Fermentation of Residual Wheat Straw by Penicillium chrysogenum and Streptomyces griseus Generates Phytohormones
Abstract: Residual lignin from wheat straw (RELIWS) is burned, that causes environmental pollution; as well as global warming by releasing greenhouse gases, an ecological alternative is its microbial by double fermentation by monosporic common fungi and native actinomycete that are able to transform it to phytohormones. The objectives of this work were: i) depolymerization of RELIWS by Penicillium chrysogenum, b) conversion of aromatics of RELIWS into phytohormones by Streptomyces griseus and …

Conceptual Approach to the Tehran-North Freeway Project from the Perspective of Miller’s Living Systems
Abstract: Having a systematic approach will greatly help stakeholders to know more about thecommunications, needs, and processes of the project. The approach to living systems that have beenexpressed by Miller, however, is derived from the field of biology, but due to its dynamic nature, it isalso applicable to other fields of science. In this study, we tried to investigate the Tehran-Northfreeway, an Iranian project from the standpoint of living systems. For …

A Comparative Study to Assess the Psychosocial Problems between Elderly People
Abstract: Aging is an inevitable process, as famously stated by Seneca as “old age is an incurable disease.” However, a more contemporary perspective by Sir James Sterling Ross suggests that rather than trying to reverse old age, efforts should focus on safeguarding, promoting, and prolonging it, echoing the principles of preventive medicine. Human life typically unfolds across five distinct stages: infancy, childhood, adulthood, and old age, each presenting unique situations and …

Bioremediation of Oil-Spilled Sites through Seeding Naturally Adapted Pseudomonas putida
Abstract: In the present study, crude oil degradation was analyzed using isolated bacterial strains. These bacterial strains were isolated from the crude-oil-contaminated soil sample. All the isolates were identified as species of Pseudomonas, in which the Pseudomonas putida P11 and LP1 demonstrated a strong ability to degrade kerosene, gasoline, diesel, engine oil and crude oil. Bioremediation for oil spill cleanup was analyzed by the inoculation of P. putida with the addition …

Analysis of the Degradation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in a Polluted Stagnant Salt and Fresh Water Environment
Abstract: TPH dispersion in both water media was investigated using a transport model that included convective and diffusion factors. This model was used to track the TPH concentration in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. Therefore, it was expected that diffusion alone would regulate TPH transport or spreading in the x-direction, or horizontal direction, while diffusion and convection caused by gravity would control TPH transport in the vertical direction. As a result, …

Preparation and Performance Evaluation of LDPE/Rice Starch Blend Composites by Extrusion Method
Abstract: Discarding synthetic polymers such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) used in food packaging ingredients is today considered a serious ecological threat because they are non-decomposable. The goal of this article is to create a decomposable polymer by incorporating a bio-polymer (starch) into its polymeric matrix. This article focuses on the preparation and characterization of rice starch (RS)-mixed LDPE decomposable polymer. In the first study, the effect of variability of RS content …

Analysis and Design of Tapered Web Pre-engineered Building (PEB) Structure for Siesmic Zones
Abstract: The use of PEB instead of a conventional steel building (CSB) design idea resulted in a number of benefits, since the members were designed according to a bending moment diagram, lowering the amount of material required. Because of its high-quality pre-design and prefabrication, as well as its light weight and cost-effectiveness, this methodology is flexible. If we use ordinary steel constructions, the time frame will be longer, and the cost …
