Rice chaff (Variety: Devamallige) is used as the substrate for the production of fibrinolytic enzyme by Penicilliumchrysogenum AGSF16 in solid state fermentation. The optimized moisture content of the medium is 35-45 %( v/w) an inoculumof 5-10% (v/v) and an average particle size of 400μm of the substrate were optimum for productivity and enzyme activity of 65-70 IU per ml filtrate was achieved ...

With the flood of data produced by today’s information systems, something must be done to allow business decision-makers to extract the information the data contains. The recent advances in visualization technologies provide the capability to begin to use human visual/spatial abilities to solve the abstract problems found in business. If business problems can be visualized with an appropriate r...

The pH and buffer capacity of two soils increased or remained constant after incubation with different amounts of plant material (lucerne chaff) at field capacity and when air dry. For both soils, the pH changes were greater at field capacity, whereas the buffer capacities were independent of the water treatments. The pH changes observed could be explained in terms of the organic anion concentr...

Adsorption is one of the most effective ways removing heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Pb etc from media. This research work investigated adsorption efficiency Calliandra surinamensis pod chaff (Powder Puff flower) for removal their aqueous solutions using its absorbent. C. was activated ZnCl2 solution in water. The carbon obtained characterized terms functional groups present FTIR which gave infra...

When ontological knowledge is acquired automatically, quality control is essential. We consider the tightest possible approach – an exhaustive manual inspection of the acquired data. By using automated reasoning, we partially automate the process: after each expert decision, axioms that are entailed by the already approved statements are automatically approved, whereas axioms that would lead to...

Job applicants frequently lie or cover up important information. In fact, 40% of the résumés received by companies contain inaccuracies. The result of this chicanery is that companies often end up choosing the wrong professionals, which has damaging consequences. Luckily, human resources professionals have numerous ways to prevent poor hiring decisions from being made, thus sparing themselves f...
