In this paper, FT/ICR/MS was used to study ion-molecule reactions of C+ ions made from three different sources. The ions were reacted with PEG oligomers so as to differentiate among the structures of the m/z 45 ions. Time dependence studies of product ions from these reactions were also made. C+ ions produced from ethylene oxide and from PEG oligomers reacted essentially by proton transfer and gave similar spectra which are different from those of C+ ions made from dimethyl ether. The suggested structure could be any of II –IV. The reactions of the isomeric C+ ions from dimethyl ether with PEG oligomers show a methyl cation transfer as a product ion, (M+13)+ ions, suggesting a CH-O=CH+ structure as shown in structure I. The two isomers reacted mostly by proton transfer with minor amounts of methyl cation transfer which points to structure IX. The ions from the ion-molecule reaction of acetone and vinyl methyl ether react mostly by proton transfer could have the structure of X or XI.<#LINE#> @ @ Harrison A.G., Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry, 2ndEdn., CRC Press, BOCA Raton, FL., (1992) @No $ @ @ Eitchmann E.S and Broadbelt J.S, Functional Group-Selective Ion-Molecule Reactions of Ethylene Glycol and Its Monomethyl and Dimethyl ethers, J.

The phytotoxic effects on seed germination, root, shoot, seedling growth, seedling vigor index, tolerance indices of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were studied. All results, when compared to control, show heavy metals adversely affecting the normal growth of plants by reducing seed germination and decreasing root and shoot length. The toxic effects of selected heavy metals to seed germination can be arranged in the rank order of inhibition as: Zn>Cd>Mn>Cr. The toxicity of all heavy metals to young seedlings was found similar to seeds and their effects on seedlings increase with their increased concentrations in the aqueous medium or soil ecosystem. The present results thus exemplify a model system to screen for various concentrations of heavy metals for their phytotoxic effects and also screen for the seeds able to counteract the deleterious effects of such heavy metals in various types of irrigation waters and agricultural soils. <#LINE#>@ @ Sumner M.E. and Noble A.D., Soil acidification: the world story.

The method is based on complexation of Cd(II) ions with citric acid in potassium nitrate medium, followed by electrochemical reduction of Cd(II)-complex by DPP. Optimal conditions were obtained at citric acid concentration of 0.1 M, reduction potential of -0.56V (vs SCE) and scan rate of 12mV/sec. Under optimized conditions linear calibration curves were established for the concentration of Cd(II) in the range of 0.008-30 µg/ml, with the detection limit of 0.008 ppm. The method was successfully applied to the ultra trace determination of Cd(II) in waste waters from industries. Interferences were also evaluated.<#LINE#> @ @ Iwuoha G.N., Osuji L.C. and Horsfall M.

In this report medium components optimization was through one-factor-at-atime approach for the submerged production of L-Glutaminase by serratia marcescens using different additional carbon, nitrogen, amino acids, mineral salts and was treated with different concentration of sodium chloride. A significant influence of medium components (g/L) Galactose 10.0, Yeast extract 10.0, L-Glutamine 10.0, Manganous sulphate 0.5, KH2PO4 0.5, K2HPO4 0.5, NaCl 7.5 on L-Glutaminase production was noted. After medium components optimization, a face centered central composite design was used to identify the interactive effects of five independent variables,viz., Temperature , pH, Time, different concentration of Galactose and L-Glutamine on L-Glutaminase production. A significant influence of variables on L-Glutaminase production was noted. Response surface methodology predicted that a production containing Temperature 36.31 0C, pH 7.34, Time 67.63 h, Galactose 40.20 g/L and L-Glutamine 19.09 g/L to be optimum for the production of L-Glutaminase.This medium components and parameters was projected theoretically to produce an LGlutaminase activity of 2676.15 IU/ml.The used methodology was validated using this optimized media components and parameters, the L-Glutaminase activity 2670.01 IU/ml was obtained.<#LINE#>@ @ Brosnan J.T., Ewart H.S. and Squires S.A., Hormonal control of hepatic glutaminase, Adv Enzyme Regul,35, 131–146 (1995) @No $ @ @ Carter P. and Welbourne T.G., Glutamate transport regulation of renal glutaminase flux in vivo.

It has been estimated that the fossil fuels would be exhausted in the next few decades. In today’s energy demanding lifestyle, there is always a need for exploring and exploiting new sources of energy which is renewable as well as eco-friendly. Anaerobic co-digestion is a technology that utilizes more than one organic waste to produce methane, which holds promise for the future while simultaneously addressing ecological and agrochemical issues. In the present study anaerobic co-digestion of water hyacinth and poultry litter has been carried out in 300 ml batch digesters with 8% total solids content for different retention period. After completion of the retention period of individual digester, total solids, volatile solids, pH and biogas evolved is been tabulated Variation of Biogas production, total solids, volatile solids, and pH has been studied as a function of time. Anaerobic co-digestion of Water Hyacinth and Poultry Litter produced biogas yield of 0.3810 l/g volatile solids. A kinetic model was proposed using integral method of analysis which revealed the anaerobic co-digestion of water hyacinth and poultry litter follows a first order reaction with rate constant 0.026 day-1.<#LINE#> @ @ Okkerse C. and Bekkum H.V., From fossil to green, Green Chem., 1, 107-114 (1999) @No $ @ @ Steffen R., Szolar O. and Braun R., Feed stock for anaerobic digestion.

The surface morphology of the welded plates was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX). The electrochemical measurements showed that the heat affected zone (HAZ) is more susceptible to general corrosion as well as pitting corrosion in near neutral and in alkaline NaCl solution when compared to the weld zone (WZ) and to the base metal (BM). The EDX analysis further revealed the segregation of CuAl intermetallic particles along the grain boundaries due to the welding heat temperature and is responsible for higher corrosion rate of HAZ. The charge transfer resistance obtained from EIS study confirmed the active dissolution of HAZ in alkaline NaCl solution than in near neutral NaCl solution. <#LINE#> @ @ Bogar F.D. and Foley R.T., The Influence of Chloride Ion on the Pitting of Aluminum,J.

They are reusable, environmentally benign, could give high quality of products, and more effective than acid catalysts and enzymes for biodiesel production. Recently, heterogeneous catalysts derived from both waste industrial and biological resources have attracted interest for biodiesel synthesis. In this paper, it is attempted to review on recent development and application of low-cost, highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts which are mainly derived from natural resources or waste materials for biodiesel production via transesterification of different oils. <#LINE#> @ @ Gui M.M., Lee K.T., Bhatia S., Feasibility of edible oil vs. non-edible oil vs. waste edible oil as biodiesel feedstock, Energy, 33, 1646-1653 (2008) @No $ @ @ Ma F., Hanna M.A., Biodiesel production: a review, Bioresour.

Moreover, presence of amylase, lipase and CPK and their respective concentrations in the in the follicular fluid can also been detected. The micro-minerals play an important role in increasing pregnancy rates in apparently barren and reproductively abnormal mares. Provision of micro-mineral supplemented ration containing copper, zinc, iron and manganese during the vernal period of breeding cycle proves to be useful. The pregnancy rate increase significantly in micro-mineral supplemented livestock. Some mineral components of follicular fluid like Ca, P, Cu and Fe significantly increases as the follicles increase in size, while only Li, concentration significantly decreases with increase in follicular size. Therefore, it may enhance more success in reproduction, which may improve the certain macro- and micro-mineral level in follicular fluid of oocytes.<#LINE#> @ @ Gerard N., Loiseau S., Duchamp G. and Seguin F., Analysis of the variations of follicular fluid composition during follicular growth andmaturation in the mare using proton nuclear magnetic resonance, Reproduction, 124,241-48 (2002) @No $ @ @ Bordoloi P.K., Sarmah B.C., Dutta D.J. and Deka B.C., Acid and alkaline phosphatase activity in follicular fluid of goat ovary, Indian Journal of Animal Research, 33, 144-46.
