Solar Powered Insect Trap – An Ecofriendly Technology for pest ManagementBy P K Sastry
Abstract: The solar powered insect trap is environmentally friendly, energy-saving, easy to use and independent of the electricity. Taking into consideration of the actual situation, this paper utilized the sensor to access to environmental information and then designed the fuzzy control circuit, aiming to carry out fuzzy control for the operating conditions of solar LED pest control light. Based on the phototaxis of targeted pests, it adopted the strobe light way …

An Overview of Ceramic Matrix CompositeBy P K Sastry
Abstract: Ceramic materials often exhibit a combination of useful physical and mechanical properties, including high refractoriness, but their applications are restricted due to their brittle behaviour; in an attempt to improve the strength, and particularly the toughness, of brittle ceramics particle-strengthening and fibre-reinforcement have been utilized, with limited success. The factors which affect the mechanical properties of these composite systems are discussed, and the various experimental systems that have been investigated …

A Mini Review on Copper NanoparticlesBy P K Sastry
Abstract: The synthesis of metal nanoparticles is more important than ever. Copper has been recognized as a nontoxic, safe inorganic material, cheaper antibacterial/antifungal agent, and has high potential in a wide range of biological, catalytic and sensors applications more particularly in the form of nanoparticles. This resulted in the development of numerous methods for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles. As conventional methods like chemical and physical methods have several limitations so …

Zinc -The Miracle Nutrient of Agricultural Crop ProductionBy P K Sastry
Abstract: Zinc is involved in most plant growth functions. Zinc helps produce auxins. Zinc is a growth promoting substance that controls the development of the shoot. Zinc also forms enzyme systems, which regulate plant life. Yet zinc is the most common micronutrient deficiency in agriculture today! Zinc deficiency can limit yields of corn, beans, wheat, cotton, sorghum, fruits, and vegetables. Yet, without this essential ounce of zinc no crop would grow …

A Review on Adverse Effects of Herbicides and Pesticides on EnvironmentBy P K Sastry
Abstract: Pesticides can contaminate soil, water, turf, and other vegetation. Insecticides are generally the most acutely toxic class of pesticides, but herbicides can also pose risks to non-target organisms. The environment includes all of the living and non-living things that surround us, including the air, water, plants, soil and wildlife. Pesticides can be helpful in dealing with pests in our environment such as controlling invasive plant species that threaten native habitats. …

Thermodynamic Chemistry in Dyeing of Wool: A Study on Thermodynamics Chemistry of Dyeing of Wool ProductsBy P K Sastry
Abstract: Dyes are synthetic aromatic compounds which can bring bright and fixed color to other materials. It is described that over 100,000 commercially accessible dyes occur and more than 7x105 metric tons of dyes are produced universal annually. When a textile fiber is dipped in a solution of dye under favorable conditions, the fiber becomes colored, the color of the solution decreases and dyeing has occurred. The wool fiber is hair …

A Study of Thermodynamics of Ligand - Receptor Interaction in Chemical SciencesBy P K Sastry, V. Shanthi
Abstract: The formation and separation of definite non-covalent interactions between varieties of macromolecules play a crucial role in the function of biological systems. During the last few years, three main lines of research led to a dramatic improvement of our understanding of these important phenomena. First, combination of genetic engineering and X ray crystallography made available a simultaneous knowledge of the precise structure and affinity of series or related ligand-receptor systems …
