The research focuses on optimizing the anaerobic co-digestion process with swine dung through varying calcium oxide (CaO) pretreatment concentrations during a 45-day experiment. CaO pretreatment significantly enhances biogas yield, with 2% CaO yielding the highest biogas production at 8024.10 mL. Methane concentration analysis reveals that higher CaO concentrations, notably 2% and 3%, accelerate methane production, indicating an optimal CaO concentration of around 2% for maximizing methane yield. This study outperforms others in anaerobic co-digestion, achieving a methane concentration of 64.93%. Data on C. indica at different CaO concentrations as a substrate underscores the need for precise CaO tuning for optimal methane production.

Fish oil is an industrial product of great nutritional value due to its having long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Moreover, it is highly valued for its prophylactic and therapeutic properties in nutritional and health fields. Moreover, these fatty acids are related to different neuronal functions, and their absence is associated with diverse inflammatory processes and the precarious development of neurons in human patients. Fish oil from the body parts of the hybrid catfish' frozen adipose tissue was extracted using the conventional cooking method, and a screw compressor squeezed the prepared sample and then steamed it to separate solid and oil portions to determine quantitative yield. The GC-MS method characterized the obtained total extracts for the qualitative and quantitative determination of the presence of fatty acids. Oil contents of adipose tissues were saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and unsaturated fatty acids 37.99±0.41%, 48.43±1.75%, and 13.58±1.33%, respectively.

More than 30,000 deaths are reported each year due to CAUTI. These infections are caused due to different biofilm- forming species such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), Candida spp, Klebsiella spp, Proteus spp, Bacteroides spp, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterobacter spp. This study examined the growth of two major uropathogenic (E. coli and E. faecalis) strains on catheter surfaces under antibiotic-treated and untreated conditions. The antibiotics used for this study are Ciprofloxacin and Doxycycline, which are considered to be broad-spectrum antibiotics. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) assay was performed to identify the concentration at which these antibiotics show efficient inhibition. The results show that both antibiotics have an inhibitory effect on single and dual-species biofilms. However, E. coli is more resistant to Doxycycline (MIC: 100 μg/mL), whereas E. faecalis is more resistant to Ciprofloxacin (MIC: 50 μg/mL). Interestingly, the dual-species cultures are more susceptible to both antibiotics at lower concentrations, 5μg/mL. Furthermore, a CFU assay was performed to quantify the results obtained, and a similar trend could be observed with around a 4-fold reduction in bacterial colonies when catheters are coated with antibiotics. In addition, the antibiotic-coated catheters contribute no pathogen contamination to the environment.","PeriodicalId":18176,"journal":{"name":"Maejo International Journal of Energy and Environmental Communication","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86378513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional wine consumption, often synonymous with alcohol content, has seen a shift in value and health appeal with the infusion of spirulina. The fermentation process was monitored using both single and mixed cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae until it achieved 12% alcohol content. Sensory evaluations by fruit wine consumers revealed gender-based preferences in the acceptability of tangerine wine formulations. Specifically, females showed a higher liking for 5 out of 9 wine formulas, with sugar and acidity playing pivotal roles in flavours preference. Three distinct algae wine recipes were fermented at room temperature, with chemical analyses post-fermentation indicating standard pH levels for wine (3.0 - 4.0). Among them, the seaweed-pineapple blend was the standout, with a pH of 3.55 and a 72.96% approval rate among taste testers. The economic analysis highlighted the pineapple-seaweed variant's high production cost, though pure spirulina wine boasted the most significant return on investment. In conclusion, pineapple-infused spirulina wine emerges as a frontrunner in terms of taste, standard adherence, and economic viability, presenting a solution to the regional fruit surplus.\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":18176,"journal":{"name":"Maejo International Journal of Energy and Environmental Communication","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72720661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the efficiency of the DSSC prepared with methanol-extracted dye improved by 15.67% when contrasted with the double distilled water and 11.05% when juxtaposed with ethanol. This study used a UV spectrophotometer to investigate the extracted dyes' characteristics. This instrument allowed us to meticulously analyzed the dyes’ absorption properties, providing further insights into their potential applications in DSSCs.

These variables were systematically varied following the Central Composite Design (CCD). Lutein quantitation was achieved using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry analysis. Using both the RSM and CCD frameworks, the study established specific ranges for the operational conditions: 21.6–38.4% for ultrasonic amplitude, 23.18–56.82 °C for extraction temperature and 3.18–36.82 minutes for extraction duration. The study determined the optimal extraction conditions to be 32.76% ultrasonic amplitude, 40.08 °C extraction temperature, and 25.82 minutes of extraction time. Under these optimized conditions, the experimental lutein yield closely matched the yield predicted by the RSM model, thus confirming the model's accuracy. The UAE demonstrated a notably superior lutein yield compared to traditional extraction techniques. The RSM is a robust tool for refining and determining optimal UAE conditions for lutein extraction from marigold flowers.
