Abstract: Basic chromium sulfate is the most widely used chemical for tanning processes, but 60-70% of total chromium salt reacts with the hides. Rest of the amount about 30-40% of the chromium remains in the liquid wastes. Therefore, the recovery and reuse of the chromium content of these wastewaters are necessary for environmental protection and economic reasons. Removal of chromium was carried out by using precipitation process. Maximum precipitation of chromium was obtained from a mixture of chrome and lime liquor in the ration of 1:1(v/v) and the pH of the solution became 7.5-8.5. Precipitation of chromic hydroxide converted into basic chromium sulfate by treating sulfuric acid.........

Abstract: The Small Industrial Environment (SIE) of leather in Magetan Regency is a center of leather tanning that aims to meet market needs for the leather. However, the process of leather tanning production causes various environmental problems, especially on water quality. Water quality issues affect the lives around them, hence the water must be processed at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). This research aims to examine the quality of wastewater as the impact from SIE of leather in Magetan Regency with the level parameters of biological oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), oil and fat, chromium (Cr), total suspended solid (TSS), and total ammonia (NH3-N). This was a quantitative research and the water quality data were taken through random sampling.............

Abstract: Morphometric analysis of the River Kilange catchment was carried out using Geographic Information System (GIS) technique. Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data at 30m resolution were used for preparing Digital Elevation Model –DEM in ArcGIS 10.0 software. The map of the study area was projected to Universal Transverse Mercator-UTM to enable the processing of basic drainage parameters like stream length, drainage area and perimeter in the attribute tables. The River Kilange catchment is a seventh order catchment with a dendritic drainage pattern. The total number of streams of all orders is (3273) with the first order streams constituting up to 76.26%. Total length of streams of all orders in the study catchment was calculated as (4864.16) kilometres.....

Abstract: This paper reports on a study that was undertaken to assess consumer awareness, and consumption of mead. The study was conducted and a survey questionnaire about the alcohol consumption habits, awareness & acceptance of mead was taken up by 101 young adults residing in India and some abroad. Results were evaluated and interpretation of the same was carried out with the aid of diagrammatic representation. This study brings light to the consumer awareness of mead, wine made after fermenting honey.

Abstract: In many ant species, nuptial flight tends to be short in time and assumed to be synchronous across a large area. Here, we report that, massive nuptial flights of Carpenter ants (Camponotus sp.) occur frequently throughout the summer and beginning the monsoon, and their alates form up to 90% of the diet of the birds during this period. This fat and protein-rich diet enables both sexes accumulate may serve as an energy source and feed for juvenile and nestlings for their growth. The annual nuptial flight period enable them to exploit the extremely nutritious forms of ant alates when the juvenile and nestlings' energetic demands are highest.

Abstract: Dried fruits are susceptible products for microbial growth and consequent toxin production. In this study, fruits (figs, apricots, raisins and plumes) were dried and exposed to further microwave treatment (30, 60, 90 and 120 seconds) then determined and compared the incidence of microbial and mycotoxin quality to select non-compliant samples. Standard and established methods were used for both microbial and mycotoxins analysis, in home-made and commercial samples. The results indicated that all of the commercial samples were contaminated with aerobic mesophilic bacteria, moulds and yeasts count as well as spore-forming bacteria. They were (4.4±1.8)x102~(9.6±6.3)x103, (4.7±2.4)x103~(6.3±2.3)x104 and (2.5±0.84)x102~(7.8±2.8)x102 cfu/g, respectively. Pathogines such as Bacillus cereus,..........

Abstract: This review shows the importance of Bioadsorption as an alternative of low cost, easy elaboration and application and mainly environmentally friendly (adsorbents of organic sources) for the removal of metallic elements in effluents Miner-Metallurgical. Mining makes it possible to obtain important economic currencies; however, following the development of its activities, many of the environmental legacies are seen in large waste and effluent installations with heavy metal presence. This strong impact caused to the water resource needs techniques to remedy and the existing technologies for it as precipitation, reverse osmosis, precipitation, among others are not feasible because they present excessive costs, generate sub products as part of their treatment and demand a lot of energy. Therefore...........

Abstract: study has been conducted to evaluate physico –chemical parameters, heavy metal content and microbiological quality of jar water collected from Chittagong Metropolitan city,Bangladesh. Total twenty one(21) samples were collected from seven different densely populated areas under Chittagong Metropolitan city. Physico-chemical concentration of all the tested jar water were found in the permissible limits. In context with heavy metal only chromium concentration exceeded the permissible limits in few samples but other heavy metals concentration were within tolerable limits. More than 76% of the collected samples were found contaminated with pathogenic organisms which is a serious concern for the inhabitants of Chittagong Metropolitan city. The current finding will convey a strong message for the local authority and policy maker to take necessary steps in order to ensure safe water supply for mass people.
