Sample plots were established in a systematic method along a line transect at increasing distance of 1, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 m from the quarry processing plant. A composite soil sample was drawn from a depth of 0 – 15 cm. These were air dried, passed through a 2 mm sieve and properly labeled. Plant samples in each plot were identified and collected for laboratory analysis. Both soil and plant samples were then analysed for heavy metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, Co, Fe, Se Mn) using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Four (4) soil samples were collected in each specified distance and 1 sample of soil and plants were collected 2 km away from the quarry site. Results showed that the concentrations of heavy metals from soil samples were decreasing with increasing distance from 1 to 300 m (Cd 0.21 – 0.04 mg/kg, Cr 0.23 – 0.03 mg/kg, Pb 0.25 – 0.03 mg/kg, Se 0.19 – 0.02 mg/kg, Ni 0.16 – 0.02 mg/kg, Co 0.13 – 0.02 mg/kg, Mn 7.82 – 5.40 mg/kg, Zn 5.01 – 2.82 mg/kg) with the exception of Fe and Cu, which decreased and increased randomly at various points. The study showed low concentrations of Cd 0.05 mg/kg, Cr 0.02 mg/kg, Pb 0.02 mg/kg, Se 0.01 mg/kg, Ni 0.01 mg/kg and Co 0.01 mg/kg in the plant tissue samples. The study concluded that quarrying activities elevated the soil heavy metal  content up to the range of 300 m away from the quarrying site and the concentration of heavy metals in plant tissues around the quarry site were below the acceptable toxic level of heavy metals in plants. This can be attributed to the number of years quarry activities in the study area have been in operation.  <#LINE#> @ @ Kemp D.D., The environment Dictionary.

The influence of [indole], [peroxomonosulphate], [H], ionic strength, percentage of acetone and temperature on the rate of reaction was carried out. The order with respect to [peroxomonosulphate] and [indole] was also one. The total reaction was second order, first order each with respect to [Indole] and [PMS]. No effect of [H] on the rate was observed while increase of [H]. Variations of ionic strength had no effect and Increase of percentage of aqueous acetone decreased the rate. Suitable mechanism in conformity with the kinetic observations has been proposed and Activation and thermodynamic parameters have been computed basis of the observed data. The product isatin was confirmed from the IR and NMR spectral analysis. <#LINE#> @ @ Ermer O. and Robke C., Helv. Chim. Acta, 86, 2908 (2003) @No $ @ @ Spiro M., Electrochim.

Box 1, Kyambogo, UGANDA<#LINE#>9/5/2014<#LINE#>28/7/2014<#LINE#> This research was focused at synthesizing new antifungal N-tosyl-L-glutamoyl derivatives with the aim of relating the structure with the expected biological activities. Synthesis N-tosyl-L-glutamic acid was prepared by reacting p-tosyl chloride with L-glutamic acid in sodium hydroxide-ether mixture. The anhydride was prepared by refluxing N-tosyl-L-glutamic acid with acetic anhydride. N-tosyl-L-glutamoy lamino acids were obtained using 1:1 mole of the tosyl derivatives with amino acids: glycine, L- alanine, L-Leucine , L-valine and L-tyrosine.N-tosyl-L-glutamoylamino acid methyl esters were prepared by the action of thionyl chloride in methanol on N-tosyl-L-glutamoylamino acid derivatives. N-tosyl-L-glutamoylaniline derivatives and N-tosyl-L-glutamoyl-p-amino benzoic acid were achieved by refluxing the amines and p-aminobenzoic acid in glacial acetic acid with the anhydride. The acid chloride was synthesized by refluxing N-tosyl-L-glutamoyl-p-amino benzoic acid in thionyl chloride. Stirring the acid chloride with appropriate amino acid in triethylamine-benzene mixture yielded the N-tosyl-L-glutamoyl-p-aminobenzoylamino acids. Esterifying these derivatives with Methanol in thionylchloride afforded the methyl esters. The acid azide was prepared by stirring sodium azide in dry benzene with N-tosyl-L-glutamoyl-p-aminobenzoyl chloride. N-tosyl-L-glutamoylamino phenyl ureaswere obtained by Curtius rearrangement by coupling of acid azides with appropriate amino acids in dry benzene. The structures of synthesized derivatives were confirmed by IR spectroscopy, H NMR spectroscopy at 90 MHz with TMS as internal standard and elemental analysis. The synthesized derivativeswere tested for their antifungal properties against five fungal isolates, Yeast, Fusariumsolani, Fusarium moniliforme, Penicillium expansum and cladosporiumcladosporioides. Twenty out of the 33 compounds of the N-Tosylglutamoyl derivatives had no activity on the tested micro-organisms, while 13 compounds were found to affect the growth of Yeast, Fusariumsolani, Fusarium moniliforme, Penicillium expansum and cladosporiumcladosporioides with varying degrees. The study showed that changing the structures of the synthesized compounds resulted in increased, decreased or a complete loss in biological activity, which proves that they could be of practical pharmaceutical application. <#LINE#> @ @ Bergmann M. and Zervas L;Use of Esters of Simple Ketoximes in Peptide Synthesis, Diss.

This study reveals that the TME are much more concentrated in sediments [Cu: 46-356 mg/kg; Zn: 2.91 to 323 mg/kg; Pb: 1.53 to 4.17 mg/kg; Cd: 0 to 1.14 mg/kg], and in fish [Cu: 19 mg/kg; Zn: 10.36 mg/kg; Pb: 0.56 mg/kg; Cd: 0 mg/kg] and in the water column: [Cu: from 0.1 to 0.44 mg/L; Zn: 0.3 to 1.1 mg/L; Pb: from 0.013 to 0.33 mg/L; Cd: 0.067 to 0.009 mg/L]. Speciation of copper metal, the most abundant in sediments (average 171.44 mg/kg) for all sampling points, reveals that it is much more present in the oxide (29.83%) and the acid-soluble fraction (25.70%) at Guézin against 35.23% acid-soluble fraction and 30.92% in the reducible fraction Tohonou.  <#LINE#> @ @ Badahoui A., Fiogbé E.D. et Boko M., Les causes de la dégradation du lac Ahémé et ses chenaux, Int.

The results showed the variation in inhibition performance of the inhibitors with varying concentrations and temperatures. The maximum efficiency was found to be 91% at 2x10-4 M concentration of the inhibitors for the immersion period of 3 hours. Langmuir was tested to describe the adsorption behavior of inhibitor on 316L SS surface. Potentiodynamic polarization study clearly revealed that these compounds act as mixed type inhibitors. The results of the electrochemical impedance study showed a decrease in double layer capacitance and increase in charge transfer resistance.The results of various electrochemical techniques show good agreements with each other.<#LINE#> @ @ Malik A.U., Andijani I.N., Siddiqi N.A., Ahmed S. and Al-Mobayaed A.S., studies on the role of sulfamic acid as a descalant in desalination plants, Technical Report No. SWCC RDC)-32 in (1993) @No $ @ @ Encyclopedia of chemical technology, Wiley Interscience Publication, 21, 951-57 (1983) @No $ @ @ Process Industries, NACE Publication 267-268 (1986) @No $ @ @ Metal Hand Book, Corrosion, Specific Industries and Environments, American Society of Metals, 13, 1140-11 (1987) @No $ @ @ Sun J., Yan C.G. and Han Y, Synth Commun., 31(1) 151-154 (2001) @No $ @ @ SzocsE., VastagG.

The DNA resides in the cell organelles nucleus and mitochondria of biological samples such as blood, bone and tissue. The cell has a cell membrane enclosing the cytoplasm containing cell organelles. The DNA is the self replicating inheriting molecule and encodes all the information of the function of cell organelles. The process of DNA extraction is a chemical cascade of lysing the cell, exposing the DNA to the lysis buffer, separation of DNA from bonded proteins and eluting the DNA in a preservative solution. The cell membrane is lysed in a salt solution of Tris, EDTA and NaCl. The EDTA chelated the inorganic ions of the cell membrane and destabilized it. Tris maintain the pH at 8.0 and also interacted with the lipopolysaccharide of the membrane for further destabilization and hypertonic NaCl solution squeeze out the cell contents. The SDS with polar head and non-polar tail interacted with double layer nuclear and mitochondrial membrane for lysis. The exposed DNA from the cell organelles has boned protein molecules. The serine protease proteinase K digests the protein part of DNA protein complex. The proteins unfolded for interaction of its non-polar groups with non-polar phenol and separated out in the phenol solution. The protein separated DNA solution was mixed with phenol, chloroform and isoamyl alcohol to further denature the residual protein and separate it out with the lipids. The isoamyl alcohol reduces the foaming of phenol and chloroform mix. The DNA was precipitated out from the separated solution by ethanol and sodium acetate. This study investigated the quantity and quality of extracted DNA from cell organelles by spectrophotometric and gel electrophoresis analysis.<#LINE#> @ @ Kirby K.S., 1957.

This kind of multifunctional conducting materials will also be interesting in terms of biocompatibility, low cost and environmental stability. The alternating current conductivity measurement is an important experimental technique to probe the microscopic images of a highly disordered system and all the studies provided fundamental and technological applications. Polaron defect occurs due to incorporation of conducting polymer inside the synthetic hydrogel, therefore for quantifying and investigating the disordered composites system, use of alternating current conductivity was required. In this paper less known conducting polymer poly-(diamino naphthalene) (PDAN) is doped with poly-(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), is being investigated. The composite films are obtained by chemical-oxidation polymerization method. The experimental PDAN doped PVA films of different weight concentration are being analyzed by AC impedance spectroscope at different temperature and frequency range. The calculated AC conductivities found are 4.65 X 10-6 Scm-1 for 0.591gm and 6.28 X 10-6 Scm-1 for 0.791gm PDAN doped PVA films.The complex impedanceplotsoobtained was semicircular in nature, shows the single AC current mechanism. Again by Cole-Cole impedance plot, the value of parameter ” so obtained lies between zero and one (i.e. 0.88 and 0.89 for both weight concentration of PDAN doped PVA films), which shows the poly-dispersive nature of relaxation time.<#LINE#> @ @ Dutta P., Biswas S., Ghosh M., De S.K., Chatterjee S., The dc and ac Conductivity of Polyaniline and Polyalcohol Blends., Synth.

<#LINE#>Processing of Elephant Dung and its Utilization as a Raw Material for Making Exotic Paper<#LINE#>Farah@Nadeem,Amna@Moazzam,Naila@Yaqoob,Ishtiaq@Rehman<#LINE#>94-103<#LINE#>15.ISCA-RJCS-2014-134.pdf<#LINE#> Department of Environmental Science,Lahore College for Women University,Jail road,Lahore,PAKISTAN<#LINE#>10/8/2014<#LINE#>14/8/2014<#LINE#> Paper is one of the most in demand commodities of the world. Excessive deforestation has led to scarcity of wood resources,and it is needed to conserve them to protect the integrity of the ecosystem. The pulp and paper scientists are continuously struggling for non-wood raw materials that can be pulped in to exotic papers of high value. In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the potential of elephant dung as a non-conventional raw material to make exotic paper. For this purpose, elephant dung was dried under sun for 4-5 hours and then in oven at 105°C for 30 min. The dung sample was then cooked by chemithermomechnical (CTMP), semi-chemical and chemical soda-anthraquinone pulping processes in different experimental trials by varying the alkali dose. The papers were then tested for different physical and optical properties to estimate the quality of the elephant dung paper. In the current study, the optimum cooking conditions to make elephant dung paper in terms of maximum properties was 14.0% NaOH and 0.5% Anthraquinone (AQ) on o.d.p. Different type of exotic papers can be produced from elephant dung such as writing sheets, diaries, scrap books and greeting cards in a wide variety of styles and colors that could attract the attention of tourists and art lovers; resulting in revenue generation that could be used for the betterment of elephants and their owners.  <#LINE#> @ @ Diesen M., World paper markets, Papermaking Science and Technology, Economics of the Pulp and Paper Industry, 1(1), 65-66 (1998)@No $ @ @ Feng Z. and Alen R.J., Soda AQ pulping of wheat straw, Appita Journal, 54(2), 217-220 (2001) @No $ @ @  Young J., Non-wood raw material for paper-making, Pulp and Paper, 66(7), 9 (1992) @No $ @ @  Svenningsen N., Visvanathan C., Malinen R. and Patankar M., Cleaner product in the pulp and paper industry: Technology fact sheets, Asian Institute of Technology and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), 1-35 (1999) @No $ @ @ Rezayati C.P., Mohammadi R.J., Hashemi S.J. and Kazemi N.S., Influence of dimethyl formamide pulping of bagasse on pulp properties, Bioresource Technology, 97(18), 2435–2442 (2006) @No $ @ @ Jacobs R.S., Pan W.L., Fuller W.S. and Ms Kean W.T., Genetic and environmental influences on the chemical composition of Washington State wheat straw, Proceedings of the TAPPI Pulping Conference, TAPPI Press, 2(1), 839-846 (1999) @No $ @ @ Graham M.D., Wren S. and Adams W.M., An Assessment of Elephant-Compatible Livelihoods: Trials of Beekeeping, Chilli Farming and the Production of Dung Paper in Laikipia,Kenya, 3(1) (2009) @No $ @ @ Broch J.F., Educational Use of Elephant Dung, Journal of the International Zoo Educators Association, 47(11), 7-11(2011) @No $ @ @ Meissner H.H., Spreeth E.B., De Villers P.A., Pietersen E.W., Hugo T.A. and Terblanche B.F., Quality of food and voluntary intake by elephants as measured by lignin index, South African Journal of Wildlife Research, 20(3), 104-110 (1990) @No $ @ @ Roehrs J.M., Brockway C.R., Ross D.V., Reichard T.A. and Ullrey D.E., Digestibility of timothy hay by African elephants, Zoo Biology, 8(1), 331-337 (1989) @No $ @ @ Cavendish M., Mammalian Anatomy; An illustrated guide, 63-65 (2010) @No $ @ @ Blanc J.J., Barnes R.F.W., Craig G.C., Dublin H.T., Thouless C.R., Douglas-Hamilton I. and Hart J.A., African Elephant Status Report 2007: An Update from the African Elephant Database, IUCN Species Survival, (2007) @No $ @ @ Graham M.D., Wren S. and Adams W.M., An Assessment of Elephant-Compatible Livelihoods: Trials of Beekeeping, Chilli Farming and the Production of Dung Paper in Laikipia, Kenya, 3(1), (2009) @No $ @ @ T 210 cm-03, Sampling and testing of wood pulp shipments for moisture, (2003) @No $ @ @ T 203 cm-99, Alpha-, Beta- and Gamma- cellulose in Pulp, TAPPI, (2009) @No $ @ @ T 222 om-02, Acid Insoluble lignin in wood and pulp, TAPPI, (2002) @No $ @ @ SCAN-C 26:67, Formation of hand sheets, Scandinavian Pulp, Paper and Board Testing Committee,(1967) @No $ @ @ T 452 om-08, Brightness of pulp, paper and board, TAPPI,(2008) @No $ @ @ ISO 2471, Paper and board-determination of opacity (paper backing) –Diffuse reflectance method, International Organization for Standardization, (1998) @No $ @ @ ASTM E313, Standard Practice for Calculating Yellowness and Whiteness Indices from Instrumentally Measured Color Coordinates, (2012) @No $ @ @ SCAN–P 7:75, 1995, Thickness, micron, Scandinavian Pulp, Paper and Board Testing Committee, (1995) @No $ @ @ SCAN–P 6:75, Grammage of paper and board, Scandinavian Pulp, Paper and Board Testing Committee,(1995) @No $ @ @ T 411 om-97, Bulk of paper.
