The work aimed at determining the effects of applying different blends between liquid molasses and agricultural limestone on water quality growth performance Nile tilapia juveniles, Oreochromis niloticus. study employed 24 indoor tanks 100 L outdoor 250 L. Four control groups were set up (no product applied, only molasses, limestone, molasses-limestone blend with 48% but no fish) two experiment...

Conductivity-based vacuum pan controllers dominate the Australian sugar industry. A new scheme, based on Brix control of the massecuite and mother molasses is proposed. Multi-loop control of the process is demonstrated, whereby the massecuite Brix is controlled by manipulating the liquor/A molasses feed rate to the pan and the mother molasses Brix is controlled by manipulating the steam flow ra...

Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) has been conducting the development of a Cesium atomic fountain primary frequency standard. Cs atoms are collected in a MOT and in optical molasses. They are further cooled to 2μK by PGC, and launched to a height of 30cm above the microwave cavity by moving molasses method. The launched atoms interact with the microwave twice, going upward and downward, ...

A total of 278 different isolates of filamentous fungi were screened using synthetic medium for respective ability to produce kojic acid. Nineteen, six, and five isolates proved to be low, moderate, and high kojic acid producers, respectively. Levels of kojic acid produced were generally increased when shaking cultivation was used rather than those obtained using static cultivation. A trial for...

Returned dairy products which are transferred to landfills might add to the environmental pollution. Such products have a high nutritional value for ruminants, but they should be stabilized to enable their use as cattle feed. The purpose of the current study was to examine stabilization of returned dairy products by ensiling in combinations with straw and molasses for animal feeding. Treatments...

The compositions of the various organic and inorganic species in cane molasses show wide variations. Centrifugation can be used to remove suspended so!id particles. The bulk of these are precipitated calcium compounds. Removal of calcium by precipitation and subsequent centrifugation can be enhanced by the addition of sulphuric acid. The effects of dilution, temperature, and acid addition on th...

Between June 1999 and August 2000, the effects of feeding medicated urea-molasses supplement blocks on the growth of dairy heifers in a marginal area of central Kenya were assessed by comparing the live-weight gain of supplemented and unsupplemented heifers grazing the same pasture. Thirty-nine heifers with an average age of 9.6 months were initially treated orally with albendazole (10 mg/kg bo...

This work aims at optimizing the high cell density fungal cultivation for producing large quantities of fungal biomass to be used in azo dye residues bioremediation. In our previous studies the efficacy of using certain fungal strains to decolorize a range of commercial textile dyes of different structures (azo, disazo) were investigated. Several promising fungal strains belonging to Aspergillu...

A statistical model was developed in this study to describe bioethanol production through a batch fermentation process of sugarcane molasses by locally isolated Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y-39. Response surface methodology RSM based on central composite face centered design CCFD was employed to statistically evaluate and optimize the conditions for maximum bioethanol production and study the sign...
