Automatic Control of a Sunlight Reflector Board for Achieving the Sunlight Intensity Set by the Greenhouse Operator

This article proposes an autonomous greenhouse system which has a sunlight Reflector Board (RB). In general, a greenhouse, which grows leafy vegetables, utilizes artificial light, such as LED light, as a supplementary source of light. However, artificial light cannot be used as the main source of light for photosynthesis for various kinds of plants. Our article utilizes natural sunlight, instead of artificial light, for growing plants inside a greenhouse. We develop an autonomous system to control the amount of sunlight inside the greenhouse by controlling the angle of the RB, which is located in front of the greenhouse. Since the proposed greenhouse uses natural sunlight, one can grow various kinds of plants which cannot grow under artificial light. Suppose that we accumulate the RB angle data for one year. Since solar motion repeats every year, we can control the RB according to this accumulated angle data. In this way, we can reduce unnecessary RB controls, after running the system for more than a year. As far as we know, the proposed greenhouse system based on autonomous RB controls is novel, since we control RBs for providing optimal sunlight for plants inside the greenhouse. We perform experiments to demonstrate the performance of the proposed greenhouse system.

THE POTENTIAL OF PLASTIC DEGRADATION AS SOIL REMEDIATOR FOR PLANTS: A REVIEW

The considerable accumulation of plastic wastes around the globe posed hazards to the environment. Thus, the potential of biological systems to degrade synthetic plastics is now a recent focus. Some insects, bacteria and fungi have been shown to ingest these polymers and convert them into environmentally friendly carbon compounds (Amobonye et al. 2021). Most microorganisms are used as a foundation of bioplastic production and also used for the decomposition of plastics. Earth is a home to promising microorganisms that have potent use and solution to the never ending plastic wastes. Yet, there is still limited study on the use of plastic compost as fertilizer and soil conditioner. Bioplastics applied in plants such as corn, soya bean, safflower, groundnut, sesame and sunflower present contrasting effects. Hence, there is a need to explore the varied effects of composted plastics to various kinds of plants. This review therefore presents potent plastic degrading microbes for the production of composted plastics as soil conditioner and fertilizer to crops.

Indonesia, with its biodiversity, is overgrown by various kinds of plants that have medicinal potential, including Terap (Artocarpus odoratissimus Blanco). The leaves of A. odoratissimus are empirically used by local people of Borneo Island to treat gout. The purpose of this study was to determine the antigout activity of the active compound from A. odoratissimus leaves through xanthine oxidase inhibition using the molecular docking method and to determine the ADMET properties of these compounds. Phytochemical screening showed that A. odoratissimus leaf extract contained alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids/triterpenoids, and phenolics. The results of TLC showed that A. odoratissimus leaf extract contained steroid and flavonoid compounds in the form of stigmasterol and rutin. The results of molecular docking showed that flavan-3-ol provided the lowest bond-free energy against xanthine oxidase with a ΔG value of -8.3 kcal/mol, lower than allopurinol and hypoxanthine as reference ligands. Flavan-3-ol interacts with xanthine oxidase through hydrogen bonding with amino acid residues in the form of Arginine 912 and Lysine 1045. The prediction of ADMET properties from flavan-3-ol shows that the compound can be absorbed and has good permeability. Overall, the flavan-3-ol found in A. odoratissimus leaves shows the potential to be developed as a xanthine oxidase inhibitor for use in gout therapy.

Vaseline treatment combined with a natural dye extract to enhance lip print contrast images

AbstractFingerprinting and DNA comparisons are the most commonly used methods in criminal investigations. However, lip prints can also be used as a supplementary tool because of the uniqueness of morphological patterns. A lip print not only can be used for personal screening by its pattern, it also carries genetic information that enables personal identification. Nowadays, there are various kinds of plants that are used for biological and histological staining due to an increasing market value associated with their application and sustainability. This study assessed the ability of natural dye extract to develop latent lip print contrast images and to preserve DNA for short tandem repeat analysis. Results revealed that roselle extract showed potential for the development of vaseline‐treated lip print contrast images on bond paper. Moreover, when roselle extract‐stained paper was compared with unstained paper, short tandem repeat profiles were not affected. Therefore, such dyes could be utilised for the development of latent lip print contrast images and their application could be extensively used to establish a personal identification database for reference in criminal investigations.
