The teak breeding program has long been conducted by Perum Perhutani and produced superior teak and was named Teak Plus of Perhutani - Jati Plus Perhutani (JPP). With good silviculture practices, JPP-teak of 9 year-old can produce no less than 100 m³/ha, with ± 60 cm of tree circumstance. The high demand for teak wood is an opportunity to develop JPP-teak with fast growing character. Research shows that the quality of JPP wood of 5 and 10 years of age can be classified into Strength Class III. Although the quality of JPP-teak is not equal as the teak gets older, it can be improved through several methods, such as densification, thermal modification, etc. Durability of fast growing JPP-teak can be enhanced by additional treatment with natural or chemical material preservation. Wood color modification can be done through heat treatment method. The color change of JPP-teak of 5 years of age that looked more brownies with variation in value of color change (ΔE*) of 1.04 to 48.53. Modification technology influenced the properties of teak wood and it is an opportunity of JPP to gain added value as a renewable forest resource product. With teak forest area covering 1.7 million hectares, Perum Perhutani has challenges in developing JPP-teak with more added value.

BACKGROUND: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an inherited orphan disease, in which the absence of capillary beds between arterioles and venules lead to arteriovenous shunts. Epistaxis is the core symptom. Several case reports have described the nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist timolol as a successful treatment method of nosebleeds due in HHT patients. OBJECTIVE: TIM-HHT is a single-site, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study to investigate whether the efficacy of standard laser treatment of epistaxis in HHT patients can be increased by the additional use of timolol nasal spray (1 mg/d). METHODS: Twenty patients will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment sequences. Primary outcome is the severity of epistaxis determined by the Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS). Secondary outcomes are subjective satisfaction, quality of life, as well as the hemoglobin, ferritin, and transferrin levels of the participating patients. Safety outcome is assessed by means of pulse, blood pressure, and adverse events. CONCLUSION: TIM-HHT will evaluate the efficacy and safety of timolol as an additional treatment of epistaxis in HHT patients in a three-month trial period. Benzalkonium chloride is used as a placebo, which has no documented positive effect on the nasal mucosa and hence on epistaxis in HHT patients (in contrast to saline).

Thermal decomposition and heat treatment method is used for the preparation of ZnO and the precursor are used for this is zinc oxalate, zinc nitrate and zinc sulfate after preparation of ZnO study on its optical and electrical properties has also been performed then its photoconductivity in air and two minutes rise and fall curve also measured. Which is very useful in study of switching characteristic of materials. XRD clearly shows that prepared material has good quality of ZnO, SEM indicates that synthesized materials of wurzite structure. Two minutes rise and fall curve shows that zinc oxalate has the best switching time among all three materials

Corundum in Khe Tre area essentially distributes in pegmatite bodies that intruded the granite of Ea Dui complex ((P-Ted) and metamorphic rocks of Ea Rock formation (PR2er). Corundum mainly developed within pegmatite bodies and in contact metasomatic endozone between pegmatite and granite or gneiss. Mineralogical composition of pegmatite is as follows; Major minerals: alkali feldspar (orthoclas, microlin) 60 -70 %, quartz ~ 15 %; Minor minerals: plagioclase, biotite, muscovite Accessory minerals: garnet, zircon, sphene, apatite,...The corundum here was found in intergrowth with feldspar and characterized by dark to dark blue (very rare) hue, opaque diaphaneity, subhedral to anheral crystals and few mineral inclusions. The size of corundum crystals varies from about 2 cm to 5 cm. Rough corundum crystals are rarely of gem value. Most of them can be used only as abrasibve material. For improvement of corundum to be used as gemstones, heat treatment method was proposed.

Heat Treatment Method

The fastening is an important part for fastening when laying the rails, which requires sufficient fastening pressure, strength, and durability. This article focuses on the fatigue fracture of the spring clip of a fastening and gets a result that the fracture accounts for alternating twist-bend load by examining macro-fracture. The crack origin is on the surface of the clip where significant decarburization and corrosion exists and its extension makes the clip break by examining metallographic structure and testing micro-hardness. The solution is to improve the heat treatment method and the surface quality avoiding corrosion.

BACKGROUND Immersive virtual reality (VR) games are increasingly becoming part of everyday life. Several studies support immersive VR technology as a treatment method for mental health problems. There is however minimal research into the feasibility, prevalence, and quality of commercially available VR games on commercial platforms as tools for treatment or add on to treatment of mental health problems. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence, feasibility and quality of commercially available games related to psychotherapy on a commercially available platform. METHODS We performed a search for keywords related to diagnosis and treatment strategies of mental health problems. The search was performed during March 27th on STEAM (VR content and gaming platform). A usability scale was used as a tool to look at the interaction and usability of the games, the VR-UI-UX-8. The tool contains 8 statements about usability scored 0-10, 0 indicating “Not at all” and 10 indicating “very much so”. The score ranges from 0-80 with a higher score indicating worse usability. RESULTS In total, 516 hits were found, 371 unique games. After the games were reviewed, 83 games passed the inclusion criteria, were purchased and played. Majority of the games which were excluded were either not connected to mental health, contained violence, adult content or were in other ways irrelevant or inappropriate. The mean score for the games on the VR-UI-UX-8 was 16.5 (standard deviation 15.8) with a range from 0-68. Most relevant and feasible games were found in the search words meditation, mindfulness, and LSD. CONCLUSIONS Commercial platforms hold great potential for VR games with psychotherapeutic components. The platforms are only at the beginning of the development towards serious games, e-learning and psychotherapeutic treatments. Currently the quality and usability for clinical and at home applicability are scarce, but hold great potential.

An effective and eco-friendly technology is needed to prevent postharvest loss of onion bulbs during cold storage. This study investigated the effect of gaseous ozone on the decay and quality of onion bulbs during storage at 2 °C and 70% relative humidity for two months. Gaseous ozone was adjusted to a concentration of 1.27 ± 0.024 ppm in the storage room by generating a high voltage discharge in air. After two months of storage, gaseous ozone significantly reduced the counts of aerobic bacteria (e.g., Rahnella aquatilis) and fungi (e.g., yeast and mold) in the onion bulbs by 4 log (CFU g−1) and 0.92 log (CFU g−1) compared with those of an untreated control, respectively. The microbial reduction by gaseous ozone resulted in a lower rotten rate of the onion bulbs, which was less than 20.0% compared with that of the untreated control. Moreover, the ozone exposure extended the storage life of the onion bulbs by delaying its color change and softening during storage. Our results suggest that gaseous ozone can control the decay of onion bulbs safely during storage.

Abdominal metastasis is relatively rare in dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the shoulder and back. Surgery is the best treatment option, whether it is radical or palliative surgery. Chemotherapy is the standard systemic treatment for advanced unresectable/metastatic patients, but the therapeutic effect is limited. Here, we treat advanced abdominal dedifferentiated liposarcoma through a comprehensive treatment method of targeting, surgery, and chemotherapy, which improves the quality of life of the patient, and shrinks the tumor significantly.
