A Review on Synthesis and Characterisation of Nanoclusters
Abstract: Nanoclusters are materials with size less than 2 nm. Because of their small size and high surface area, they have properties which can be used for various applications like bio-sensing, catalysis, fuel cells etc. The synthesis techniques are carried out in such a way that the size-selection of nanoclusters take place. The synthesis methods discussed in this review include both top-down and bottom-up techniques. The different characterization techniques taken into …

Cyber Security Evaluation for a Petroleum Refinery Using Attack Tree Methodology and Economic Indexes
Abstract: Information Technology (IT) is vital and valuable to our society. An important type of IT system is Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. The most common misconception regarding the security of SCADA was that this network was electronically isolated from other networks and hence attackers could not access them. Over the years SCADA systems have become incorporated with other IT systems, which has made them becoming increasingly vulnerable to …

Effect of the U.V. Irradiation on the Aqueous Solution of Dye (i.e. Cresol Purple)
Abstract: This study aimed to estimate the effect of the U.V. irradiation on the aqueous solution of cresol purple. Then study the effect of the activation energy of each electron transfere on the absorbance and λmax values. The absorbance and λmax values of the selective λmax solutions were chanced in most solutions, where the U.V radiation gave different values at different irradiation periods, most of solution gave low values of absorbance …

Hexavalent Chromium Resistance Test of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Modeling of its Bioaccumulation Process
Abstract: Now a day, the release of high chromium containing tannery waste water from tanning industries to the environment is the life threatening action of human activities and bioaccumulation becomes a better alternative in treating heavy metals(such as Cr(VI) )due to its cost effective, relatively high heavy metal removal capacity and recovery property. Cell suspensions of S.cerevisiae at its exponential growth phase were added to 250 ml plastic flasks of containing …

Model to Predict a Ratio Control of Hydrocarbon Acid and Water in a Packed Bed Reactor
Abstract: Model development was carried out to examine the ratio of hydrochloric acid gas and water in a packed bed reactor. The research predicted increase in output with increase in time, revealing the effectiveness ratio control of hydrochloric acid separation from water using absorption column mechanism. The density of the products played an active role in the separation process as well as in control action function. The developed model can be …

Chemical Processing of SU-8 Photoresist to Record the Surface-Driven Microfluidic Flow of Dyed Working Liquid in the Regime of Fluid Mechanics
Abstract: Chemical processing of negative photoresist SU-8 is performed to fabricate a set of three individualSU-8 based glass microfluidic devices inside the cleanroom laboratory. The major steps of SU-8processing are spin coating using a spin coater, soft baking, ultra-violet (UV) exposure, post exposurebaking, development by SU-8 developer, and hard baking. The indirect bonding for leakage-freesealing is used during hard baking to fabricate the microfluidic devices. Author has prepared thedyed water to …
