Authors: Abreu Dafi Irenice , Sousa Oliveira Airton Danilo , Cartaxo Sarahbelle Leitte
Published: September 2017

Environmental quality in cities is linked to the way building and wooded spaces are related. The disorderly growth of the cities highlights the lack of planning that reconciles the harmonious coexistence between these two spaces. The consequence is that green areas are incompatible with adequate planting and maintenance criteria, resulting in damage to the population. In this sense, the objective of this project was to analyze the afforestation in Cajazeiras - PB and its impacts to the local community, having as object of research the public squares, pointing out the local effects that the squares observed provide to the physical equipment of this city. For this purpose, a simple afforestation guide was developed to assist in the collection and treatment of data obtained from field visits. The aspects observed in the squares were: quantization of the arboreal species; location between trees and in relation to urban equipment. The existence of conflicts between the trees and the urban components was verified: 72.2% have irregular distances of buildings; 39% do not meet the requirements of planting in sidewalk, 15.25% of this total are causing damages; Concerning trees near the electrical wiring, 33.33% cause interference in the electrical network. It was observed that out of the total of trees in the squares, 41.8% did not meet the minimum distance limit suggested. These results suggest that the planting of trees in the squares was carried out without criteria, and that due attention was not given to the damages that this fact might entail. In this sense, it seems clear that the importance of this work is to provide diagnosis of afforestation in the public squares of Cajazeiras, opening a discussion, mainly with the public administration, on the risks of unplanned afforestation

Action Research into a Flood Resilient Value Chain – Biochar-Based Organic Fertilizer Doubles Productivity of Pea in Udayapur, Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Anu Joshi , Pandit Bishnu Hari
Published: September 2017

Green growth and flood resilient value chain development have been foremost in the minds of vegetable growers in six villages of Udayapur District when they agreed to join pea field trials for a self-made biochar based organic fertilizer. Like so many Nepalese women and men who depend on farming for their livelihoods their top concern was getting high crop yields while lowering their input costs. Farmers of six villages (240 migrant workers' families) are now showing how boosting agriculture productivity and saving costs at the farm level can go hand in hand with national climate change strategies particularly in replacing chemical fertilizers in tropical soils of Nepal, an Action Research project result revealed. The results demonstrated that the biochar based organic fertilizer has enhanced the nutrient efficiency by increasing yields of at least four vegetable crops (peas, bottle gourd, cauliflower, and tomato) in the study area, and this technology was found more resilient to adverse climate (flood and drought) conditions. The trials have further investigated that the combination of biochar and cow urine, a source of nutrients readily available to farmers, have increased fresh pea yields double folds from (3 to 7)  t · ha–1 in off season (end of Dec. to Mar.). With this learning, a flood resilient pea value chain was developed, where farmers could get increase in income from 9.92 % (traditional value chain) to 44.32 % (upgraded value chain). Further benefits of biochar based organic fertilizer have been recorded with increase of soil organic matter content in the root zone of crops and soil moisture content.

Published: September 2017

Nowadays, the demand of energy in Indonesia is still dominated by fossil fuel. In 2013, fossil fuel contributed 94.3 % of the total energy. Production of fossil fuel or conventional energy sources such as coal, oil, and gas that are widely used to fulfill the energy needs in the world has been decreasing very significantly. One of energy supply problems resulting from the deficiency of fossil fuel energy is unequal distribution of electricity in areas of Indonesia. To overcome the energy supply issues, hence hydrogen can be used as energy supplier because it has been proven to be potential and prospective alternative energy source. The hydrogen resulted from water electrolysis can be used as the main component of fuel cells technology. Fuel cells technology is a kind of renewable energy that is clean and safe. It also has high energy efficiency. Power plant using fuel cells technology is then used as energy supplier for public street lighting in the remote areas which lack of electricity supply from Electricity Company or PLN. However, those areas should have abundant sources of water to be converted into hydrogen.  Here we explore the idea of designing Solar Driven Photocatalytic Fuel Cells. The first step is to synthesize nitrogen dopped titanium dioxide (N-TiO2) nanotubes/dye by using hydrothermal method on Fluorine Tin Oxide (FTO) substrate. Then use it as a photoanode, Silicon (Si) is used as cathode by putting the metal into Hydrofluoric acid (HF) liquid. The hydrogen will be generated from water electrolysis. Then use the hydrogen as a fuel. The fuel cells can generate electricity without combustion of fuel and produce zero pollution.
A Glimpse into the Biosynthesis of Terpenoids
Authors: Abdallah Ingy I. , Quax Wim J.
Published: September 2017

Terpenoids represent the largest class of natural products with a diverse array of structures and functions. Many terpenoids have reported therapeutic properties such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and chemotherapeutic properties making them of great interest in the medical field. Also, they are widely used in the flavors and fragrances industries, in addition to being a source of biofuels. Terpenoids suffer from low natural yields and complicated chemical synthesis, hence the need for a more sustainable production method. Metabolic engineering provide an excellent opportunity to construct microbial cell factories producing the desired terpenoids. The biosynthetic mevalonate and non-mevalonate pathways involved in the production of terpenoid precursors are fully characterized so exploring methods to improve their flux would be the first step in creating a successful cell factory. The complexity and diversity of terpenoid structures depends mainly on the action of the terpene synthases responsible for their synthesis. These enzymes are classified into different classes and gaining insight into their catalytic mechanism will be useful in designing approaches to improve terpenoid production. This review focuses on the biosynthesis and biodiversity of terpenoids, understanding the terpene synthase enzyme family involved in their synthesis and the engineering efforts to create microbial cell factories for terpenoid production.

Published: September 2017

Catalase (CAT) is a group of enzymes that protect cells against oxidative damage generated by reactive oxygen species. A CAT cDNA was previously isolated and characterized from 3-month-old hydroponically cultured Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino plants. The ORF is 1.479 bp with a deduced amino acid sequence of 492 residues. CAT from G. pentaphyllum has a molecular mass of 56.97 kDa with an isoelectric point (pI) of 6.95. The temporal expression analysis of leaf samples demonstrated that GpCAT expression could be up-regulated by various environmental stresses such as jasmonic acid electro, oxidative, salt, heavy metal, chilling and heat stress in a certain time period. A three-dimensional structural model of G. pentaphyllum based on its GpCAT cDNA sequence. The temporal expression pattern suggests that the GpCAT could play a role in the molecular defense response of G. pentaphyllum to abiotic stresses.

Published: September 2017

Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. (giant curcuma) is one of herbal plants which is easily found in tropical region such as in Indonesia and has been widely used for medical purposes. This plant has been intensively used as the main ingredients of traditional medicines due to its potent healing power. Giant curcuma is generally dried using a conventional way under the sun prior to use. This method was less controlled, thus leading to poorer quality of products. Drying in a controlled batch dryer could improve product quality in overall. This experiment aimed to study the drying kinetics of giant curcuma using a laboratory designed batch dryer. Drying temperatures were varied between 40°C to 60°C. Samples were also dried in the oven at corresponding temperatures as the control. The drying was conducted until approximately 11 % dry basis moisture content inside the samples was achieved. In general, the drying time of giant curcuma were shorter when the temperatures were increased. This was also confirmed by Page’s Model whereby drying rate constants increased four times both in the batch dryer as well as in the oven when the drying temperatures were increased from 40°C to 60°C.

Published: September 2017

The changes of shape memory characteristics and properties of the porous sintered TiNi-based alloy are possible by a choice of the sintering methods or use of cobalt doping additive, as the present investigation has showed. The comparative analysis of the temperature dependences of electric resistance and macrodeformation both alloys, obtained by reaction and diffusion sintering was conducted. Diffusion-sintered alloy have showed high shape memory parameters and a more uniform passing of martensitic transformations. This is connected with a larger fraction of TiNi phase (about 90 vol.%) after diffusion sintering. It was found that the martensitic transformation characteristics and reversibility of martensitic strain in the porous nickelid titanium depend on level of intrinsic stresses in the TiNi phase and stresses caused by Co impurity. The addition to 1.0 at.% Co decreases the internal stresses in the TiNi phase, and more than 1.0 at.% Co increases their due to the effect of precipitation hardening of the alloy.

Published: September 2017

The research addresses the problem of design and development of a new needle-free method for diabetes treatment. New porous-permeable TiNi-based materials and new methods of IR-radiation effect on tissues of the body have been used in the research. The properties of porous alloys are similar to those of high-capacity materials that can hold a large volume of insulin solution in the porous structure of the material. With this, IR-radiation stimulates directed diffusion of insulin from the porous TiNi structure to the tissues of the body. This makes the basis for development of a needle-free device for diabetes treatment. The proposed technique does not cause skin irritation, and it is safe when used in practice. The efficiency of insulin delivery was evaluated in clinical studies. The results showed the potential of prolonged delivery for both insulin and other liquids.

Tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses present a challenge to treat them. A combination of surgery and radiation therapy can improve treatment outcomes in 49-56% of patients with locally advanced nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancer.  The midface reconstruction poses a formidable challenge to the reconstructive surgeon due to the region’s complex skeletal and soft-tissue anatomy. The rehabilitation program including the reconstruction of the resected orbital walls using the porous and mesh implants from titanium nickelid (TiNi) was developed at the Cancer Research institute jointly with the Research Institute of Medical Materials. The technique was proven effective, allowing the natural position of the eye and visual function to be preserved in 90% of patients.  A long period of reparative processes and risk of developing inflammation in the implant area, as well as the need to decrease length of surgery, contributed to the development of a novel approach to repairing the midface bone structures using the implant based on the microporous wire and TiNi mesh. Eighteen patients with nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancer were treated using the combined thin implants. The novel technique allowed the time of the implant installation to be reduced to 5-10 minutes. The structure of the implant contributed to prevention of inflammatory processes in 97% of cases. Thus, the natural position of the eyeball and visual function were preserved in 100% of patients. The use of the TiNi implants in reconstructive surgery for patients with nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancer led to reduced time of surgery and rehabilitation, increased level of social adaptation of patients and improved cosmetic and functional results.

Strengthening of the lower uterine segment and formation of a “closing apparatus” for carrying a subsequent pregnancy in the absence of the cervix in patients with cervical cancer after conserving treatment in the amount of radical transabdominal trachelectomy. Materials and Research Methods: the study included 26 patients with cervical cancer of stage I in the reproductive age who received treatment in the amount of radical transabdominal trachelectomy (RTT). In the course of surgery in the amount of RTT, after an imposition of an utero-vaginal anastomosis, the strengthening of the lower uterine segment by setting and fixing a mesh of TiNi and its modelling within the range from the lower uterine segment to the upper third of the vagina was performed. Results: with regard to the issue of strengthening the utero-vaginal anastomosis, the implant takes over the function of the basic "closing apparatus" of the uterine and provides functional support and stability of the utero-vaginal anastomosis against the effects of intrauterine and intraperitoneal pressure. Conclusion: the usefulness of a mesh implant of the superelastic TiNi is due to its biomechanical properties: it is not absorbed, but gets fused with the surrounding tissue and provides resistance of tissues to excessive strain.

Zinc concentrates processing technology that includes high-temperature roasting – leaching of cinder – purification of leached liquor – electrowinning is the most widely used technology. Purified solution, which is fed to the electrowinning stage, has a high sensitivity to such an impurity as iron. The presence of iron in the zinc electrolyte has a negative influence both on the current efficiency and the quality of the cathode zinc. 

The application of autoclave equipment for iron removal from zinc sulfate solutions, obtained after the leaching stage of zinc cinder, is described in this article. All experiments were carried out with a model solution of following composition, g/L: 10-33 H2SO4, 1.5 Cu, 5 Mn, 110 Zn, 2.5 Fe. Neutralization and purification of the solution was implemented during low-temperature pressure leaching of the zinc cinder. 

The optimum conditions for iron precipitation from zinc solution are following: molar flow rate Zn(cinder) / H2SO4 = 1.3, t = 80 °C, τ = 1 hour, PO2 = 0.2 MPa. It was found, that the concentration of iron can be reduced up to 1-2 mg/L, whereas 83.5% of Zn and 52.1% of Cu being recovered into the solution from zinc cinder.

In this study the extraction of titanium from bauxite residue (red mud) with 2 step acid leaching was proposed. In the first step red mud was leached with diluted hydrochloric acid under stirring to remove the soluble Ca, Na, Al, Si and K at 25 0C and pH=3 for 1 hour. The content of iron and titanium in the solid residue increased to 57.7% and 6.4%, respectively. The factors influencing sulfuric acid leaching of the solid residue in the second stage were examined by factorial design. The optimal iron and titanium extraction efficiency was obtained after leaching at 50 oC and L:S ration 20:1 for 90 min when 80 g/L sulfuric acid was used. The titanium oxide content in the concentrate obtained under the optimum conditions amounted to 46.7%. The maximum recovery of titanium in the sulfuric acid solution has not exceeded 6%.

Metallography analysis of invar alloys made from secondary raw materials and crystallized with different cooling rates has been carried out. The study has demonstrated that velocity of crystallization has an impact on the dispersity of graphite. The higher velocity of cooling, the more dispersive graphite is. The volume percentage of graphite in alloy, crystallized with high cooling rate, is lower than compared with low cooling rate. Crystallization with low cooling rate leads to the reduction of the amount of carbon into g-phase. The coefficient of thermal expansion is basically depends on the amount of carbon into g-phase.
