 Abstract

Climate affects presence and manageability of farming as it relies on the utilization of characteristic assets without a doubt, horticulture has a more noteworthy natural effect on Earth than some other single human action. Ordinary agrarian cultivating practices won't give the food and fiber required by expanding populace later on As a rule, the inquiry emerges, would we be able to create and receive the horticulture cultivating rehearses that can deliver the food expected to take care of an expanding populace and all the while continue our current circumstance on long haul premise.

 Abstract

Schiff bases 16-membered hexaazamacrocyclic complexes [M(L)Cl2] where M = Cu(II) and Ni(II) have been synthesized by the reaction between 1,3-diaminopropane, formaldehyde and isoniazid in the presence of metal ions in methanol medium at room temperature. The formation of ligand (L) and the proposed macrocyclic complexes have been confirmed by IR, electronic spectral data, EPR, TGA and conductance measurements. The electrical conductivities of both chelates indicated them to be non-electrolytes in DMF. The EPR spectrum of the copper complex exhibited G at 2.828 which indicated a considerable exchange interaction in the complex. Spectroscopic evidence suggests that in both the complexes the metal ion is in octahedral environment.

 Abstract

China is a country with a long history covering many centuries, during which her culture evolved a distinctive form of its own. The Chinese were extremely proud of their cultural attainments and this influenced China's relation with the outside world. The Chinese called their country Tien Hua "under the heaven" and Cheng Kuo, "Middle kingdom". They looked down on all foreigners and regarded them as barbarian. During the Manchu rule the Celestial Empire was opened to the foreigners. This was an embarrassing confrontation. The old civilization of China was confronted with the new Western civilization. The Chinese imagine that the middle kingdom would provide a beacon of light to the west. But China failed to meet the new challenge of the accident. Once the foreigners came they created problem both for the rulers and the ruled. The foreigners not only drained away Chinese wealth, but also ruined Chinese economy. They made was which brought humiliation to China, as well they also made China pay for war. The foreign missionary provided a major cause for the anti-foreign sentiment. The missionary condemned everything that was China. On the otherhand the Chinese continued to cling to their old beliefs and faith. They considered the missionary as the advance guard of western imperialism. The "cutting of the Chinese melon" made the Chinese bitterly resent the presence of the foreigner in China, violent anti-foreign outbreak started in China since the early part of 20th century. The Boxer movement was certainly a national and patriotic outburst. But the Boxer protocol provided for the punishment of the Boxers and payment indemnity to the foreigners. A Decade of Transition The victory of a dwarf (Japan) over a giant (Russia) thrilled temple peoples of Asia and it had an impact in China. Immediately a new constitution was made for China on the Japanese model. In spite of this the forces of revolution were gathering strength. The young Chinese, armed with Japanese diplomas returned home, hoping to get job, but they were frustrated. Naturally they turned against the establishment, and became revolutionary. Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen, father of the Chinese republic drew the attention of these students who had to suffer the nightmare of unemployment. The revolt spread quickly throughout the southern part of China, whereas the north remained loyal to the imperial government on January 1, 1912, the Nanking assembly Dr. Sun as the president of the new republic.On the other hand, the imperial government Made Yuan-Shi-Kai as the viceroy of Hukuang province. The Republicans under Dr. Sun demanded end of monarchy and Yuan was offered president ship, and Yuan agreed to their conditions.

 Abstract

Ultrafiltration membranes are largely applied for macromolecular and heavy metal ion separations from aqueous streams. Cellulose acetate and Polycarbonate membrane prepared in the presence of the polymeric additive, such as polyethylene glycol of various molecular weights such 200, 400 and 600 were subjected to the rejection of macromolecular proteins such as bovine serum albumin, and pepsin. Toxic heavy metal ions such as Ni2+ and Cd2+ were subjected to rejection by the blend membranes by complexing them with a polymeric ligand, polyethyleneimine. The effect of additives on the rejection and permeate flux of both proteins and metal ions are discussed.

 Abstract

In the last century, an unmanageable increase in population placed a tremendous burden on natural resources. There is not enough food for the world?s hungry. Also, the earth itself is worn out due to excessive farming, use of chemicals and pesticides and excessive use of ground water. Water resources are badly polluted and emission of toxic fumes from industry and vehicles has deprived us of clean air. Industrialisation and a growing consumer economy have led to the creation of huge megapolises with their problems of indisposed garbage and uncontrolled sewage. The greed of many in the governing bodies has led to misuse of the laws and ruthless exploitation of the land, leading to ecological destruction and social injustices. Most leaders of industry, too, have been lacking in a social conscience. They have exploited our country?s resources and polluted our earth, water and air. So, how to eradicate all these problems is the major concern in enhancing the issues which is the ultimate for the mankind for sustaining in this world. Hence India should play a vital role on sustainable development through various phases? that leads the nation a self-sufficient in all aspects.

 Abstract

With increasing industrial development, safe disposal of industrial effluent has become the more ecological challenge. Finding suitable eco-friendly techniques for the potential utilization of these released effluents as a source of nutrients becomes essential. The present investigation was carried out to screen the effect of different stages of dairy effluent on the germination index of Vigna radiata, Oryza sativa, Vigna mungo, Sesamum indicum and Arachis hypogea. The findings revealed a remarkable effect in germination index with primary treated dairy effluent when compared with the other stages of the dairy effluent in all the plant species except Arachis hypogea. Further work was carried out to study the effective and suitable concentrations (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) of dairy effluent in promoting germination index, growth and biomass of different plant species. Biochemical parameters such as chlorophyll and protein were estimated. Chloride and sulphate content of the seedlings were also analyzed. The dairy effluent showed a favourable enhancement on the growth and biochemical parameters at low concentration (25%). It was observed that with an increase in effluent concentration there was a corresponding decrease in seedling growth and biomass. Microflora of the dairy effluents were isolated and characterized to study the frequent distribution of bacterial and fungal isolate which would support the degradation of organic and inorganic nutrients thereby influencing its growth and on the growth of the plant.

 Abstract

The present work was made to study the phytoaccumulation of cadmium polluted soil using zinnia plants. Plants response to very high concentration of toxic heavy metals by employing two basis strategies. (I) Exclusion, accumulating and sequestration of metals. In the exclusion strategy, plants maintain metals at relatively low concentrations within plants by avoiding excessive metal uptake and Transport. (II) In second strategy plants have an extremely high capacity to take up metals by roots and translocation and store them in the shoot and leaves. The zinnia plants with high metal uptake and accumulating capacity have been termed hyper accumulator species. The plants test the heavy metal accumulation ability of zinnia. Cadmium was given to zinnia (Zinnia elegans L,) plants grown in pot culture experiments by soil drenching method. The accumulation and uptake of cadmium was tested from root, stem and leaves of treated plants. The results showed higher concentration of cadmium (150, mg kg-1 soil) resulted in maximum accumulation in root, stem and leaves of zinnia plants, while the lower concentrations of cadmium (10 mg kg-1 soil) in the soil did not show any significant effect.
