The relative abundances of the MH+ ions are low, variable, and increase with increasing sample size across the chromatographic peaks and not with increasing value of x or n; hence, a major portion of these ions is formed by sample ion/sample molecule reactions. The base peaks in CH4/CI are variable and are determined by the ethylene oxide moiety (x 3). Those of higher mass oligomers (x  4, n 3) are MH+ ions and ions formed by hydrogen rearrangement decompositions of the MH+ ions ((HOC2H4OH)nH+, n= 1,2.) Isobutane CI (i-C4H10/CI) spectra are pressure dependent. The pressure in the source of our mass spectrometer is not known but it is described by the ratio of ionic abundances of m/z 43 and 57: P(0.15) = I(43/57)= 0.15 (high pressure), and P(0.05) = I(43/57) = 0.05 (higher pressure). The spectra obtained at the lower pressure (P=0.15), show less fragmentation to that observed with CH4/CI. Those at higher pressure, P(0.05), contain essentially MH+ ion. The base peak at both pressures is the MH+ ions. Estimates of the heat of formation of some of the CH4 CI proton transfer reactions were made from the thermochemistry of some of the decomposition reactions using n-butyl ether oligomer as a model compound. <#LINE#> @ @ Kudsk P. and Mathiassen S.K., Influence of Formulations and Adjuvants on the Rainfastness of Maneb and Mancozeb cow pea and potato, Pesti.

The pulverized samples were divided into two portions, first portion analysed for functional properties while protein solubility was determined on the second portion. The water absorption capacity, WAC in sun-dried leaves varied from 141.20.2% in A. hybridus to 162.10.1% in T. occidentalis. Foaming capacity and stability varied from 17.7; 1.0% in O. gratissimum; V. amydgalina to 96.8; 5.0% in A. hybridus and T. occidentalis respectively while the result on least gelation showed little or no variation in all samples. The freeze-dried samples had significantly higher (at P.05 level) foaming capacity and foaming stability but lower water absorption capacity, swelling power, solubility and bulk density (loose and packed) than the sun-dried samples. All samples analyzed showed varying solubilities at different pH range. <#LINE#> @ @ Edema A.O., Production of some common vegetables, Hort Res. Inst.

Obtained by the condensation of o-phenylenediamine, salicylaldehyde and isatin / 2-hydroxy Naphthaldehyde / acetyl acetone is presented. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, IR, Uv-Vis spectral data and thermal analyses. The elemental analysis of the complexes confine to the stoichiometry of the type [ML (H2O)2] (OAc)2. The complexes were found to be electrolytic in nature on the basis of value of molar conductance. From the spectral datas an octahedral geometry has been proposed for all the complexes. The possible geometries of metal complex were evaluated using 3D molecular modelling picture. The metal complexes have been screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. <#LINE#> @ @ Rai B.K., Synthesis, spectral and antimicrobial study of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) complexes with Schiff bases of 3-pridinyl n-pentyl ketone, J.

The influence of the four parameters (solution pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration and dose of the adsorbent) on the removal of Ni2+ at 27 5C was studied by batch mode and column study. The adsorption of Ni2+ was higher at pH 3 for FAN (95.45%) in batch mode study and 57.4% in column study. For FAN-MO at pH 5, the adsorption was 89.2% in batch mode study and 74.69% in column study. The maximum adsorption of Ni2+ onto FAN and FAN-MO was achieved at 50 minutes. The linear forms of Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, D-R, Harkin-Jura and Frenkel Halsey isotherms were utilised for experiments with varying metal concentrations. The adsorption of Ni2+ ions satisfies only Langmuir isotherm model. Influence of Cu2+ ions and Zn2+ ions on adsorption of Ni2+ ions on FAN and FAN-MO in binary and tertiary systems showed certain decrease of adsorption ability. <#LINE#> @ @ Guerrero A., Goni S., Macias A. and Luxn M.P., Hydraulic activity and microstructral characterization of new fly ash-belite cement synthesized at different temperatures, J.

Experiments were carried out by heating dehydrated borax (Na2B4O7) with NaNO2, KNO3, NH4NO3 in N2 atmosphere at 3500C and glycine was used as a fuel as well as a source for nitrogen. Borax was used as a boron source and nitrogen compounds (NaNO2, KNO3, NH4NO3) were used as the nitrogen source. The reactions were carried out in a tantalum autoclave having the provisions for the purging of N2 and vent gases. The as prepared samples were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV) and Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The reaction has resulted in the form of hexagonal boron nitride with high purity and good yield. <#LINE#> @ @ Laurence V., Gerard D. and Etoureau J., Cubic boron nitride: synthesis, physicochemical properties and applications, Mater.

Batch studies were carried out to investigate the effect of contact time, initial dye concentration and temperature on adsorption kinetics. Kinetic studies showed a rapid adsorption during the first thirty minutes. Application of pseudo first order, pseudo second order and intra particle diffusion model equations showed that the experimental results are well expressed by pseudo second order kinetic equation. Adsorption isotherm was constructed from the pseudo second order kinetic data. Maximum adsorption capacity, calculated from well fitted Langmuir equation, is 6.93 mg/g which increased with increase in temperature. The positive value of enthalpy change (∆Ho=20.98 kJ/mol) and negative free energy change (∆Go) indicated that the adsorption of MB on clay is endothermic and involve chemical process. Verification of intra-particle diffusion model showed that intra-particle diffusion could be one of the rate determining steps but pseudo second order mechanism is predominant. Overall adsorption process appears to be controlled by more than one step. <#LINE#> @ @ O'Neill C., Hawkes F.R., Hawkes D.L., Lourenco N.D., Pinheiro H.M. and Delee W., Colour in Textile Effluents - Sources, Measurement, Discharge Consents and Simulation, J.

All these factories discharge their wastewater into the river Massili which is tributary of Nakamb, one of the major rivers of Burkina Faso. Previous studies have shown that Massili was polluted due to industrial and domestic activities and that this had an impact on the aquatic life of the streams (dead fish); water drilling for drinking water along the Massili were similarly polluted by heavy metals from waste of the industrial zone of Ouagadougou. In view of all these pollution problems posed by wastewater on streams, it is important today to know the current state of the physicochemical quality of the effluents from the industrial zone of Kossodo that flow in the basin of the Massili. This is the objective of this study. We therefore took samples from ten (10) different locations along the pipeline of the wastewater discharges into the Massili. The following parameters were analyzed: BOD5, COD, nitrates, orthophosphates, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature and SPM. The results of our analyses show that SPM, BOD5, COD, dissolved oxygen and orthophosphates have values above the required standards, so the industrial waste pollute the Massili streams. <#LINE#> @ @ INSD, General census of the population of Burkina Faso, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, National Institute of Statistics and Demography, Ouagadougou, BURKINA FASO, (2006) @No $ @ @ Aremu M.O., Gav B.L., Opaluwa O.D., Atolaiye B.O., Madu P.C. and Sangari D.U., Assessment of physicochemical contaminants in waters and fishes from selected rivers in Nasarawa State, NIGERIA, Res.J.Chem.Sci, 1(4), 6-17 (2011) @No $ @ @ Shama S., Iffat N., Mohammad I.
