The application of conventional cutting fluids in machining operations is harmful and not eco-friendly. In this context, the present work focuses on environmental friendly cutting fluids such as vegetable oil based cutting fluids (VBCFs). The objective of this work is to determine the influence of vegetable oil based cutting fluids (sesame and coconut oil) with extreme pressure (EP) additive on...

A process of conversion of solid carbonaceous fuel into combustible gas by partial combustion is known as gasification. The resulting gas, known as producer gas, is more versatile in its use than the original solid biomass. In the present study, a downdraft biomass gasifier is used to carry out the gasification experiments with the waste generated while making furniture in the carpentry section...

Derivatives from plant processing are generally classified as industrial waste. Despite their biological properties, they mostly recycled or used in the production of animal feed. Given rapid growth world's population and increased interest consumers foods, it is advisable to use by-products nutritional supplements with certain functional properties. The purpose study substantiate possibility u...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed and oil have long been used widely as healthy foods to supply energy and prevent aging. Some of the main active anti-oxidative constituents in sesame seeds are γ-tocopherol and phenols. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between roasting temperature and time with γ-tocopherol and total phenolic compounds (TPC) of sesame seeds when roas...

To the Editor: Although there is unanimous agreement that epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, many with food allergy have not been prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector (EAI). As part of our nationwide Canadian study on the prevalence of food allergy, households from the 10 Canadian provinces were randomly selected from the electronic white pages and were telephoned betwe...

Mungbean is the most important crop in arid Rajasthan. Improving productivity by improving soil fertility essential for farmers' economic viability. The effect of sulphur graded doses on yield attributes mungbean grown as (mungbean + sesame) intercropping was studied field. For these four levels, viz., 0, 15, 30, and 45 kg ha-1 five systems, sole sesame, sesame 2:1, 3:1, 4:1. Harvest index, MEY...

purpose : to evaluate the effects of topical sesame oil in the treatment of severe corneal alkali injury in rabbits methods : in a double-blind experiment, 30 healthy white rabbits were randomized into a sesame oil treatment group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). under general anesthesia, severe corneal alkali injuries were induced by application of 1 n sodium hydroxide for 40 seconds to the ...

in order to investigate the effect of crop row spacing and cocklebur (xanthium strumarium) densities on height, leaf area index and total dry matter of two sesame cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in 2009-2010 growing season at research farm of university of agricultural sciences and natural resources of gorgan, iran. the experiment was established as factorial arrangement using a ran...

response surface models predict crop yield based on crop density and this is an important tool for evaluation competition at different density and hence selection of optimum density based on yield. in order to study intra and inter specific competition in intercropping bean (phaseolus vulgaris) and sesame (sesamum indicum), an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdo...
