Building materials having low thermal load and low thermal conductivity will provide thermal comforts to the occupants in building. In an effort to reduce the use of high energy and waste products from the agricultural industry, sugarcane bagasse and banana bagasse has been utilize as an additive in the manufacture of cement brick. The aim of this study is to investigate the insulation and mechanical properties of brick that has been mixed with bagasse and its effectiveness as thermal insulation using heat flow meter. Waste bagasse is being treated using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and is characterized using SEM and XRF. The samples produced with two different dimensions of 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm and 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm for thermal conductivity test. Next, the sample varies from 0% (control sample), 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% in order to determine the best mix proportion. The compressive strength is being tested for 7, 14 and 28 days of water curing. Results showed that banana bagasse has lower thermal conductivity compared to sugarcane bagasse used, with compressive strength of 15.6MPa with thermal conductivity 0.6W/m.K.

  • 1 Sap Collection from Small-Diameter Trees Timothy
    Sap Collection from Small-Diameter Trees Timothy Perkins and Abby van den Berg University of Vermont Proctor Maple Research Center Underhill Center, VT 05490 [email protected], [email protected] For several years, we conducted research on the collection of sap from small-diameter maple trees. This document outlines the basic concepts, techniques, and applications of this type of sap collection.† The fundamental premise of this type of sap collection is that sap is collected from the cut surface of small-diameter trees rather than through a taphole drilled in a larger stem. Initial cuts on intact trees are made approximately 5-6' above ground level at a height reasonably convenient for running tubing (Figure 1). The cut is most easily accomplished using a sharp bow-saw. Sap is collected from the cut surface of the stem using a cap-type fitting connected to a tubing system with vacuum (Figure 1). Vacuum is necessary; otherwise sap flows will be negligible. The cut to the stem needs to be as clean as possible to facilitate optimum sapflow, and care should be taken not to damage remaining bark tissues during the cutting process. The area of the stem where the cap is placed should be as smooth and free from defects as possible to facilitate a vacuum-tight fit. A clear zone of smooth bark approximately 3-4" long should extend below the cut to allow a good seal with the sap collection cap. Good sanitation practices should be used to avoid contamination of the cut stem. The cut top of the tree could be put aside and used later for mulch or fuel.

  • Productivity of Honeybees in Oil Palm Integrated System in Niger- Delta of Nigeria F.N
    The Journal of Agriculture and Environment Vol:12, Jun.2011 Technical Paper PRODUCTIVITY OF HONEYBEES IN OIL PALM INTEGRATED SYSTEM IN NIGER- DELTA OF NIGERIA F.N. Emuh*1 and A.U.Ofuoku2 ABSTRACT For two consecutive years in Abbi, Delta State of Niger-Delta of Nigeria one, two and three beehives were integrated in oil palm plantation to determine optimum productivity of the oil-palm honey bee farming system. The fresh fruit bunch (economic yield) of the oil palm was statistically similar at 0, 1, 2 and 3 bee hive(s) per hectare. The honey yield were statistically similar for each bee hive/kg/ha while the total honey yield/production was significantly higher in the order of three > two > one bee hive/ha. Result obtained in this study indicates that productivity of oil palm plantation + three Beehives/ha which produced more honey is recommended. Keywords: African honeybee, economic yield. honey-yield, oil palm INTRODUCTION Honey is sucked nectar, saccharine exudation of plants, modified by honeybees and stored in beehive (s). It is rich in albumen, amino acid, ascorbic acid, copper, folic acid, fructose, glucose, iron, maltose, nicotinic acid, nitrogen, sodium, sucrose, vitamins B1, B2, B5, C4, D and K (Ayansola, 2003). It is used as tonic food, promotes growth, maintains acid - base balance of the body, has antibiotic properties and used for spiritual and mystical purposes (Holy Bible, 2000; Ayansola, 2003; Ayodele and Onyekuru, 2005) Most honey is sourced from honeybees in the wild. Honeybees and tree crops especially flowering plants has a symbolic relationship. The flowers provide nectar, a carbohydrate food for the bees, which is a raw material for honey production, while the bees in turn pollinate the flowers which enable the plant to reproduce.

  • 3 Bagasse Caribbean Art and the Debris of the Sugar Plantation
    3 Bagasse Caribbean Art and the Debris of the Sugar Plantation Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert The recent emergence of bagasse—the fibrous mass left after sugarcane is crushed—as an important source of biofuel may seem to those who have experienced the realities of plantation life like the ultimate cosmic irony. Its newly assessed value—one producer of bagasse pellets argues that “sym- bol of what once was waste, now could be farming gold” (“ Harvesting” 2014)—promises to increase sugar producers’ profits while pushing into deeper oblivion the plight of the workers worldwide who continue to pro- duce sugar cane in deplorable conditions and ruined environments. Its newly acquired status as a “renewable” and carbon-neutral source of energy also obscures the damage that cane production continues to inflict on the land and the workers that produce it. The concomitant deforestation, soil erosion and use of poisonous chemical fertilizers and pesticides on land and water continue to degrade the environment of those fated to live and work amid its waste. It obscures, moreover, the role of sugarcane cultivation as the most salient form of power and environmental violence through which empires manifested their hegemony over colonized territories throughout the Caribbean and beyond.1 In the discussion that follows, I explore the legacy of the environmental violence of the sugar plantation through the analysis of the work of a group of contemporary Caribbean artists whose focus is the ruins and debris of the plantation and who often use bagasse as either artistic material or symbol of colonial ruination. I argue—through the analysis of recent work by Ate- lier Morales (Cuba), Hervé Beuze (Martinique), María Magdalena Campos- Pons (Cuba), and Charles Campbell (Jamaica)—that artistic representation in the Caribbean addresses the landscape of the plantation as inseparable from the history of colonialism and empire in the region.

  • Blackbirding Cases
    SLAVING IN AUSTRALIAN COURTS: BLACKBIRDING CASES Home About JSPL Submission Information Current Issue Journal of Search South Pacific Law Volume 4 2000 2008 2007 SLAVING IN AUSTRALIAN COURTS: BLACKBIRDING CASES, 1869-1871 2006 2005 By Reid Mortensen[*] 2004 1. INTRODUCTION 2003 2002 This article examines major prosecutions in New South Wales and 2001 Queensland for blackbirding practices in Melanesian waters, and early regulation under the Imperial Kidnapping Act that was meant to 2000 correct problems those prosecutions raised. It considers how legal 1999 argument and adjudication appropriated the political debate on the question whether the trade in Melanesian labour to Queensland and 1998 Fiji amounted to slaving, and whether references to slaving in 1997 Australian courts only compounded the difficulties of deterring recruiting abuses in Melanesia. It is suggested that, even though the Imperial Government conceived of the Kidnapping Act as a measure to deal with slaving, its success in Australian courts depended on its avoiding any reference to the idea of slavery in the legislation itself. This is developed in three parts. Part 1 provides the social context, introducing the trade in Melanesian labour for work in Queensland. Part 2 explores the prosecutions brought under the slave trade legislation and at common law against labour recruiters, especially those arising from incidents involving the Daphne and the Jason. It attempts to uncover the way that lawyers in these cases used arguments from the broader political debate as to whether the trade amounted to slaving. Part 3 concludes with an account of the relatively more effective regulation brought by the Kidnapping Act, with tentative suggestions as to how the arguments about slaving in Australian courts influenced the form that regulation under the Act had to take.

  • 361 BLACKBIRDING a Brief History of the South Sea Islands
    361 BLACKBIRDING A brief history of the South Sea Islands Labour Traffic and the vessels engaged in it. (Paper by E. V. STEVENS read at the meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Inc., 23rd March 1950) Old Wine in New Bottles! ... An inadequate tri­ bute to those ruffians whose salty tales, told in Mar­ tin's Ship Chandlery, spiced with the odour of tarred hemp, canvas and cordage, stirred the imagination of a small boy sixty years ago: specially to John Poro from whom came many a welcome sixpence for some small act of service rendered. To me John Poro was a nice old gentleman; I still think so despite the later knowledge, that he was indicted, though discharged for manslaughter. This paper consists of two sections, one dealing with the subject from a different angle, I hope, from those previously presented. No stress has been laid upon the ethical, economic, or legislative implications. The object sought has been to give a general and ob­ jective view of this colourful period. The second sec­ tion of this paper contains a brief record of some 130 vessels engaged in recruiting South Sea Island labour since its beginning in 1863 to its conclusion in 1902; this as a record of vessels, masters, incidents, and fates is of no immediate interest but, documented reasonably well, may prove of service to some more ex­ haustive future survey. The task attempted would have been well nigh im­ possible had it not been for assistance rendered by our fellow-member, Mr. J. H. C McClurg, and Capt.

    Turpentine History Loop: Clubhouse along the bikepath to Suzie Court and Return 11 1 2 10 Turpentine was a major industry for collection of Naval 3 Stores through to the mid 20th century. A 4 7 gentle walking loop (1.5 miles) enables 5 8 one to see its history 9 on SGI and within 6 the Plantation Prepared by Jim Mott Turpentine is a natural liquid obtained by the distillation of pine resin obtained from live pine trees. The resin is harvested by cutting the tree bark (so injuring the tree) and collecting the sticky resin that the tree secretes in order to try to heal and protect itself. At the base of the boiling turpentine still, the separated residual liquid (rosin) is then poured off to harden. The rosin can be reheated to make it soft for use (as caulking for example). Turpentine was used medicinally since ancient times, mostly topical but sometimes as internal medicine. it was widely used for abrasions and wounds, and when mixed with animal fat it has been used as a chest rub, or inhaler for nasal and throat ailments. 19th and early 20th century chest rubs, contained turpentine in their formulations. Taken internally (sugar, molasses or honey used to mask the taste) turpentine was injested as treatment for intestinal parasites owing to its alleged antiseptic and diuretic properties. Brush was carefully kept clear from around each tree, owing to fire risk and to watch out for poisonous snakes. The sloped grooves (cat-faces) then cut into the pine bark gave two products, pine resin that slowly dripped into a ‘Herty’ cup and a hardened resin ‘scape’ that solidified on face; both products were scooped into pails, then barrels, and transported away to a large still for boiling and refining.
