Authors: Arunvivek, G.K.; Maheswaran, G.; Kumar, S.Senthil Abstract: Present study presents an overview of current state of knowledge about the reuse of hazardous wash out water in concrete. On the basis of identified knowledge, an initial laboratory investigation was conducted and from the test results it is identified that the performance and properties of concrete is not affected by the reuse of this hazardous washout water.

Abstract: Present study deals with biochemical composition of rainbow crab Cardisoma rotundum was collected from Pondicherry region. The results of proximate composition in C.rotundum showed the percentage of protein was high 24.14%, followed by carbohydrate 9.34%, lipid 7.85%, moisture 37.99% and ash 20.70%. Totally ten essential amino acids were analysed. Lycine was found to be the more which constituted 0.763 mg. Valine contributed low in the body tissues (0.165 mg). Non-essential amino acids also ten acids were found. Glutamic acid was found more (0.874 mg) and the Asparagine observed very low with constituted 0.138 mg. Stearic acid was observed in high quantity of fatty acids (8.26 mg) and Linolenic acid was low quantity of fatty acids (1.72 mg) recorded. Among the minerals, calcium (216.8 mg) was observed as a major element and copper (0.36 mg) as the minor.

Abstract: The role of additives for biodiesel has gained most reliable position in the current scenario as they reasonably formulate base fuel composition contribute to efficiency reliability and long life of an engine. They also can have surprisingly large effects even when used in low (ppm) range. With the use of fuel additives for blending the biodiesel in compression ignition engine, one can expect improved engine performance, diminished exhaust emissions characteristics and also improved fuel properties, which could enhance the combustion characteristics. There are many reports based on the biodiesel blended with nanoparticles additive, however, there is a vacuum in the research pertaining to the use of the most common, low-cost and eco-friendly CeO2 nanoparticles as additive to prepare blended canola biodiesel fuel. Moreover, there are very few literatures available on the usage of CeO2 blended biodiesel. In the present study, an attempt has been made to improve and understand the engine performance of biodiesel blended with CeO2 nanoparticles and to reduce the resultant exhaust emissions.

The species was initially presumed as Cellana radiata as reported earlier by many authors. The results of the DNA barcoding pointed out that it is 99 % identical with Cellana karachiensis, and not C. radiata. C. karachiensis is till date reported only from Gulf of Oman and thus, this study reports the first record of Cellana karachiensis (Mollusca: Nacellidae) from Veraval coast, Gujarat State, India. Three different color banding patterns were observed in this animal. There was a little variation found in DNA barcoding as Type X match up to 99.69 %, Type Y and Type Z match up to 99.54 % with previously submitted DNA sequences of C. Karachiensis. We initially proposing these as three distinct subtypes (X, Y and Z) of the genus Cellana and species karachiensis, till further evidences arises as being same or different species.
