Blends of Salvinia molesta oil microemulsion with diesel in an unmodified diesel engine for the simultaneous reduction of nitrogen oxide and smoke.

In this study, microemulsion synthesized from chemically extracted oil with diesel was evaluated as fuel in stationary unmodified diesel engine. The microemulsions from oil was prepared using the best combinations of 67% oil, 15% ethanol, 13% water and 5% surfactant (span 80) and its properties were compared with that of diesel. The engine test conducted with M10, M20 and M30 blends and reported a brake thermal efficiency of 29.

Wastewater microbial diversity versus molecular analysis at a glance: a mini-review.

Microorganisms play a vital role in biological wastewater treatment by converting organic and toxic materials into harmless substances. Understanding microbial communities' structure, taxonomy, phylogeny, and metabolic activities is essential to improve these processes. Molecular microbial ecology employs molecular techniques to study community profiles and phylogenetic information since culture-dependent approaches have limitations in providing a comprehensive understanding of microbial diversity in a system.

Treatment of Escherichia coli contaminated water with different pulse-powered NTP configurations and analysis for post treatment efficacy.

A cost-effective and energy efficient method for water sterilization is a challenging demand in the present scenario where scarcity of pure water is rising. Non-Thermal Plasma (NTP) finds promising applications in environmental processes and has advantages over conventional water treatment methods. Escherichia coli contaminated water treatment using multiple pin plasma reactor and atmospheric pressure plasma jet reactor was undertaken in this work.

Identification of Alzheimer associated differentially expressed gene through microarray data and transfer learning-based image analysis.

Major factors contribute to mental stress and enhance the progression of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). The factors that lead to neurodegeneration, such as tau protein hyperphosphorylation and increased amyloid-beta production, can be mimicked in animal stress models. The present study identifies differentially expressed genes (DEGs) data and its corresponding predictive image analysis in rat models.

Mechanism of streptomyces albidoflavus STV1572a derived 1-heneicosanol as an inhibitor against squalene epoxidase of Trichophyton mentagrophytes.

An increase in incidences of tinea infections paves the way to discover the novel antifungal drugs from unexplored natural resources. The quality of life in patients with tinea infection may be affected by different factors, including morbidity, length of illness, social and demographic factors. The present investigation explores the functional principle of a bioactive compound isolated from actinomycetes, S.
