Fibre and hybrid fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete– A Review

In The utilization of cementing material such as silica fume, flyash, granulated blast furnace slag, rice-husk ash and metakaolin are new trend in concrete studies. Ordinary Portland cement utilizes significant amount of natural resources and pollutes the atmosphere by emitting large amount of carbondioxide.so to reduce this ill effect, a new research field is developed in concrete called geopolymer concrete.

Comparative study of the nutrients in the voandzeia subterranea seeds (var of nkamba and djambala)

The objective of the study is to compare the composition of nutrients on two cultivars of voandzou seeds. The seeds of voandzou we studied come from the locality of Nkamba South of the DR Congo and in the town of Djambala precisely in the North of Congo Brazzaville. Biochemical and physicochemical seeds characteristics were evaluated to determine the nutritional value of the seeds of this legume and its conservation.

Successive crops of lettuce fertilized with bovine manure in the presence and absence of mung bean

Using legumes as a green manure is a well-established practice because it adds nitrogen-rich plant material to the soil. This study evaluates successive crops of lettuce fertilized with different doses of bovine manure in the presence and absence of mung bean. Experiments were carried out at the Rafael Fernandes Experimental Farm, Mossoró, Brazil, from August 2015 to January 2016. We applied a complete randomized block design with treatments arranged in a 4 x 2 factorial scheme, with four replications.

Comparative in-vitro antibacterial activity of volatile oils indigeneous to chhattisgarh region

In the present pharmaceutical are the science which treat in detail medicinal, pharmacognosy and related product of drug obtained from plant, animal and mineral origins. In short, it is an study crude drugs from natural sources treated scientifically and it encompasses the knowledge of the history, distribution, cultivation, collection, processing for market and preservation, the study of sensory, physical, chemical, and structural characters and the uses of crud drugs. The aim to study of some crude drug in Chhattisgarh region like Ginger, Ajwain, and Black paper.

Diatoms as ecological indicators of water quality assessment in adihalli lake, Gandasi lake and halagenalli lakes of Arasikere Taluk, Hassan District, Karnataka, India

Ecological indicators have pervasive appeal to scientists, environmental managers and general public at large. They have long been used to detect changes in nature, but scientific maturation in indicator development has occurred mainly in the past twenty years. Currently, indicators are primarily used to assess condition of the environment, as early-warning signals of ecological problems. The present survey reveals the presence of diverse diatom communities in three lakes consisting of 9 different genera and 15 species.

Invitro anticancer activity of coconut shell oil on breast cancer cell line

The ethanolic extract of Coconut shell oil were analysed for the anticancer activity against breast cancer cell lines. Coconut shells were collected and further processed for extract preparation. Breast cancer cell line was obtained from NCCS, Pune and was maintained in DMEM High Glucose media in 10% FBS, Penecillin (100 U/ml) and Streptomycin (100 µg/ml).The antiproliferative activity of Coconut shell oil were analysed by 0.5% 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method.

Influence of temperature and geometry on peach drying kinetics

The peach (Prunus pérsica) much appreciated worldwide due to its organoleptic characteristics, being a highly perishable fruit must be processed quickly after harvest. An alternative well-known for preserving food and little explored in peach fruit is dehydration. This study aimed to compare the peach dehydration kinetics using two variables: temperature and geometry of the fruit.

Results of using green fallow on irrigated soil to enhance the fertility of soil

In our country average precipitation is annually 250-300 mm, and when we assuming that we need 22, 0-30,2 mm precipitation for getting 1 centner of wheat and thus means it is sufficient for 7-10 centner yield. For more yield use irrigation systems to provide the fields with enough water and humidity is important issue. Cultivation using rotation is not only for producing high yields but also it is important for stabilizing and improving the soil fertility like the first condition of the soil.

Extending the storage-life of gerbera flowers cv. ‘lexington’ using cold storage

The experiment was conducted at Ecofrost Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Pune, Maharashtra, to study the effects of tap water, Sucrose, and Sucrose + Citric acid solution treatments on the post-harvest storage-life of cut flowers of Gerbera cv. ‘Lexington’ inside cold storage as well as at room conditions. Gerbera flowers treated with (2% Sucrose + Citric acid 0.2%) (T4) holding solution resulted in the longest storage-life of the cut flowers (13.3 days). Optimum weight of the cut flower (g) on the 3rd, 6th and 10th days was best maintained using treatment i.e. Sucrose 2% (T3).
