The binuclear complexes support either enhancement of the phenoxy bridging or change of the coordination behavior of the studied hydrazone. Most complexes have the preferable Oh geometry (1-4), whereas complexes 5 and 6 have Td and square pyramid arrangements. As is evidenced from its µeff value = 3.98 BM, complex 5 acquires a tetrahedral arrangement around the Ni(II)- ion. The hydrazone ligand has a reformed character i.e. it changes its coordination behavior towards the transition metal ions as a result of the basicity of the reaction medium. In absence of KOH, the Cu(II) and Ni(II)- complexes revealed their higher affinity for NN- donors and the ligand behaves as a neutral species. Extensive spectroscopic and analytical studies were done to support the suggested structures of the complexes.<#LINE#>Finar I.L.

Anti-collagenase activity of BTB and tea catechin, epigallocatechingallate (EGCG) were ascertained in vitro using collagenase enzyme from Clostridium histolyticum and a synthetic substrate (FALGPA) using spectroscopy. BTB induced marked and significant (P < 0.05) anti-collagenase activity (IC50 = 80.04 ± 2.34 µg/ml). This effect was dose dependent. Moreover, anti-collagenase activity of BTB was superior to EGCG (IC50 = 112.12 ± 0.93 µg/ml), a well known anti-collagenase phytoconstituent of green tea. The results convincingly show that Sri Lankan low grown orthodox Orange Pekoe grade black tea possesses remarkable anti-collagenase activity in vitro and display its promise to be developed as a potent anti-aging skin nutraceutical.<#LINE#>Baumann L.

Presently, there is an increasing demand for glucose syrup at local market due to its wide application in food industry such as bakery, confectionery, beverage and dairy. Since there is a high importation cost for glucose syrup to the country, this study was focused to optimize liquefaction and saccharification times at constant selected enzyme concentrations in laboratory scale production of glucose syrup from Cassava starch with an intention to scaling up process. Recommended commercial Cassava variety (MU-51) was analyzed for its composition and extractable starch content. Extracted starch was subject to liquefaction under known, constant alpha-amylase concentration (0.03% w/w, dry basis) and DE was measured at constant time intervals until the DE reached to the expected DE value of 8-15. Liquefied slurry obtained at expected optimized liquefaction time was subject to saccharification under known, constant glucoamylase concentration (0.07% w/w, dry basis) and DE value was obtained at different time periods in order to optimize saccarification step to obtain glucose syrups with required intermediate or high DE values. Study was shown that the estimated optimum liquefaction time was 15 min under the given conditions. Minimum saccharification times spent to obtain glucose syrups with intermediate and high DE values were 15 min and 75 min respectively. In each case the total enzymatic reaction time spent for laboratory scale production of glucose syrup was less than 2 h.<#LINE#>Prasangika H.S.M., Salim N. and Razak M.M.

The presence of phytochemical constituents was checked by qualitative screening using different chemical tests indicated the occurrence of alkaloids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids and sulphates while carbohydrates, steroids and carbonates were absent. Quantitively, total content of phenol and total content of flavonoid methanolic extract was evaluated using method named Folin-Ciocalteau’s and named aluminum trichloride method respectively. We concluded that leaves have highest flavonoids and phenolic content seeds whereas have least phenolic content and stem have lowest flavonoids content. Antioxidant activities of methanolic extracts of leaves, stems, roots and seeds of different plant parts were estimated using two methods from % age inhibition of DPPH and hydrogen peroxide we concluded that in both methods leaves had greater antioxidant activity and seeds had lesser antioxidant activity.Antibacterial potential was evaluated by Diffusion well method against two bacterial strains as Rhodococcus species and Pseudomonas species using ampicillin as a reference standard. By the calculation of zone of inhibition, concluded that leaves exhibited highest antibacterial effect and lowest by seeds. The results obtained from study indicate that leaves of oxalis corniculata have highest pharmacological applications for further study.<#LINE#>Farhan H., Rammal H., Hijazi A., Hamad H. and Badran B.

The use of chromium compounds is the greatest chemical problem in the developing countries. The concentration of chromium in drinking water as per World Health Organization (WHO), Unites States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) should have less than 0.05 mg/L. Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), 2012 gave the permissible limit of chromium(VI) for industrial discharge water as 0.1ppm. Chromium causes adverse impact on human health. Due to chromium contamination various health impacts has been reported in Tamil Nadu, Kanpur, Manaliand Balanagar. The present review study deals with the Chromium problems in groundwater, its source, occurrence and case study with special reference to Sukinda Mines, Orissa; Tanneries of Vellore, Tamil Nadu, Kanpur; and from other industrial activities . Sources of chromium are well known. In India Chromites ore mining in Sukinda Valley Orissa and the tannery Industry in Vellore Tamil Nadu and Kanpur is the Main source contributing to come India in the Blacksmith Institute’s “worst polluted countries” list. Ganga River is at high risk due to the tanneries of Kanpur. This review paper provides social awareness among the public.<#LINE#>Dhal B., Thatoi H.N., Das N.N. and Pande B.D.

The solar radiation coming to earth surface primarily depends on the climate conditions. In developing countries like Nepal, there is no sufficient reliable data of solar irradiance and measuring instruments. In the absence of sufficient data there is a need of an empirical model to estimate the solar irradiance which seems very important in every region of Nepal. This empirical model use several meteorological parameters among them sunshine hour are mostly and commonly used parameters. The least square regression is performed to derive these constants. The measured and predicted solar irradiance were tested using mean percentage error (MPE), mean bias error (MBE) and root mean square (RMSE) Further, we calculated corresponding value of coefficient of determination (R2). The predicted and measured values get close to each other and hence they are remarkable. Finding regression constants are used to predict the GSR at that location for further utilization. This Solar energy can be utilized to mitigate energy crisis at that location. In addition, this finding also helps to grow more crops or foods on the basis of rainfall, sun shine hour, humidity, temperature.<#LINE#>Ghosh Gopi Kanta (1991).@Solar energy: the infinite source.@APH Publishing.@Yes$Khan B.H.

This may be accomplished by execution of electrochemical sensors with low detection limit and greater selectivity towards lead(II) ion. Number of ionophores were created and studied for lead(II) ion detection.
