Effect of different concentrations of mercuric iodide on the growth of Microcystis spp.
Abstract: Cyanobacteria are commonly called as blue green algae which are abundantly distributed in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem. They are procaryotic autotrophic organisms and have thallus structure. Such organisms are actively involved in the biological nitrogen fixation which can fix the atmospheric nitrogen and converts into ammonia compounds. Plants can utilize such converted components for their growth and metabolic activities. Since they are diazotrophs which is the suitable supplement to …

Geosynthetic polymeric material Reinforced Model Shallow Foundation's Monotonic and Cyclic Uplift Response Affected by Ground Inclination
Abstract: The foundation system of any structure is vital for ensuring safety, serviceability, and performance, particularly when subjected to vertical and uplift forces. While conventional foundations are primarily designed to resist compressive loads, structures such as transmission towers, offshore platforms, buried pipelines, retaining systems, and marine facilities are frequently subjected to uplift forces generated by wind, waves, buoyancy, and cyclic loading. Under such conditions, the uplift resistance of soil and uplift …

Crosslinked Starch Polymer for Coating on Fruit/Vegetable for Preservation Derived from Waste De-Oiled Soybean Cake
Abstract: Cross-linked starch films have been prepared by reacting starch extracted from de-oiled soybean cake (waste material from oil industry) with bio-based acids citric acid and tartaric acid. The obtained films were characterized by spectroscopic, thermal and surface morphological techniques. Thermal analysis showed that thin film has good thermal stability. The micrographs obtained from scanning electron microscopy showed the film surface has smooth and uniform morphology. Biological properties like cytocompatibility, antimicrobial …
