<#LINE#>Preparation of Chitosan Membrane derived from Crustaceans residues Forproton Exchange Membrane Application<#LINE#>Ramirez-Perez@Javier C. <#LINE#>1-7<#LINE#>1.ISCA-RJRS-2016-009.pdf<#LINE#>Departmento de Química, Facultad de Biología, Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, Ecuador and Department of Chemistry, Kent State University at Stark, North Canton, OH 44720, USA<#LINE#>7/2/2016<#LINE#>10/10/2016<#LINE#>Proton exchange membrane (PEM) is used in fuel cells, as an alternative to synthetic fuel cell membranes, currently widely used, a natural biopolymer chitosan is one of the promising membrane materials, it is the N-deacetylated derivative of chitin, and chitin has been found in a wide range of natural sources. Shrimp and crab crustacean exoskeletons are regarded as organic solid wastes by fishing industry and food processing in Ecuador. Thus, the raw material is cheap, biodegradable, and renewable source of chitin and chitosan. The general objective of this study was to obtain a cost effective and eco-friendly chitosan membrane derived from shrimp and crab residues and to estimate various, physicochemical parameters.  The membrane chitosan preparation from shrimp and crab consisted of cleaned, grained to a finely powder. Chitin was extracted from the powder sample by deproteinization and demineralization process. Chitosan membrane was obtained from chitin by thermo alkaline deacetylation process and cross-linked in sulfuric acid. Ash content values of shrimp chitosan are lower than crab chitosan suggesting that crab chitosan contain large amounts of mineral material, such as calcium carbonate. The shrimp chitosan has a higher degree of acetylation and lower values of viscosities than crab chitosan. TGA and DTG measurements exhibit shrimp chitosan weight loss in three stages, whereas crab chitosan shows six stages of weight loss. This is associated to the evaporation of water present in the sample and degradation of compounds within crab chitosan that occurs over a large temperature interval with the final stage beginning at about 400oC. FT-IR spectroscopy results showed the collapse of shrimp and crab chitin to chitosan, strong decrease in intensity decarbonization and  were compared to data from thermo gravimetric analysis conducted in oxygen atmosphere. XRD pattern of shrimp and crab chitosans exhibited two crystalline peaks at 2&#952; = 9.25o and 19.19o. In conclusions, chitin and chitosan were prepared from shrimp and crab residues, which are thrown as waste by the seafood industry, causing environmental menace in Ecuador. The results demonstrate the potential to produce shrimp and crab biopolymer as proton exchange membrane for fuel cells.<#LINE#>Mekhilef S., Saidur R. and Safari A.

When society is cognizant of depleting reserves of fossil fuels beside the deteriorating global climate, it is apparent that biodiesel promises to make a handsome contribution to the future energy demands of the domestic and industrial economies. Among different edible (crop based) and non-edible potential foliages of biodiesel (mono alkyl esters) castor is an esoteric potential of sustainable energy and promising substitute for crop-based biodiesel. The present work investigates the possibility of a novel fuel additive package synthesized from castor oil for agricultural diesel engines. The research challenge of fuelling diesel engines with crude castor oil in absolute package concerns its high viscosity. The mechanism of transesterification using lower or higher alcohols subsides the viscosity of crude castor oil to an acceptable range and other properties were evaluated using diesel as baseline fuel. In present investigation, castor oil methyl and ethyl esters (COME and COEE) were synthesized using both methanol and ethanol. The physical and chemical properties of COME and COEE were proximal and COME revealed a little higher viscosity than that of COEE. Low temperature operability (cloud point and pour point) of COEE were better than those of COME. Engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics were analysed using additive package to diesel such as COME20, COEE20 and absolute package of COME, COEE, with petroleum diesel being the standard fuel. Results inferred that COME yielded a little higher power than that of COEE and hazardous emissions of COEE being slightly lower than that of COME. The research work concludes that both COME and COEE can be used as an additive package (20%) to petroleum diesel in agricultural CI engines without any modification in engine hardware. However absolute package of COME and COEE to agricultural CI engines extends the research work to an aesthetical change in engine hardware facilitating preheat up to 60-1000C overcoming cold weather operability.<#LINE#>Demirbas A.

The climatic data from year 1991-2014 i.e. 24 years was used for study.  The results indicated that temperature based ANN architecture 2-2-1 and 3-4-1 found suitable for estimation of reference evapotranspiration under humid conditions. For mass based ANN model 4-4-1 and 5-4-1 architectures found appropriate for forecasting of evapotranspiration.  The ANN architecture 6-2-1 gives good outcome than other architectures when all climatic variables were considered in the input layers.  The study found that the different ANN architectures may be used under limited or missing data conditions. Temperature based, mass based and combination based models can be used for estimation of evapotranspiration by selecting the ideal nodes in hidden layer.<#LINE#>Khoshravesh Mojtaba, Mohammad Ali Gholami Sefidkouhi and Mohammad Valipour (2015).@Estimation of reference evapotranspiration using multivariate fractional polynomial,   Bayesian regression, and robust regression models in three arid environments.@Appl.

The dimension reduction technique like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which uses an orthogonal transformation is used in this study. The PCA technique has been applied in upper and middle sub basins of Godavari river basins for 11 selected watersheds, Maharashtra (India). For grouping geomorphic parameters on the basis of their significant correlations13 dimensionless geomorphic parameters are considered. PCA clearly shows that first two PC are strongly correlated among some geomorphic parameters. The results show that the 3rd PC is not showing strong correlation with any parameter but shows moderate correlation with Lb/Lw. The result clearly reveals that, due to poor correlation of the hypsometric integral and main stream channel slope with others could not be grouped with any of the component. The PC loading matrix which is obtained from finally selected 11 parameters correlation matrix, clearly showed first three component gives 94.283% explained variance. Hence it is concluded that PCA is very effective and useful tool to screen out the insignificant parameters for watersheds hydrologic behavioural study such as runoff and sediment yield modelling.<#LINE#>Sharma S.K., Gajbhiye S. and Tignath.

Most of the part of crops is destroyed by the phytopathogens such as fungi, bacteria and yeast causes to economic losses to the farmers. Extensive use of the chemicals for controlling the plant diseases in the field has unbalanced the delicate environmental harmony of the fertile land, causes soil water contamination, evolution of new races of microorganisms and risk for humans health. The constant and continue demand for new bio-therapeutic agents with an effective mode of action has activated the intensive/deep research in the field of diverse natural bioactive molecules having antimicrobial activity. Among these active molecules, lipopeptide(s) are a unique class of bio-active secondary metabolites with increasing scientific, therapeutic and biotechnological interest. Bacillus subtilis produced mainly a four different types of lipopeptides with a potential for biotechnological and biopharmaceutical applications. Among the all Lipopeptide(s) classes, Iturin and Surfactin shows attractive antibiotic properties. The main family of the microbial lipopeptide(s) is surfactin, which mainly originated from the B. subtilis. These properties of the surfactin make a momemtous drug (surfactin) for the resolution of a number of global issues in medicine. Cancer and phytopathogens are the major problem in the today’s scenario. The bacterial lipopeptide(s) have lower toxicity for plants and animals, high biodegradability, low irritancy and compatibility with human skin.<#LINE#>Meena K.R. and Kanwar S.S.
