Volatile components of coconut fresh sap, sap syrup and coconut sugar were analyzed using GC-MS and identified by matching the mass spectra obtained with those present in the “NIST62 LIB” Library. The most abundant volatile components in the fresh sap, sap syrup and coconut sugar were 2-butanol and acetic acid. Twelve volatile components were identified and there were different amounts of volat...

A new transistor architecture is developed by reusing already existing fabrication process bricks in an embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) sub-40 nm CMOS technology, resulting a middle-voltage zero-cost transistor, ideal for low-cost products. TCAD simulations are undertaken to confirm the feasibility of optimization and predict performance reliability. The fabricated then electrically charact...

Kinetic and mechanistic data relevant to the tropospheric degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOC), and the production of secondary pollutants, have previously been used to define a protocol which underpinned the construction of a near-explicit Master Chemical Mechanism. In this paper, an update to the previous protocol is presented, which has been used to define degradation schemes for ...

In this research, zeolite-TiO2 nanocomposite was prepared for degradation of dibenzothiophene as a typical aromatic organosulfur compound of transportation fuels.The synthesized TiO2 was immobilized on the surface of clinoptilolite by Solid State Dispersion (SSD) method. The nanocomposite was then characterized by XRD, FTIR, TEM and SEM techniques. Photodegradation of ...

When wood is exposed to elevated temperatures, changes can occur in its chemical structure that affect its performance. The extent of the changes depends on the temperature level and the length of time under exposure conditions. The changes in chemical structure may be manifested only as reduced strength, and hydroscopic water and volatile oil weight loss. In contrast, very drastic chemical cha...
