Optimal Scheduling of Micro Grid for Plug-In Electrical Vehicle

Owing to several advantages of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) like less noise, emission less, good efficiency and the reduced cost has attention to the governments, researchers and manufactures in recent time. The Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) plays a vital role in replacement of conventional vehicles in future, because of penetration of renewable energy resources in conventional generation. The modernized of micro grid is happening due to usage of clean energy for EV charging. The cost of electric vehicle charging is challenging issue in the development of plug-in electric vehicle. The coordination between renewable generation and conventional generation is very much needed in near future. The dynamic nature of renewable energy resources causes frequent interrupts in electric vehicle charging. The problem of nonlinear power generation with renewable resources is overcome by electric vehicle battery storage system which enables the EV battery to charge during low demand period and gets discharged into the micro grid during high demand periods. This paper developed an optimal schedule for stationary Plug-in Electric Vehicle charging in operation with micro grid. The obtained optimal schedule provides balance between active and reactive power in generation and load as well. The integration of renewable energy resources is achieved through solar, wind in Vehicle-2-Grid (V2G) approach which is used to safeguard to renewable energy resources by store additional energy produced during peak load period and feeding back to the micro grid during low load period. As a result the stable operation of the micro grid and EV charging with low cost is achieved in this paper.
High‐Output Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on Dual Inductive and Resonance Effects‐Controlled Highly Transparent Polyimide for Self‐Powered Sensor Network Systems

High‐output triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are demonstrated based on polyimide (PI)‐based polymers by introducing functionalities (e.g., electron‐withdrawing and electron‐donating groups) into the backbone. The TENG based on 6FDA‐APS PI, possessing the most negative electrostatic potential and the low‐lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level, produces the highest effective charge density of about 860 µC m−2 in practical working conditions with the ion injection process. This may be ascribed to the excellent charge‐retention characteristics as well as the enhanced charge transfer capability, which increases the output power by 7 times compared to the commercially available Kapton film‐based TENG. Finally, a 6FDA‐APS‐driven sensor network system is demonstrated, providing the identity of three gases (H2, CO, and NO2) by illuminating the light‐emitting diodes within several seconds.
Effects of replacement of fish oil by sesame seed (Sesamum indicum L.) oil in the diets of til-aqua natural male tilapia

This study evaluated the effects of dietary sesame oil extracted from autoclaved, roasted and fermented sesame seed meal on growth, nutrient utilization and muscle fatty acid composition of Til-aqua natural male tilapia. Four isonitrogenous (crude protein content: 35%) and iso-energetic (Gross energy: 19.36 KJ/g) diets were formulated to contain 3% of either fish oil (FO) or oils extracted from autoclaved (AO), roasted (RO) or fermented (FEO) sesame seed meals. Each diet was assigned to duplicate groups of Til-aqua natural male tilapia (initial average weight, 2.78±0.02 g) using recirculating aquaculture systems for 56 days. Specific growth rate 0.8 (2.93%/day) and metabolic growth rate (9.68 g/kg /day) recorded in the group fed RO diet were significantly lower (P<0.05) than those of AO treatment. Muscle fatty acid compositions were consistent with their dietary values except for di-homo-γ-linolenic acid, 20:3 (n-6), which accumulated in the groups that received diets FO (58.11%), FEO (44.75%) and RO (23.30%). There was a significant increase (P<0.05) in the muscle content of palmitic acid of the group fed diet AO (26.6%) when compared with the control (7.30%), diet RO (18.74%) and diet FEO (11.43%). The study showed that sesame oil can replace fish oil in the diets of tilapia without compromise on growth or nutrient utilization.

Accumulator Charging Control with Piezoelectric Based on Fuzzy Algorithm Scheduling

Battery accumulator charging with pizoelectric takes considerable long time so that an energy harvester is needed by using in this study LTC 3588 circuit. However, by using the energy harvester, the pizoelectric cannot be used to charge 12 volt battery, thus a boost converter is needed. The output voltage is too small to increase by using the boost converter so that the output from the energy converter is used to charge four AA batteries. After the voltage of the four AA batteries as much as 4.7 volt is increased by using the boost converter, the batteries can be used to charge accumulator battery 12 volt. To charge the battery to accumulator, scheduling algorithm planted in microcontroller arduino is needed. By using the scheduling algorithm with fuzzy logic in the arduino microcontroller, the microcontroller is able to control schedule of accumulatro battery charging.
Postharvest conservation of minimally processed cassava roots subjected to different packaging systems

Cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the main energy sources in human food, being largely consumed and produced in Brazil. However, it is not easy to prepare and has a high deterioration degree after harvest. As an alternative, producers and agribusinesses are extensively using vacuum packaging for the storage of minimally processed cassava roots. This study evaluates the postharvest conservation of minimally processed cassava roots packed in 130 μm, 200 μm, and 300 μm LDPE packages with and without vacuum, stored at 3 °C and 90% relative humidity. Samples were evaluated every seven days for a period of 28 days for pH, titratable acidity, so­luble solids, SS/TA ratio, texture, fresh weight loss, moisture, dry matter, cooking time, color (L*, a*, b*, increase in browning, chroma, and hue angle), and microbiology (counting mesophilic aerobes, psychrotrophic aerobes, molds and yeasts, total and thermotolerant coliforms). Minimally processed cassava roots packed in LDPE pack­ages with higher thickness (200 μm and 300 μm) show greater stability in physicochemical and microbiological components. For packages 200 μm vacuum LDPE and 300 μm LDPE in the two atmosphere conditions, stored at 3 oC and 90% relative humidity, the shelf life of minimally processed cassava roots was 14 days. The recom­mended storage period for the remaining treatments is seven days.
PROFILE OF LYCOPENE UV-SPECTRA OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA FERMENTED MILK-TOMATO PASTE

Lycopene is one of the famous ingredients in tomatoes, because of its important role as a potent anti-oxidant. Besides being consumed as fresh fruit, tomato paste can be combined with probiotic fermented milk to increase its health benefits. Probiotics are lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which when consumed in sufficient quantities will benefit health. Probiotic fermented milk is reported to have various properties including anti-microbial, antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-cancer, so the combination with tomato paste is expected to increase its benefits for health. This research aimed to study the effect of probiotic fermented milk on the content of tomato paste lycopene. Lactobacillus acidophillus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Lactobacillus casei were used as mixed probiotic cultures. It was found that at the ratio of 2:8 for the LAB fermented milk and tomato paste, the highest lycopene drive was obtained by spectrophotometric measurement at 663, 645, 505, and 453 nm. Determination of the lycopene content was performed according to the Nagata and Yamashita simple methods. In addition, the lycopene content in the LAB fermented milk-tomato paste was greater than the content in the tomato paste without fermented milk addition and was tested stable after storage for 14 days.
Ameliorate the cadmium toxicity in Solanum tuberosum L. plants with selenium and silicon application

The present study aimed to prove the efficiency of Se or Si as relievers of the Cd toxicity in potato plants. Solanum tuberosum plants, Asterix genotype, from in vitro propagation were placed in pots with sand and irrigated with complete nutrient solution for 60 days under six treatments: T1: Control (nutrient solution); T2: 2.5 µM Se; T3: 2.5 mM Si; T4: 50 µM Cd; T5: 50 µM Cd + 2.5 µM Se; T6: 50µM Cd + 2.5 mM Si. The treatments were arranged in completely randomized design, with four replicates for each treatment and six plants per replicate. The plants were collected at 30 and 60 days after application of the treatments. Cadmium was highly toxic in all parameters (dry and fresh weight, plant height, leaf number, leaf area, root and photosynthetic parameters), in both assessments. However, Se and Si were effective in mitigating Cd toxicity in all parameters, although Si has been shown to be more efficient than Se in dry weight and plant height parameters. Thus, from data obtained in this study, it is clear that the beneficial elements tested have power to ameliorate Cd toxicity.
Identification of the effects of long-term application of nitrogen fertilizer on the availability of 11 elements in soils and their supply to ‘Jonathan’ apple trees by using simultaneous multi-element analysis

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of long-term application of ammoniacal N fertilizer for 43 years on the availability of 10 essential elements (B, N, Mg, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, and Zn) and Al in root-zone soils and their supply to ‘Jonathan’ apple trees. To achieve this objective, we used simultaneous multi-element analysis. To estimate the soil depth from which the apple trees took up these elements, we calculated the ratios of their concentrations in the N fertilized plot (N plot) to those in the no N plot (0 N plot) (N/0N ratio). Long-term N fertilization significantly increased the fruit and leaf N/0N ratios of N and Mn and significantly decreased that of K. These ratios in the fruits and leaves were similar to those in the 20–90 cm soil layer. This result suggests that N, K, and Mn in the fruits and leaves were supplied from the 20–90 cm soil layer. The N/0N ratios of all 11 elements in the fruits and leaves were significantly positively correlated with those in the 20–90 cm soil layer, but not in the 0–20 cm soil layer. Our findings indicate that long-term N fertilization altered the tree nutrition of not only N, but also K and Mn. These changes in the tree nutrition were ascribed to the fertilizer-induced changes in the availability of elements in the subsoils.
The TRIM (TRipartite Motif) Family as a Novel Class of Ubiquitin E3 Ligases

Proteins that belong to TRIM family are characterized by the presence of the tripartite motif module, composed of a RING domain, one or two B-box domains and a Coiled-coil region. TRIM proteins are involved in several cellular processes such as apoptosis, cell cycle regulation and viral response. The aim of my project was to study the involvement of TRIM proteins in the ubiquitylation process, a versatile post-translational modification mechanism used by eukaryotic cells mainly to control proteins levels through proteasome-mediated proteolysis. In particular, the presence of the RING domain and experimental data suggested a possible TRIM role as Ubiquitin Ligases (E3), the component of the ubiquitylation cascade responsible for the transfer of Ubiquitin to the specific target. A condition for being an E3 is the interaction with another component of the ubiquitylation cascade, the Ubiquitin Conjugating Enzymes (UBE2). Therefore, I tested the interaction between 26 UBE2 enzymes and 42 TRIM proteins. I observed that the majority of the TRIM proteins tested interact with UBE2 enzymes and I also found a general preference of the TRIM proteins for the D and E classes. Two important exceptions were observed: TRIM9-UBE2G2 and TRIM32-UBE2V1/2 specific interactions. Furthermore, representative interactions were confirmed and I also demonstrated that the TRIM E3 activity is only manifest with the UBE2 they interact with. For most specific interactions I could also observe subcellular co-localisation of the TRIM involved and its cognate UBE2 enzyme suggesting that the specific selection of TRIM-UBE2 pairs has physiological relevance. In addition I found that almost all TRIM proteins tested interacted with UBE2I that is the specific E2 enzyme involved in modification with SUMO, a Ubiquitin-like peptide. Consistently, representative interactions were confirmed and for a subset of TRIM proteins I demonstrated the involvement in the SUMOylation pathway suggesting a possible cross-talk between ubiquitylation and SUMOylation.

Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Sulphuric Acid by Methanol Leaf Extracts of Milicia Excelsa

Methanol leaf extract of Milicia excelsa was tested as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in sulphuric acid solutions using gravimetric and gasometric techniques. This was done with a view to determine the inhibitive potentials of the methanol leaf extract with regard to the corrosivity of acid solutions used in oil pipelines and descaling of equipment. The weight loss method of corrosion tests were carried out at 2,4,6,8 and 10 hours of exposure time using various concentration of extracts (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6) g/L at different temperatures (303K, 313K and 323K) in varying acid concentration (0.4M, 0.5M and 0.6M). The gasometric measurements were carried out at 5,10,15,20,25 and 30 minutes exposure time using various concentrations of extracts (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6) g/L in 2.5M H2SO4 solution. Gravimetric measurements were also carried out concurrently with the gasometric measurements to compare methodological variation in data between them. The phytochemical screening results revealed the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenes, steroids and alkaloids. From the results, the corrosion rates decreased with increase in inhibitor concentration. The maximum inhibition efficiency of the methanol leaf extract of Milicia excelsa was 62.07% for 0.6g/L inhibitor concentration, in 0.4M H2SO4 at 303K. In 2.5M H2SO4, the maximum inhibition efficiency for gasometric method was observed to be 49.82% in 0.6g/L inhibitor concentration at 298K while that of the gravimetric method was 28.97% in 0.6g/L inhibitor concentration at 298K. From the results of the kinetic and thermodynamic studies, a physical adsorption mechanism was proposed for the methanol leaf extract as the values obtained for E a and ∆Goads are less than 80KJ/mol and -20KJ/mol respectively.
Potential of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Cassia) as an Anti-Oxidative and Anti-Microbial Agent in Sudanese Yoghurt (Zabadi)

This study evaluated the biological efficacy of cinnamon powder (CP) from Cinnamomum cassia in cow milk yogurt. CP had a total flavonoid and phenolic content of 132.87 and 818.73mg/100 g, respectively. CP exhibited significant free radical scavenging properties with antioxidant activity clearly correlated with CP concentration. CP extracts, especially the methanolic extract, produced large inhibition zones against pathogenic bacteria, comparable to that of penicillin. Yogurt (0.5%, and 1.0% CP) was refrigerated for 7 and 14 days. CP increased total yogurt solids with no effect from storage. Titratable acidity, pH, and lactose content significantly decreased with storage and CP concentration. Total bacterial, coliform, and E. coli counts significantly decreased with CP concentration. Lactic acid bacteria significantly increased with both concentration and storage. Sensory attributes following CP addition were rated slightly lower, except taste. Results indicated that cinnamon is effective against pathogenic bacteria, highlighting the possibility of processing yogurt with cinnamon.
Can statistics of turbulent tracer dispersion be inferred from camera observations of SO2 in the ultraviolet?

Abstract. Turbulence is one of the unsolved problems of physics. Atmospheric turbulence and in particular its effect on tracer dispersion may be measured by cameras sensitive to the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) sun-light by sulfur dioxide (SO2), a gas that can be considered a passive tracer over short transport distances. We present a method to simulate UV camera measurements of SO2 with a 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer model which takes input from a large eddy simulation (LES) of a SO2 plume released from a point source. From the simulated images the apparent absorbance and various plume density statistics (centerline position, meandering, absolute and relative dispersion, skewness, and fractal dimension) were calculated. These were compared with corresponding quantities obtained directly from the LES. Mean differences of centerline position, absolute and relative dispersion, and skewness between the simulated images and the LES were found to be smaller than a quarter of one camera pixel, with standard deviations between 1/2 and 3/2 camera pixel. Furthermore sensitivity studies were made to quantify how changes in solar azimuth and zenith angles, aerosol loading (background and in plume), and surface albedo impact the UV camera image plume statistics. Changing the values of these parameters within realistic limits have negligible effect on the centerline position, meandering, absolute and relative dispersions, and skewness of the SO2 plume. Thus, we demonstrate that UV camera images of SO2 plumes may be used to derive plume statistics of relevance for the study of atmospheric turbulent dispersion.
Dependence of plasma current on object condition in atmospheric pressure non-thermal equilibrium argon plasma

The dependence of the plasma plume current on the object condition is investigated by atmospheric pressure non-thermal equilibrium argon plasma. When processing with plasma, the flow of plasma current changes depending on the condition of the object. In the case of metal object with grounded condition, the plasma current was independent of the surface area and electrical conductivity of the metal object. While, in the case of metal object with floating condition, the plasma current was dependent on the surface area of the metal object, but not on the electrical conductivity of the metal object. When an object is grounded, the closed circuit is fixed with plasma, object, and ground-line, and then the current flow follows Ohm’s law. Because the ground-line is longer than the plasma plume length and the scale length of the object, the plasma current is independent of the characteristics of the metal object. When the object is in a floating condition, the divergence of the charge stored in the object to the atmosphere depends on the surface area of the object because it follows Gauss’s law.The dependence of the plasma plume current on the object condition is investigated by atmospheric pressure non-thermal equilibrium argon plasma.

3D printable SiO2 nanoparticle ink for patient specific bone regeneration

Sodium alginate and gelatin are biocompatible & biodegradable natural polymer hydrogels, which are widely investigated for application in tissue engineering using 3D printing and 3D bioprinting fabrication techniques. The major challenge of using hydrogels for tissue fabrication is their lack of regeneration ability, uncontrolled swelling, degradation and inability to hold 3D structure on their own. Free hydroxyl groups on the surface of SiO2 nanoparticles have the ability to chemically interact with alginate–gelatin polymer network, which can be explored to achieve the above parameters. Hence validating the incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles in a 3D printable hydrogel polymer network, according to the patient's critical defects has immense scope in bone tissue engineering. In this study, SiO2 nanoparticles are loaded into alginate–gelatin composite hydrogels and chemically crosslinked with CaCl2 solution. The effect of SiO2 nanoparticles on the viscosity, swelling, degradation, compressive modulus (MPa), biocompatibility and osteogenic ability were evaluated on lyophilized scaffolds and found to be desirable for bone tissue engineering. A complex irregular patient-specific virtual defect was created and the 3D printing process to fabricate such structures was evaluated. The 3D printing of SiO2 nanoparticle hydrogel composite ink to fabricate a bone graft using a patient-specific virtual defect was successfully validated. Hence this type of hydrogel composite ink has huge potential and scope for its application in tissue engineering and nanomedicine.
