The Solvent effect of ethyl alcohol (EtOH) on the alkali catalysed solvolysis of ethyl hexanoate

having longer carbon chain was studied by carrying out the hydrolysis of the ester in water-EtOH

media of varying composition consisting of 40% to 80% ethyl alcohol (EtOH) (v/v) at different

temperatures ranging from 20 to 40 C .The specific rate constant values of the reaction were found to

be decrease with increasing concentration of ethyl alcohol in the reaction media. The depletion

observed in the values of iso-composition activation energy of the reaction shows that the transition is

solvated and initial state is desolvated with addition of ethyl alcohol in reaction media. From

deplection in the values of H* and S* with simultaneous enhancement in G*values of the

reaction, it has been concluded that the reaction is enthalpy stimulating and entropy controlled and

specific solvation is taking place in the water- EtOH media. From the values of isokinetic

temperature, it may be concluded that water-EtOH reaction media obeys Barclay-Butler rule and its

numerical value 245 indicates that there is a weak but acceptable solvent -solute interaction in water

EtOH reaction media.

The pressing demand on the utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2) is growing vertically because of the

uncontrolled continuous enhancement in its concentration in the atmosphere which is mainly due to

the obvious challenges to control the highly demanded industrial growth and deforestation, which in

turn produces CO2. Also non-toxicity, abundant supply and cheapness of CO2 are beneficial to use it

as a raw material leading to innovative routes to produce commodity chemicals. Using CO2 as a

chemical feedstock for the production of chemicals has potential to provide new/newer, more efficient

and economical routes to existing industrial process to produce chemicals. In present investigation, a

ruthenium hydrotalcite based catalyst was synthesized, characterised by FT-IR, PXRD, SEM-EDX,

XPS, ICP mass, and surface area analysis, and was investigated for carrying out hydrogenation of

CO2in high pressure reactor under heterogeneous conditions in which the catalyst was effective for

selective formation of formic acid. The soft solid base hydrotalcite, in supportedRu based catalyst had

played a double role (i) as a base/promoter and (ii) as a catalyst support. The formation of formic acid

was influenced by the parameters: amount of the catalyst, temperature, pressure, reaction volume and

time studied under the employed reaction conditions. Under the optimized reaction conditions at

laboratory scale at 60 0C, 60 bar total pressure (1:1 ratio of pCO2:pH2) in 60 mL methanol-water (5:1,

v/v) mix solvent, 100 mg catalyst, agitation speed = 800 rpm and in 24 h, the maximum turn over

number (TON) for the formic acid formation obtained was 11389. The activation parameters

computed from the temperature dependence rate of formic acid formation were: Ea= 34.5 ± 2.5

kJmol-1, ΔH# = 32 ± 2.5 kJmol-1and ΔS# = -384 ± 5 Jdeg-1 mol-1. The presence of water in the mixed

methanol-water solvent had effectively enhanced the rate which is characteristically observed due to

its molecular effect. The mechanistic routes for CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid are proposed and

discussed based on the experimental results and observations. The catalyst was successfully recovered

at the end of each catalytic cycle for seven times and almost no loss was found in the selective

formation of formic acid and the structural stability of the catalyst.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is significantly used in the hydroformylation and hydroaminomethylation

reactions. Amines are essential building blocks in both bulk and fine chemicals, in the pharmaceutical

industries and its classical bulk syntheses often lead to large amounts of inorganic salts waste.

Hydroaminomethylation of alkenes with amines using carbon monoxide is one of the most potential

novel reactions for the production of amines concerned with atom efficiency, activity, selectivity,

applicability and environment. The reaction proceeds via hydroformylation of alkenes utilizing CO

and hydrogen, followed by reductive amination. A rhodium based heterogeneous catalyst (Rh-HMS-

F) was synthesized by encapsulating HRh(CO)(PPh3)3 complex into the pores of amino functionalized

(F) hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS-F). The catalyst was thoroughly characterized by P-XRD,

31P-CPMAS NMR, FT-IR, SEM, ICP and N2 sorption analysis and investigated in detail for the

hydroaminomethylation of 1- hexene with morpholine using COand molecular hydrogen in the high

pressure and temperature reactor. The catalyst was found to be effectively active for

hydroaminomethylation of 1- hexene with morpholine. The hydroaminomethylation was investigated

in detail as the function of the catalyst amount, temperature, pressure and 1-hexene: morpholine ratio,

and the performance of the catalyst was found to depend on all these studied parameters. The catalyst

was capable to achieve 100% conversion with high (>95%) selectivity to amine under the employed

reaction conditions: 1-hexene = 11.9 mmol, morpholine = 11.9 mmol, catalyst = 50 mg, pCO = 13.5

bar, pH2 = 54 bar, temp. = 120 °C, solvent: toluene/methanol = 30/20 mL and time = 18 h. The

catalyst was elegantly recovered and recycled for five times without much loss in its activity and

selectivity of the amine. The performance of the catalyst was compared with closely related catalyst

systems, and mechanism of the reaction by the present catalyst system involving hydroformylation

followed by hydroaminomethylation is proposed and discussed.

Auranofin (AF) (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranosato-S-[triethylphosphine] gold) is

a gold(I)- containing antirheumatic drug. It was developed more than 30 years ago, as an oral

substitute for the injectable gold compounds aurothiomalate and aurothioglucose. AF functions by

decreasing the pain in arthritis by decreasing the inflammation. However it has a number of side

effects like stomach/abdominal cramping, nausea, loss of appetite, heartburn, headache, eye redness,

hair loss, numbness/tingling of arms, bloody stool, diarrhoea, sore throat, itching and rashes. AF is

also finding new applications in the treatment of several diseases like cancer and microbial infections.

AF is associated with induction of heme oxygenase-1 and inhibition of inflammatory pathways. AF

interacts with selenocysteineresidue within the redox-active domain of mitochondrial

thioredoxinreductase (TrxR), thereby blocking the activity of TrxR and consequently leading to the

induction of apoptosis. Furthermore, this agent strongly inhibits the JAK1/STAT3 signal transduction

pathway, thereby suppressing expression of immune factors involved in inflammation. In the present

study, the immune modulatory effects of AF were investigated in terms of lymphocyte proliferation

and cytokine secretion. It was observed that AF inhibited mitogen induced lymphocyte proliferation,

without inducing cell death in unstimulated splenic lymphocytes. AF also inhibited cytokine secretion

by splenic lymphocytes to marginal levels but it has no observe effect on ROS and intracellular GSH

levels in these cells.

Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) blend with the hydrolyzed wool powder (HWP) and its composite

membrane have been prepared via solution casting method. The natural hydrolyzed wool and

synthetic polymer PVDF blends composites were prepared by mixing HWP with PVDF as polymer

matrix in various ratios. The hydrolysed wool (HW) was prepared from wool fibers through

consecutive hydrolysis method and cast into fine powder particles. The concentration effects of PVDF

or HW on the membrane performance were investigated. Surface chemical composition, surface and

morphologies, degree of crystallinity, thermal stability and flame retardancy of the HW@PVDF

membranes were characterized by ATR-FTIR, Thermal analysis (TG/DTA) and Differential scanning

calorimetric (DSC) analysis. The char residue value and crystallinity content (Xc%) were also

investigated. It was observed that thermal degradation temperature (Td), glass transition temperature

(Tg) and flame retardancy of PVDF was enlarged by the adding of HWP. The thermal possessions of

blending composites HW@PVDF membranes improved with various weight ratios.

Adsorption technique was employed for the treatment of carpet mill waste water containing Navilan

Green 5GL using Bauxite as an adsorbent. It was noted that low adsorbateconcentration, small

particle size of adsorbent, low temperature and acidic medium favoured the removal of the dye.

94.28% removal of the dye was achieved at 100 mgL-1 initial dye concentration, 3000C temperature,

7.0 pH and 600 µm adsorbent particle size. The kinetics showed the first order nature of the process.

The rate constant was found to be 2.7X102min-1under the above optimum conditions of experiment.

The equilibrium data were found to be fit well in the Langumir’s model of adsorption isotherm at

various temperatures. Thermodynamic study at different temperatures was performed and the values

of change in the standard free energy (Δ G0), enthalpy (ΔH0) and entropy(ΔS0) were calculated .

Effect of pH was explained on the basis of aqua complex formation and its subsequent acid – base

dissociation approach.

Dayalbagh, Agra,U.P.India


The present research work is a preliminary attempt to explore the adsorption capacity of natural

coagulant made-up from Abelmoschusesculentus (Okra) seed cake. The use of plant based natural

coagulant as wastewater purifier agent play an amazing role in environment-related issues. There are

various processes used for the treatment of wastewater in which adsorption process is one of the best

water treatment technologies around the world and carbon (activated or granular) is undoubtedly

considered as universal adsorbent for the uptake of various types of pollutants from waste water.

Present time, carbon adsorption is now customary in the waste water treatment. Activated carbons

from agricultural by-products might have the advantage of offering an effective, lower-cost

replacement for existing bone char or coal based granular activated carbon. In this work, the potential

of okra (Abelmoschusesculentus) seeds powder coagulant solution was tested for their ability to

remove the hardness, turbidity, metal concentrations and total dissolved solids. Turbidity, hardness

and total dissolved solids were removed effectively with an optimum dosage of coagulant solution.

The maximum removal efficiency for Hardness, Turbidity, Total dissolved Solids, Lead (Pb+2) and

Cadmium (Cd+2) are 73%, 62.4%, 83.4%, 49.1% and 81.1% respectively. Therefore, locally available

materials can be utilized towards achieving sustainable safe water supply. This method is very

economical compare to chemical treatment since it is naturally available, very cheap and

biodegradable. Low maintenance and no skill labour are required. Hence, it was concluded that it is

sustainable and economical way of wastewater treatment.

8.Biomethanation Potential of Different Urban Solid Waste of Varanasi City and Use of Iron

Oxide Nanoparticles in Enhancing the Catalytic Efficiency of Biogas

Barkha Vaish and Rajeev Pratap Singh

Department of Environment and Sustainable Development, Institute of Environment and Sustainable

Development, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, U.P. India


Anaerobic digestion of different urban solid wastes is of prime attention in order to reduce the

emission of GHGs and sustainable energy production. Production of biogas provides a potential

source of renewable energy. Despite its several advantages, the potential of biogas technology could

not be fully harnessed. Our study demonstrates anaerobic digestion of different wastes - Municipal

waste (MSW), Sewage sludge (SS) and Flower waste (FW) and its improvement by the application of

green iron oxide nanoparticles. Fe additive might increase gas production as a result of the improved

generation of acetate that provides a suitable substrate for methanogenesis. Therefore, the addition of

Fe2+ at 37 °C to an anaerobic reactor resulted in modest increase in biogas production. Our results

suggest that MSW possesses enormous potential in terms of biogas production as compared to SS and

FW. Fe nanoparticles prepared using green method improved the production of biogas. We found that

at the temperature of 50-55°C, pH 7.5 and organic loading rate 10 Kg VS/L/day at Fe nanoparticles

concentration of 40ml/L provides the most suitable conditions for biogas formation. We found biogas

production rate of MSW using iron oxide nanoparticles 76.42 mL/gVSadd, a 43.3% increase in

activity than the control system. Enhanced production efficiency of biogas combined with no

detrimental effects of green iron oxide nanoparticles on the environment can be a promising way to

solve the energy crisis throughout the world.

9.Structures, stability, and hydrogen bonding in inositol conformers

Nazia Sidiiqui1 and Saleem Javed2

1Indian Institute Of Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India 2Dr.BhimraoAmbedkar University, Agra,U.P.India


Various levels of ab initio calculations using the density-functional (DFT), the second order Möller-

Plesset perturbation (MP2) and self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) theory with the 6-311+G(d, p)

basis sets were performed on thirteen theoretically possible inositol stereoisomers. These conformers

were generated by considering the possible orientation of hydroxyl groups in order to maximize the

hydrogen bonding patterns. Gas phase calculations show that the myo- and neo- isomers of inositol

(bearing one and two axial hydroxyl groups, respectively) are marginally more stable (by 0.5 kcal

mol-1) than the all equatorially substituted scyllo-inositol. The calculations when done in solvent

medium (water or ethanol or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), the scyllo-inositol becomes most stable as

compared to other isomers, this fact that may be attributed to weaker intramolecular hydrogen bonds

in scylloisomer as against favourable solute-solvent intermolecular interactions in solvent medium

than those in other conformers. In order to get further insights into the strength of hydrogen bonds in

6

these inositol conformers, the individual hydrogen bond energy in all the isomers of inositol was

estimated using molecular tailoring approach (MTA). The calculated hydrogen bond energies in these

isomers are in good agreement with O-H…O bond distances and nOH stretching frequencies. The

estimated H-bond energy suggests that the order of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding strength

follows: axial-axial > equatorial-axial > axial-equatorial > equatorial–equatorial hydrogen bonds. The

intramolecular hydrogen bonds in scyllo isomer are much weaker than those in other conformers.

10.Performance Comparison of FBG as Dispersion Compensator with different Apodization&

Frequency Chirp in an optical fiber link

RaghavendraPatidar , RenuMalsaria and Vishnu Srivastava

Global Institute of Technology, Jaipur,Raj., India


Now a day’s optical communication is a popular technique to transmit the data. In daily life we share

our useful data by using optical network. But dispersion is the main performance limiting factor.

However, the compensation of dispersion by Dispersion Compensating Fiber (DCF) and Fiber Bragg

Grating (FBG) can boost significantly the system. This proposed work investigates and analyze the

performance of optical transmission system at 1550 nm using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) as

dispersion compensator. The FBGs with several types of apodization were modeled in this project. It

was proven that apodization profile could be reduced the sidelobes. In addition, each profile also has

the bandwidth and the maximum reflectivity better than others. Link has been simulated in efficient

optical communication software called Optisystem.

11.A dual approach experimental and theoretical studies of nickel(II) complex with 2-hydroxy-

N'-[(E)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]benzohydrazide: Synthesis, crystal structures and

antioxidant superoxide dismutase activity

Yogendra Singh,*and R. N. Patel

Department of Chemistry, APS University, Rewa, M.P., India


In the present study, we use a dual approach comprising experimental and quantum computational

studies of new nickel(II) coordination complex with N2O donor ligands viz., [Ni(L)2], 1. (Where HL =

2-hydroxy-N'-[(E)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]benzohydrazide) have been synthesized and

characterized by means of elemental analysis, spectroscopic, magnetic susceptibility and cyclic

voltammetric measurements. The structures of both complexes were determined by single crystal X-

ray analyses of Ni(L)2], 1. Single crystal analyses reveal that weak CH π (aryl/metal chelate rings)

intermolecular interactions exhibit with supramolecular motifs and metalloaromaticity. Static Jahn-

Teller distortion is also suggested in the complex. X-ray and spectral characterizations have

confirmed the existence of the enol form of the ligands in the complex. The electronic structures,

spectral properties of the ligand and complex have been described by quantum chemical calculations.

The bond lengths and bond angles are in agreement with the XRD results. Antioxidant superoxide

dismutase activity of the complex has also been measured. The results reveal that the performances of

the complex in their antioxidant SOD activity are affected by their electron-accepting abilities.

12.Anomalous subsurface VLF electric field emissions related to some major earthquakes

occurred in Indian subcontinent

Sarita Sharma and Raj Pal Singh

Department of Physics, GLA University, Mathura,U.P., India


Routine monitoring of amplitude of vertical components of VLF electric field emissions related to

earthquakes has been in progress at Chamuhan, Mathura observing station (Geographic lat. 27.49oN,

long. 77.67oE) since 24 March 2011 employing indigenously developed borehole antenna (down the

earth) and a terrestrial antenna (above the earth surface) at the frequency of 3.012 kHz. Observed

VLF data have been analysed statistically using mean and standard deviation around the mean

approach (m ± 2σ) in the light of three major earthquakes (M = 6.8 – 8.5) that have occurred in Indian

subcontinent during the year 2012-2013. Results of analysis show VLF amplitude anomalies on the

day of occurrence of major Sumatra earthquake (M = 8.5) of 11 April 2012 both in the borehole and

terrestrial antennas while for Pakistan earthquakes (M = 7.4, 6.8) of 24, 28 September 2013 a clear

anomaly is seen 3 days before the occurrence of these earthquakes in terrestrial antenna (the

anomalies are weak in borehole antenna). The effect of spurious noises like magnetic storms and

lightning activities have also been examined on VLF data and it is found that the data are not

influenced by these spurious sources. It is suggested that electromagnetic signals generated inside the

preparation zone of these earthquakes as a result of piezoelectricity reached the observing station

through earth ionosphere waveguide.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a fabulous, non-toxic, synthetic polymer having widespread novel

applications for its biocompatible characteristics. However, water is an excellent solvent for PVA,

except this, it is soluble in numerous polar, organic solvents such as DMSO, DMF, THF, etc. But, it is

very challenging to solute it despite the application of the temperature higher than room temperature.

Also, the selection of solvent plays a vital role in the formation of the PVA-polymeric membrane.

With the variation of the type of solvent, the electrical conducting properties of the membrane also

change. The recent work is associated with the synthesis of PVA polymeric membranes by using

distinct solvents and their characterizations with various spectroscopic techniques. The XRD pattern

of system was recorded using Phillips X-pert diffractometer in the 2 range 10o-75o. The infrared

spectrum was recorded on Alpha ATR-FTIR Bruker (Germany) spectrophotometer in a range 4000-

400cm−1. The XRD pattern informs about the relative crystallinity of the synthesized membrane.

FTIR and Raman spectral studies may indicate the presence of solvents in accord with the solute

polymer after the membrane formation. The SEM images show the surface morphologies of the

synthesized PVA-membrane. Furthermore, the adequate study of the synthesized PVA membrane,

using vibrational spectroscopies can explain the probable interaction properties between the solvent

and polymer during the process of membrane formation.

14.The vibrational spectra of the biomolecule 5-Aminoorotic acid: A comparison with uracil

Vibrational spectroscopy is one of the most important tools for the characterization of medium size

molecules, but the interpretation of all the bands observed in the spectra is often not straight forward

but sometimes risky. However, the use of adequate quantum-chemical methods for predicting the

wavenumber of the spectra remarkably reduces the risk in the assignment and can accurately

determine the contribution of the different modes in an observed band. The DFT methods have shown

a more reliable prediction for the calculated wavenumbers and the basis set 6-31G (d,p) gives the best

relationship.

The orotic acid (uracil-6-carboxylic acid) or vitamin B13 is an important biomolecule. Its derivative

5-aminoorotic acid (HAOA) plays an important role in chemistry and biochemistry, but from the

spectroscopy point of view, a complete interpretation of its vibrational spectra is not available.

Therefore, in the present study, the experimental IR and Raman data reported earlier were improved,

and molecular properties were analyzed. In addition, the low Raman wavenumbers were assigned to

different lattice modes computed in the tetramer form for the first time. The N3-H stretching vibration

(mode 29 in U ) is slightly down-shifted (scaled at 3453 cm-1 by B3LYP) as compared to the N1-H

stretching vibration (mode 30 in U) at 3489 cm-1, in accordance with a shorter N1-H bond length than

N3-H. In the isolated state, two very strong IR bands appear at 1775 and 1720 cm-1 corresponding to

(C2=O) and (C4=O) modes, respectively. A very strong IR band at 1666 cm-1 was tentatively

assigned to the stretching (C=O) mode of the carboxylic group. The (C5-N) stretching vibration

(no. 28) is predicted with medium IR intensity at 1300 cm-1 which was related to the experimental IR

band at 1312 cm-1.

Due to the carboxylic group, two intramolecular interactions appear in both conformers of HAOA.

One is through the hydrogen of the amino group, N11-H···O, and the another one is through the N1-H

moiety, N1-H···O16. The significant value of dipole moment (2.8903D) shows that 5-aminoorotic

acid might have the NLO properties.

Department of Physics,GLA University, Mathura-281406, India


The nonlinear interaction of two laser ( 1 2 1, 2 =) by a carbon nanotube matrix is investigated and

laser beat excitation, Terahertz generation is evaluated. Due to pondermotive force, the nanotube

electrons acquire nonlinear oscillatory velocity. It is found that the shape of generated Terahertz

radiation can be turned by laser parameters. In the nanotube, the electron plasma frequency becomes

maximum on the axis and density perturbation due to the ion-acoustic wave gives nonlinear current.

The field amplitude of ion acoustic wave assisted Terahertz increases as n

decreases.

India


We review our development on beyond Born–Oppenheimer (BBO) theory and its implementation on

various models and realistic molecular processes as carried out over the last 15 years. The theoretical

formulation leading to the BBO equations are thoroughly discussed with ab initio calculations. We

have used first principle based BBO theory not only to formulate single surface extended Born–

Oppenheimer equation to understand the nature of non-adiabatic effect but also to construct accurate

diabatic potential energy surfaces (PESs) for important spectroscopic systems, namely, NO2- radical,

Na3 and K3 clusters, NO3- radical, benzene and 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene radical cations (C6H6

+ and

C6H3F3+) as well as triatomic reactive scattering systems like H++H2 and F+H2.The non-adiabatic

phenomena like Jahn–Teller (JT), Renner–Teller, pseudo Jahn–Teller effects and the accidental

conical intersections are the key players in dictating spectroscopic and reactive scattering profiles.

The nature of diabatic coupling elements derived from ab initio data with BBO theory for molecular

processes in Franck-Condon region has been analysed in the context of linearly and bilinearly coupled

JT model Hamiltonian. The results obtained from quantum dynamical calculations on BBO based

diabatic PESs of the above molecular systems are found to be in accord with available experimental

outcomes.

E-mail:[email protected], [email protected]

The main purpose of this article is to show the E-Bayesian method for computing estimates for the

unknown parameters of Poisson exponential lifetime model under progressive type II censoring with

binomial removals. These estimates are obtained based on prior distribution for the parameter under

symmetric and asymmetric loss function. Also, we derive E-Bayesian estimation under different prior

distribution of the hyper parameter. A comparison between the E-Bayesian and the corresponding

Bayes estimators are compared in terms of their simulated risks. The proposed methodology is

illustrated through different sets of biological data.

The present study describes the development of nano-TiO2 based composite of starch-co-

poly(acrylamide) copolymer. The graft copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared

(FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and X-Ray

Diffraction (XRD) confirmed that acrylamide (AM) was grafted onto starch successfully. The effects

of pH, initiator dosage, temperature, and time on grafting percentage (GP) and grafting efficiency

(GE) were also investigated. The synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles have successfully enhanced the

thermal and biological properties of a native copolymer which was confirmed by TGA and biological

assay. This synthesized nanocomposite starch-co-poly(acrylamide) was used as a superabsorbent

polymer (SAP) with great thermal property and antibacterial activity which regulates the growth of

the plant.

Linearity improvement is one of the most critical issues in the development of high-power, high

frequency TWT.Higher linearity allows utilizing more compact and less expensive power supplies.

Furthermore, high-efficiency Travelling wave tubes can operate more reliably and have longer

lifetime due to reduced collector loading. The high-power outputs and wide gain-bandwidth make

TWTs ideally suited for these purposes, the nonlinearity of these devices results in amplitude, phase

and spectral distortion. The important features in designing TWT are high efficiency, high linearity,

stable operation, long life, high reliability, small size, low weight and effective heat dissipation. As

one most important feature in designing a TWT is linearity.Nonlinear distortion products appear as

harmonics and for multi-carrier operation also as intermodulation products, at the output of the

amplifier thus limiting the usable bandwidth of the amplifier and degrading fundamental efficiency. In

this paper, design and development of a Ku-band 140W Helix TWT for improved linearity and high

efficiency will be presented.

Most of riot control agents are potentials lacrimators and secondary affects the respiratory. All are

produced transient discomfort to the mob and temporarily become incapable to produce a hostile

situation. The common riot control agents are dibenzoxazepine (CR), chloroacetophenone (CN), o-

chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS), and Oleoresin capsicum (OC). All riot controlling agents



12

produces pulmonary distress syndrome, edema or lung injury with a various degree. Chemical

Weapons Convention prohibited the possession or storing of any chemical agents which causes death

or temporary incapacitation and USA not used in Iraq war in 21 century. Most of the countries are

used with the legal passage referring to the restoring of laws.

Now a days,definition of riot controlling agent has been changed. Israel Defense Forces used "Skunk"

a malodorant rather than tear gas but it may not work efficiently under Indian conditions.

Alternatively, we are developing new agents and proved successful during many operations. We have

developed the gases, smoke, or aerosols of "BhutJolokia" or Capsicum chinense, an indigenous chili

of North bank of Brahmaputra valley of India and consider one of the hottest chilies in the World.

"Bhutjolokia" activates the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor and shows

severe chemosensory irritancy which is reversible. Also, we explore the possibilities of using skatole

or MucunaPruriens or in combination. The product shows safe and effective in many trial with

CRPF, J& K Police, Bihar Police and many more. Our study in agreement with a recent report of US

Army and the FBI were reported that OC spray was not associated with any long-term health risks.

Around 26 billion tons of CO2 are released to the atmosphere annually, around 20 billion metric Tons

of which is from the burning of fossil fuels and close to a significant 2 billion tones from the

production of Portland cement. Over two tons of concrete are produced per person on the planet per


13

annum. Therefore, greenhouse gases are increasing in the environment which is the major problem

arising for world. This problem cannot be reduced but this can be minimized by eco friendly material

eco cement. Eco-cements are hydraulic cements containing 15-20% reactive magnesia. When this

reactive magnesia react with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), a brucite formsit to capable of

absorbing CO2 from environment. The most important characteristic of eco-cements is absorption of

CO2 from atmosphere. Other properties affected include shrinkage, durability and rheology. This

paper discusses the potential impact on sustainability of the new eco-cement Technologies for

sustainability and comparison of physical properties of Eco Cement with OPC and Portland pozzolana

cement(PPC). It also discusses the amount of CO2 absorb by Eco cement in comparison with OPC and

PPC.

The electric field of a cloud quadrupole determined theoretically. Due to the charge separation

mechanisms, the upper part of a cloud becomes positively charged and the lower part becomes

negatively charged. As the charge separation goes on, at a sufficient level of charge at lower part of

the cloud the induction at the earth surface takes place. Thus, an electric quadrupole is assumed to be

created. The electric field generated at any distant point due to the cloud quadrupole is determined.

ShriNiwash Singh and Yogendra P. Singh

Department of Chemistry, H.D. Jain College, Ara,U.P. India


Quantum biology is defined as the application of features of quantum physics to biological objects

and structures. All biological structures can be reduced to biochemistry and at a deeper level to

quantum physics, down to processes at the level of ions, small molecules and proteins (receptors, ion

channels and enzymes). A number of examples of biological processes in which quantum effects are

visible are the transport of electrons and protons in photosynthesis, enzymes catalysis, respiration, O1

faction, vision and basically all other transport processes. Recently developments in experimental

techniques such as ultrafast spectroscopy, single molecule spectroscopy, time-resolved microscopy

and single particle imaging have enabled to study biological dynamics on increasingly small length

and time scale, processes necessary for the function of the living systems that depend on classical and

quantum physical effects. The present work provides an outline of the current status of the field, as

well as insights into the future directions. Furthermore, phenomena such as quantum tunneling,

quantum coherence, quantum superposition, entanglement etc. are also remain more speculative to

future development of quantum biology.

26. Hydrological assessment of water quality for drinking purpose in agra city india

Ashish Kumar

Chemistry Department, Agra College, Agra,U.P., India


This paper presents a hydrological evaluation of the various parameters of drinking water sources of

Agra city with special emphasis on fluoride. The city is situated on the banks of Yamuna River known

for its brackish water, also the south-west side of city lies near fluoride rich area of Rajasthan.

Groundwater quality shows wide variations which depends upon depth, hydrogeological conditions

and human activities. Therefore, it is desirable to independently monitor the quality of ground water

sources.

Ten samples of groundwater and two samples of tap water were collected in clean sterile bottles from

various locations in different parts of city. It is observed that the fluoride levels in ground water

fluoride levels are much higher in some parts (> 2 mg/l). The F seems to be proportional to

distribution of Calcium and positively related to total hardness. The increased F concentration may be

attributed to the interaction of water with basaltic rock. Some groundwater samples show higher

values of hardness, TDS. The spatial distribution of fluoride, as estimated by geochemical assessment,

agrees well with the incidence of dental and skeletal fluorisis. Apart from already affected people, a

larger part of population is at risk. Similarly estimation of other parameters like hardness etc. agrees

well with observed ill effects.

Wireless Communication Networks like 4G, 5G and more than this, which will be highly dynamic

and complicated due to the ultra-dense deployment of heterogeneous networks, have many critical

challenges for network operation, planning, management and troubleshooting. In this digital era,

consumption of wireless data are becoming increasingly distributed with an ongoing paradigm shift

from people-centric to machine-oriented communications, security threats in wireless networks

become more challenging and complex. Previous decade, wireless network was considered a network

of convenience, but not the primary network. Since last 10 years, mostly devices have shifted to being

Wi-Fi only. Smart phones and tablets are obvious, but there’s a wide range of IoT devices that are Wi-

Fi only. Therefore there is an explosion of Wireless Communication Networks-connected IoT

endpoints over the next coming years. Today, Wireless networks need to be reliable, resilient, and

always available with strong security and less threats. For this purpose AI techniques can provide the

analytics to make safe and secure, solve network issues faster, and make engineers more efficient.

Artificial Intelligence is particularly helpful to aware and fixes security problems with the help of ML.



17

AI can use anomaly detection and other features to avoid many common problems, such as DHCP,

RADIUS, and security problems. In this paper we provide a comprehensive survey on the utilization

of AI techniques for awareness and enhancing the efficiency of wireless networks operations.

Neem is regarded as “The Wonder Tree” and “Nature’s Drug Store”, because its extracts have a vast

pharmacological activity and are used as raw materials for pesticide, medicine and other commodities.

All parts of neem such as leaves, bark, flower, fruits, seeds and roots have advantages in medical

treatment and industrial products. Neem seed is a part of Neem tree which has high concentration of

oil which is widely used as insecticides, lubricant, drugs for diseases like diabetes and tuberculosis.

There are several methods to obtain neem oil from the seeds like mechanical pressing, supercritical

fluid extraction and solvent extraction. Aim of this paper is to study the adequacy of the eradication

and claustration of Natural toxic constituents available in some well known tree borne oil seeds for

effective utilization in pesticide formulations. Neem seed kernels prior to their extraction for oil were

pre-treated in single stage with different solvents, viz., isopropanol, acetone and ethanol, in pure as

well as in aqueous forms. The aqueous ethanol was also employed for three stage counter-current pre-

treatment of neem seed kernels, which gave the best results. Further, development of safer pesticides

from natural products has been necessitated due to the fact that synthetic organochlorine and organo

phosphorus pesticides have created health hazards to mammals and have polluted the ecosystem.

The present study deals with the collection of drinking water samples from 17 sites of

Chitrakootnagarpanchayat area and have been analyzed for some physico-chemical and

bacteriological parameters like pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total

alkalinity (TA), total hardness (TH), BOD and E.coli. The result showed that pH, EC, TDS, TH,

BOD ranged from 7.1 to 7.8, 385 to 791 μS/cm, 274 to 695 mg/L, 140 to 200 mg/L, 216 to 300 mg/L

and 4.9 to 5.6 mg/L respectively. Values of most of the parameters were within the limit of drinking

water quality standards except EC, TDS, TH and BOD. The level of EC in all samples was more than

its standard value of WHO (300 mg/L).The extent of TDS was found beyond the standard value of

WHO in hand pump water samples. Extent of TH was found within the permissible limit while values

of alkalinity was found higher than the standard limit of WHO (100 mg/L) in all sampling sites. 40%

water samples were found polluted due to presence of E.Coli. In general the present investigation

showed that the maximum parameters were at a level of pollution.

Hydro chemical investigations were carried out in the Kakinada, AP India, to assess the chemical and

microbial composition of ground water. A total of 20 ground water samples were collected and

analyzed for the water samples obtained from different sample locations. People on globe are under

tremendous threat due to undesired changes in the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of

air, water and soil. Due to increased human population, industrialization, use of fertilizers and man-

made activity water is highly polluted with different harmful contaminants. Natural water

contaminates due to weathering of rocks and leaching of soils, mining processing etc.The availability

of suitable quality water is an indispensable feature for preventing diseases and improving quality of

life. It is necessary to know details about different physico-chemical parameters such. The evaluation

was done by the hydro chemical metals characterization by measure of contamination levels with the

Ground waters. The purposes of this study are, specifying spatial distribution of groundwater quality

parameters such asTemperature,pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), TDS, TA pH, Hardness,Chloride,

Nitrate and sulphate. The research results reveals that their common origin, especially from industrial

effluents and municipal wastes that are responsible for the enhancement of chemical components



19

moving together in groundwater higher values of physicochemical parameters reveal the

anthropogenic sources of these variables. The high concentration of parameters in groundwater water

may cause serious threat to public health as well as the aquatic environment.

= Salicylaldehyde; BSA = 5-bromo-salicylaldehyde). Their optimized structures were determined by

different spectroscopic techniques. The three nickel ions are hexa coordinated with distorted

octahedral geometries. UV-vis spectra of complexes 1-3 are good agreement of these structures.

Complexes showed well resolved three bands. Assuming distorted octahedral geometry for nickel ions

in these complexes, the bands may be assigned as 3 3 , 3 3 and 3

3 respectively. IR spectra of all nickel(II) complexes show broad absorption bands with maximum

a ~3450 cm-1. All the complexes (1-3) show similar type of electrochemical behavior. In the cyclic

voltammograms of every complex in each scan rate one redox couples was observed.

Though XAS (X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy) has emerged as an appropriate tool for obtaining

structural information around the X-ray absorbing atom its theoretical analysis has remained very

difficult till date. XANES is still passing through a developing stage leaving wide area for developing

analytical method for quantitative analysis. Inverse correlation ER2 =c has been widely used for the

determination of inter atomic distances in several model systems, where E is the energy of a XANES

peak, R is the inter-atomic distance and c is a parameter whose nature has not been fully understood.

We in the present paper have correlated c with effective-charge on the K-edge of X-ray absorbing

Copper atom in CuBr, Cu2O, CuCl2, CuF2, CuSO4, La2CuO4, CuO and Cu.

A study for assessment and management of sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentration in ambient air of

Srinagar was carried out in HemvatiNandanBahugunaGarhwal University (HNBGU), Chauras

Campus Srinagar GarhwalUttarakhand, India. The continuous in-situ observations were taken for

temporal variation in the concentration of SO2 (EcotechSerinus 50 Sulfur Dioxide analyzer). The

maximum SO2 concentration was recorded in pre-monsoon season(5.95 ± 2.02 μ g/m3), may be

attributed to an extensive forest fire events as well agricultural waste burning, whereas minimum SO2

concentration was recorded in monsoon season(1.54 ± 0.82 μ g/m3) due to wet deposition/

precipitation, events. In the case of diurnal variation, higher level of SO2 (5.19 ± 0.84μg/m3)

concentrations was reported at 1500 hr local time may be due to photochemical activities as well as

anthropogenic activities and lower level 4.45 ± 0.70 μ g/m3 was observed at 0600 hr local time due to

low human activities in early morning hours. In our observations, SO2 show strong and positive

correlation with temperature (r=0.8) and wind speed (r=0.8), whereas humidity (r= - 0.8) and wind

direction (r= - 0.4) shows strong negative correlation with SO2. The SO2 concentration did not

Isoxazole derivative possess significant biological activity and structural backbone of a variety of

natural products. The usual synthesis of 4-arylidene-3-methylisoxazol-5-one to be carried in two

steps, in the first step, preparation of oxime[ethyl 3-(hydroxyimino)-3-methylpropanoate] and ring

closing of this oxime to afford 3-methylisoxazol-5-one. Then in second step, the Knoevenagel

condensation of aryl aldehydes and 3-methylisoxazol-5-one produce 4-arylidene-3-phenylisoxazol-5-

ones. The three-component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride and various

aryl aldehydes for the synthesis of isoxazole-5(4H)-one has been reported by different catalyst. Some

of the reported methods suffered from drawbacks such as long reaction time, low yield, tedious work-

up, expensive catalyst and use of toxic solvent. Here we reported a one-pot and three component

synthesis of 3-mehyl-4-arylmethyleneisoxazol-5(4H)-ones was developed using microwave radiation

under solvent free condition in the presence of magnesium bromide as the catalyst. The products were

obtained in high yields and short reaction time, with easy workup process. The present method



23

provides an easy and efficient approach for the synthesis of this class of compounds, because of its

clean reaction profile and operational simplicity.

Ram Suresh Pandey

Department.of Chemistry, J. J. College, Ara,V. K. S. University, Ara, Bihar, India


Dimethyl malonate is commonly known as malonic ester and due to presence of active methylene

group, it is very useful in synthesizing a variety of organic compounds. In order to highlight the

solvent effect on its reactivity, its alkali catalysed hydrolysis was studied in aquo-dioxan solvent

system (media).

Out of the three thermodynamics activation parameters, namely ∆H*, ∆G* and ∆S*, ∆H* and ∆S*

values of the reaction were found to decrease simultaneously with increase in ∆G* value and this

shows that the dioxan behaves as a entropy controlling solvent. The iso-kinetic temperature of the

reaction is found to be 285, from which it is inferred that there is weak solvent-solute interaction in

aquo-dioxan reaction media.

42. Solvent Effect of aquo-Dioxan media on the BiochemicalEfficiency of Nicotinates

Ajay Kumar Singh

Department of Chemistry, S.B. College, Ara, V. K. S. University, Ara, Bihar, India


The biochemical efficiency of heterocyclic ester, nicotinate depends on its hydrolysis product nicotine

acid. Hence, for studying the effect of 1:4dioxan on the biochemical efficiency of nicotinate ester, the

kinetics of alkali catalysed hydrolysis of methyl nicotinate has been studied in aquo-dioxan

media.The values of Iso-composition activation energy (EC) of the reaction were found to decrease

with increasing proportion of Dioxan in the reaction media. The pausible explanation for such

depletion is solvation and desolvation of transition and initial states of the reaction respectively to

different extent. From the enhancement observed in ∆G* values with simultaneous decrease in the

values of ∆H and ∆S* of the reaction, it is inferred that the organic co-solvent dioxan acts as entropy

controller and enthalpy stimulator solvent for alkali catalysed solvolysis of methyl nicotinate.The

numerical value of Iso-kinetic temperature of the reaction which comes to be nearly 291.0 ( below

300) indicates that there is weak but considerable solvent-solute interaction in the aquo-dioxan

solvent system.

The clean air which is a natural mixture of many useful gases, moisture and particular matters is

essential for safe and carefree life on this earth. But now-a-days some foreign matters are found mixed

with the clean air in significant quantities and thus the clean air has been polluted. The polluted air

becomes harmful to mankind, animals and plants directly or through food chain.

Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are the chemicals in the atmosphere that in sufficient concentration

may have adverse effects on the health of human and other animal species and may cause damage to

ecological and social systems such as forests, agricultural crops and building materialsMost air toxics

originate from human-made sources, including mobile sources (e.g., cars, trucks, buses) and

stationary sources (e.g. refineries, petrochemical industries, power plants and steel plants) as Well as

indoor sources (e.g., some building materials and cleaning solvents.) HAPs come from man-made and

natural sources and include persistent organic pollutants, volatile organic compounds, polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbonsand heavy metals.

44. Solvent Effect of aquo-Protic Reaction Media on theCatalysed Solvolysis of a Substituted

Formate

Namrata

Department of Chemistry, V.K.S. University, Ara, Bihar, India


The kinetics of acid catalysed solvolysis of Iso-butyl formate (substituted formate) in aquo-methanol

(protic solvent) media was found to obey first order kinetic equation. From the study of the Effect of

change of [H+] ion concentration on the rate of the reaction, it is inferred that in presence of a protic

solvent (methanol) in the reaction media, the reaction follows AAC2 mechanistic path. .The number

of water molecules of the reaction media associated with the activated complex was found to decrease

with increase in temperature of the reaction and from this, it is concluded that in presence of

methanol (protic solvent) in the reaction media, the mechanistic pathway of the reaction is changed

from unimolecular to bimolecular.From the evaluated value of the iso-kinetic temperature of the

reaction i.e. 321.0, it is opined that in presence of methanol, there is appreciably strong solvent-solute

interaction in the aquo-methanol reaction media.

45. The Green Chemistry and its use for Environmental Sustainability

Pramod Kumar Singh

S. M. College, Dumraon,V. K. S. University, Ara,Bihar, India


The chemical industry is the biggest source of hazardous waste and the number of agents considered

toxic is continuously increasing due also to a series of more restrictive laws (REACH). The term

Green Chemistry was coined in the 1990s, to bring focus on the increasing interest in developing

25

more environmentally friendly chemical processes and products. In this term the Green Chemistry

represents the most concrete answer of the scientific community to the pressing environmental needs

and sustainability. There is a pool of clean technologies that are becoming widely studied or used

between them.Catalysis is a well established one, well proven at the largest volume end of the

chemicals industry. Green Chemistry begins by design and design derives from inspiration. Nature is

the biggest chemical laboratory in the world and produces, every days tonnes of chemicals in

absolutely, eco-friendly and sustainable way. The secret of natural chemistry are the enzymes. We

must take inspiration from them to setup new green chemical process.

Pesticides include compounds used to reduce crop loss from disease and pesi (Plant and insect) attack,

both before and after harvest and can be present in both agricultural and non-agricultural

formulations. Pesticides include herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, rodenticides, soil-sterilants, wood

preservative and surface biocides etc. These may be either a vapour or a mixture of vapour and

airborne particles are also used for public health to control virus human pests and disease carriers.

POPs (Persistant Organic Pollutants) that can migrate to polar regions through evaporation,

atmospheric transport and deposition.Agricultural pesticides are released into the atmosphere by spray

drift, post application, voltalization and wind erosion of soil.

Global Institute of Technology, Sitapura, Jaipur, Raj.,India


Nowadays, the extraction of textile dyes from the wastewater in industry becomes an environmental

worldwide issue. Water contamination is a big threat of and causes some chronic diseases for human

body. Textile dyes are worn to several types of products by fabrication, for paper, leather, plastic and

some products, used in human daily life. Despite of containing various hazardous chemicals into

textile dyes, it is necessary to be discharged from effluents of waste-water of industry through

treatment as quick as possible. By reviewing of effects of textile dyes such as toxicity and

mutagenicity, bacteria and organism embedded a prologue of the expulsion of metals to the

environment. Certainly, for the dominion of textile dyes removal, adsorption can be regarded as

effective method used by activated carbon, bentonite clay as adsorbent for the wastewater treatment in

industry. Predominantly, it is a critical review of literature conferred the removal of textile dyes for

the treatment of industrial wastewater by using techniques, technologies, adsorbents thoroughly.

Certainly, Adsorption is the sole and ultimate approach for removal of textile dyes through the

industrial wastewater treatment. This literature shows the feasibility of minimum cost adsorbent in

terms of maximum outcome of industrial wastewater treatment for textile dyes removal.

48. The Impact of Plastic Bags on the Environment: A field Survey of the City of Jaipur

Rekha Rani Agarwal

Global Institute of Technology, Sitapura, Jaipur,Raj.,India


Thousands of plastic factories are producing tons of plastic bags which are very popularly used by the

people for shopping purposes because of its ease, cheapness and convenience of use but their very

hazardous negative impact is never highlighted or, at the very least, openly discussed in a more

serious tone. The situation is worsened in India as economically disadvantaged country. Many

countries have banned plastic bags due to public concern over the serious negative impact on the

environment and agriculture, especially, in agricultural countries, such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan,

South Africa, etc. In this research paper, we surveyed the field for the city of Jaipur and recorded of

the where about of those plastic bags accumulated. The number of factories producing plastic bags

and discuss the causes and effects and reviewed a range of solutions for a clean environment for us

and our future generations. The isolated microbial strains were identified based on their cultural

morphological and biochemical study.

49. Effect of atmospheric particulate matter concentration (PM10 and PM2.5) on the

astronomical light pollution at Tezpur, Assam.

Jayanta Bora and Raza Rafiqul Hoque

Department of Environmental Science, Tezpur University, Tezpur, Assam, India


Light pollution is the unwanted and excessive light in the night environment, originated from

anthropogenic or artificial lighting activity. Near cities, night skies are now hundreds of times brighter

than the skies of hundreds of years ago. Astronomy has suffered a lot by the light pollution. Light

pollution has increasing illumination of night sky and subsequently makes difficulties in observing

astronomical objects. Natural environment has also been effected a lot due these changes in light

intensities. Diurnal life-sustaining behaviors of plants and animals depend on Earth’s daily cycle of

light and dark. It also affects the nocturnal ecosystem, having negative impacts on plant and animal

physiology. It can confuse the migratory patterns of animals. With the increase in urbanization and

industrialization our night sky became brighter day by day. Major side-effect of urbanization is the

increase in air population. The level of particulate matter (PM) in air is much high than that of

threshold values. These PM also induces an incremental effect on light pollution by scattering a part

of the electromagnetic spectrum. So, there is a connection between light pollution and air pollution.

With this concern a study was carried out to find the effect of air pollution on the astronomical

illumination on a temporal scale at Tezpur, Assam.

Treatment of wastewater at source has been identified as the best practice in environment

management. High BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) wastewater is a very common effluent in these

days. Despite of the fact that in some cases this waste water is not directly toxic to the Environment, It

certainly results in depletion of oxygen in water body into which it discharged.Various alternatives are

available for wastewater treatment. Most of them are Energy incentive or require sophisticated

maintanance. And due to lack of it, most of the system fail, with out providing a satisfactory

result.Amongst all alternative resources of energy, solar energy is the most dependable resources. It is

in abundance and environmental friendly. In the present case, we have suggested an oxidation pond

system based upon solar energy and is best option for Indian conditions in medium size towns we

have designed a parallel scheme, so that during maintenance etc.at least partial treatment go on. The

final effluent is suggested to be used for fish culture or irrigation etc.

There are innumerable opportunities for implementing an innovative renewable energy solution.

However, the best place to start looking is in your own area of expertise.Fossil fuel, the principal

resource of energy, is getting depleted rapidly. The alternative sources of energy which are well

known to everybody, but what we need is the technology to harness them in a cost effective manner.




28

Fossil fuel resources are adding a great burden to Indian economy due to their import. The present

paper reviews the environmental as well as Economical aspect of alternative sources of energy and

explores their futuristic perspective. The sun is the largest source of renewable energy and this energy

is abundantly available in all parts of the earth. It is in fact one of the best alternatives to the non-

renewable sources of energy. Salt gradient solar pond (SGSP) is the most economical solar energy

harnessing system. With The salt gradient solar pond we can generate Electricity, which is not only

Economical at commercial level but Environmental Friendly also. The approach is particularly

attractive for rural areas in developing countries like in India with low investment cost for power

generation. Locally available material like clay, plastic liner and salt can be used. India has a vast

coastal line that provides saline water free of cost. The present work aims to give a rational design of

SGSP considering various design parameters.

Present trend of research is towards alternative sources of energy. Since we use energy for almost

everything, the recent trend towards greener, more sustainable technology is creating many

opportunities for entrepreneurial-minded individuals. But is this just a fad? Or are there viable

business opportunities for the long term? I explain why I think the trend towards Solar energy is here

to stay and give some tips on starting your own Solar energy business.InThe proposed research

scheme is aimed at the aforementioned strategic objectives through which exploring solar energy

and more importantly explore the feasibility of enhancing local security and independency of

electricity supply to the rural area of country. The merit of this scheme lies in the fact that solar

energy harvesting, storage, and utilization are holistically considered and thereafter they will be

meticulously investigated. One way to tap solar energy is through the use of salt gradient solar ponds.

Solar ponds are large-scale energy collectors with integral heat storage for supplying thermal energy.

It can be use for various applications, such as process heating, water desalination, refrigeration, drying

and electricity generation. This is the most economical energy conversion system to reduce green

house gas emissions is studied and included in the paper.

From photovoltaic solar roof top power plant to Solar lantern are for generate electricity, Sun

entrepreneurs are taking advantage of the green revolution by finding Solar energy solutions.Since we

use energy for almost everything, the recent trend towards greener, more sustainable technology is



29

creating many opportunities for entrepreneurial-minded individuals.Economical availability of energy

is the first step towards development. Fossil fuel resources are getting depleted rapidly and are adding

a great burden to Indian economy due to their import. Compared to other alternative sources of

energy, solar energy is viable, environmental friendly and available in abundance. Salt gradient solar

pond (SGSP) is the most economical solar energy harnessing system. With The salt gradient solar

pond we can generate Electricity, which is not only Economical at commercial level but

Environmental Friendly also. The approach is particularly attractive for rural areas in developing

countries like in India with low investment cost for power generation. Locally available material like

clay, plastic liner and salt can be used. India has a vast coastal line that provides saline water free of

cost. The present work aims to give a rational design of SGSP considering various design parameters.

In the present work, an attempt has been made to develop a simple expression to predict the thermal

performance of SGSP.The expression is developed by solving the heat balance equation applicable to

the storage zone with certain simplifying assumptions. For simplicity in analysis, ambient conditions

(temperature and radiation) are considered to be constant.A simulation model is also developed by

solving the heat flow equation. The results obtained by both the methods are compared and found to

be in good agreement with each other. The present expression provides a great simplicity in

calculations and saves computational time. In fact it allows manual calculations for estimation of salt

gradient solar pond and eliminates the necessity of computer.

Phosphorus is one of the most abundant elements on the earth and has a broad role in living system

and reaction of phosphate ester in enzyme is of the great importance. It is a part of many essential

biological components such as lipids, bones, genetic materials, etc. Phosphate esters are very essential

in living organism for growth, development and maintenance of plants and animals. Kinetic study of

the hydrolysis of mono-2,4,5-tri-methyl phenyl phosphate ester has been investigated in pH 0.00 to

7.46 at 97 ±0.50C in dioxane-water medium (40%, v/v). The pH log rate profile has maximum at pH

4.17. The hydrolysis of mono-ester carried out in buffer solution shows that the neutral and mono

negative species are in pH 0.00 to 2.20 ranges and only mono negative species in the ranges of pH

2.20 to 7.46. The theoretical data rate determined from specific rates and fractions of the neutral and

mono negative species agrees closely with experimental rates. The biomolecular nature of hydrolytic

reaction has been supported on the basis of temperature and solvent effect study. The mono-2,4,5-tri-

methyl phenyl phosphate ester involves the P-O bond fission by isokinetic relationship. The reaction

mechanism has been proposed for the hydrolysis of mono-2,4,5-tri-methyl phenyl phosphate ester

with neutral and mononegative species.

Micellar catalysed reaction with hydroxide ion and mono phosphoramide ester of 2-methoxy

phosphoramide (2-MPPA) in sodium buffered solution at pH 8.0-10.0 with borate ions. The first order

rate constant for the reaction of hydroxide ions with 2-MPPA through maximum inhibited the

concentration of sodium lauryl sulphate (NaLS). The micelles of sodium lauryl sulphate are least

anionic detergent of NaLS and have little effect on the reaction rates.Anionic micelles strongly inhibit

the nucleophilic effect and have been investigated at 40 ±0.50C. The NaLS has been used to

determine the mol. wt. of micelles by light scattering and critical micelles concentration (CMC) by

several methods.

U.P.,India


Biodegradable natural composite membrane systems have been extensively investigated since the

1970s in order to protect the environment from non-biodegradable plastic wastes. The use of synthetic

degradable polymers, as biomaterials imply they are biocompatible by themselves and the use of

particular additives and/ or processing technologies should not interfere with the biocompatible

behaviour. These materials have gained scientific and technological importance as electrolyte

materials for the development of solid state electrochemical devices such as batteries, fuel cells

electrochromic windows and supercapacitors. To overcome the environmental problem several eco

friendly and biodegradable materials such as cellulose, starch chitosan, poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly

(-caprolactone) are being used as a host polymer for the preparation of solid polymer electrolyte [5-

7]. Among biodegradable polymers poly(-caprolactone)(PCL), synthetic aliphatic polyester has been

getting a higher demand nowadays due to their numerous application. To enhance the electrical

conductivity plasticization is most effective method. In this process the low molecular weight

plasticizers such as propylene carbonate (PC) and Ethylene carbonate (EC) are incorporated in the

system. The lithium thiocyanate (LiSCN) is good dopant because it is thermally stable, nontoxic and

insensitive to ambient moisture as compared to other lithium salts, lithium can easily donate electrons

to become a positive Li+ ion. The MMT clay which is also called inorganic polymer has a laminar

structure and excellent hydrophilic and cations exchange properties.

Composite polymer electrolyte standing films were prepared following well known phase inversion

technique. In XRD pattern of PCL, three sharp characteristics peaks at 2 = 21.18°, 21.83° and 23.85°

show the partial crystalline phase, which originates from the ordering of side chains due to

intermolecular interaction through the hydrogen bonding. This structure confirms the semicrystalline

nature of PCL. Addition of clay (MMT) reduces the crystallinity of polymer salt composite system.


31

SEM image show the typical spherulitic texture along with dark boundaries, demonstrating its semi

crystalline nature. The addition of salt and filler in the polymer matrix disturb the homogeneity of the

host structure and it is favourable for facilitating the conduction path for ionic species. The Raman

spectrum of composite membrane confirms the interracial interaction of polymer matrix with salt and

filler. FTIR spectra show that all main peaks of the host polymer (PCL) are present in the pristine and

composite membrane. To evaluate the change in ionic behaviour of the electrolyte system with

temperature, variation of electrical conductivity (σ) with 103/T has been carried out. The increase in

conductivity of plasticized PCL with MMT membrane system is due to the release of surface

adsorbed water and the melting behaviour of the PCL polymer. the frequency dependence of

imaginary part of electric modulus M”() for the [0.3PCL + 0.7(EC+PC)] 40: MMT60 and

0.8{[0.3PCL + 0.7(EC+PC)] 40: MMT60} + 0.2LiSCN Electrolyte system at different temperature

was also studied.

imprinted (MI) to form the EDTA functionalized silica coated magnetite nanomaterials used as an

adsorbent to eliminate the toxic metals from aqueous solution. The particle sizes reveal in the range of

20 nm calculated by X-ray diffraction method. XRD spectra revealed the cubic spinel nature of nano

particles and phase stability also. Monodispersity of the nanoparticles was confirmed due to the size

distribution of the particles by SEM analysis. The EDX study also clearly determined the elemental

ratio of EDTA functionalized silica coated magnetite nanoparticles. FT-IR spectral analysis revealed

that the successful grafting of –COOH functional groups from EDTA on the surface of silica coated

magnetite nanoparticles. Magnetic property was studied by VSM and the nanocomposites are found to

be super paramagnetic at room temperature. The functionalisation of EDTA on the surface of silica

coated magnetite nanoparticles provides –COOH group and –NH2 group to be bonded with toxic

metal ions from contaminated water by physico-chemical interaction process (physisorption and

chemisorptions). It was pragmatic that adsorption was pH dependent and adsorption mechanism

shows an ion exchange as well as electrostatic binding. Desorption investigates that acidic solution

was an efficient eluent with maximum percentage of heavy metal ions released by the nanosorbent

from the regeneration cycle. The desorption study as well as its reusability and recyclability were

accessible that indicates ferrite nanocomposites succeeding adequately.

The present study describes methodological work that exploits the utility of supremacy of the direct

current arc optical emission spectroscopy technique for the investigation of the elemental profile of

pointed gourd (parwal). The emission spectrum of powder sample of parwal has been recorded in the

spectral region 300-700 nm by exciting direct current under optimized experimental condition and

analyzed. The recorded spectrum shows persistent lines of calcium, sodium, potassium, iron,

manganese, magnesium, chromium and titanium with varying intensities and thereby confirming the

presence of these elements with different concentration in the parwal. Curve fitting analysis has been

used for the relative quantitative estimation of the elements present in parwal. The presence of

significant amount of chromium and magnesium in the parwal might be responsible for its anti-

hyperglycemic properties. In addition, the presence of copper and iron makes it useful for other

enzymatic and metabolic activities in humans.

Pulse industry and its derived products have great economic and social importance worldwide as they

are an excellent source of protein, carbohydrate, fibres and minerals. Gram is a highly nutrition food

which provides number of health benefits. It has high protein content; it can easily be consumed by

vegetarians to fulfil their protein need. This necessitates the determination of nutrients profile in

pulses for the quality control. Direct current (d c) arc optical emission spectroscopy is a highly

efficient technique for the determination of nutrient profile of pulses and its derived products. The

direct current arc is free from sample digestion and is sensitive, reliable, inexpensive, user friendly,

eco-friendly, free from spectral interference having simultaneous multi elemental capability. The

Bougainvillaea also known as paper flower is an ornamental flower which has an immense value in

landscaping, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and environmental industries.Different cultivars of



34

bougainvillea flowers are available having interesting colour combination, attractive appearance, size

and shape. The colour of the flowers is a function of plant pigments which is an attractive trait in the

floriculture market. Fresh supply of flowers in order to meet consumer needs necessitates the use of

automated cost effective and rapid techniques for flower sorting and grading. Optical probes like laser

induced fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy have recently appeared as highly efficient tools for the

non-destructive, extraction free, label free, rapid and simultaneous multi compound detection. These

probes can be applied for the on-site detection of biochemicals present in the biosamples. Realizing

the potential of optical spectroscopic probes, the present study aims at investigating the biochemical

present in different cultivars of bougainvillea flowers using Confocal Raman and laser induced

fluorescence spectroscopy.The confocal images and Raman signals have been acquired of theadaxial

surface of the flower petals in the spectral region 0-1700 cm-1.The analysis of the Raman spectrum

reveals that Raman signal appearing at the wavenumber region 1509-1530, 1225-1272 and 1550-1558

cm-1 has been identified as carotenoids, anthocyanins and flavonol glycoside while the signals

appearing in the spectral region 517-521 and 1336-1337 cm-1 have been identified as cellulose. The

laser induced fluorescence spectra of the bougainvillea flower petals have been acquired by exciting

405 nm laser in the spectral region 400-800 nm. The analysis of the fluorescence spectra reveals that

the petals have rich presence of fluorochromes like chlorophyll, carotenoids, flavonoids and

anthocyanins. The spectral signatures obtained in this study can be used by the planners and industries

for the effective use of bougainvillea flowers allied purposes.

NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) show its effect by preventing prostaglandin

synthesis which reasons the ulcer complication and mucosal damage all over the gastrointestinal tract.

World’s most accepted drug was aspirin for treatment of pain and inflammation without knowing that

it has ability to inhibit prostaglandin production by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme for

treatment of pain and inflammation, until the late 1970s. The discovery of cyclo-oxygenaseisoenzyme

(COX-1 and COX-2) and their distinct function leads the development of COX-1 and COX-2

selective inhibitors without any gastrointestinal toxicity. Initial intimations of a second form of the

cyclooxygenase (COX-2) which has different sensitivity for other drugs as like aspirin finally

accompanied in a stimulating period of cyclooxygenase inhibitor discovery, concluding in the

overview of an absolutely new generation of anti-inflammatory drugs. The aim of this paper is to

review the development of COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors. This paper also reviews that, what are the

importance and history of natural product in treatment of inflammation as COX-1 and COX-2

inhibitor.

Ceric ammonium sulphate/sodium disulphite redox system was used to graft poly(acrylamide) onto

Cassia fistula seed gum. The process conditions for obtaining the optimal % grafting (208 %) and %

efficiency (92 %) were: acrylamide = 0.16 M, ceric ammonium sulphate = 0.026 M, sodium

disulphite = 0.050 M, Cassia fistula seed gum = 25 mL (0.4 % (w/v)), and temperature = 40 ± 0.2 ºC.

CF-g-PAM has been characterized using FTIR and SEM studies. Cassia fistula-graft-

poly(acrylamide) (CF-g-PAM) could very efficiently capture “Reactive Blue (RBH5G)” dye from the

simulated dye solutions. The copolymer did not dissolve even under highly acidic pH conditions and

was able to remove 99.4 % dye from 100 mg L-1dye solution under the optimized conditions (pH= 2,

rpm = 150, adsorbent dose = 30 mg, temperature = 40 ºC, and contact time = 4 h). The isotherm

studies indicated that CF-g-PAM has heterogeneous surface sites and significantly high Qmax(500 mg

g-1) for the dye. The dye adsorption followed a pseudo second order kinetics (k’ = 5.3 x 10-3g. mg-1

min-1) indicating chemisorption of the dye is taking place.

University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India


Importance of entrepreneurship has been recognized in several developing countries. With several

growing challenges and crisis globally such as scarcity of potable water, increase in air pollutions,

irrigation of organic food and aquaculture etc. needs interventions of different sciences and

technology for identification of optimal solutions. One such solution towards the availability of water

is implementation of Micro Nano Bubble (MNB) technology for efficient removal of effluents and

pollutants. This technology has shown a potential in treating arsenic and coliform bacteria which are

the major pollutants and toxic agents causing skin cancer and waterborne disease. Unlike setting up

huge plants for water treatment which majorly consumes a large build space, MNBs technology

doesn’t require any build area and can be portable handheld device. These bubbles when generated

with use of different gases, decimate inside the water, resulting in effective treatment. This technology

when scaled for such applications can help fighting water crisis; maintain good water quality for

aquaculture and agriculture.

communications. The concept of fractal microstrip antenna is initially introduced in

mathematics. Due to high need of miniaturized antenna fractal concept is used for RF and

microwave technology. It gives the multi-band and wideband behavior along with high gain

and high bandwidth. It reduces size of antenna and increases its perimeter which can solve the

limitations of other microstrip antenna. Now fractal antenna technique is the main requirement



38

for circuit design, therefore, the proposed design may be very much useful for modern wireless

communications.

73. Spin-Transition in FeIIN6 Complexes: Smart Material

Saleem Javed1 and R. Mukherjee 2.

1Dr. BhimraoAmbedkar University, Agra,U.P.,India 2Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, U.P.,India


Six-coordinate FeII complexes, mostly those with an FeIIN6 coordination environment, may occur in a

paramagnetic high-spin (HS, S = 2) or diamagnetic low-spin (LS, S = 0) state depending on the

relative magnitude of crystal-field strength of the ligand and mean electron-pairing energy. For

intermediate ligand-fields, the energy gap between the excited HS state and the ground LS state may

fall in the range of thermal energy. Consequently, a reversible transition between the two states can be

induced by variation of temperature, pressure, or light irradiation. The phenomenon of spin-crossover

(SCO) between the low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) states is the most spectacular example of

molecular bistability. Although this energy gap can be tuned in a relatively predictable fashion by

varying the strength of the ligand-field, this is not the only factor upon which the existence and

character of a spin-transition depends. This phenomenon is very sensitive to packing effects in the

crystal lattice of the compounds, and entities such as lattice solvent molecules or counterions may

have a drastic influence on SCO properties of the material. Potential applications of SCO materials

are molecular switches, data storage devices and optical display units. During the past fifteen years

or so we have been engaged in this area of research with use of nonplanar N3 donor ligands. The

effect of nonplanarity of the chosen tridentate N3 ligands on the SCO properties of [FeII(L1/L5)2]2+

complexes has been identified and compared with that of the reported behavior of [FeII(L6)2]2+. In this

presentation an account of the effect of counteranion and sovent of crystallization on the spin-state

properties of [FeII(L4)2]2+ will be highlighted.

Global Institute of Technology, Sitapura, Jaipur, Raj.,India


In recent years, large amounts of stone waste have been generated in natural and artificial stone

industry with significant environmental impacts. To solve the problems, stone waste in different forms

could be used in different industrial activities in particular construction industry and other activities

such as paper, ceramics industry, paints, plastics and polymers, glass, rubber, sugar, pharmaceutics,

tectiles or in articles such as soaps or candles. Further it could be applied as agriculture soil

corrective,acid water treatment and dumpsites sealing. For the countries with a developed stone

industry the waste generated in the natural stone processing plants pose environmental and economic

problems. The utilisation of stone waste in various areas is still under research. In addition, there are

only a limited number of studies concerning the use of stone waste obtained from processing plants in

the stabilisation of clayey soil. This is the study that compares the efficiency of the waste calcitic

marble, dolomitic marble and granite powder as additives for the stabilisation of clayey soil. Artificial

soil samples were prepared in the laboratory using bentonite and kaolinite.Natural stone waste powder

was added to the soil samples at different percentages, and the index and compaction parameters of

the stabilised soil were analysed. The results showed that the types of waste powder used in this study,

like lime, could be used as stabilisers. As the percentage of additives increased, the plasticity index of

the clayey soil decreased and the physical properties of the soil changed from clay to silt.

The purpose of this study is to identify how the theory and techniques of yoga and pranayama can be

applied to reduce the stress of students in studying Mathematics.

Yoga is an ancient Indian science which helps to improve physical, mental, social and spiritual health.

There is a need to show that yoga is not merely an exercise system but it has many more health

benefits. The special features of pranayama are: relaxation of the body and mind, complete filling and

emptying of the lungs and activation of silent areas of nervous system. Research is needed to

understand the mechanism of action of yoga and pranayama in students to reduce stress and physical

disorder in studying maths.

Many children have less interest in mathematics and find learning mathematics very difficult, causing

math anxiety, and leading to poor performance in mathematics .This study aimed to compare methods

of reducing such stress , physical disorder and improving cognitive skills using pranayama and asana.


43

Introducing children to stress-reducing techniques of yoga and pranayama offers great potential

benefit.

Improvement in academic performance and alertness has been reported in several yogic studies. When

a student performs a steadying series of asana and pranayama, their emotions are steadied, negative

thoughts tend to decrease. Problem-solving abilities and mental efficiency improves.

Two month of practice of asana and pranayama brings a feeling of well-being, reduction in

indiscipline, nervousness and improvement in memory.

Thiamethoxam is a second generation neonicotinoid insecticide belonging to the thianicotinyl

subclass of chemistry and possesses unique chemical properties. Thiamethoxam offers growers

additional benefits beyond broad-spectrum insect protection1. The increased vigor is evidenced by

faster emergence, greater plant stands, increased root mass, earlier canopy, taller and greener plants

and improved quality.λ-Cyhalothrin is a mixture of highly active isomers of cyclothrin2.It is a non-

systemic insecticide. It acts on the nervous system of the insects by disrupting the function of neurons

by interaction with the sodium channel. In present study, a sensitive method has been developed for

the determination of Thiomethoxam and λ-Cyhalothrin for mixed SC formulation by HPLC. The

analysis was performed at room temperature, using Dionex Ultimate 3000 with Photo Diode Array

(PDA) detector at 265nm. The separation was carried out by RP-18 column having 250mm × 4.6mm

(i.d.) and 5 µm particle size. The mobile phase was used acetonitrile:water (60:40, V/V) at flow rate

of 1 ml/min and the total run time was 10 minutes. In this combination, due to high sensitivity of

Thiamethoxam, the peak of λ-Cyhalothrin is not shown in same injection. In this study, we inject the

sample two times, after detection of Thiomethoxam peak further inject the sample with addition of 5

min cut time in method. Instrument calibrated at five concentration levels with regression coefficient

(R2) value 0.998. Limit of Detection (LOD) of Thiomethoxam and λ - cyhalothrin pesticide varies

from 0.1-1.0 ppm, Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) from 0.5-7.0 ppm andthe RSDs not less than 2%.

Validation studies shows that this proposed method is simple, specific, rapid, reliable and

reproducible.The proposed method is time saving and easily applied for the analysis of active content

for mixed SC formulations.

Alumina nanoparticles were prepared by sol gel method and characterized by using SEM

XRD, FTIR and TEM. Epoxy resin nanocomposites reinforced with alumina nanoparticles

have been prepared at four different formulation levels having F0(Without adding

nanoparticles), F1(2% w/w Alumina), F2(4% w/w Alumina) and F3(6% w/w Alumina)

combination with epoxy resin/hardener, ammonium poly phosphate, boric acid and

milamine,~56:15;15:14 w/w% via slow string method. After homogenization of the

formulation epoxy nanocomposite coatings were dried at room temperature upto 6 days to

convert as solid. The improved glass transition temperature (Tg) and enhanced mechanical

properties of the cured epoxy resin nanocomposites filled with the functionalized alumina

nanoparticles are observed compared with those of the cured pure epoxy resin formulation.

The flammability and thermal stability behavior of these nanocomposites are evaluated using

thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The heat release rate (HRR) peak of the epoxy filled with

functionalized alumina nanoparticles is observed to decrease dramatically with increasing

functionalized alumina particle loadings. An increase in the LOI value was observed with the

increase in wt% of alumina nanoparticles. From the UL-94V data, it was confirmed that the

F-1, F2 and F-3 composites were pass the flame test and were rated as V-0.
