Photodynamic therapy represents an alternative treatment with great potential in some types of cancer and premalignant conditions. In the quest to improve this therapy, potential new non-tetrapyrrole photosensitizers are currently under research. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the administration of a photosensitizing agent (also known as a photosensitizer, PS), which is further activated by external irradiation with light. This therapy results in a sequence of photochemical and photo-biological processes that trigger irreversible damage to the irradiated tissues. Photodynamic therapy has emerged as an alternative to chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer treatment. Nanoparticles have recently been proposed as effective carriers for photosensitizers. Depending on their chemical composition, ...

It considers the likely changes that climate change will bring in temperature, precipitation and extreme rainfall, drought, flooding, storms, sea-level rise and environmental health risks and the overall impact on agriculture. The agricultural sector is the major source of employment in India. Climate change has adverse impacts on agriculture, hydropower, forest management and biodiversity. Anticipated impacts on agriculture from climate change and its various aspects have been studied.

Research paper thumbnail of Fly ash from thermal power plants - waste management and overview

COAL-based thermal power plants have been a major source of power generation in India, where 75% ... more COAL-based thermal power plants have been a major source of power generation in India, where 75% of the total power obtained is from coal-based thermal power plants. The coal reserve of India is about 200 billion tonnes (bt) and its annual production reaches 250 million tonnes (mt) approximately. About 70% of this is used in the power sector. In India, unlike in most of the developed countries, ash content in the coal used for power generation is 30–40%. High ash coal means more wear and tear of the plant and machinery, low thermal efficiency of the boiler, slogging, choking and scaling of the furnace and most serious of them all, generation of a large amount of fly ash. India ranks fourth in the world in the production of coal ash as by-product waste after USSR, USA and China, in that order. Fly ash is defined in Cement and Concrete Terminology (ACI Committee 116) as the ‘finely divided residue resulting from the combustion of ground or powdered coal, which is transported from the ...

Better management of waste water, so that it is not discharged untreated into nature and ends up polluting water sources, would mean that we could reuse the treated water for industry, agriculture and even domestic use .Today many water sources are polluted and others are under serious strain. Inefficiencies and water losses in urban water utility systems mean no Indian city yet supplies water 24x7 hours to its citizens. Factors such as population increase and especially urbanization mean that the world is forecast to use about 30% more water in 2025 than it did in 2000, with further water shortages expected. The present investigation is aimed at assessing the current water quality standard...

The lowest region, the troposphere extends from the surface of Earth up to about 10 kilometers in altitude. Atmospheric air belongs to this region and all human activities occur in this region. Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on the planet Earth, is only about 9 km high. The next layer, the stratosphere, continues from 10 km to about 50 km. Most commercial airline traffic occurs in the lower part of the stratosphere. Most atmospheric ozone is concentrated within the stratosphere, about 15-30 km above the Earth's surface. Ozone is a molecule containing three oxygen atoms which is blue in colour and has a strong odour. Ozone is considered as helpful in the stratosphere and harmful substance in the troposphere. The ozone layer absorbs a portion of the radiation (UVB) from the sun, preventing it from reaching the surface of Earth. UVB is very harmful which can cause skin cancer, cataracts, genetic disorder, crop ...

Research paper thumbnail of Biodiesel Production from Simarouba glauca oil using CaO and KOH catalysts: A Comparative Study

International Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research

A maximum conversion was achieved using a 1:6 molar ratio of oil to methanol at 650C i.e. 92% (oil to methyl ester). Otherwise addition of 8% Solid base catalyst CaO using 1:6 molar ratio of oil to methanol at 650C was also used as catalyst for this transesterification and conversion exceeds 95%. Important fuel properties of methyl esters of Simarouba oil (Biodiesel) was compared with ASTM and DIN EN 14214. The viscosity was found to be 4.68 Cst at 400C and the flashpoint was 1650C.

Research paper thumbnail of Studies on Ultrasonic velocity, conductance, density and viscosity of Lanthanum (III) Chloride in the Dextrose – water mixed solvent system

The ultrasonic velocity data have been used to evaluate various acoustic parameters such as isoentropic compressibility, inter-molecular free length, acoustic impedance, molar sound velocity and molar compressibility. These parameters, along with the B-coefficient calculated from the Jones-Dole equation have been used to study solute-solvent interactions in these systems. Viscometric data, along with conductometric measurements, provide a more complete analysis of the ion-solvent interaction.
