Simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation of reactive dyes using jatropha deoiled cakes
© BEIESP. Endemic pollution problems due to discharge of wastewaters are affecting all the aspects of human life. The poor quality effluents coming from industries is destroying the fragile ecosystem, leading to various apprehensions amongst researchers and scientific communities. Treatment of wastewaters have become an urgent need of the society, which cannot be ignored. Incineration, absorption on solid matrices and biological treatment are some of the effluent treatment methods available. These methods, however, have their own disadvantages. This work explores the application of jatropha deoiled cakes on the concurrent adsorption and biological degradation of reactive dyes. Reactive blue, reactive yellow, reactive red were used for the experiments. The combined experiments were tested for effect of glucose concentrations as well as initial concentrations. Glucose concentrations of 1 g/l, 2 g/l and 3 g/l were taken. All the dyes were varied from 100 ppm to 600 ppm. It was observed that combined degradation yielded higher degradation compared to biological degradation alone. The degradation rate varied with the variation of glucose concentration and it also varied with the initial concentration
Antinociceptive effect of methanolic extract of Murraya koenigii leaves in swiss albino mice
Background: The objective of the study was to evaluate anti-nociceptive effect of methanolic extract of Murraya koenigii leaves on thermal and mechanical pain in swiss albino mice.Methods: Thirty adult male swiss albino mice weighing 25-30 grams were selected and allocated in to five groups. Each group consists of six animals. The control group received vehicle (10 ml/kg), standard group received morphine (10 mg/kg) and test groups received dried methanolic extract of Murraya koenigii leaves (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg per oral respectively) 1 hour before placing the animal over the hot plate at temperature of 55⁰C . A cut off period of 10 sec was observed to avoid damage of the paw. The response in the form of withdrawal of paws or licking of the paws. The delay in the reaction time denotes analgesic activity. The latency was recorded before and after 15, 30, 60, 120 minutes administration of drug. After washout period of 1 month the same group of animals were utilized to evaluate the analgesic effect by tail clip method for better comparison.Results: All the doses of Murraya koenigii leaves significantly delayed reaction time in hot plate method and tail clip method. The results were comparable to that produced by standard drug morphine.Conclusions: Murraya koenigii leaves has analgesic activity which was comparable to morphine
Candida tropicalis spondylodiskitis in a patient with carcinoma of sigmoid colon: a case report
Fungal spondylodiskitis is being increasingly reported in immunocompromised patients. A patient who presented with severe back pain three months following laparoscopic resection of Carcinoma of Sigmoid colon is presented here. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the spine showed evidence of multilevel lumbar spondylodiskitis. Biopsy done via the posterior approach showed Candida tropicalis sensitive to fluconazole and resistant to Amphotericin B. Patient was treated with fluconazole and had good relief. Posterior pedicle screw stabilization was done to provide mechanical stability
Influence of blend proportion on mechanical properties of banana/cotton blended knit fabric
41-47This study is aimed at analysing the effect of blend proportion on the mechanical properties of banana/cotton blended knit fabrics. The banana fibre is extracted and subjected to alkali treatment and silicon softening followed by blending with cotton fibres in different proportions to produce banana/cotton blended yarns. Single jersey weft knitted fabrics are produced using these banana/cotton blended yarns and the fabric properties are analysed and compared with 100% cotton knitted fabric. It is observed that the banana/cotton blended yarns show decreased strength with increase in banana fibre content. In the banana/cotton blended knit fabric, with the increase in banana fibre proportion, the abrasion resistance increases, bursting strength decreases and pilling decreases

Implementation of ERP in an Automobile Manufacturing Shop Floor
The implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems has been known to be much more difficult than the development of a computer application supporting a single business function. This paper addresses the implementation of an ERP system in an automobile manufacture shop floor. This paper examines step by step procedure for implementing an ERP system within the shop floor and also looks improve business process and operations through good business communication system. The Development of a planning module by visual basic programming language were also discussed
Comment on: "Estimating the Hartree-Fock limit from finite basis set calculations" [Jensen F (2005) Theor Chem Acc 113:267]
We demonstrate that a minor modification of the extrapolation proposed by
Jensen [(2005): Theor Chem Acc 113:267] yields very reliable estimates of the
Hartree-Fock limit in conjunction with correlation consistent basis sets.
Specifically, a two-point extrapolation of the form
yields HF limits
with an RMS error of 0.1 millihartree using aug-cc-pVQZ and
aug-cc-pV5Z basis sets, and of 0.01 millihartree using aug-cc-pV5Z and
aug-cc-pV6Z basis sets.Comment: Theoretical Chemistry Accounts, in pres
2-Bromo-4-chloro-6-{(E)-[4-(diethylamino)phenyl]iminomethyl}phenol
In the title compound, C17H18BrClN2O, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 3.0 (1)°. The methylethanamine group assumes an extended conformation. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H⋯π and π–π [centroid–centroid distances = 3.691 (1) and 3.632 (1) Å] interactions
