EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE LIPID CONTENT IN Nannochloropsis oculata, Dunaliella salina AND Isochyrsis galbana FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION
نویسنده
چکیده
Microalgae, an autotrophic organism has been established as a potential source for biodiesel production. Suitable candidates from marine origin have been selected as viz., Nannochloropsis oculata, Dunaliella salina, and Isochrysis galbana. The microalgae were grown in controlled conditions and an assessment of their growth rate and lipid productivity were made. To analyze the effect of temperature on the growth of different microalga, temperature stress was induced. Biochemical changes in the culture and changes in fatty acid profiles of the culture before and after temperature stress are reported. Temperature stress increased lipid productivity in microalgae. The lipid obtained from microalgae were converted to biodiesel by chemical transesterification. Also the biodiesel thus obtained was mixed with commercial diesel to produce biodiesel blend in different ratios. The biodiesel properties of Biodiesel 20, Biodiesel 50 and Biodiesel 100 (pure biodiesel), were comparable to that of commercial diesel.

Gains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
متن کاملImproved immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid by Brucella abortus S19 LPS adjuvant.
BACKGROUND Adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. Despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. Brucella abortus LPS is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to LPS from other gram negati...

A rigorous microscale electrokinetic model for hydrogel-colloid composites is adopted to compute macroscale profiles of electrolyte concentration, electrostatic potential, and hydrostatic pressure across membranes that separate electrolytes with different concentrations. The membranes are uncharged polymeric hydrogels in which charged spherical colloidal particles are immobilized and randomly d...
متن کاملPerturbative Analysis of Dynamical Localisation
In this paper we extend previous results on convergent perturbative solutions of the Schrödinger equation of a class of periodically timedependent two-level systems. The situation treated here is particularly suited for the investigation of two-level systems exhibiting the phenomenon of (approximate) dynamical localisation. We also present a convergent perturbative expansion for the secular fre...
متن کاملCollinear contextual suppression
The context of a target can modulate behavioral as well as neural responses to that target. For example, target processing can be suppressed by iso-oriented surrounds whereas it can be facilitated by collinear contextual elements. Here, we present experiments in which collinear elements exert strong suppression whereas iso-oriented contextual surrounds yield no contextual modulation--contrary t...
