Variation in Persistent Organochlorine Pesticide Residues among Various Tissues of House Sparrow, Passer domesticus, from Tamil Nadu, India, during 2001–2006
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe present study focuses on persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) on various tissues of house sparrow, Passer domesticus, from Tamil Nadu, India, between 2001 and 2006. The major compounds quantified in eggs, liver, brain and muscle tissues are hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (p,p’-DDE), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (ΣDDT), dieldrin, and heptachlor epoxide. The mean concentrations of ΣPCBs, ΣHCH and ΣDDT in eggs are 0.94 ± 0.66 μg/g and 0.35 ± 0.26 μg/g respectively on wet …

Improvement of Yield of Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Activity of Moringa stenopetala Leaves by Optimizing Ultrasonic-assisted Extraction
Abstract: Ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) parameters were optimized in this study using response surface methodology (RSM) to improve the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activity assessed using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) assays of Moringa stenopetala leaves. According to the results, the optimal UAE parameters were extraction time (26 min), ethanol concentration (68%), and solvent-to-sample ratio (42 mL/g). Based on these optimal parameters, …

Phase Transition and Molecular Orientational Studies on Nematic Dimmer and Cholesteric Materials
Abstract: The binary mixture of nematic dimmer and cholesteric compounds viz., cholesteryl nonanoate (CN) and 1,7-bis-4-(4′-cyanobiphenyl) heptane (CB7CB) exhibits very interesting liquid crystalline phase’s at large range of concentrations and temperature. The concentrations with lower/higher percentage of CB7CB exhibit cholesteric and reentrant smectic-A phases sequentially when the specimen is cooled from its isotropic phase. The molecular tilt and birefringence have been discussed in the region of smetic-A and smectic-C phases, respectively …

A New Approach of Synthesis Fe-Substituted Bi-2223 Superconductors
Abstract: Generally, the Bismuth based high temperature superconductors are utilizing in three phases as Bi-2201, Bi-2212 and Bi-2223. These have different transition temperature according to superconducting phase. Here, we studied about Bi-2223 phase by using complex Bi2Sr2Can-1 (Cu1-xFex)3O10+δ where n = 3. In this complex, we has been doped iron in Coper (Cu) site (x = 0.07%). This sample was prepared by solid state reaction method. The planetary Ball mill was …

Drug Delivery Systems and Innovations
Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop a controlled release system targeting antibiotic distribution to the stomach. The hydrogels were synthesized by utilizing chitosan, poly(acrylic acid) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) polymers cross linked with glutaraldehyde and N,N′-methylene bisacrylamide. Interpenetrating polymeric network (IPN) hydrogels were compare by varying the concentration of crosslinking agent (glutaraldehyde). The amount of chitosan, poly(acrylic acid), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) and N, N’-methylenebisacrylamide were kept constant in all formulations. …
