In this study, twelve (12) weanling albino rats, of 28 days old with mean weights of 37-38g were randomly assigned into two (2) dietary treatment groups of 6 animals each which were equalized for body weight. One diet (the control) had 0% inclusion level of plantain peel while the other diet (the test diet) had 50% inclusion level of plantain peel. On the forty- second day from the commencement of the experiment, the animals were sacrificed, and the serum and organs taken from them were subjected to enzyme assay. Compared to the control, the result obtained showed that there was no significant (p0.05) difference in the levels of these enzymes in the serum and studied tissues of rats fed ripe plantain peel as animal feed supplement. Consequent upon that, we assert that the use of ripe plantain peel as animal feed supplement is safe and should be promoted to make the cost of animal production cheaper. <#LINE#> @ @ Fakayode B.S., Rahji M.A.Y.

A L9 orthogonal array of experiments is constructed and the resulted experimental inhibition efficiencies are adopted for the signal to noise ratio and variance analysis (ANOVA). The proposed Taguchi methodology consists of four factors viz., concentration of L-Leucine, concentration of PVA, exposure time and temperature, at three different levels which are connected in sequence wise to achieve the overall inhibition optimization. The experimental results performed with the selected factors and levels were further processed with Qualitek-4 software at bigger is better as quality character to find the optimized conditions. The experimental result at the optimized conditions are used to calculate the synergism parameter and is found be greater than one. <#LINE#> @ @ Beg Q.K., Sahai V. and Gupta R., Statistical Media Optimization and Alkaline Protease Production From Bacillus Mojaensis in a Bioreactor, Proc.

These nitrates by-products are extremely toxic for human being because of their capacity to transform hemoglobin in methemoglobin under the effect of Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter bacteria especially with infants. It is in this context that the present study was conducted in order to examine the toxicity of these compounds on the inhabitants of Ahomey and Houédo to Sô-Ava, localities the most exposed to these xenobiotics through the drinking water. After urine and blood analyses on empty stomach, the results showed the presence of nitrites in urines in the case of 80 % of investigated followed by leucocyturia and by proteinuria. These symptoms added to the results of the blood parameters are proofs of an exposure with nitrates and an infection of enterobacteriological origin. The populations of these localities are thus exposed to the methemoglobin. <#LINE#> @ @ Menard C., Assessment of dietary exposure of nitrate and nitrite in France, Food Additives & Contaminants, (2008) @No $ @ @ Agbandji Lucien; Patrick, Edorh A.; Gbago, Georges B.; Koumolou, Luc; Adisso, Sosthene; Guedenon, Patient; Ahodjide, Soulemane; Sinsin, Brice and Boko, Michel, Comparison of Heavy Metals Contents for Some Cigarettes Brands, American Journal of Pharmacology & Toxicology, (2012) @No $ @ @ Fan A.M., Willhite C.C. and Book S.A., Evaluation of the nitrate drinking water standard with reference to infant methemoglobinemia and potential reproductive toxicity, Regul Toxicol Pharmacol, 7(2), 135-148 (1987) @No $ @ @ L'hirondel J. and L'hirondel J.L., Nitrate and man: toxic, harmless or beneficial,CABI Publishing, 168, (2002) @No $ @ @ Gangolli S.D., Nitrate, nitrite and N-nitroso compounds, European Journal of Pharmacology: Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1101 (1994) @No $ @ @ Fan A.M. and Steinberg V.E., Health implications of nitrate and nitrite in drinking water: an update on methemoglobinemia occurrence and reproductive and developmental toxicity, Regul Toxicol Pharmacol, 23, 35-43 (1996) @No $ @ @ Wei M., Chemopreventive effects of S- methylcysteine on rat hepatocarcinogenesis induced by concurrent administration of sodium nitrite and morpholine, Cancer Letters, 1208 (2000) @No $ @ @ Kinsiclounon G.E., Edorh P.A., Guedenon P., Deguenon Y., Sossou B., Dougnon V.T., Loko F., Boko M.,Risks of Drinking Water Contamination by Chemical and Organic Substances in the Lakeside City of So-Ava in Benin Republic, International Research Journal of Environment Sciences, 2(1), 49-57 (2013) @No $ @ @ Clautilde Teugwa Mofor, Effects Of Vitamin A And Iron Supplementation on the Treatment of Malaria In Cameroonian Preschool Children, Internet Journal of Tropical Medicine/15402681, 20060919 (2006) @No $ @ @ Loko F., Biochimie analytique-physiopathologie-explorations fonctionnelles, manuel à l'usage des étudiants des techniques de biologie humaine, Edition CPU, 120-145 (2001) @No $ @ @ Ellen G. and Schuller P.L., Nitrite, origin of continuous ansciety, Londres : Preusman Edition (1983) @No $ @ @ Boukerche S., Aouacheri W., Saka S., Effect of shortterm alphamethrine treatment on hepatic glutathione redox system in rats, Arab J Pharm Sci., 3, 25-30 (2007) @No $ @ @ Komarov B., In vivo spin trapping of nitric oxide in mice, Biochem Biophys Res Commun;193, 1191-8 (1993) @No $ @ @ Fritsch P. and Saint-Blanquat G., Les nitrates et les nitrites, apports alimentaires et leur devenir, Sci Alim;12, 563-576 (1992) @No $ @ @ Eisenbrand G.

It receives water from both Pechiparai and Perunchani reservoirs. The Pazhayar takes its origin at Surulacode. The total length of the river is about 37km and it passes through Boothapandi, Thazhakudi, Putheri, Nagercoil, Suchindrum and finally joins with Arabian Sea through a Manakudy estuary. The present investigation was done to evaluate the sediment characteristics of riverine and estuarine zones. For the study three stations were taken in the riverine zone (S1, S2 and S3) and three stations were selected on the estuarine zone (S4, S5 and S6).The sediment texture revealed the fact that grain size ranged from 0.063mm to 0.5mm. Sand was predominant in the riverine side. The mud (silt + clay) was abundant in the estuarine region than the riverine zone. The estuarine zone was highly silty. The sulphur content decreased from the riverine side to estuarine zone. The organic carbon also showed the same trend of decreasing from the riverine zone to estuarine region. However a negative trend was observed in calcium carbonate which increased from the riverine zone to estuarine region. Probably due to the abundance of molluscan shells in the estuarine zone. The various parameters of surface sediments in the six stations were subjected to two way ANOVA and it was found that they are significantly correlated.<#LINE#> @ @ Ramachandra U.T., Gupta R.C. and Katti R.J., Macrobenthos and sediment characteristics of Mulki estuary, west coast of India, Indian J.

Various parameters as a function of contact time, initial pH, initial adsorbent dosage and metal ion concentrations were studied. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. The equilibrium adsorption isotherms confirmed that activated carbon has high affinity and sorption capacity for Cd(II) with monolayer sorption capacities of 35.32 mg/g. The kinetic study indicated that the pseudo-second order rate equation better described the adsorption process. The adsorbents were also tested for the removal of cadmium (II) from synthetic electroplating wastewater. The results indicated that the prepared activated carbon is an efficient (99.9%), alternative low-cost adsorbent for the removal of cadmium(II) from aqueous solutions. <#LINE#> @ @ Madhava Rao M., Ramanaa D K., Seshaiaha K., Wangb M.C., and Chang Chien S.W., Removal of some metal ions by activated carbon prepared from Phaseolus aureus hulls, J.

Biocompatibility of such medical devices is an urgent requirement of many agencies since, used on human body. Therefore, the materials that come in contact must be evaluated and determined to be safe for use, which may leach off of a device into adjacent tissue. Some leachables are not biologically safe and can harm the body after or during application. The study helps to determine whether materials that causes adverse effects, has immense importance before commercialization of product. In the present study an attempt has been made to assess skin irritation of a microporous PSA tape made of polyurethane (PU) acrylate by electron beam (e-beam) irradiation process. The results of the study may help in predicting the irritation potential of the test item in humans or higher mammals. <#LINE#> @ @ Stephen E., Krampe, Cheryl L., Moore, Charles W. and Taylor, Macromer reinforced pressure sensitive skin adhesive sheet material, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, US 4732808 A(1988) @No $ @ @ Singh A.K., Mehra D.S., Niyogi U.K., Sabharwal S. and Khandal R.K., Polyurethane based pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) using e-beam irradiation for medical application, J.

The purpose of QSAR studies is to save time, cost, and animal toxicity and to support green chemistry. Present studies are efforts to design and identify novel chalcones having high potency and selectivity. Present investigations identify structural insights of methoxy substituted chalcones in Linear and non-linear QSAR models. QSAR studies identify the profound non-linear relationship among structures of methoxy substituted chalcones and their biological activity measures (IC50). It concludes that any structural variation in present class of chalcones would bring a non-linear change in IC50. MLR produced efficient QSAR models (R2 = 0.809). We have designed new candidates employing structure-activity relationship obtained from QSAR models. Descriptor based inverse QSAR approach has been applied in computational modeling of new small molecules. Furthermore, they have been compared with synthesized dataset of methoxy substituted chalcones using molecular docking and ADMET studies. In course of molecular docking studies, newly designed molecules yielded promising results with better binding capacity (Docking rerank Score -103.089) than previously synthesized compounds. Computational pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (ADMET) studies revealed their better intestinal absorption, skin permeability and blood brain barrier penetration. The aim of our work is computational designing of novel methoxy substituted chalcones using QSAR and flexible molecular docking based techniques. <#LINE#> @ @ Milne G.W.A., Pharmacophore and drug discovery, In Encyclopedia of computational chemistry; von Rague Schleyer, P., Ed.; Wiley: New York, USA, (1998) @No $ @ @ Dror O., Shulman-Peleg A., Nussinov R. and Wolfson H.J., Predicting molecular interactions insilico, February 6, (2004) @No $ @ @ Li X. and Lin J., QSAR modeling, J.

The deexcitation cross sections are in the range of 6.1- 9.3 Å for Ne() and almost constant or increase slightly with increasing the collisional energy. The deexcitation cross sections are compared with those various reported methods. The results of Ne() by N has been also compared with the results of Ne() by N. The comparison shows that more experimental and theoretical research works should be needed to clarify the deexcitation mechanism. <#LINE#> @ @ Siska P.E., Molecular Beam Studies of Penning Ionization, Reviews of Modern Physics, 65(2), 337-412 (1993) @No $ @ @ Hotop H. and Niehaus A., Reactions of Excited Atoms and Molecules with Atoms and Molecules, Z.

The role of acetic acid in this oxidation reaction has been studied for all the phenols mentioned and summarised in this paper. It is very interesting to note that the reaction rate has a sudden fall by the increase of 5% to 10% acetic acid and further increase of acetic acid the rate of reaction becomes almost constant for all the phenols studied. The order of the reaction with respect to Chloramine -T is found to be one and that of with substrate is positive fractional. For the chlorination of phenols by chloramine-T, Acetic Acid plays a vital role. The experimental results reveals the importance of selection of optimum concentration of acetic acid for the chlorination of phenols by Chloramine–T in the absence and presence of Cetylpyridinium bromide (CPBr). <#LINE#> @ @ Balasubramanian V. and Thiagarajan V., Chlorination of substituted phenols with Chloramine-T: A kinetic study, Int.J.Chem.Kinetics, 7(4), 605-623 (2004) @No $ @ @ Pati S.C., Dev B.R., Behera N. and Mishra M., Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Phenol and substituted phenols by Barium Manganate, Proc.Ind.natn.Sc.Acad., 49A(1), 182-192 (1983) @No $ @ @ Thornton D.T. and Savage E.P., Kinetics of phenol oxidation in super critical water, J.
