Comparative Study on the Anatomical Features and Chemical Composition of Leucaena leucocephala Wood for Pulp and Paper Application
No full textLeucaena leucocephala, locally known as “petai belalang,” is widely found in Malaysia and utilised for forage, reforestation, and as a source of timber for furniture and construction. This study aims to identify and compare the anatomical properties, chemical composition, and wood density of L. leucocephala at three stem positions (top, middle, and bottom). Wood samples aged 3–5 years were collected from the Universiti Malaysia Kelantan area. Anatomical characteristics were assessed by measuring fibre length, fibre diameter, and lumen diameter. Chemical composition analyses, including lignin, hemicellulose, ?-cellulose, holocellulose, and extractives, were conducted following TAPPI standards. Results indicated that the bottom section had the highest mean fibre length (1072.5 µm), lowest fibre diameter (22.0 µm), and the thinnest fibre wall (1.35 µm). The middle section exhibited the most favourable chemical properties, with the highest hemicellulose content (18.44%), lowest lignin content (28.96%), and moderate extractives (1.12%). Holocellulose was highest at the bottom (68.79%), followed by the middle (67.24%) and top (65.62%). Regression analysis showed that fibre length is a more reliable predictor of pulp and paper strength than wood density. These findings suggest that L. leucocephala, particularly from the bottom and middle sections, holds strong potential for pulp and paper applications
Comparative Tribological Efficiency of Hard Coatings on Titanium Alloy Across Lubrication Regimes
No full textThe tribological performance of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings on Ti-6Al-4V was evaluated under dry air and 0.9% NaCl at a 1 N normal load using ball-on-disk tests (3000 cycles) with alumina counterfaces. Uncoated Ti-6Al-4V exhibits high friction and wear; therefore, the influence of saline lubrication, relative to dry conditions, on the DLC response was quantified. Steady-state coefficients of friction (COF; mean ± SD, n = 3) decreased from 0.38 ± 0.03 (dry) to 0.19 ± 0.02 (0.9% NaCl; p < 0.001), accompanied by shallower wear tracks and carbon-rich debris consistent with tribofilm stabilization. The ball-specific wear rate (k) likewise decreased from 4.60×10−5 to 2.23×10−5 mm³/(N·m) (~51% reduction). These findings highlight the coupling between aqueous lubrication and DLC tribofilm stability and provide guidance for components operating in saline-like environments

Gender-Based Assessment of Indigenous People towards Conservation, Management, and Perception in Taguibo Watershed, Butuan City, Philippines
No full textThe Taguibo Watershed is a key biodiversity area in Caraga Region, providing a source of water to the entire city of Butuan. A gender-based analysis of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in Taguibo watershed aims to determine the socioeconomic, conservation, environmental management practices and perception of male and female respondents. Following a mixed-method approach, the data were gathered through the use of structured survey questionnaires, key informant interviews, and validation through a focus group discussion. Data were analyzed using Spearman Correlation to determine the relationship. A total of 323 IP respondents, 113 (35%) were male and 210 (65%) were female. Most had low education and family income, high percentage of the occupation were housewives and farmers. Gender had a very highly significant (p.<0001) relationship on occupation, but household members (p 0.4460), educational attainment (p 0.0335), and family income (p 0.1299) have no significant relationship. The study reveals that gender should not be a basis for determining one’s ability to participate in the conservation and effective management of the Taguibo Watershed. Respondents expressed confidence that continued direct management and conservation of the watershed by members of the indigenous cultural community can lead to sustainable outcomes
