Identification of the Dietary Risk Factors of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 among Employees of Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh: An Observational Study
Abstract: Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is closely related to lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activities, alcohol, smoking, calorie intake as well as obesity and positive family history. Available data suggest that diet is the main culprit and a change in dietary habits and dietetics has a greater potential to improve T2DM. Aims and Objectives: To identify the dietary risk factors of T2DM and find out the association of established …

Performance of Artificial Neural Network for Tree Species Identification using Sentinel-2 Data
Abstract: Accurate land cover mapping, especially concerning vegetation, is crucial for effective land use policy planning and sustainable forest management. Hence, achieving accuracy in mapping requires a deep understanding of composition changes, vegetation conditions, and the spatial distribution of tree species. In the spatial context of tree species, it holds significant potential for applications including invasive species monitoring, delineating contaminated areas, and biodiversity conservation. However, traditional methods for tree species identification …

Impact of Lubricants from Renewable Resources on Industry and Environment
Abstract: AbstractIncreased probability of extinction of world’s fossil oil reserves, raised oil prices and the worldwide approach to defend the environment against pollution, exerted by undisciplined disposal of lubricants have brought greater interest in the development and use of eco-friendly lubricants. Various techniques like physiochemical extraction, thermochemical, and biochemical processes are presently used to develop such eco-friendly lubricants. Vegetable sources continue to be important biomass feedstock in formulation of such lubricants …

Zymomonas isolated from different States of Mexico: limited producers of ethanol
Abstract: The microbial synthesis of ethanol is conventionally by yeast, however the bacterial genus Zymomonas has an interesting capacity to synthesize ethanol, currently it is an ecological alternative, for the global demand for fuels other than oil. The objectives of this work were: i) to isolate Zymomonas that synthesize ethanol from natural sources ii) to select Zymomonas natural amounts for ethanol synthesis. The results show a wide distribution of Zymomonas in …
