Zinc -The Miracle Nutrient of Agricultural Crop Production
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 …

Phytoalexins and their Significant Role in the Plant Resistance Management
Abstract: Phytoalexins are antibiotic compounds synthesized in an infected plant in reply to infection. Nematodes are capable of eliciting phytoalexins in resistant plants. Phytoalexins are antibiotic compounds synthesized in an infected plant in response to infection. Nematodes are capable of eliciting phytoalexins in resistant plants. Resistant lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) infected by Pratylenchus penetrans produces the phytoalexin coumestrol; soybean (Glycine max) infected by Meloidogyne incognita produces glyceollin; cotton (Gossypium hirsuturn) infected …

WATER MANAGEMENT IN TEXTILE PROCESSING INDUSTRY
Abstract: With the increasingly important requirement for textile manufacturers to decrease pollution in textile production, the use of enzymes in the chemical processing of fibres and textiles is rapidly gaining wider recognition because of their non-toxic and eco-friendly characteristics. They can be safely used in a wide selection of textile processes such as de-sizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing and finishing, where the alternatives are very harsh chemicals whose disposal into the environment …

Fast pyrolysis of Kaner (Thevetia peruviana) Seed to Fuel and Chemicals
Abstract: Bio-energy is now considered as having the potential to provide the major part of the projected renewable energy provisions of the future. Currently non-edible seed biomass has been considered as one of the major bio energy resource. Among the different non-edible seeds such as Jatropha, Neem, Karanja, Safflower, Pomegranate, Cherry, Mahua, Cotton etc., Kaner (Thevetia Peruviana) seed plant is a very widely available even in the tropical climate. In this …

Purification of Pectinase Derived from Peels of Mango, Papaya, and Banana using Aspergillus Niger
Abstract: Its name comes from the Greek word pectin, which means "congealed and curdled." Heneri Bracannot was the first to isolate and describe it in 1825. Pectin, a multifunctional constituent of cell wall is the high value functional food ingredient widely used as gelling agent and as stabilizer. Fruits contain pectin, a fibre. It's frequently used in food and cooking as a thickening. It's used to create medicine on occasion. Pectin …

Application of Acid Treated Carbon Derived from Biomass (Lantana camara) for Removal of Phenol from Aqueous Solutions
Abstract: The presence of phenolic compounds is toxic and harmful to human health and aquatic life. Five biomass: cotton stalk, rice straw, bagasse, wheat straw and Lantana camara were characterized. Based on characterization and availability, Lantana camara (LC) was selected for study as an adsorbent. LC and activated Lantana camara (ALC) were further characterized and studied for their suitability as the commercial adsorbent for removal of phenol. Equilibrium study on ALC …

Admixtures Effect on Consistency Limits and Shrinkage Characteristics of Expansive Soil
Abstract: Effective usage of admixtures into the soil mixtures improves the characteristics of the soil for better construction. Particularly admixtures such as rice husk ash (RHA), quarry dust (QD) and flyash (FA) showed greater effect on the two types of expansive soils namely black cotton soil (BCS) and clayey soil. The percentage of admixtures is in the range of 0 to 30% at an interval of 10%. This study showed effective …

Investigation on Catalyst Selection for Polymerization Processes in Petrochemical Industries
Abstract: Organic polymers are long-chain compounds made of several repeating units. These polymers are either natural, such as protein, cellulose, starch or synthetic, such as polyethylene (a plastic), polyesters and polyamides (plastics and fibers) and polybutadiene (rubber).Many organic compounds possessing multiple bonds have the tendency to polymerize in the presence of an initiator. Polymerization of these compounds can either be affected by the use of chemical initiators such as free radicals …

A Literature Review on the Mechanical Properties of Banana Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
Abstract: The usage of composite materials and environmental contamination, as well as the utilization of renewable and biodegradable resources, are closely intertwined in today's rapidly developing world. An environmental researcher is hunting for sustainable materials. The forms and sizes of both natural and synthetic fibers are diverse. Researchers, engineers, and scientists have recently become interested in natural fibers as an alternative reinforcement for fiber-reinforced polymer composites. They are used to replace …

EFFECT OF WARMING TECHNIQUE FOR PREVENTION OF POST-OPERATIVE HYPOTHERMIA AMONG LAPAROTOMY SURGERY PATIENTS UNDERGONE GENERAL ANESTHESIA ADMITTED IN SELECTED HOSPITAL
Abstract: Introduction: Thermoregulation is the regulation of body temperature, an important function of any organism. The body temperature is a vital parameter, like the respiration rate, heart rate and blood pressure. Hypothermia refers to the cooling of the body below the normal temperature range 36°C to 37.50C is normally accepted. Below this value, organ function begins to deteriorate. Temperatures between 360C to around 33°C are considered mild hypothermia. There are many …
