    Abstract: Some endophytic fungi live in plant tissue and does not caused any damage on their host plant. The endophytic fungi could produce antimicrobial secondary metabolites. Some endophytic fungi have been isolated from a medicinal plant Physalis angulata, i.e: Penicillium verrucosum, Colletotrichum alienum, Fusarium subglutinans, Aspergillus nidulans, My... Show More

    Abstract: The Feed-In Tariff (FIT) policy has contributed significantly in driving renewable energy investment around the world. Despite the lessons of FIT’s contribution in attracting private investment in renewable energy development around the world, Malawi’s FIT policy of 2012 has not attracted any private investor. This paper examined the financial mode... Show More

    Abstract: Parabolic trough solar collectors are the most widely used concentrators for solar thermal applications in the world. This is because very high temperatures of 150°C to 350°C can be attained with its use without any noticeable degradation in the performance of the collector. In this work, a parabolic trough collector (PTC) was designed using simple... Show More

    Abstract: A DFT study of oxidation reaction for ethanol molecule and representative conventional molecule in gasoline was performed. At first, the homolytic dissociation energy of the different C-H bond in ethanol and hydrocarbon molecules was calculated and the C-H active sites most likely to be attacked by oxygen molecule were obtained. Then, the reaction ... Show More
