A review on biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) production from fermentative food waste - Its applications and degradation.

Due to its low carbon footprint and environmental friendliness, polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most widely produced bioplastics in the world. Manufacturing attempts to partially replace petrochemical plastics with PLA are growing year over year. Although this polymer is typically used in high-end applications, its use will increase only if it can be produced at the lowest cost.

A crucial review on polycyclic aromatic Hydrocarbons - Environmental occurrence and strategies for microbial degradation.

Over the last century, contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has risen tremendously due to the intensified industrial activities like petrochemical, pharmaceutical, insecticides and fertilizers applications. PAHs are a group of organic pollutants with adverse effects on both humans and the environment. These PAHs are widely distributed in various ecosystems including air, soil, marine water and sediments.

A critical review on different harvesting techniques for algal based biodiesel production.

The fuels retrieved from renewable sources which are usually employed as both carbon and energy sources are termed as neutral based biofuels. The most promising feedstock from renewable sources with great potentiality in contributing to the inclining energy demand is microalgae. These microalgae can be harnessed readily in terms of obtaining qualitative biodiesel with greater energy consumption under limited operational cost.

Comparison of integrated sustainable biodiesel and antibacterial nano silver production by microalgal and yeast isolates.

Microalgal isolates (Chlorella sp. and Spirulina sp.) and yeast isolates (Candida albicans and Saccharomyces sp.

A new thresholding technique based on fuzzy set as an application to leukocyte nucleus segmentation.

Background And Objectives: The main aim of this paper is to segment leukocytes in blood smear images using interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs). Generally, uncertainties occur in terms of vagueness through brightness levels of image. Processing of such uncertain images can be efficiently handled by using fuzzy sets, particularly IVIFSs.
