Abstract
Strawberry is a high-value crop grown in areas with cooler temperatures. It is rich in phytonutrients and flavonoids. Strawberry is usually planted using runners. A study was conducted to evaluate the potential of three strawberry varieties (San Andreas, Valiant, Jewel) grown inside the greenhouse and open field conditions at the research area of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines - Claveria. The studies in both growing conditions were arranged in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Jewel variety produced significantly a greater number of runners than other varieties. However, the San Andreas variety showed a significantly higher value of relative chlorophyll content of the leaves throughout the study. San Andreas also revealed the lowest pest and disease severity rating among varieties. The highest return on expenses based on runners produced was obtained in the Jewel variety and closely followed by the Valiant variety while San Andreas had the lowest. With these, strawberry runners’ production alone can be a good source of income for strawberry production. The maintenance of higher relative chlorophyll content and the lowest pest and disease severity rating in the San Andreas variety could be a potential characteristic in improving the strawberry variety.

Abstract
Waxy cassava having high amylopectin content could contribute and increase genetic background. Unfortunately, the genetic parameter information of three elite cassava clones as Waxy, UJ-5, and BW-1 is still limited. Consequently, the objective of this study was to evaluate leaf weight and yield by correlation and path analysis of three cassava clones. This study was conducted on the Integrated Field Lab of Lampung from December 2019 to October 2020. Treatment was arranged by a single factor in RCBD with two replications. There were three cassava genotype clones, as Waxy, UJ-5 (originally Kasetsart), and BW-1 (originally Huay Bong-60). Genetics parameters were analysed by using Minitab programs (Version 17). Variables observed were plant height (PH), total leaf number (TLN), tuber number (TN), tuber fresh weight (TFW), tuber dry weight (TDW), attached leaf dry weight (ALDW), stem dry weight (SDW), petiole dry weight (PDW), starch weight (SW), and harvest index (HI). These variables were observed and measured at 10 months after planting (MAP) on one tree. The results showed that attached leaf dry weight has direct effect of 1.16 on starch weight with correlation coefficient of 0.58. It was recommended to select a criterion for high yielding of elite clones based on high attached leaf dry weight.

Abstract
Secondary metabolites of oil palm have various potentials. Research on the secondary metabolite of oil palms inflorescences very limited. The purpose of this research is to compare the extraction method between maceration and steam distillation of oil palm female inflorescence’s volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The maceration used ethanolic for 5 × 24 hours, then concentrated with a rotary evaporator. Steam distillation was carried out at a temperature of >80 °C for 4 hours. The extraction results were analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mas Spectrometry (GC-MS). VOCs found from maceration are less than steam distillation, with a 1:12 ratio. Estragole compound was found in both methods. However, steam distillation possesses more content.

Abstract
Sustainable waste management is essential to safeguard the environment and corporate interests. Stringent regulations on quality of palm oil mill effluent (POME) discharge led to the introduction of more decanter machines, which increased output of dried POME solid namely oil palm decanter cake (OPDC). Therefore, a field experiment was planned to investigate how OPDC can be directly used as fertiliser for oil palm (OP) seedling to meet the needs of the plants. In polythene bags as planting media, topsoil was combined with OPDC at ratios of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 50%. This was followed by a reduction in inorganic fertiliser at levels of 25%, 50%, a predetermined nutrient deficiency input, and up to 100% for planting medium at a ratio of 50% OPDC to topsoil. Null hypothesis was tested by comparing vegetative development i.e., seedling’s girth, height, rachis length, frond production, petiole size and true leaf area at 3rd, 6th, and 9th month after planting (MAP). OP seedlings able to tolerate OPDC application up to 50% mixture ratio with topsoil from transplanting up to twelve months old of biological age. Growth response in treatments up to 50% and nil fertiliser input showed comparable results (P>0.005) against control in all parameters evaluated across three, six and nine months of growing period. Despite of full manuring input, OPDC application on OP seedlings has neither caused leaf phytotoxicity nor deficiency. In conclusion, OPDC can be applied directly to OP seedling as a fertiliser alternative with equal growth performance to standard method.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
A suitable plant growth medium (PGM) is essential in cultivating ornamental plants, which are raised mainly for their high aesthetic value. For instance, variegated plants are hugely popular among ornamental plant lovers because they exhibit an array of leaf pattern, forms, and colors. The problem, however, is that their unique colors and patterns likely change over time. In this regard, zeoponic PGM, made from zeolite mixed with other materials such as compost and cocopeat, and macro- and micronutrients offers a viable solution. Thus, this study aimed to find the appropriate kind and dosage of fertilizers making up the proper formulation of the PGM to support the desired growth and lasting appearance of variegated plants. Pot trials in the research greenhouse were conducted in a two factor, completely randomized design (CRD). The first factor was plant type - Epipremnum aureum variegata and Peperomia obtusifolia variegata. The second factor was a combination of kind and dosage of macro- and micronutrients those were added to the zeoponics. Plant growth and aestetic parameters were observed, and the chemical properties of the PGM were analyzed. The results showed that the best micro fertilizer and dosage for Epipremnum aureum variegata was Fe-EDTA 0.00096 g/l + Cu-EDTA 0.00067 g/l + Mn-EDTA 0.00269 g/l + Zn-EDTA 0.00167 g/l, while for Peperomia obtusifolia variegata, the best fertilizer dosage was Fe-EDTA 0.00038 g/l + Cu-EDTA 0.00027 g/l + Mn-EDTA 0.00108 g/l + Zn-EDTA 0.00067 g/l.

Authors: Pambuko Galih , Vanessa Rebecca , Prastowo Sigit 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Cemani chicken is a local breed of Indonesian chicken known for its mystical appearance. Selecting sex earlier is essential for the breeding program to determine the population structure. Instead of using phenotype, sexing in birds can be done molecularly by employing the variation of the CHD-1 gene, which belongs to the Z chromosome. Five primers (pair), namely AVP2 and AVP8; CHD1F and CHD1R; AV1237L and AV1272H; CHDZ and CHDW, then AV2550F and AV2718R, were employed to amplify the CHD-1 gene in PCR reaction followed with electrophoresis analysis. Cemani chicken blood was collected from the Bracial vein, followed by DNA extraction. Two primers set, CHD1F and CHD1R, and AV2550F and AV2718R, were able to amplify the CHD-1 gene and distinguish the difference between male (ZZ) vs. female (ZW) chromosome by showing two clear DNA bands in the female source sample and one band in the male sample. Meanwhile, the AVP2 and AVP8, AV1237L, and AV1272H, only show one clear band in both female and male source samples, and no bands resulted from using CHDZ and CHDW primer. Two sets of primers were able to amplify the CHD-1 gene fragment using PCR and amplified for further molecular sex determination in Cemani chicken.
Pneumatic waste collection system - A proposed innovation for Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee Campus, India
Authors: Kumar Akhilesh , Agrawal Avlokita 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a challenging issue to be addressed in most of the urban centres in India. Heavy population densities and exponential growth of the cities’ boundaries, due to migration, create kiosks to the cities’ resources such as land and other amenities. In such cities, the unsegregated waste gets generated in huge quantities while the rest are dumped in landfill sites without any specific treatment. Centralised and holistic approaches are missing, as most of the waste-to-energy & waste treatment plants are either getting closed or not working to its fullest efficiency. The strategies for a decentralised collection system, segregation and treatment of waste are not usually standard practices. In spite of the global impacts being pretty visible due to global warming, a massive amount of plastic gets dumped into ocean, which reaches the human beings via food chain and results in the most number of incurable diseases like cancer. Further, it also results in rapid extinction of the indigenous species. Campuses are known as mini-city or autonomous urban centres for knowledge sharing and the development of innovations. The time is here to make the Indian campuses smatter in collecting and treating the waste on their premises. Hence, the pneumatic collection process of the garbage can play an essential role in making the campus, an advanced and a sustainable one. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a compact and a decentralised strategy to manage the waste in various urban centres. Also, a formalised informal sector of waste could be contributing to further recycling and processing of the garbage on the campus. The aim of the current research investigation is to identify various possibilities for making the campus, a smart one, in terms of waste management. Furthermore, the study also intends to find out how the compact, decentralised waste collection methods in urban can manage their solid waste in the limited available space. Making zero-waste campuses is a herculean task and a massive challenge must be dealt with immediately to help the cities achieve long-term sustainability.
Assessing the performance of façade-integrated transparent photovoltaic panels for daylight and energy generation in high rise buildings of hot & dry climate
Authors: Megnath Sindhya , Amalan Sigmund Kaushik S 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Indian cities are witnessing a boom in the growth of high-rise buildings to accommodate the ever-intensifying population. The modern trend of applying glass on the façades of tall buildings holds a threat due to Indian climates. Though it allows the daylight, reduces the artificial lighting, and provides a good view, the heat gained through the glass façades increases a building’s energy consumption. Therefore, an innovative, advanced strategy is required that replaces the glass with alternatives which can potentially minimize the energy demands either by controlling the heat gain or producing the electricity by itself, to match the demand. Transparent photovoltaic facades can ideally solve this purpose, as it allows the daylight and are multi-functional in nature. It produces electricity and fulfils several other tasks of solar protection and glare protection. But, the presence of solar cells may cause undesirable shading or low illuminance levels; hence, it is important to comprehensively assess the daylight performance and also calculate its energy performance. The aim of the current research paper is to determine the effectiveness of integrating the transparent photovoltaic panels over window/glass façades of daytime-occupied high-rise buildings in a Hot & dry climate and the form configurations required to achieve a considerable amount of energy on-site, without affecting the quantity of daylight. In this study, the performance of the amorphous silicon (a-Si) PV window, with 26.7% visibility, was evaluated through simulation using Rhino+Honeybee software over different building sizes & aspect ratios. The results showed that there was a gradual decline in the energy intensity with increase in length and the energy intensity got increased with an increase in floor height. The form with a high aspect ratio had the highest EPI of 228kwh/m2/year. Further, the form with the least aspect ratio achieved a better daylight performance. The findings of this research are potentially valuable for building designers and decision-makers to foresee the behaviour pattern of BIPV facades in energy generation, while affirming a comfortable and luminous environment.
Development and optimization of kinetic façade system for the improvement of visual comfort in an office building at Gurugram, India
Authors: Sharma Robin , Kaushik Amalan Sigmund 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In a built space, the visual comfort is an important factor. It depends on the exterior environmental conditions. In general, the daylight has a positive effect on the human behaviours and circadian rhythm. Also, the occupants with a great visual connect with outdoors achieve high productivity. The occupants tend to use shading devices based on the local conditions and not based on future weather conditions. In this background, the kinetic facades provide a higher degree of manipulation thus providing a defined control over the daylight. For this reason, the kinetic façade systems remain a potential element to significantly increase the visual comfort. The kinetic façade optimization studies in the composite climate of India can provide valuable feedbacks in improving such systems for providing visual comfort in the built environment. The focus of the study is to evaluate the performance of kinetic shading systems in terms of enhancing the visual comfort in a composite climate.
The impact of Musi floods along the catchment areas of Hyderabad-A study
Authors: Harini V 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Urban floods threaten the functioning of many states across the country. Mumbai, the economic capital of India, gets affected in most of the monsoon seasons due to heavy rains. Likewise, the state of Kerala too witnessed heavy floods in the recent years. In this background, the current research paper is an attempt based on secondary data to focus on the impact of urban floods in the stretch of river Musi in Hyderabad. The Telangana region experienced heavy rains in October 2020 due to which a flash flood occurred in Hyderabad. This happened after 100 years while the river basin had settlements coming up in low laying or catchment areas. The people who were residing along the coastlines of the slums also got affected during the floods. Historically, river musi was a source of drinking water in that region. However, the scenario got completely changed due to overpopulation, uncontrolled migration and housing affordability in this region which led to devastation of the river basin. According to the (CSE)’s 71-city study, Hyderabad city discharges about 700-800 million litres per day of untreated sewerage water directly into Musi river. So, the drinking water for the entire city is brought from different places. The current research paper is an attempt to focus on the regional issues and determine the social cost and the livelihood along the Musi River stretch in Hyderabad region in a comprehensive manner. Pollution brings an unprecedented fall in agricultural yield and increases the input costs for agriculture like handlooms. It also affects the allied services like dairy, poultry, livestock, fishing, washing clothes, health hazard, unemployment etc. In order to avoid the urban floods in the future, the planning strategies need to be implemented to achieve sustainable development along the stretch of Musi through people’s participation and government intervention.
