Solid Soap Formulation with Ethanol Extract of Ginger Rhizome (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) Combination of Virgin Coconut Oil (Vco) and Palm Oil (2021)

Soap is a type of cleaning product that is used to clean dust, oil, dirt, germs, and bacteria that stick to the skin. Ginger is a plant that contains a wide range of antibacterial compounds including E. Coli, Staphylococcus aureus, B. Cereus, L monocytogenes and Candida albicans bacteria. Soap is made by chemically reacting sodium or potassium compounds with fatty acids derived from vegetable oil or animal oil. This study aims to determine the physical characteristics of solid soap with ginger r

A Synergistic Study of Phyto Cosmetic Formulation and Physicochemical Profiling of a Cold Processed Natural Lavender Soap (2025)

Cold-process soap-making is a sustainable method that retains the therapeutic properties of botanical ingredients. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a cold-processed soap using coconut, olive, and castor oils with lavender essential oil as a natural additive. The SOAPCALC formulation tool was employed to calculate the required lye and water quantities based on the saponification values of the selected oils. The soap was prepared at controlled temperatures (35–40°C), ensuring the retenti

Combustion Characteristics of Briquette Fuel Produced from Biomass Residues and Binding Materials (2022)

Proper management and effective conversion of biomass residues for biofuel production are crucial to reduce deforestation due to the cutting of trees for cooking and heating as a primary source of fuel and improving energy utilization of households. Thus, this study is aimed at investigating the effects of biomass residues of the coffee husk (CH), sawdust (SD), khat waste (KW), and dry grass (DG) and binding materials prepared from the waste paper pulp (PP) and clay soil (CS) under a low-pressur

Fuel Property Evaluation of Wood Pellets from Rice Straw and Refuse-Derived Fuel Blends (2025)

As the demand for renewable energy and effective waste management grows, this study investigates the potential of producing wood pellets from rice straw biomass blended with refuse-derived fuel (RDF). Six mixing ratios by weight of rice straw to RDF were tested: 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50 (wt%). The RDF used comprised 48% plastic, 25% paper, 23% fabric, and 4% organic matter. Pellets were produced using a rotary flat die briquetting machine, and key properties—including higher

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF BRIQUETTE PRODUCTION FROM RICE STRAW AND ITS UTILIZATION AS A FUEL FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION (2024)

The objective in this research was to study life cycle assessment (LCA) of rice straw briquette production. The comparison of the environmental problem in term of global warming aspect, midpoint impacts, and endpoint impacts of electricity generation using different fuel was also investigated. The environmental problem in term of global warming aspect was examined with IPCC 2013 GWP 100a methods. Meanwhile, midpoint impacts contributing to environmental problem and endpoint impacts or damages, r

Study on pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of straw briquette fuel (2020)

Abstract Biomass is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The content of each component has a great influence on the combustion of biomass. The combustion of biomass starts from its thermal decomposition. The main products of cellulose and hemicellulose are volatile components, while the main products of lignin are coke, and cellulose and hemicellulose are easier to decompose than lignin. Therefore, biomass combustion is a very complex process. In order to improv

Cost‐utility of real‐time continuous glucose monitoring versus self‐monitoring of blood glucose and intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring in people with type 1 diabetes receiving multiple daily insulin injections in Denmark (2023)

Abstract Aims To determine the cost‐effectiveness of the Dexcom G6 real‐time continuous glucose monitoring (rt‐CGM) system compared with both the self‐monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 1 and 2 intermittently scanned CGM (is‐CGM) devices in people with type 1 diabetes receiving multiple daily insulin injections in Denmark. Materials and Methods

Contributions of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring frequency and bolus insulin dosing on time in range: Analysis of data from CGM and connected insulin pens (2025)

Abstract Background and Aims Integration of data from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and connected insulin pens allows us to investigate their use to optimise glucose control. This study examines how insulin bolus frequency reported by connected pens and frequency of glucose scans by an intermittently‐scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) system relate to glycaemic control in a population of real‐world European users.

Characterizing insulin dosing behaviour and glycaemic excursions: Development of metrics using connected insulin pen and continuous glucose monitoring (2025)

Abstract Aims Connected insulin pens (CIPs) provide insulin dosing data that can be leveraged to drive improvements in glycaemic control. To realize this potential in routine care, insulin data need to be distilled into actionable insights for clinicians. We describe two algorithms for detecting glucose excursions using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data and then link excursions to CIP data to derive “insulin metrics” characterizin
