It was found that Samples obtained from Nasarawa and Kawo (pH = 5.8) were the lowest pH in the samples analyzed. These were similar to the pH of the control site Rigachikun with pH = 5.8 (acidic). Sample from Kurmin mashi had the highest pH value (pH = 8.5) and is alkaline. This revealed that most of the soils from the irrigation sites were acidic with the exception of samples from Unguwan Dosa and Kurmin mashi. It was also obtained from the ANOVA p = 0.0000.05 which shows that there is significant differences in the pH of soil across the various sampling sites. The real differences of soil pH was further analyzed by a post-hoc test using the Duncan Multiple range test with samples from Kawo, Nasarawa,Kinkinau and Rigasa were the least soil PH. In the second homogeneous subgroup there is Makera, Malali, Badiko, Barnawa, Kakuri, Kudenda, Danmani, etc. while the highest soil pH fall in the third subgroup which include samples from Uuguwan Dosa and Kurmin Mashi. The absorption and accumulation of heavy metals in plant tissues depend upon soil PH and nutrient availability which in turn increase the mobility of heavy metals. This variation in soil PH is due to excessive usage of fertilizer such as NPK, urea, super pHospHate, manure, pesticides, herbicides and other agro – chemicals as well as human activities and the use of waste water in irrigating the soil. As such resulting to an adverse effect on such agricultural areas. <#LINE#> @ @ Mahmud M.I., Essential concepts of general chemistry, Alkausar printing and publishing CO.

Furthermore, earlier studies have shown that hemoglobin A1c concentrations, measured by cation-exchange based methods, were higher in uremic patients. Our aim was to find a mathematical equation for correction of hemoglobin A1c and easy estimation of hemoglobin carbamylation in uremic patients. We performed in vitro glycation and carbamylation of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin A1c was estimated using cation-exchange based assay method, while carbamylated hemoglobin was estimated by high performance liquid chromatography. The results of in vitro glycation of hemoglobin were compared with those of uremic and diabetic uremic patients. We found that urea in the incubation medium increased the hemoglobin A1c value in the in vitro experiments. Moreover, uremia increased its levels in uremic patients compared to healthy subjects and in diabetic uremic patients compared to diabetic non-uremic patients. We extracted a mathematical equation for the correction of hemoglobin A1c and easy estimation of hemoglobin carbamylation in samples with high urea levels. Studying the difference between hemoglobin A1c measured by cation-exchange based methods and affinity based methods against carbamylated hemoglobin estimated by high performance liquid chromatography and performing further studies on a large cohort of patients will be necessary to confirm these findings and to establish the definite mathematical equation for correction of hemoglobin A1c and determination of the extent of hemoglobin carbamylation in uremic patients.<#LINE#> @ @ Tanaka Y, Kume S, Kitada M, Kanasaki K, Uzu T, Maegawa H, Koya D.

Walnut shells and almond shells were carbonized in an inert atmosphere and then the char was mixed with a solution of ortho-phosphoric acid. The mixture was then activated thermally in a nitrogen atmosphere and finally washed and dried to obtain the activated carbon. The objectives of this work were to develop a modified method to produce activated carbon from almond shell and to compare its physical and morphological characteristics with the activated carbon obtained from walnut shell. The internal structure of both the carbon was analyzed with scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and the dye adsorption capacity of each carbon was determined according to the ASTM specifications (American Society for Testing and Materials). The results of FTIR ( Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) strongly support significant chemical and spectral changes occurring with the activation of the almond shells for phosphoric acid treatment. Activated carbon obtained from the almond shell showed a heterogeneous carbonaceous structure compared to walnut shell. The prepared activated carbon was characterized for dye adsorption and was found that methylene blue adsorption capacity of walnut shell activated carbon is 51% less compared to almond shell.<#LINE#> @ @ The Indian walnut market, Production and trade statistics, (2011) @No $ @ @ www.indexmundi.com, Jamadi al Awwal, 1444 AH; April (2012) @No $ @ @ Walnut Market and Forecasts, March (2013) @No $ @ @ Ismadji S., Sudaryanto Y., Hartono S.B., Setiawan.L.E.K.

Growth experiments showed that both the tested algal cells, PbR-101 and WT (control) were found to be retarded with increasing Pb2+ concentrations in the liquid growth medium. It was found that the higher ID50 value of PbR-101 cell line exhibited some degree of resistance to Pb toxicity. When exposed to the liquid medium containing 50 M Pb2+, kinetic experiments revealed rapid removal and adsorption of Pb2+ in both the algal cells during the first few hours. Compared to WT, the PbR-101 cell line showed significantly higher percentage removal and adsorption of Pb2+ at 15 minutes and 48 hours interval of time respectively. Extracellular Pb2+ adsorption was found significantly higher than intracellular uptake in both the tested algal cells. Total Pb2+ accumulation and distribution between the external and internal cell fractions of the PbR-101 were significantly higher to that of the WT. Thus, the PbR-101 cell line appeared more resistant to Pb toxicity and hence may be used for remediation of metal contaminated sites.<#LINE#> @ @ Ajmal M. and Khan A.U., Effects of electroplating factory effluent on the germination and growth of hyacinth bean and mustard, Environ.

On the basis of spectral studies, octahedral geometry is suggested for Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and tetrahedral geometry for Zn(II) complexes. The synthesized ligand and metal(II) complexes have been tested against bacterial speciesPseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and fungal species Aspergillus niger (A. niger), Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) and Candida albicans (C. albicans)in order to assess their antimicrobial properties. The results show that the metal complexes were more active than the ligand. The DNA cleavage activity of the ligand and its complexes were assayed using PUCI8 DNA by gel electrophoresis. The result shows that complete cleavage of DNA was observed in Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes and partial cleavage of DNA was observed in Co(II) and Ni((II) complexes. <#LINE#> @ @ Bhendkar A.K., Vijay K. and Raut A.W., Acta Ciencia Indica Chem, 30, 29 (2004) @No $ @ @ Vaghasiya Y.K., Nair R.S., Baluja M.and Chanda S., J Serb Chem Soc, 69, 991 (2004) @No $ @ @ Vashi K. and Naik H.B., Eur J Chem, 1, 272 (2004) @No $ @ @ Mtrei R., Yadawe M. and Patil SA., Orient J Chem,12,101 (1996) @No $ @ @ Hossain M.E., Allam M.N., Begum J., Akbar M.A., Uddin M.N., Smith F. and Hynes R.C., Inorg Chim Acta,249, 207 1996)6.Kuz’min V.E., Artemenko A.G., Lozytska R.N., Fedtchouk A.S., Lozitsky V.P., Muratov E.N. and Mescheriakov A.K., Environ Res, 16, 219 (2005) @No $ @ @ Pal S., Barik A.K., Gupta S., Hazra A., Kar S.K., Peng S.M., Lee G.H., Butcher R.J., Fallah M.S.E. and Ribas J., J.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) andEnergy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) Analysis. Analysis was characterized in order to give inside to the properties of electric arc furnace slag (EAFS). The adsorption result revealed that the maximum up take by the EAFS was 160.92mg/g at an equilibrium time of 216hr. The pseudo-second order kinetic fitted well with the kinetic data, showing a high determination coefficient (R) of over 0.996. The adsorption isotherms of nickel(II) on this adsorbent for both linear and non linear isotherms were well described by Langmuir model, this is because it shown a good fitting to the experimental data when compared to other isotherm models. Moreover the nickel(II) adsorption was found to be dependent on the adsorbent dosage, contact time and initial metal ion concentration. From the result it can be deduced that EAFS could be used to effectively adsorb nickel(II) from aqueous solution.<#LINE#> @ @ Littui H., Yuan Yuan, S., Tao Y., Li L., Adsorption behavior of Ni (II) on Lotus stalk derived active carbon by phosphoric acid activation, Desalination, 268, 12-19 (2011) @No $ @ @ Rifaqatu, A.K., Moonish A.K., Removal and recovering of Cu(II), Cd (II) and Pb (II) ions from single and multi metal system by batch and column operation on neem oil cake (NOC), Separation and Purification Technology, 57, 397-402 (2007) @No $ @ @ Mohan, S., Streelakshmi G., Fixed bed column study for heavy metal removal using phosphate treated rice husk, J. of Hazard Mater., 153, 253-262 (2008) @No $ @ @ Jalali R., Ghafourian H., Asef, Y., Davarpanah, S.

The seven homologues of itaconate monoesters(IAn) synthesized are treated with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution to result in sodium n-alkyl itaconate mono esters which act as anionic surfactants in aqueous medium. The structural characterizations of IAn are carried out using FTIR and HNMR measurements. Specific conductance and UV absorbance values are determinedat different concentrations of surfactant and NaOH in aqueous medium. The critical micelle concentration (CMC), the fractional charge per micelle () and the standard free energy change of micellisation (mic) values are determined for each of the IAn surfactants at 25C. The effect of hydrophobic chain length (Cn) on the micellisation parameters CMC, , and mic are depicted using the three dimensional (3D) plots with Cn and NaOH concentration dependences. The CMC values decreased gradually with increase in Cn due to raise in the hydrophobicity of the micelle core, while values increased up to C14 homologous and further decreased with increase in Cn due to chain folding inside the micelle core. The synthesized polymerizable surfmers could find application in the production of stable functional polymeric nano particles.<#LINE#> @ @ Okabe M., Lies D., Kanamasa S and Park E.Y., Biotechnological production of itaconic acid and its biosynthesis in Aspergillusterreus, Appl.

The AQS redox system mediated dioxygen reduction process is explained. The scan rate effect of the AQS, Cu-AQS, Hg-AQS, Cd-AQS and Mn-AQS provides useful parameters such as surface concentration of electroactive species, formal potential of the AQS system, rate constant and electron transfer coefficient number. These parameters conclude that the reduction process of AQS is catalysed by manganese ion and oxidation process is catalysed by the cadmium and mercury ions. Multisweep cycle experiment clearly shows the hydroxylation reaction is occurred at the 6thpostion of AQS in the AQS and metal-AQS systems. The semiquinone formation and stabilized by the OH group in the AQS is clearly explained from the appearance of the peak at -0.3V. Except copper, all the metal-AQS system shows semiquinone peak. Thus copper undergo complexation reaction with 6-hydroxydihydroanthraquinone-2-sulphonicacid which is formed at the reduction process of AQS system after the first cycle.<#LINE#> @ @ Berdy.J, Aszalos.M, McNitt.K.L., In “Handbook of Antibiotic Compounds”, Quinone and Similar Antibiotics, III CRC Press Inc., Baca Raton, Florida (1980) @No $ @ @ Riebergen.R.J.D, Hartigh.J.D., Holthuis.
