Dammar Asphalt (Daspal) is expected to be used as a bio-asphalt renewable binder for road construction.It is made with a modification of the "Jabung", which is the dammar gum based material mixed with grounded red brick debris and low quality cooking circuiteer ii blower oil at a certain ratio.Dammar gum is obtained from the Dipterocarpaceae family
Recent Observations on Australian Bat Lyssavirus Tropism and Viral Entry
Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) is a recently emerged rhabdovirus of the genus lyssavirus considered endemic in Australian bat populations that causes a neurological disease in people indistinguishable from clinical rabies.There are two distinct variants of ABLV, one that circulates in frugivorous bats (genus Pteropus) and the other in insectivoro
Adaptation Selection of Plants for Utilization in Phytoremediation of Soil Contaminated by Crude Oil
The research on adaptation selection for utilization in phytoremediation of soil contaminated by crude oil using four type plants, such as Helianthus annuus, Paspalum conjugatum, Sorghum bicolor, and Tagetes erecta were conducted.The adaptability of four types of plants on crude oil contaminated soil at total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) level at 0,
DNA Metabarcoding Enables High-Throughput Detection of Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) Within Unsorted Trap Catches
The spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii, Matsumara) is a rapidly spreading global pest of soft and stone fruit production.Due to the similarity of many of its life stages to other cosmopolitan drosophilids, surveillance for this pest is currently bottlenecked by the laborious sorting and morphological identification of large mixed trap catc
