In this work, we have studied thecorrelation between electronic charges of atoms and the fragmentation processes of these compounds.. The method has been successfully applied many times for EIMS, but only one time for ESI/MS. In this paper, we would like to apply the method to the ESI/MS spectra of another sery of 3-coumarinyl carboxylates. Good correlations was obtained. <#LINE#> @ @ Abernethy J.L., The historical and current interest in coumarin, J. Chem. Educ, 46, 561 and 856 (1969) @No $ @ @ Murray R.D.H., Mendez .J., Brown.

The product development process shall generate byproducts or effluents that may be toxic in nature. An efficient oxidative delignification process was developed followed by lignin recovery from the process effluent. The toxicity assessment of effluent generated during lignin recovery process is of utmost importance for the safe disposal plans and the present study aims at assessing the phytotoxicity of the effluent. The test involved 96 hour exposure of Oryza sativa to 0.0% to 100% effluent concentrations. The parameters of analysis included root length (RL), shoot length (SL), seedling length (SDL), seed germination (SG), germination index (GI) and seed vigour index (SVI). The effluent produced significant inhibitory effect on growth of the plant. Root length (EC25=3.05, EC50=5.14) and germination index (EC25=2.78, EC50=4.78) were the most sensitive endpoints, whereas seed germination was the least sensitive (EC25=36.63, EC50=45.45). Based on sensitivity, different endpoints were arranged in decreasing order of sensitivity as: RL=GI>SDL=SVI>SL>SG. The outcome of this study points out the importance of further characterisation of the effluent generated during lignin recovery and adoption of suitable detoxification method.<#LINE#> @ @ Vardhanan Shibu Y., Haridas Ajit and Manilal V.B., Closed Retting: A green Technology for Controlling Coir Retting Pollution of Backwaters, J.

The proximate compositions (crude protein, lipid, fibre, ash and carbohydrate), mineral constituents (Calcium(Ca), Potassium(K), Sodium(Na), Iron(Fe), Copper(Cu), Zinc(Zn), Magnesium(Mg) and Phosphorous(P)) and antinutrients compositions (Tannin, Oxalate, Phytate, Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), Tripsin inhibitor (TIA), Amylase inhibitor (AIA) and Lectin) were determined using standard methods in three portions of melon husk: Raw, Boiled and Autoclaved. The results of the proximate analysis revealed that variations in the proximate composition of the differently treated husks were significant except for the lipid content. However, there was no significant difference between the proximate compositions of raw and autoclaved melon husks except for ash and carbohydrate contents. The results of mineral analysis showed that boiling caused significant reductions in all the mineral elements analyzed. All the detected antinutrients were significantly reduced by heat treatments (boiling and autoclaving) and autoclaving was found to be more effective in reducing the levels of antinutrients than boiling. The results therefore showed that autoclaving is more effective in reducing the levels of antinutrients and had lesser effect on the nutrient composition of melon husk than boiling. It is concluded that melon husk, if heat treated, could be an alternative source of feed for live stock <#LINE#> @ @ Alkofahi A., Batshoun R., Owis W. and Najib N., Biological activity of some Jordanian plants extracts, Fitoterapia,5, 435–42 (1996) @No $ @ @ Achu, M.B., Fokou, E., Tchiegang, C., Fotso, M., and Tchouanguep, F.M.: Nutritive value of some curbitaceae oilseeds from different regions in Cameroon, Afr.

This poly (XO) modified carbon paste electrode (poly(XO)MCPE) exhibited good electrocatalytic activity towards the quantification of L-dopa in 1mM phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 5.0. The method was used to study the factors such as effects of pH,scan rate and concentration. Kinetic parameters such as diffusion coefficient (D), area of the modified electrode (A), limit of detection and limit of quantification of L-dopa were calculated. Simultaneous determination of L-dopa in the presence of uric acid (UA) was studied by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The interfacial electron transfer behaviour of L-dopa was studied by means of electrochemcal impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The practical analytical application of poly(XO)MCPE towards the detection of L-dopa in a commonly available commercial tablet sample has also been evaluated.<#LINE#> @ @ Khor S., Hsu A., The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, Curr.

Crude sample was washed, dried and several parameters such as % yield, TFM value, Total Alkali Content, Free Caustic Alkali Content, pH, Solubility, CMC Value and Antimicrobial Activity were determined. It was found that TFM value of Jatropha Soap is more than 60 %. According to BIS norms such soap can be categorized as Grade III Soap and it can be used for general bathing purpose. Also, Total Alkali Content,Free Caustic Alkali content,pH value etc. were found within prescribed value of BIS. CMC value of Jatropha Soap was around 0.012 M which shows that it can be used as a surfactant for purpose of micellar catalysis which is of great industrial significance owing to it’s cheap price. Surprisingly, Study of Antimicrobial activity on S.aureus revealed that Jatropha Soap has more bactericidal effect as compared to commercial antiseptic soap which indicates that Jatropha Oil can be utilized for production of high quality medicated soap. <#LINE#> @ @ Kulyal Poonam, Kanti Tiwari Uma, Shukla Arvind and K.

College, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, INDIA<#LINE#>19/2/2014<#LINE#>24/3/2014<#LINE#> The excessive and uncontrolled uses of Endosulfan pesticide in crops have raised an alarm for its toxicity not only in crops but also in drinking water. So, it has become imperative to detect and separate the hazardous pesticide Endosulfan from contaminated water. In present studies, molecularly imprinted membrane has been fabricated for the specific recognition of Endosulfan pesticide, which is widely being used in controlling insects. The composite membranes have been prepared by using Methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and Ethylene Glycol Di Methyl Acrylate (EGDMA) as cross linker. MAA was chosen as a functional monomer, as it is capable of strong electrostatic interactions with Endosulfan. The molecular imprinting of Endosulfan on membrane matrix was confirmed by the Solid Phase Extraction (SPE), UV-Visible spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) Spectrophotometry and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). This was followed by sensing of the herbicide by SPE measurements. <#LINE#> @ @ Kuniuki S., Effects of organic fertilization and pesticide application on growth and yield of field-ground rice for 10 years, Jap.

The slag obtained by the ceramic flux remelting at 1773 K according to XRPD data contains MgAl, CaF and MgSiO4 phases. High temperature X-ray diffraction data (HTXRD), collected at heating regime, show that the initial components exist in the ceramic flux at temperatures (T) 1473 K. The partial melting of the ceramic flux is accompanied with formation of crystalline MgAl4 phase. Detail examination of the slag samples by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis confirms results of the XRPD and HTXRD studies. <#LINE#> @ @ Yu D.W. and Devletian J.H., Electroslag Surfacing: A potential process for rebuilding and restoration of ship components, Proc. of the NSRP 1988 Ship Production Symp.,The society of naval architects and marine engineers (U.S.), Jersey City, 11A-1-18 (1988) @No $ @ @ Kuskov Yu.M., Penetration of the parent metal in electroslag surfacing in a current-supplying solidification mould, Weld.

TDI spills and leftovers are to be treated with extreme care in order to avoid human exposure to the toxic gases and wastes. It is necessary to neutralize or convert the reactive isocyanate groups of the spills or leftover of TDI into harmless compounds. This report elaborately describes the effects of TDI on human health and also the reactions of TDI with important functional groups and chemicals like amines, alcohols and water. This report also brings out the neutralization methods available for treatment of the minor spills and leftover of TDI. <#LINE#> @ @ Hepburn C., Polyurethane Elastomers, Second Edition, Elsevier Science Publishing Co., ISBN No. 1-8516-6589-7 (1991) @No $ @ @ Robert P.

Regenerative agriculture is a dynamically advanced modified techniques involving use of organic farming methods. Basic idea of organic farming is the minimum use of nonrenewable resources such as fossil fuel used for manufacture of fertilizers. The excessive use of fertilizers containing nitrogen in farming cause a serious and havoc damage to the ecosystem. In the present study, an attempt has been made to focus on the long term goal to help and maintain sustainable farming by adopting new techniques and save our environment by avoiding the overuse of fertilizers. The study concluded that these practices not only prevent pollution but also maintaining nature over ecological balance. Sustainable organic farming providing enormous environmental benefits. So, organic agriculture is eco-friendly, improve soil fertility and sustain high yield. <#LINE#> @ @ Pierre A and Ian, Liu et al., Seng, (2010) @No $ @ @ Elizabeth, Ryan, and Amy (2004) @No $ @ @ Elizabeth, et al., Sununtar (2006) @No $ @ @ Suthamathy N. and Seran T.H., Residual effect of organic manure EM Bokashi applied to proceeding crops of vegetable cowpea on succeeding crop of radish, Res.J.Agriculturre and forestry Sci.,), 2-5 (2013) @No $ @ @ www.enviropacinc.com (2013) @No $ @ @ www.gandlseedtreaters (2013) @No $ @ @ www.cytozyme.com (2013) @No $ @ @ www.amway.com (2013) @No $ @ @ www.ams.usda.gov (2013) @No $ @ @ Getproductsupport.net (2013) @No $ @ @ www.midwestagriculturesolutions.com (2013) @No $ @ @ Myleso O., Henning H.J., Lucimer S.

With this objective, 240 samples from 60 places were collected in and around Chennai. The analysis and classification is stipulated by international standards. Hydro-chemical and statistical analysis were carried out to assess the groundwater quality. The physico-chemical parameters, sodium / chloride ratio, chloride / bicarbonate ratio, calcium / magnesium ratio are used to identify the intrusion of salt water in the coastal aquifers. Calcium / Sodium ratio is used to identify the hard rock interaction or sedimentary rock interaction. From the study, it is concluded that, groundwater in Chennai is a threat under the saltwater intrusion. The anthropogenic activity is a key factor for seawater intrusion and contamination. <#LINE#> @ @ Chidambaram S., Sumar G.S., Prasanna M.V., Peter A.J., Ramanthan A.L. and Srinivasamoorthy, A study on the hydrogeology and hydrogeochemisty of groundwater from different depths in a coastal aquifer: Annamalai Nagar: TamilNadu, India, Environmental Geology, 57(1), 59-73 (2008) @No $ @ @ Sankaran S., Sonkamble S., Krishnakumar K. and Mondal N.C., Integrated approach for demarcating subsurface pollution and saline water intrusion zones in SIPCOT area: a case study from Cuddalore in Southern India, Environ Monit Assess, 184, 5121-5138 (2012) @No $ @ @ Suresh Babu D.S., Hindi E.C., Da Rosa Filho E.F. and Bittencourt AVL., Characteristics of valadares Island Aquifer, Paranagua coastal Plain, Brazil, Environmental Geology, 41, 954-959 (2002) @No $ @ @ Malini S., Nagaiah N., Paramesh L., Venkataramaiah P. and Balasubramanian A., Groundwater quality around Mysore, Karnataka, India, International Journal of Environmental Studies, 60, 87-98 (2003) @No $ @ @ Rajmohan N. and Elango L., Hydrogeochemistry and its relation to groundwater level fluctuation in the Palar and Cheyyar river basins, southern India, Hydrogeological Processes, 20, 2415-2427 (2006) @No $ @ @ Krishna Kumar S., Chandrasekar N., Seralathan P., Prince S Godson and Magesh N.S., Hydrogeochemical study of shallow carbonate aquifers, Rameswaram Island, India, Environmental Monit.
