The synthesized compound of 1-acetyl-4,5-dihydro-5-phenyl-3-(thiophen-2yl) pyrazoles was characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR. The structure are also elucidated and purity confirmed by TLC. The corrosion inhibition rate was increased in increasing the concentration of our synthesized inhibitor (1-acetyl-4, 5-dihydro-5-methyl phenyl-3-(thiophen-2yl) pyrazoles). The synergetic effect also studied and observed good correlation between halides and our inhibitor. The adsorption isotherm was also confirmed by langumuir adsorption isotherm. <#LINE#> @ @ Ajay Kumar K., Jayaroopa P., Int J Pharm Tech.,5(4), 1473-1486 (2013) @No $ @ @ Selvakumar P., Balanaga B.

The ethanol and water content were varied and the generated precursor compound was calcined for an hour at temperature of 300 °C. Samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. The crystallite sizes were in the range of 17–35 nm based on Debye-Scherrer equation. Scanning electron photomicrographs suggest that all the samples were well crystalline, randomly oriented disc like morphology. The FT-IR result shows strengthen other results and also blue shift was noticed in UV–Vis absorption spectra. <#LINE#> @ @ Kenneth J., Klabunde and Peter K.

Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of the contact time and initial concentration of Pb(II) ions for five maize cobs activated carbons and for a commercial one. The properties of the studied materials are correlated to their adsorption capacities. The carbon obtained from the hard part of the cob is the one which adsorbs best Pb2+. Its adsorption percentage at 60 ppm is 32.97% and itsK-value about 0.45 cm/mg. The commercial sample with an adsorption percentage of about 99% and k-value of about 97.73 cm/mg is by far the best adsorbent. The intraparticle diffusion seems to be the rate-limiting step. <#LINE#> @ @ Xu H.Y., Yang L., Wang P., Liu Y. and Peng M., Kinetic research on the sorption of aqueous lead by synthetic carbonate hydroxyapatite, J.

They are the products of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and other organic materials from natural and anthropogenic sources in the rural and urban atmosphere. Eight PAHs were determined in PM10 collected at rural environment using Respirable sampler during winter, summer and post-monsoon seasons. The filters were extracted in ultrasonic bath with dichloromethane and analyzed by fluorescence technique. The total PAHs concentration varied from 2.67-17, 2.51-3.79 and 1.63-3.59 ng m-3 during winter, summer and post-monsoon season respectively. The benzo(a)pyrene and chrysene were found to be associated with particulate during all the seasons. The diagnostic ratio suggest that PAHs emissions were predominantly associated with coal, wood and biomass burning in rural environment. The higher toxic fraction observed during summer (53.8%) are probable human carcinogens associated with aerosols. Toxic equivalency factor (TEFs) of BaP estimated and expressed as BaPeq was low in concentration. The study could be of great significance for the planners while considering the environmental remedial measures. <#LINE#> @ @ Hui T.J., Seng T.H., Abas M.R. and Tahir N.M., Distribution and health risk of APHs in smoke aerosols from burning of selected garden wastes, The MJ. of Anal.

This has been efficiently utilized for fabrication of gas sensors. PPy in its nano form is known to enhance this property even further. In this article we have presented ammonia sensing by PPy nano networks developed in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. Prior to the gas sensing study, the composite films are characterized by FESEM, XRD, FTIR and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. These confirm formation of network, evidence of presence of PPy and PPy-PVA cross linking and moderately high in-plane electrical conductivity with ohmic nature of I-V. Ammonia sensing using this template as chemiresistor shows appreciable change in sensitivity in moderately low response time with fair reversibility. <#LINE#> @ @ Shirakawa H, Louis EJ, MacDiarmid Alan G, Chiang Chwan and Heeger Alan J.,Synthesis of electrically conducting organic polymers: halogen derivatives of polyacetylene, (CH) x J.

Skeletonema costatum is the most attractive algae species for biodiesel production, with low lipid content. Therefore, research work is focused on increasing the lipid content and growth rate by varying the factors like salt and iron concentration which enhance the biodiesel production from Skeletonema costatum. The Skeletonema costatum was grown in Conway’s medium at constant pH and temperature of 7 and 24C respectively for 12 days of incubation in a batch reactor. NaCl and ferrous sulphate were used as the salt and iron source respectively. Various concentrations of NaCl and ferrous sulphate were 0.1mM, 0.2mM, 0.3Mm, 0.4mM, 0.5mM and 10µM, 20µM, 30µM, 40µM, 50µM respectively.30µM FeSO.7HO and 0.4 mM NaCl resulted the highest growth rate of 0.25 d-1 and 0.32 d-1respectively. Also, maximum lipid content of 65.8 %CDW was found at 0.4mM of NaCl and 48.5%CDW was obtained with 30µM of FeSO.7HO resulted. Thus, it can be concluded that the presence of NaCl and FeSO.7HO in the media increases the lipid content of Skeletonema costatum after 12 days of incubation, when comparing with the corresponding controls. <#LINE#> @ @ Nita R., Effect of nutrient depletion and temperature stressed on growth and lipid accumulation In marine –green algae Nannochloropsis sp., Americal J Res.

This paper therefore investigates one of the most addictive alkaloids (nicotine) in tobacco believed not only to be carcinogenic but also a precursor for other health problems bedeviling smokers. In this work, two commercial cigarette brands, SM1 and ES1 are explored for evolution of nicotine over a modest temperature range of 200 – 700 C at 1 atmosphere under conditions representative of real world cigarette smoking. 1µL of cigarette pyrolysate collected in methanol was injected into a gas-chromatograph hyphenated to a mass selective detector (MSD). The peak area for nicotine for all the pyrolysis temperatures was recorded and consequently, product distribution curves of nicotine in each cigarette brand were reported. It is evident from the results that ES1 cigarette yields high levels of nicotine over the entire pyrolysis temperature range. At 400 C, the concentration of nicotine from ES1 was 7.90 x 10 GC-area counts while that of SM1 was 6.39 x 10 GC-area counts. Nonetheless, the concentration of nicotine for SM1 cigarette brand peaked at about 500 C and decreased exponentially to 8.8 x 10 GC-area counts at 700 C. Based on these results alone, it can be deduced that ES1 cigarette is more toxic than SM1 cigarette. The toxicity indices for nicotine and its corresponding nicotinyl radical were determined using Quantitative Structural Activity Relation (QSAR) in HyperChem computational program and found to be 0.22 and 0.74 respectively. These toxicity values are referenced to the partition coefficient between octanol and water. The consequences of nicotine exposure have also been discussed in this paper. <#LINE#> @ @ Busch C., Streibel T., Liu C., McAdam K.G. and Zimmermann R., Pyrolysis and combustion of tobacco in a cigarette smoking simulator under air and nitrogen atmosphere, Ana.l and Bioanal.

The constants A and B of Guntherschulze-Betz empirical equation have been determined. The value of A varied with temperature but the value of B was found independent of temperature, which implies the non-dependence of Tafel slope on temperature. Quadratic variation of field strength with ionic current density was examined critically in view of Dignam model. The zero field activation energy (f), dimensionless quantity (C), zero field activation dipole (), net activation energy W (E) and Morse function parameter (w) of Dignam model were evaluated. The effects of temperature and current density on various parameters of Dignam model have been discussed. Quadratic term contributed significantly which elucidates that single-barrier theory does not explain the data satisfactorily. <#LINE#> @ @ EI-Mahdy G.A., Formation and dissolution behaviour of niobium oxide in phosphoric acid solutions, Thin Solid films,307, 141-147 (1997) @No $ @ @ Kamada K., Mukai M. and Matsumoto Y., Anodic dissolution of tantalum and niobium in acetone solvent with halogen additives for electrochemical synthesis of Ta and Nb thin films, Electrochim.

Most of the cases are reported in past few years in forensic labs in which ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine were detected. Since reports predict about new harmful substances which are being emerging with unfailing regularities of drug scene, it is now challenged to speed and creativity in the analysis of these new psychotropic substances. This is an alarming drug problem arising in inflating rate. But, these drugs are sold via the internet and show more deleterious effects than other traditional medicines. The limitless scope to change the composition of chemical structure of new psychotropic substances and formulations shows outpacing exploration into international control. In this paper an determined attempt has been inculcated to show the factors and causes responsible for inflating abuse of these precursor chemicals. <#LINE#> @ @ International search report issued in application no. pct/us2011/039046., Feb 9, (2012) @No $ @ @ U.S.appl.no .11/520, 497 entitled, method of reducing plasma stabilization time in a cyclic deposition process filed sep2012, (2006) @No $ @ @ Martindale: Edited by Reynolds JEF, ed.
