In India, due to various mythological and religious reasons hundreds of
devotees pour oil over the idols in Hanuman or Maruti and Shani temples.
The oil once poured cannot be reutilized and was ultimately wasted.
These waste temple oil from Shani Shingnapurwas used to produce
biodiesel. Immobilized Pseudomonas aeruginosa was used to catalyze
transesterification of waste temple oil. The cells of P.aeruginosa were
immobilized within the sodium alginate. Biodiesel production and its
applications were gaining popularity in recent years due to decreased
petroleum based reserves. Biodiesel cost formed from waste temple oil
was higher than that of fossil fuel, because of high raw material
cost.To decrease the cost of biofuel, waste temple oil was used as
alternative as feedstock. It has lower emission of pollutants; it is
biodegradable and enhances engine lubricity. Waste temple oil contains
triglycerides that were used for biodiesel production by chemical and
biological method.Transesterification reaction of oil produces methyl
esters that are substitutes for fatty acid alkyl biodiesel fuel.
Characteristics of oil were studied such as specific gravity, viscosity,
acid number, saponification number.Parameters such as temperature,oil:
methanol ratio were studied and 88%, 96% of biodiesel yield was obtained
with effect of temperature and oil: methanol ratio on
transesterification reaction. Withaddition ofNaOH or KOH to fatty acids
which formed salt known as soap,which is excellent emulsifying and
cleaning agents.

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal Abdullahi MG, Roslan U, Kamarudin M. K. A. Artificial light at night and its negative consequences are of great interest in the fields of Ecology, Human Geography Astronomy, and Human Health. Most of the studies to date concentrated on the influences of light pollution has on our ability to view the night sky, on biodiversity, and ecosystems. Though, in recent years, with the use of new technologies sensors, which provide accurate information for determining of night lights at the area, most consideration were given for estimating artificial light at night within the urban areas. In this study, urban night lights within the cities of Nigeria was evaluated by monitoring data from the ground measurements using Sky Quality Meter (SQM-LU-DL) devices. Besides, the SQM was used at the zenith (upward direction) for maximum evaluating of artificial light at the sites. Differences in night sky bri...

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran Shadi Maleki, Abbas Mafi, Seyedeh Mahsa Hosseini Today, as an essential part and parcel of urban landscape that they play a major role in metabolism and create a lack of serious damage to urban life. This study performed to investigate the willingness of citizens to participate in activities to protect and develop landscapeof Tehran district 4. The research was descriptive and correlation method that is used for collecting information. The statistical population consisted of district 4 of Tehran. The sample size was determined 230 by using Cochrane method. A questionnaire was used to collect data. According to the research, 63.04 percent of citizens showed participation in a high level. Among the variables investigated how citizen participation in conservation and development of landscape, effective strategies to motivate citizens to participate,the reasons for la...

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin Adimasu Woldesenbet Worako   Land use land cover change (LULCC) is the result of the long time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that has been practiced on the land. GIS and remote sensing are the best tools that support to generate the relevant land use/cover change in the basin. This study was conducted in the Akaki River basin to detect land use land cover changes within the 30 years period (1985-2015) by using landsat imagery data acquired from the GCF. Supervised maximum likelihood algorithm classification were deployed to classify land use/cover into four prominent land use groups and data’s were processed by using ERDAS imagine 2014 and ArcGIS10.1 software. In the basin dominant LULC was agricultural land use which accounts around 56.28% and the second largest is built-up area by 31.51% and the rest, forest(11.9%) and water body(0.31%) coverage were takes t...
