The Effect of Enriched Daphnia sp. with Different Source of Oil on the Survival Rate and the Growth of Oreochromis niloticus Larvae by I. Mokoginta, Dedi Jusadi, T.L. Pelawi

“…Four treatments were used in this experiment; first, Daphnia sp. without encrichment, second Daphnia sp. enriched with fish oil, third Daphnia sp. enriched with corn oil and the fourth Daphnia sp. enriched with coconut oil. Three days old larvae fed on Daphnia sp. with size of £ 0,5 mm at the first week and 0,6 – 1,0 mm as the second week of this experiment. …”

Synergistic Microbial Consortium for Bioenergy Generation from Complex Natural Energy Sources by Victor Bochuan Wang, Joey Kuok Hoong Yam, Song-Lin Chua, Qichun Zhang, Bin Cao, Joachim Loo Say Chye, Liang Yang

“…Here, we established a stable microbial consortium with Escherichia coli and Shewanella oneidensis in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to produce bioenergy from an abundant natural energy source, in the form of the sarcocarp harvested from coconuts. This component is mostly discarded as waste. …”

Redshifting the Study of Cold Brown Dwarfs and Exoplanets: The Mid-infrared Wavelength Region as an Indicator of Surface Gravity and Mass by S. K. Leggett, Pascal Tremblin

“…We identify 10 T dwarfs with red W2−W3 colors that are likely to be very-low-gravity, young, few-Jupiter-mass objects; one of these is the previously known COCONUTS-2b. The unusual Y dwarf WISEPA J182831.08+265037.8 is blue in W2−W3, and we find that the 4–18 μ m JWST spectrum is well reproduced if the system is a pair of high-gravity 400 K dwarfs. …”
