    Hunger is common to all living things.  Humans have always had a social obligation to cook food, eat food, and share food with others.  The man who lived in a cultured social system has seen the development of civilization through the food available according to the land patterns in which he lives.  The purpose of the research paper is to explore the background of these

    Effects of nano-and micro-sized inorganic filers on the performance of epoxy hybrid nanocoatings

    Epoxy-based composite coatings were prepared using nanosilica (silicon dioxide (SiO2)) and zinc oxide (ZnO). Different concentrations (5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 wt%) of micro-sized ZnO particles were used along with a fixed amount (20.0 wt%) of nanosilica particles. The functional groups of the composite coatings were confirmed by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. This result indicated that SiO2–ZnO particles were cross-linked with the epoxy. The scanning electron microscopy images of the samples revealed a good dispersion of ZnO particles. In addition, the samples showed an improved adhesive and chemical resistance properties as measured by the cross-cut tape test and chemical resistivity testing. At higher loading of ZnO, the composite coating showed poor properties. Besides that, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer were used to characterize the composite coatings. The properties were enhanced at higher loading of ZnO particles. The oxygen transmission rate was also impressive compare with the neat epoxy

    Removal of Acid Green 25 from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption

    The adsorptive removal of Acid Green 25 by Ananas Comosus (L) Activated carbon was investigated in this study. The effects of initial dye concentration, contact time, pH and temperature were studied for the adsorption of Acid Green 25 in batch mode. At 100 mg/L of initial dye concentration the adsorbent removes 182.6 mg/g of dye from solution; it further increases on increasing the temperature. The calculated values of ∆G° indicate that the adsorption process is spontaneous, negative ∆H° indicate that the adsorption process is exothermic and the positive value of ∆S° indicates the increase in randomness. The rate of dye adsorption follows pseudo second order model with an r2 value of 0. 999. Standard adsorption isotherms were used to fit the experimental equilibrium data. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Tempkin models are appropriate to explain the adsorption phenomenon with good fit

    Abstract Psoriatic arthropathy [PsA] is one of the common seronegative spondyloarthropathies. an association between psoriasis and joint involvement first made when, apart from the clinical findings, diagnosis of PsA was based mainly on conventional radiography. In the recent times, imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and ultrasonography [USG] have been increasingly used in the diagnosis and management of PsA. . The interpretations provide additional clues to the pathogenesis of this progressive and sometimes mutilating disease. A positive radiological finding usin can detect the pathology much earlier. As is well agreed upon, early detection of articular and peri will help timely initiation of appropriate th joint destruction. USG ismore effective than X ray and less expensive than and having more or less equal diagnostic potential as MRI. USG is areliable investigatory tool freely av diagnosis and follow up of patients with Ps

    Growth and Instability in Significant Spices in India: An Empirical Analysis

    Background: India stands first in the production of most of the spices. Still we are not able to exploit the full potential of these spices since these are often subjected to wide price unsteadiness in the domestic as well as international markets which results in fluctuations in production and yield too rendering an intense discuss on spices growth and instability. The present study carried out to examine the trend in growth and instability of major spices grown in India. Methods: The growth and instability analysis was carried out at nationwide. The required data for the present study was collected for the period 1990-91 to 2018-19 which were further divided into three sub-periods. On the basis of highest area and production six major spices namely, pepper, cardamom, chilli, ginger, turmeric and coriander growing in the country was selected for the study. The growth rates were worked out by fitting the exponential growth function and instability analysis was used by generating Cuddy Della instability index. Result: The analysis has revealed that most of the spices have recorded a positive and significant growth rate in all the sub-periods. Sub-period I (1990-91 to 1999-2000) emerges to be the stable period in most of the spices which also recorded a notable growth rate compared to other sub-periods. However, sub-period II (2000-01 to 2009-10) witnessed a slow pace of growth in pepper and cardamom which registered a negative growth in area, production and yield. On the other hand, the study has shown comparatively unstable behaviour in most of spices in sub-period III (2010-11 to 2018-19). </jats:p

    Women at WorkHeart rate is a popular means to determine the degree of physical exertion. Fluctuations in heart rate occur due to changes in breathing rate, blood pressure, hormones, various actions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and emotional states, as well as working postures, environmental influences and health status. This study portrays the heart rate and energy expenditure of women employed in small scale seafood processing units at Tuticorin district of Tamil Nadu. In these study thirty five women workers were selected for assessment of heart rate. The energy expenditure, minimum, maximum and average heart rate were assessed using S-410 Polar Heart Rate Monitor for the women workers employed in three sections namely peeling, grading and setting. The working heart rate was recorded for a period of two hours. The average heart rate was high for the women workers in peeling section (106.0±7.1 b.min-1) when compared to that of the women workers in grading (94.8±8.6 b.min-1) and setting sections (90.1±7.8 b.min-1). Energy expenditure (2 hours) showed that the women workers in the peeling section expended 15.6±4.1 kj.min-1, while the women working in grading section expended 13.3±3.8 kj.min-1 and the women in setting section expended 8.7±4 kj.min-
