Measurement and Correlation of Phase Diagram Data of Hydrophilic Alcohols (1-Propanol/2-Propanol) + Salts (Na2SO4/(NH4)2SO4/NH4NO3) + Water Systems

Binodal data and the ternary liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) was experimentally determined at 298.15 K for hydrophilic alcohols (1-propanol or 2-propanol) + salts (Na2SO4, (NH4)2SO4 or NH4NO3) + water systems. The salting-out and the phase-forming abilities of the salts and alcohols for the investigated ATPSs were discussed. The salting-out abilities of the investigated salts follow the order Na2SO4 > (NH4)2SO4 > NH4NO3, which can be indicated by the location of the binodal curves plotted in mass fraction, the effective excluded volume (EEV), the salting-out coefficient (Ks), the size of the ions, and the Gibbs free energy of hydration of the ions. The phase-separation ability of the studied hydrophilic alcohols was discussed on the basis of the dielectric constant and boiling point of the alcohols. The results show that the phase-separation capability of the system consists of different hydrophilic alcohols in the order: 1-propanol>2-propanol. Furthermore, the binodal curves of the studied systems were satisfactorily correlated by a nonlinear equation with four parameters. The reliability of the calculation method and the corresponding LLE data was successfully proved by the Othmer-Tobias equation and the Bancroft equation

This result is consistent with research conducted by Budiarti (2009) and Mardianingsih (2010) which states that the milk production can be judged from the frequency of micturition babies as many as 6-8 times a da

Strategic planning for wood farming development (Case study: Urmia)

YesWood farming is one of the strategies of agricultural development programs to reform unsustainable exploitation of natural resources. Poplar is one of the known species for wood farming in the country. This species is fast-growing and has numerous Colognes has the ability to adapt to different climatic conditions. Fast growth, good economic returns and traditional agricultural knowledge, favorable habitat to agriculture are advantages of poplar for agricultural development. However, the result of previous studies indicates existing barriers to the development of plantation and its development need strategic planning. What seem essential today are strategies to overcome these obstacles. Accordingly, this present study with a holistic view trying to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of poplar farming. And the most appropriate strategies for the development of poplar farming in Urmia have offered. This research was a Field study and conducted using questionnaires. In this study, strategies were defined using SWOT analysis and the strategies were prioritized using analysis network process. The results showed the history of poplar farming in this region is the most important benefit to development and the many uses for poplar wood is the next priority. Increasingly replacement of poplar farming with alternative cultures is one of the main weaknesses of poplar farming development in this region. After that long return of profitability in poplar farming is the second priority. The most important opportunities for the development were the development of credit specialists to support of poplar farming and the most important threat was lack of annual financing of farmers. Also the results of strategic prioritization showed, Modern irrigation methods to reduce water consumption and planning to teach correct principles of technical planting, farming and harvesting are considered as the most important strategies

Medicinal plants in Inamberi Research Station of Manokwari and their conservation status

Papua is well-known for its medicinal plants. However, several of them are not well documented yet. Numerous efforts have recently been addressed to record medicinal plants in different parts of Papua. This study aimed to identify medicinal plants in the Inamberi Research Station of Manokwari, West Papua Province. All plant species grown in the research station were listed and documented. The method used in this study was the observation method with survey techniques. Literature reviews were performed to identify the medicinal plants that were generally used by the local people of Papua. The conservation status of medicinal plants was derived from the IUCN red list website. The total medicinal plants grown in the research station were about 43 species, dominated by Euphorbiaceae and Moraceae families. Trees were the dominant medicinal plants. Medicinal plants in the research station can treat various diseases and some of them can cure more than one disease. Local people of Papua generally utilize leaves as medicinal plants. The utilization of medicinal plants was simple: boiling and drinking, directly eating it, chewing and attaching it to the wounds, and rubbing it on the skin. The conservation status of medicinal plants was categorized as low risk. However, concern should be given to Pterocarpus indicus that has been categorized by IUCN as an Endangered species. Ex situ and in situ conservation are required to protect this specie

Submerged Yeast Fermentation of Cheese Whey for Protein Production and Nutritional Profile Analysis

Abstract: In this study, ten whey samples collected from dairy industries in Rasht (Iran). Five lactose fermentative yeasts strains (designated A1 to A5) were isolated. Beta-galactosidase activity in the yeast strains showed that strain of Kluyveromyces marxianus designated as A2 had highest enzyme activity (up to 9012 EU/mL) and the most SCP production from whey with the yield of 12.68 g/L. Ammonium sulfate as nitrogen source had an increasing effect on biomass yield up to 30%. Crude fiber, lipids, carbohydrates and ash content of isolate dry cells were found to be 4.9, 7.23, 33.19 and 14.05%, respectively. The true protein content based on nitrogen fractionation procedure was 29.25%. The yeast biomass recovering by ultrafiltration reduced the total COD to 96.26% of its initial value in the raw whey

Performance Evaluation of Bulk Liquid Membrane Technique on p-Nitrophenol Removal from Aqueous Solution

The transport of p-nitrophenol (PNP) through a bulk liquid membrane (BLM) was investigated to evaluate the effect of different experimental conditions on PNP partitioning behavior. The influence of solvent type, different salts in feed phase, the feed phase pH and PNP concentration in feed phase on transport efficiency of PNP through the BLM were studied. The results indicated that the highest removal efficiency of PNP was observed for 80 % xylene + 20 % toluene as liquid membrane, Na2SO4 as salt in feed phase, in the acidic feed phase and in 150 min. The effect of initial concentration of PNP on the efficiency of the separation PNP showed that the increase in initial concentration up to 350 ppm had positive effect, and more than 350 ppm had negative effect on the PNP removal behavior. Also, pertraction in BLM systems were described by a kinetic model of two consecutive irreversible first order chemical reactions.

FashionBrain Project: A Vision for Understanding Europe's Fashion Data Universe

A core business in the fashion industry is the understanding and prediction of customer needs and trends. Search engines and social networks are at the same time a fundamental bridge and a costly middleman between the customer’s purchase intention and the retailer. To better exploit Europe’s distinctive characteristics e.g., multiple languages, fashion and cultural differences, it is pivotal to reduce retailers’ dependence to search engines. This goal can be achieved by harnessing various data channels (manufacturers and distribution networks, online shops, large retailers, social media, market observers, call centers, press/magazines etc.) that retailers can leverage in order to gain more insight about potential buyers, and on the industry trends as a whole. This can enable the creation of novel on-line shopping experiences, the detection of influencers, and the prediction of upcoming fashion trends. In this paper, we provide an overview of the main research challenges and an analysis of the most promising technological solutions that we are investigating in the FashionBrain project

All-sky Search for High-Energy Neutrinos from Gravitational Wave Event GW170104 with the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope

Advanced LIGO detected a significant gravitational wave signal (GW170104) originating from the coalescence of two black holes during the second observation run on January 4$^{\textrm{th}}$, 2017. An all-sky high-energy neutrino follow-up search has been made using data from the ANTARES neutrino telescope, including both upgoing and downgoing events in two separate analyses. No neutrino candidates were found within $\pm500$ s around the GW event time nor any time clustering of events over an extended time window of $\pm3$ months. The non-detection is used to constrain isotropic-equivalent high-energy neutrino emission from GW170104 to less than $\sim4\times 10^{54}$ erg for a $E^{-2}$ spectrum
