A Review on Biodiesel Production as Alternative Fuel

Biodiesel has become a key source as a substitution fuel and is making its place as a key future renewable energy source. As an alternative fuel for diesel engines, it is becoming increasingly important due to diminishing petroleum reserves and the environmental consequences of exhaust gases from petroleum-fuelled engines. To minimize the biofuel cost, in recent days waste cooking oil was used as feedstock. The used cooking oils are used as raw material, adaption of continuous transesterification process and recovery of high quality glycerol from biodiesel by-product (glycerol) are primary options to be considered to lower the cost of biodiesel. There are four primary ways to make biodiesel, direct use and blending, micro-emulsions, thermal cracking (pyrolysis) and transesterification. The utilization of liquid fuels such as biodiesel produced from used cooking oil by transesterification process represents one of the most promising options for the use of conventional fossil fuels. However, as the biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and animal fats, there are concerns that biodiesel feedstock may compete with food supply in the long-term. Currently, the higher GHG emissions from fossil fuel has persuaded the policy makers, investors and researchers to think more of the substitution of fossil fuels to save the planet. In this review, the processes of biodiesel production by transesterification and factors affecting biodiesel production are also addressed. Index items: Biodiesel; Transesterification, Pyrolysis, Micro-emulsion, Direct Use and Blending
A Review on Phytochemicals (Including Essential

Essential oils are aromatic hydrophobic liquids extracted commonly by hydro distillation from a diverse number of plant parts; this includes but is not limited to flowers, buds, seeds, leaves, twigs, bark, wood, fruits, receptacles and roots [1]. Specific compounds of interest can be obtained from processing plant tissue and using separation techniques. However this approach is expensive, significant amounts of plant material are needed (unfavorable for exotic plant species), and reduced yields are usually obtained. Hence, when on high demand, or the desired compound is identified and isolated, it can be synthetically manufactured. These oils often contain diverse families of compounds which convert them in complex chemical mixtures [2]. Other biochemically active groups of compounds (e.g. polyphenols, glycosides) are usually extracted directly from the plant tissue with solvents (e.g. methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate). A particular compound or the resulting mixture of said compounds may be biosynthesized by the plant to protect it from bacteria, fungal infections or even insects. For example, essential oils have been described to possess antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antioxidant, immune modulating, and anti-inflammatory properties and hence they have been used in animal nutrition [3]. The focus of this review will only be the antimicrobial capability of different phytochemicals.
Hybrid Channel Allocation in Wireless Mobile Network Using Hybrid Genetic Algorithm

: The frequency spectrum that is available to a wireless system is usually limited and hence the channels within the spectrum need to be reused. Channel reuse causes interference within the network and interference degrades the SNR of received Signal, which decreases the capacity of the system. In this paper, we have devised a method to allocate the frequency spectrum to users appearing in a mobile cellular network. The hybrid channel allocation strategy is applied to reduce the blocking of calls and increase the output efficiency of the system while maintaining desired quality constraints of interference and signal quality. It has been demonstrated through the results that the performance of the hybrid channel allocation is superior to other channel allocation strategies such as FCA and DCA. It is demonstrated that the SNR level close to 40 dB is achieved in all the simulation. This level of SNR provides superior quality of communication. In this we have easily allocate the channels according to the need of SNR and frequency reuse distance with the help of GA and at last we have seen that with the help of limited number of frequency channels we fulfill the need of all cells and also the blocking portability is reduced.
MOTIVATIONAL BASES OF NEGATIVE ATTITUDES TOWARDPSYCHIATRIC HELP-SEEKING

The reluctance of young adults to seek professional mental help is a major challenge to effective early depression interventions. It is thus important to develop positive attitudes and beliefs that lead to psychiatric help-seeking before they become symptomatic. Attitudes towards healthy behaviors can serve a variety of purposes for attitude holders and persuasive messages that address underlying reasons for holding an attitude are more effective than messages that fail to target such functions. In light of the Functional Theory of Attitude (Herek, 1986), this study examines motivational bases of negative attitudes toward psychiatric help-seeking for depression treatment among young adults. College students at a large university in New York (N = 104) were invited to participate in a survey administered on the Web. The study results revealed that the most salient attitude function was the utilitarian function, followed by the ego-defensive and value-expressive functions. Participants did not explicitly acknowledge the ego-defensive function of their attitudes despite a strong(implicit) association between the function and their attitudes toward helpseeking. Health value was positively associated with the help-seeking attitude, but not with the self-direction values. These findings offer useful guidance for the design of interventions to promote help-seeking behaviors among young adults.
HEPATOPROTECTIVE ACTIVITY OF BOSWELLIA SERRATA EXTRACTS: IN VITRO AND IN VIVO STUDIES. Running Title: Hepatoprotective activity of Boswellia serrata extracts

AIM: To study the hepatoprotective activity of extracts of Boswellia Serrata in paracetamol treated male rats. METHODS: The dried powder of Boswellia Serrata was extracted successively with different solvent systems and concentrated in vacuum. Primary rat hepatocyte monolayer cultures were used for in vitro studies. In vivo, the hepatoprotective capacity of the extracts of the Boswellia Serrata was analyzed in liver injured Paracetamol treated male rats. RESULTS: In vitro: primary hepatocytes monolayer cultures were treated with paracetamol and extracts of Boswellia Serrata. A protective activity could be demonstrated in the paracetamol damaged primary monolayer culture. In vivo: extracts of Boswellia Serrata were found to have protective properties in rats with paracetamol induced liver damage as compared from serum marker enzyme activities. CONCLUSION: The extracts of Boswellia Serrata do have a hepatoprotective activity both in vitro on primary hepatocytes cultures and in vivo in a rat model of paracetamol mediated liver injury.
The effect of processing load and task difficulty on duration discrimination in temporal memory

It remained to be identified that increasing processing load would result in higher variance in temporal information process. The roles of memory and task difficulty in duration discrimination were investigated in auditory and visual modality in this study. Participants were asked to judge whether or not comparison duration was standard duration under four loading conditions. Results revealed that increases in standard duration in memory within blocks led to more discrimination errors, but increases in modality did not. More importantly, this memory loading effect on duration discrimination varied with the difficulty levels. Results confirmed central roles of memory and task difficulty in temporal information processing. Finally, the modality effect was significant, with discrimination being better with auditory signals than visual ones in each of the four loading conditions, which was attributed to the mechanism of modality.
Relative efficacy of Tell-Show-Do and live modeling techniques on suburban Indian children during dental treatment based on heart rate values: a clinical study

Aim: This study aims at evaluating the relative efficacy of the Tell-Show-Do and Live Modeling techniques on suburban Indian children during dental treatment based on the heart rate values. Materials & Methods: Children aged between 5 to 11 years were randomly divided into three groups as: GROUP A: Children who were presented with the Tell-Show-Do technique to undergo dental treatment. GROUP B: Children who were presented with Live Modeling technique, with mother as a live model. GROUP C: Children who were presented with Live Modeling technique, with father as the live model. A digital fingertip pulse oximeter was attached to the index finger of child’s left hand, in order to record heart rate values at a 30-second interval over a total of 11 data points. Results: Forty five of the forty six participants completed the entire protocol and participated in the study in three equal groups. Average heart rate over the entire treatment session was significantly lower among children in group B than among those in group A and group C at p<0.01. Conclusion: Live Modeling is a tangible technique in clinical pediatric dentistry as is supported by findings in other relevant fields also. Additionally, application of technique would require necessary skills, organized approach and innovation.
Global Evidence for the Key Role of the Dopamine D2 Receptor Gene (DRD2) and DRD2 Receptors in Alcoholism

Even before the actual cloning of the Dopamine D2 receptor gene in 1988 [1], dopamine receptors were correctly classified into D1 and D2 subtypes on the basis of pharmacological and biochemical properties [2]. Specifically according to Bunzow, et al. (1) the D2 Dopamine Receptor (DRD2) interacts with guanine nucleotide-binding proteins to induce second messenger systems. Moreover, other members of the family of G-protein coupled receptors in a primary aminoacid sequence, are significantly similar and exhibit an archetypical topology, predicted to consist of seven putative transmembrane domains [1]. In 1989, Weiner & Brann mapped the distribution of a dopamine D2 receptor mRNA in rat brain [3]. They reported that the D2 receptor mRNA is abundant in the caudate, putamen, accumbens nucleus and olfactory tubercle and lower levels in the medial habenular nucleus, diagonal band, lateral septal nucleus, claustrum, dorsal endopiriform nucleus, and entorhinal cortex. Most importantly, in the mesencephalon, DRD2 receptor mRNA is abundant within the substantia nigra pars compacta and the ventral tegmental area. It is noteworthy that the RNA distribution and the ligand binding indicate that pre and postsynaptic D2 receptors located in the nigrostriatal, mesolimbic and mesocortical pathways originate from the same mRNA.
239-244 Final-Azam Jokar-221111179-menopause-Jan 10 2015

In the present century, the decline of bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis is a silent epidemic. The objective of the current study was to estimate the effect of vitamin C on BMD in menopausal women with balanced diet. Randomi zed, controlled clinical trial (RCT) was conducted as per WHO Registry Network. The stud y was done in Hafez Hospital of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran . 150 menopausal women suffering from osteoporosis were chosen. In randomized block desig n, the individuals were placed in the vitamin C (test) and placebo (control) groups. The test group received orally 1000 mg of vitamin C in two divided doses for 6 months and the control group similarly had placebo. Test parameter: Bone mineral density (BMD). Before treatment, cons idering some demographic specifications and the results of BMD w ere not different statistically (P>0.05) but there was significant difference in the age and obstetric history (p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between obstetric history with lumbar BMD ( r= -295 and P<0.001) and femoral BMD (r= -0.226 and P=0.006). The average vertebral BMD did not indicate any significant difference between the vitamin C-treated group (0.02±0.05, P=0.001) and the controls (0.02±0.04, P<0.001). With respect to the findings of the study about the effects of vitamin C on BMD, antioxidant is suggested to add to the current treatments.
Association between Key Management Personnel Remuneration and the Performance of Authorized Deposit-Taking Institutions in Australia

The study investigates the association between each component of key management personnel remuneration (short-term and long-term remuneration) and total remuneration, and the performance of Authorized Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) in Australia. Data were collected from 91ADIs regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. The study provides evidence that total key management personnel remuneration, short-term key management personnel remuneration and long-term key management personnel remuneration are significantly associated with the performance of ADIs, while the pay-performance association is weaker for long-term remuneration as compared to total remuneration and short-term remuneration. In addition, size of the board, existence of remuneration board committee and composition of remuneration board committee is significantly associated and composition of the board is partially associated with the performance of ADIs in Australia. International Journal of Accounting and Financial Reporting ISSN 2162-3082 2015, Vol. 5, No. 1 www.macrothink. org/ijafr 124 The findings of the study also suggest that the pay-performance association is more sensitive for short-term remuneration as compared to long-term remuneration, indicating that although long-term remuneration is widely used by ADIs, short-term remuneration is an important part of key management personnel remuneration.
Isolation and Biotyping of Brucella melitensis from Upper Egypt

A total 106 seropositive samples from sheep, cattle and goats were collected from May 2009 to May 2010. Species of Brucella were isolated from, 9 (28.13%) of 32 in cattle, 25 (36.23%) out of 69 in sheep and of 5(100%) out of 5 in goats, from lymph nodes and spleen tissues. the south province of Egypt. The species examined by biochemical characteristics and had identical reactions with the standard strain. Oxidative metabolic tests performed, by substrate specific tetrazolium reduction (SSTR) test on the species, confirmed them as B. melitensis. Based on the biochemical, oxidative metabolic, and biotyping tests (CO2 requirement, H2S production, growth in the presence of thionin and basic fuchsin dyes, and agglutination test with monospecific A and M anti-sera) the strains were determined as B. melitensis biotype 3.

A Cross sectional study for Clinico mycological Profile of Otomycosis in North Karnataka

Background: Otomycosis is a commonest condition encountered in ENT practice which is a superficial fungal infection of the External auditory canal with more prevalence in hot, humid and dusty environment of tropics and subtropics. Despite the fact that our climatic conditions may predispose to Otomycosis literature search revealed that no much work has been carried out in this region. So the present study is undertaken to study the Age distribution, Sex ratio, Laterality, Predisposing factors and Prevalence of fungal agents in case of Otomycosis. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted on 185 clinically diagnosed cases of Otomycosis attending the ENT OPD for a period of one year. Ear discharge specimens were collected on two sterile cotton swabs. Direct Examination of the specimen was carried out by Gram stain and10% KOH Preparation. All specimens were inoculated on Sabouraud’s Dextrose Agar. Identification of fungi were done as per standard protocol. Results: Out of 185 patients fungal isolates were found in 159 cases (85.94%). The highest incidence was noted in the age group of 21-30 years, more prevalent in males (54.72%) with a sex ratio of 1.21:1 with unilateral distribution more on left ear. Use of Unsterile materials for cleaning the ear had been found to be major predisposing factor (71.07%). Itching in the ear was most commonest symptom (93.37%) and Most common fungi isolated were Aspergillus Niger,Aspergillus Flavus and Aspergillus Fumigatus followed by Candida Species. Conclusion: It is concluded from our study that Otomycosis is still a common problem. No age acts as a barrier no sex gives immunity and is usually an unilateral disease.Aspergilli were considered as predominant fungi for Otomycosis. The study also concludes that patients have to be educated not to use unsterile materials to clean the ears which will be effective in prevention of Otomycosis.
Mastoiditis and Sinonasal Pathologies on Cranial Computed Tomography Imaging: A Correlative Study

Background: Sinonasal pathologies are commonly found in the general population on routine computed tomography (CT) examinations of the brain and paranasal sinuses (PNS). Many of these patients have associated mastoiditis. Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the association between sinonasal pathologies and occurrence of mastoiditis. Materials and Methods: This retrospective case-control study was carried out on 77 consecutive patients (Male: 50, Female: 27; age group 4-88 years). The CT images of brain and PNS were reviewed to evaluate for mastoiditis and associated sinonasal pathologies. An equal number of ageand sex-matched controls without mastoiditis was randomly chosen from the cranial CT studies of the general population. The presence of sinonasal pathologies in the mastoiditis group (cases) was compared with those in non-mastoiditis group (controls). Results: Out of the 77 patients with signs of mastoiditis, 50 were males (64.9%) and 27 were females (35.1%). Among the 77 cases with mastoiditis, 75 had deviated nasal septum (DNS). The cases with right mastoiditis had right sided DNS in 67.4%. Similarly, the cases with left mastoiditis had leftward DNS in 71%. Bilateral mastoiditis was found in 35.1%. S-shaped DNS was found in 4 cases, and all of them had bilateral mastoiditis. An interesting finding in our study was a strong association of septal spur with mastoiditis on the same side (about 54-57%). All the patients (n = 4) with adenoid hypertrophy had mastoiditis. Concha bullosa, agger nasi cells, Haller cells, and ethmoid bulla did not show a significant statistical association. Comparatively, the control subjects had much lesser abnormalities in the PNS in all the age groups. Conclusion: Mastoiditis is significantly associated with sinonasal pathologies.

EFFICACY OF MARINE YEASTS AS FEED SUPPLEMENT FOR FENNEROPENAEUS INDICUS IN CULTURE SYSTEMS

Efficacy of three marine yeasts (Debaryomyces hansenii S8, Debaryomyces hansenii S100 and Candida tropicalis S186) as feed supplement for Fenneropenaeus indicus was estimated in comparison with Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTCC 36, a commercial feed and a control feed were used for the study. Biomass of yeast strains was prepared using Malt extract agar and incorporated into a standard diet to prepare yeast diets of varying concentrations. F.indicuswere fed these diets for a period of 28 days and various growth parameters such as production, FCR, SGR, GGE, RGR, PER, CUD were performed. Among the three marine yeast diets Debaryomyces hansenii S8 supported the best biogrowth parameters. Commercial feed was found to be better in efficiency compared to the Bakers yeast diet and control diet. Present study showed that the three marine yeasts used in the study could very well be used as feed supplement in aquaculture.
Religious involvement, attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, and preferences for alternative mental health settings

Religion is an important diversity variable; however, it is an understudied area in psychology. The purpose of this study was to explore ways that religious factors interact with help-seeking attitudes as well as preferences for different help sources. Participants were 236 church members from 4 Christian groups. They completed religious measures, a help-seeking measure, and responses to mock brochures for traditional, nontraditional, and Christian mental health facilities. Both demographic and religious variables were found to predict help-seeking attitudes, although the relationships between help-seeking and religious predictors were less clear. Denominational differences were found in many of the religious variables. Several religious variables were related to the brochure responses, and the four denominations showed different patterns of preference for the brochures. Limitations and implications for practice and research are discussed.
GREEN SYNTHESIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY STUDIES OF CURCUMINANILINE FUNCTIONALIZED ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AND COMPARATIVE STUDIES WITH ITS NON-FUNCTIONALIZED FORM

Biofunctionalization of nanoparticles is an advancement of current nanotechnology and biotechnology fields. Developing biocompatible progressive functional materials possess antimicrobial properties could be hopeful for environmentally benevolent applications. Biofunctionalization of nanomaterials is one such topic to produce the non-toxic and more efficient antimicrobial agents. The present study describes a synthesis method of bioactive curcuminaniline functionalized zinc oxide nanoparticles in the ecofriendly methods and comparative studies of those were undertaken against non-functionalized zinc oxide nanoparticles. The synthesis process was carried out through a simple green methodology. Synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed for antibacterial activity by using disc diffusion method against two gram-positive bacteria and two gram-negative bacteria and antifungal activity by using agar well diffusion method against four funguses. Synthesized materials were characterized by UVVis, FT-IR, SEM and TEM techniques. The synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were in the range of 46 nm and the biofunctonalized nanoparticles were about 100 nm. The antimicrobial activities of those were showed appreciable inhibition zones against S.typhi, B.subtilis, A.niger and T.simii species. INTRODUCTION: Nanotechnology is achieved incredible motivation due to its competence of controlling metals into their nanosize, which considerably changes the chemical, physical and optical properties of metals. This is typically because nanoparticles have a greater surface area per weight than larger particles which causes them to be more reactive to other molecules. 1, 2 Nanoparticles are widely used due to their multiple potential applications in material science, medicine, and industry.
