Abstract

Timber harvesting involves a series of activities to move timber from harvesting sites to the processing sites. The activities could be divided into four main components: felling, skidding, hauling and stockpiling. Loading at the landing site and unloading of cargo at the log yard are some of the major activities in timber harvesting. The overall activity is influenced by various factors such as timber volume and weight as well as working time. However, there has been lack of empirical  information about what factors influenced by the productivity of timber harvesting in tropical forest in eastern Indonesia. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of timber volume and weight as well as the working time and their interaction on the productivity of Log Loader Caterpillar 966 F Type and WL 980 C which are the most commonly used equipments in tropical timber harvesting in Indonesia. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that on the loading productivity, the volume and weight of timber, the working time and interaction among them showed positive coefficient regression but others showed negative coefficient regression; while on the unloading productivity, volume, the working time, interaction between volume and weight of timber, and interaction between weight of timber and working time showed positive coefficient regression but others showed negative coefficient regression; and on loading and unloading productivity of cargo per round trip hauling, volume and weight of timber showed positive coefficient regression, but their interaction shows negative coefficient regression. Thus, these factors were taken into account in predicting the magnitude of tool productivity.

Abstract

Binderless particleboards (BP) were produced from three different species of Sulawesi bamboos. Parring bamboo (Gigantochloa ater) was extracted from Tanralili Maros while betung bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper) and tallang bamboo (Schizostacyum barcahycladum) were extracted from Batu Papan Makale Tana Toraja. The bark and nodes were removed, followed by cutting into chips; air drying, and finally converting into fine particles. The particles were oxidized using hydrogen peroxide 15% based on oven dry particle weight and 7.5% ferrous sulfat based on hydrogen peroxide weight. Hot pressing was applied for 12 min at 180ºC. Seven types of bamboo BP were produced based on the raw materials, i.e. the bamboo species namely; parring bamboo, betung bamboo, tallang bamboo, parring-betung bamboo with ratio 1 : 1,  parring-tallang bamboo with ratio 1 : 1, betung-tallang bamboo with ratio 1 : 1, and parring-betung-tallang bamboo with ratio 1 : 1 : 1. The results indicated that the characteristics of betung bamboo BP were better than the two other bamboos. The physical and mechanical properties however have not fulfilled JIS A 5908 2003 yet. Differences in BP characteristics were caused by the chemical contents of bamboo, especially lignin that is different from species to species.

Abstract

Antifeedant activities of berberine isolated from the chloroform fraction of Tali kuning (Tinospora dissitiflora Diels) were evaluated against two subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Reticulitermes speratus Kolbe, respectively. The chloroform fraction of methanol extracts of Tali kuning and authentic berberine chloride were used for comparison. Three replicates and levels of concentrations, 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/ml, respectively, were employed. Filtepapers treated with three chemical substances were used to evaluate the mass losses of the filter paper consumed by the termites, and filter papers treated only with MeOH were used for control. Mass loss (MS), termite mortality (TM) and antifeedant index (AFI) were used to determine the antifeedant variables. The results indicated that regardless of three chemical substances tested, the MS recorded from C. formosanus Shiraki were 2.87 times higher than those of R. speratus Kolbe, and among three levels concentration, 50 mg/ml gave the lowest MS (2.13%). Authentic berberine chloride gave the highest TM (99%), followed by chloroform fraction (88%) and berberine (73%). Interestingly, all antifeedant variables employed in this study gave AFI values less than 20%, indicating significant feeding deterrent activity against two subterranean termites.

Abstract

This paper introduces an examples of analyses on the elasto-plastic behavior of so-called “through-bolts type” wooden beam-column steel joints which are widely used in modern wooden residential houses recent in Japan. The analyses were done on two parts, one of which was “glulam column-steel gusset joint” where column and gusset are connected by using “though bolts” and the other part was “steel gusset-glulam beam joint” where gusset and beam are connected by using drift pins. By the theoretical analyses, initial stiffness, yielding moment and second stiffness were derived so as to include various parameters in a closed form. Full scale experiments were also carried out using three replications on two different types of test specimens. Comparisons between theoretical predictions and experimental observations showed good agreements.

Abstract

Study for local knowledge about ethnopharmacology especially medicinal plants used by the community is still limited. West Kalimantan possess a tropical rain forest with megabiodiversity. One of the areas where Malay and Dayak people use medicinal plants from the forest is Sekabuk village, Sadaniang Subdistrict, Mempawah District of West Kalimantan,  Indonesia. This research has two objectives: first, to summarize the local knowledge of medicinal plants in the Sekabuk village, and second to identify the the mechanisms of shared on knowledge on used the medicinal plants on each ethnic. The research was conducted by in-depth interview and survey for 45 days in the village. The research programme consisted of interviews, plant observations, and a collection of medicinal plants from five different subdistricts sites i.e. Gelombang, Malangga, Pak Nungkat, Sekabuk, and Titi Dahan. The whole plants, part(s) used, and remedy formulations were elicited from healers and voucher specimens were collected for identification and stored at Forestry Faculty, Tanjungpura University. The results showed that there are 66 plants used for medicine. The family of plants consisted of Zingiberaceae, Lamiaceae abd Mrytaceae. The leaves  were most frequently used (108), followed by roots (47), whole plant (21), top (6), stems and fruits (5), and sap (1). The methods for preparation and administration and the awareness of medicinal plants are different by ethnic groups and the living environments. The difference between the genders did not significant in terms of knowledge about medicinal plants. Meanwhile, A retention of traditional knowledge of medicinal plants was significant in rural of West Kalimantan. The plants used as medicine were clearly different by ethnic groups, Malay and Dayak. The living environments also affect the difference of used plants on basis of plants accesibility.

Abstract

Mangium wood from the timber estate have been developed continuously in an effort to reach the fulfilling of wood fiber and construction material needs to replace role of timber from the natural forests which has been decreased. Timber connection requires a connector such as bolt that can distribute both the load of wood to wood and the compression or tensile stress through all the connections. Bearing slip is a connector that is inserted into a hole in the wood, which bears pressure and shear. Bolted connection is the most commonly used because it is easy to apply, even though it is less efficient due to the shear forces will be retained by the bolts and wood only on the cross-sectional area of the bolt. This research trying to find the equations of the sum of  bearing slip connector to the strength of double shear connection  which composed of 17 years old mangium. The connector was made from  different materials that consisted of the same mangium, compressed mangium, ironwood and steel. The bearing slip connector consisted of two forms (dowel and rectangular) and arranged on one until three pairs of connector. The size and placement of the double-shear component based on Anonymous (2002), each form of the sample was made in 4 replications and all of them have been tested using a 35-ton Baldwin UTM. The result showed that the rectangular steel bearing slip connector has the highest equation (y = 5322e0.329x ) meanwhile the lowest equation was the ironwood materials (y = 3164e0.405x ). All of equations give high correlations ( R2 between 0.743 to 0.947).  Bearing slip connector can improve the ability of the connection in load-bearing. Densified of mangium able to raise the connection system's ability however not significantly, both in strength and displacement. Ironwood connector are not well used as a retaining shear pin because of easy to split and significantly much below in capacity than mangium wood. Steel connector resulted the higher load-bearing significantly than mangium and ironwood. Dowel do not differ in terms of strength as compared with rectangle, and each additional number of connector producing an increase in load-bearing ability significantly. Observation on the displacement value shows that for the value which applied usually in Indonesia reach the strength ratio (SR) as 92.21% to the proportion limit and 44.91% to the maximum load. This value was in below position of the US standard  (24.17 and 11.77%) and of the Australian standard (51.46 and 25.06%) to the proportional limit and maximum load respectively. Displacement achievement at the proportional limit varies from 1.1 to 2.2 mm, so that the minimum requirement of 1.5 mm displacement is not fulfilled by some treatments, however all of the connection system have passed the 1 mm displacement.

Abstract

This paper proposes a non-destructive technology to control subterranean termites Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren infestations. In the experiment, the apparatus for termites control used electromagnetic waves at two frequencies: 300 Hz and 300 kHz. Termites were exposure to electromagnetic waves on direct methods with variation of exposure time 15, 30, 45 and 60 min respectively. The use of electromagnetic waves for termites control are very beneficial, they are odorless, noiseless, friendly to environment, and easy to apply. The result showed that electromagnetic waves had an effect to termites. The value of termites mortality was range between 25.45~82.27% and the average value of termites filter paper consumption was between 8.89~39.44%. Meanwhile on control treatment, termites mortality and termites filter paper consumption were respectively 14.05% and 79.88% in average. The highest frequency of electromagnetic waves and the longest irradiation time caused the highest average value of termites mortality. The magnitude field from apparatus was range between 0.069~0.1815 μT, which is safe to utilize around the human body. The best result was achieved on frequency 300 kHz and irradiation time 60 min. These results represent important information about the potential use of electromagnetic waves technology for termites control as an environmentally benign alternative in spite of the insecticides uses.

Abstract

Green composites were needed by automotive industries because they are environmentally friendly, recyclable, lightweight and strong. Natural fibers such as bamboo and sisal are potential source of these materials and can be used as substitutes of fiber glass which is hard to recycle and not renewable.  In this experiment, bio-composites made from micro fibers of betung bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper) and sisal (Agave sisalana) mixed with a natural polymer of polylactic acid (PLA) were developed that may used for automotive application. Bamboo or sisal fibers were converted into pulp and processed using a disc refiner to produce microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) with fiber diameter around 10 µm. MFC was mixed with PLA and triacetin and dried. The mixture was processed in a mixer at temperature of 170ºC, speed of 60 rpm for 20 min. The compound mixture was removed and processed into pellets using a pelletizer at 170ºC. Pellets were processed using injection molding machine. The compositions of fibers/PLA were 10/90, 20/80, and 30/70. The mechanical properties were tested in accordance with ASTM standards. Result shown that optimum composition ratio of bamboo fibers/PLA was 20/80 which gave flexural strength of 62.30 MPa, flexural modulus of 3.89 GPa, tensile strength of 44.55 MPa, tensile modulus of 1.20 GPa, and hardness of 112.90 R. While the optimum composition ratio of sisal fibers/PLA was 30/70 which gave flexural strength of 67.83 MPa, flexural modulus of 4.43 GPa, tensile strength of 48.18 MPa, tensile modulus of 1.13 GPa, and hardness of 110.50 R.
