efficiency, and Rate of Quality Products. The beginning of the research is to find supporting data to calculate the three elements. From the available data and through the calculation phase can produce 99% availability, performance of 50.9%, and quality rate of 99.68%. From the results of the three elements, the OEE value can be determined by multiplying the three elements and the result is 49.23%. From these results it can be seen that the element that must be improved is performance by increasing production capacity. After doing research, the main problem is the handling and movement of operators that require a long time. This can be determined by comparing the processing time of the machine with the handling or movement of the operator. From the available data can be generated for the process of the engine its capacity is able to produce 193.54 pcs per hour, while the calculation of handling and movement of the operator generated 47.26 pcs per radiator. From this it can be planned several improvements to minimize handling and movement of the operator, namely the first, by approaching the crimping machine and radiator forming components and the second, by making conveyors for radiator components.
Study of Pivot Panel Mechanism on the Self Start-Ability of a Darrieus Wind Turbine
Authors: Seng Cheong Thean , Misaran Mohd Suffian , Wan Ibrahim Mohd Kamel 
Published: June 2020

AbstractIn South East Asia countries such Malaysia, wind turbine is generally not suitable to be used in large scale to generate electricity due to inconsistent wind speed and suitable land site availability. However, a small scale application is of preference as the wind speed in the region lies within the low speed range of approximately 2-5 ms−1with intermittent highs up to 8 ms−1. The performance of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) is known to be better compared to Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) in urban conditions due to its omnidirectionality, which allows it to operate in fluctuating turbulent wind conditions. However, the major drawback of VAWTs is the inability to self-start under low wind speed conditions. Hence, the objective of this work is to investigate the Pivoting Panel Mechanism (PPM) which aims to assist VAWT models to self-start at low wind speed condition. Three sets of PPM width configurations (70mm, 80mm, 90mm) are used to study the effect of increasing the pivot panel surface area on the VAWT performance. Performance test showed that the PPM model improved the power coefficient values at the tip wind speed range of TSR<0.75 (PPM 70mm>80mm>90mm). Further investigation revealed that the larger PPM surface area (90mm) was able to assist the VAWT model to achieve a shorter RPM response time at wind speed of v = 2.5ms−1and 2.9ms−1. These findings have considerable implications for future researches for the optimization of PPM design parameters and its adaptations in VAWT turbine design.
