Synthesis of Oxygenated Fuel Additives via Acetylation of Bio-Glycerol over H2SO4 Modified Montmorillonite K10 Catalyst by Kakasaheb Y Nandiwale, Prashant S Niphadkar and Vijay V Bokade* in Progress in Petrochemical Science Growing global biodiesel production demands valorization of bio-glycerol derived from biodiesel, which is crucial to make bio refinery process economical. Hence, a series of H 2 SO 4 modified sulfonated Montmorillonite K10 catalysts were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for acetylation of bio- glycerol with acetic acid to produce mono acetin (MAG), di acetin (DAG), tri acetin (TAG) and di-glycerol tri-acetate (DGTA), which are the oxygenated fuel additives and facilitate the economic viability of biodiesel production so the bio refinery. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by compressive suite of characterization techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), low temperature N 2 physisorption, temperature programmed ammonia desorptio...

Biomarker-Guided Nutritional Intervention to Treat Autism by Afaf K El-Ansary* in Novel Techniques in Nutrition and Food Science Autism as a neuro developmental chronic disorder with dramatic increasing prevalence is a great burden on patients and families. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has never approved a drug as useful in autism, and claims, that nutritional supplements are “unproven” and those parents who use these supplements for their autistic children are the victims of “marketers”. I am writing to discuss with you and with the NTNF readers that understanding the etiological mechanisms in autism and recording multiple biomarkers related to these etiologies can be used as target for nutritional intervention strategies . https://crimsonpublishers.com/ntnf/fulltext/NTNF.000501.php For more articles in NTNF, follow the URL: https://crimsonpublishers.com/ntnf/ For more articles in Crimson Publishers, follow the URL: https://crimsonpublishers.com/

Enhancement of Conventional Glass-Ionomer Cement by Nanozirconia- Hydroxyapatite-Silica by Wan Zaripah Wan Bakar* in Modern Research in Dentistry Since decades ago improvement of materials is always the aims of researchers to fulfill needs in many areas such as engineering, biomedical and also dentistry . Glass-ionomer-cement (GIC) is one of the most commonly used materials in dentistry where it is highly used as restoration in deciduous teeth and as lining material or temporary restoration for adult. The conventional GIC (cGIC) was introduced in 1972 [1] which is an acid-base material and the latter type is with addition of HEMA that is cured by light, called resin modified GIC. Conventional GIC is well liked due to its properties including anticariogenic, good adhesion to tooth structure , biocompatible, ability to release and reservoir fluoride and easy to handle [2]. Despite, it is limited by weaknesses such as low hardness, easily worn down and too opaque. Due to this l...

Organics for Sustainable Food Security by Vijay Bhosekar* in Modern Concepts & Developments in Agronomy Global population trajectories are exceeding prior projections, and now we must prepare for populations between 9.8 and 10.3 billion people by 2100 (4). In this scenario, United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has strongly advocated strategic programs for sustainable diets , which take a holistic approach to addressing dietary patterns that are presently unsustainable (5). To address the complexities and challenges in the agriculture and food systems, it's imperative we strongly focus on Sustainable/ Organic Food Systems approaches, which Rodale Institute is dedicated making strides in this direction for more than 60 years. https://crimsonpublishers.com/mcda/fulltext/MCDA.000502.php    For more articles in MCDA, follow the URL: https://crimsonpublishers.com/mcda/ For more articles in Crimson Publishers, follow the URL: https://crimsonpub...

Evaluation of the Antioxidant Activities of Organic Extracts from Ammodaucus leucotrichus Coss & Dur Fruit Part Harvested from the Algerian Sahara by Imad Abdelhamid El Haci* in Advances in Complementary & Alternative Medicine Aromatic and medicinal plants are a good source of natural preparations containing effective bioactive compounds which can be used for different applications. This work aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity of some organic extracts of Ammodaucus leucotrichus Coss & Dur fruit part. The whole plant was collected from the region of Beni Abbas (Bechar-Algeria). Five organic extracts were obtained and the evaluation of the antioxidant activity was performed by six conventional methods. Polar organic extracts exhibited more antioxidant power then non polar extracts. The level of phenolic compounds was moderate in all extracts. The investigation of the antioxidant activity of organic extracts from fruit part of Ammodaucus leucotrichus revealed ...
