Synthesis of Novel Series of Coumarin Derivatives
Abstract: In a synthetic method similar to Knoevenagel reaction, 3-acetyl coumarin was prepared in the same way through a cyclization condensation reaction betweensalicylaldehyde and ethyl acetoacetate under basic condition using piperidine. Hence, 3-acetyl coumarin as a starting material was reacted with bromine in ether using a Lewis acid as a reactioncatalyst to produce the corresponding α–bromoaceyl cromen-2-one derivative. In application ofHantzsch synthesis, the reaction of α–bromoaceyl cromen-2-one with thioacetamide in ether …

The Impact of Temperature and Pressure on the Efficiency of Thermodynamic Processes in Power Generation
Abstract: A subfield of physics called thermodynamics studies how heat interacts with other types of energy. It plays a crucial role in power generation, where the conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy and eventually into electrical energy is carried out. Temperature and pressure are just two of the many variables that affect how efficiently thermodynamic processes produce electricity. This article aims to provide an overview of the impact of temperature …

A Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluation System with Greater Emphasis on Molecular Genetics
Abstract: Bull is known to be half of the herd. As bull contribute large number of progenies to the next generation as compared to females so determining the potential fertility of the bull is much more important than determining the fertility of any individual cow. It becomes critical to study and analyse the breeding potential of a bull before breeding season for getting best out of progeny. Breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) …
