RESULT Microbial community analysis Table 1 illustrates the phylogenetic affiliation and the similarity of the bands marked in Fig. 4a which shows the bacterial DGGE fingerprint obtained when ferrous sulfate was used as the energy source (batch-1). Initial sludge had 18 dominant bands out of which 7 bands were not detected on the 2nd day (Fig. 4a) due to changes in the physical condition of the sludge such as aeration and the pH decrease. Dynamics in the microbial community profiling was studied

change. Hydrogen fuel is that change for the automobiles of the future. Hydrogen has been used for decades‚ but mostly for commercial use. Each year‚ we get closer to removing the oil company’s choke hold on our wallets. It’s time to drive with a lighter purse and a cleaner environment and it’s time for hydrogen fuel. The two largest points of debate with hydrogen fuel are cost and production Hydrogen fuel is a cheaper alternative to our current source of automobile fuel used today. To make

Fuel cells have become a favorable future power source because they can convert chemical energy directly into electricity in a highly efficient‚ environmentally friendly manner. Although fuel cells were invented one and a half centuries ago‚ only recently has it become feasible for them to compete with existing energy production systems. Among the various types of fuel cells‚ proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells promise to become a viable power source for transportation as well as a distributed

Fuel From Plastic Waste Introduction: Household items made of various kinds of plastic. Plastic is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic or semisynthetic organic amorphous solid materials used in the manufacture of industrial products. Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular mass‚ and may contain other substances to improve performance and/or reduce costs. Monomers of Plastic are either natural or synthetic organic compounds. The word is derived from the Greek

have a huge impact on the communication between cells. Cell communication is a crucial process necessary for cells to carry out various functions. Drugs such as Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)‚ known as ecstasy‚ can create barriers or confusion to cells. Cell to cell communication carry messages from signaling cells to target cells. Usually a cell will bind with a target cell through a receptor protein in the plasma membrane of the target cell

AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM The Purpose of a Fuel System A fuel system purpose is to store‚ transfer‚ and then to mix the fuel with air. The function of the fuel system is to store and supply fuel to the cylinder chamber where it can be mixed with air‚ vaporized‚ and burned to produce energy. As everyone knows‚ an internal combustion engine needs fuel to operate. Fuel is delivered to the engine by means of the fuel system. The fuel system must be self-contained and efficient so that it will properly energize
