Five potential additives, three zeolites and two silicates, have been studied for reducing the amount of compounds generated when smoking Heet tobacco. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry experiments (Py-GC/MS) show that this type tobacco generates large amounts nicotine glycerol such as phenol, acetaldehyde, acetone formaldehyde are classified harmful components potentially (HPHC). ...

Nitrate from the application of nitrogen-based fertilizers in intensive agriculture is a notorious waste product, though it lacks cost-effective solutions for its removal potential drinking water resources. Catalytic reduction appears to be promising technique converting nitrates benign nitrogen gas. Mesoporous silica SBA-15 frequently used catalyst support that has large surface areas and high...

A survey study aimed at identifying rates and predictive factors on utilization of skilled birth attendant (SBA) among pregnant women. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 200 Myanmar women aged 18 to 49 years in Kalay Township. Data were collected by interview questionnaire from March 1 to 15, 2012, and data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviati...

Catalyst is the key for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin derivatives to produce alkyl aromatics and cycloalkanes, components 100% sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). Mono bi-functional catalysts nickel (Ni) heterophosphotungstic acid (HPW) supported on SBA-15 carbons were prepared, characterized evaluated HDO derived trans-anethole. The structure was intact but its surface area pore volume decr...
