2.1.2. Alkaline hydrolysis Alkaline hydrolysis is a simple process in which the protein is solubilized by heating followed by the addition of calcium, sodium or potassium hydroxide as alkaline agents and maintaining the temperature at a range between 25-55 °C (Pasupuleti & Braun, 2010). During alkaline hydrolysis of proteins, some amino acids like serine and threonine are damaged during alkaline hydrolysis, however, tryptophan remains intact. Also, this process causes racemization of amino acids…
Nowadays, we buy lots of products and things and most of those products we buy might have negative impacts on us humans, the environment and animals. Many of these products enter our homes and the one that is frequently used are cleaning products. Cleaning products mainly consist of toxic chemicals that can have a great impact on our health and the environment. Why would you risk your health? Cleanliness is an important thing and we all want our homes to be clean and free of germs, but what…
The zeolite XRD analysis result showed that it is 100% Clinoptilolite ─ Ca with the chemical formula Si29.04Al6.96O96.40Na1.92Ca1.57Ba0.32K0.56Mg0.72. Particle size distribution and Zeta potential for minerals have been carried out using Zeta sizer nano series (Nano ZS), Malvern, UK - Size range (nm):0.6:6000 nm and Zeta potential range (mV): (-200:200 mV) and analysis results are presented in Table 3. They The minerals were applied before planting in two separate rates ≈ 595.24 and 1190.48 5…
One of the parameters that determines water quality is pH. It is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion and is intended to be a measurement of the balance of acids and bases. Temperature affects pH. In pure water, a decrease in pH of 0.45 occurs when temperature is increased by 25°C [11]. There are several methods for measuring pH. The most common is the use of a glass electrode sensible to it, a reference electrode and a measurement device. Another method is the use of…
The polyurethane segments show high intersegment attraction such as hydrogen bonding and may be able to crystallize and form hard segments. In such polymers hard segments with Tg well above normal ambient temperature are separated by polyol soft segments, which in the mass are rubbery in nature. Hard and soft segments are arranged alternate along the polymer chain. Fig.7. Polyurethane chain configuration [32] 4.2.2. Polyurethane properties and advantages for product development…
The first HEPA filter was developed in 1940 through the military forces for it to be used in the Manhattan Project. The primary concern then was to be safe from the nuclear material that was freely floating in the air. In the modern times HEPA air purifiers are used all over the world to pollen, dust, mould, certain forms of bacteria and other particles that are air-borne. The HEPA Air purifier by far has been the best type useable since it is very efficient. The most advantageous aspect of this…
In the book A Long Walk To Water by Linda Sue Park, the characters, Nya and Salva, share multitudes of analogies and distinctions. Salva's story takes place in 1985, during wartime, where boys were being recruited to serve for a side in the war. Nya's story takes place in 2008, after the war, but there are still cultural dilemmas. In both stories, culture, time, and place affect their future, who characters turn out to be and their survival. Culture is the beliefs of a certain group of people.…
It also binds oxygen and deposits it to the different tissues and organs in the body and takes away carbon dioxide from those organs and delivers them to the lungs to be expelled from the body. White blood cells only compose a small portion of the blood but still play…
Zinc is the member of the first row transition series of elements, consisting of Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Hg. All these elements belong to group 12 of periodic table. Zinc has an atomic number 30, an atomic mass of 65 and one main oxidation state (+2). Zinc has five nature isotopes . Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in the earth’s crust. Its properties is very similar to Cd.Zinc is very useful in biological systems. Zinc also is involved in many biochemical processes that…
For my investigation of Anime and the environment, I analyzed segments from the film Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind. Early on in the film, viewers see the main character, Nausicaä, for the first time wearing a breathing apparatus, gloves, and a full body outfit as she travels through a jungle. Her outfit brought to mind the Nuclear/Biological/Chemical (NBC) suits that persons wear while handling hazardous material. As the film continues, Nausicaä exercises extreme caution while she handles…
