Giant Spindle Cell Lipoma of Middle Finger: Case Report and Review of Literature.

We present a case of a giant Spindle cell lipoma of dimensions 11 cm × 7 cm, involving the middle finger of a 62-year-old female, without distal neurovascular deficits. Spindle cell lipoma is a rare subtype that accounts for 1.5% of all lipomatous tumors.

Environment impact assessment of agricultural diesel engines utilizing biodiesel derived from phoenix sylvestris oil.

Uncontrolled emissions, massive price increases, and other factors encourage searching for a suitable diesel engine fuel alternative. In its processed form, vegetable oil biodiesel is an appealing green alternative fuel for compression ignition engines. Vegetable oil esters have qualities comparable to those of standard diesel fuel.

Assessment of changes of vector borne diseases with wetland characteristics using multivariate analysis.

Vector borne diseases are a threat to human health. Little attention has been paid to the prevention of these diseases. We attempted to identify the significant wetland characteristics associated with the spread of chikungunya, dengue fever and malaria in Kerala, a tropical region of South West India using multivariate analyses (hierarchical cluster analysis, factor analysis and multiple regression).

Mass transfer studies on the biodegradation of phenols in up-flow packed bed reactors.

A quantitative analysis of the effect of mass transfer coefficients on the operating parameters namely, flow rate, bed height, particle and column diameter, voidage and initial concentration of phenols, etc. is carried out for the biodegradation of phenols in an up-flow packed bed reactor. A mass transfer correlation of the type, j(D)=K (Re')(n-1) is developed to represent the present experimental data obtained using activated carbon-Pseudomonas pictorum-alginate, celite-P.
