...cause being the clogged drains, unsanitary canals, and polluted surroundings. In these environments, the insect spreading dengue, Aedes aegypti, thrives. The researchers decided to focus on the root cause of the disease. The researchers would like to find an alternative, more economical method of exterminating them in their breeding places other than commercial insecticides. And in this pursuit to find a substitute, the researchers came across the guava fruit (psidium guajava), which had promising properties. (insert stuff about why we chose guava blahblah about properties….. use RRL for info.) The guava fruit was collected, osterized, soaked in ethyl alcohol, concentrated and evaporated to obtain a semi-solid extract. There were six blocks for replicates, five groups with 100mL water and different guava extract concentrations each – 3%, 5%, 8%, 12.5%, and 15% - and commercialized larvicide as positive control and one setup with dechlorinated water with 1mL ethanol. The commercial larvicide proved to be the most effective, but the guava extracts also have a positive effect on the larvae, though minimal. The study should be able to aid in the reduction of health problems brought about by Aedes aegypti. It may also help the community in controlling the mosquito population at an early stage by means of an eco-friendly larvicide. Not only will it be eco-friendly, it will also be affordable and easily accessed. This study would be a big help too to the country’s economy, specifically...

...Chapter 1 In the Himalayan foothills, in the small north Indian town of Shahkot, during a very hot summer, many proposals are made to induce the monsoon. By September the situation is so bad that famine relief camps have to be set up. This is the year Sampath Chawla is born. His mother, Kulfi, is only twenty-one and just married to Mr. Chawla. She gets bigger and hungrier as the drought gets worse, but none of the relief planes coming with supplies reach them. Kulfi is so hungry, she obsesses about food and sells everything in the house. Finally, she draws pictures of food on the walls, and when there is no more wall space, Sampath is born. It is the day the monsoon rains finally come. In the storm, Kulfi gives birth, and Sampath has a brown birthmark on his cheek. As if by miracle, a Swedish relief plane drops a crate in front of the Chawla house with food in it. Kulfi thinks her baby looks like he came from another planet. The baby is named Sampath, Good Fortune. Chapter 2 Twenty years have passed. Sampath has grown into a thin and oversensitive young man, unable to sleep with the noisy breathing of his family around him, all sharing the one ceiling fan: father, mother, grandmother Ammaji, and sister Pinky. He rushes to the roof of the house where it is just as hot. He sings and walks back and forth all night, wishing he had somewhere else to go; he feels suffocated in his life. When morning comes and the town begins to wake up, he sees his father come out with a yoga mat...

...T MAHENDRAN : QUALITY OF INSTANT GUAVA DRINK POWDER PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS OF DEHYDRATED GUAVA CONCENTRATE: EFFECT OF DRYING METHOD AND MALTODEXTRIN CONCENTRATION T Mahendran Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Eastern University of Sri Lanka, Chenkalady Accepted: 20th May 2010 ABSTRACT Dehydration of guava juice into powdered particles gives a considerable reduction in volume and is an effective method of prolonging the shelf life. Therefore, a research study was conducted to determine the effect of different drying methods and the addition of drying aids on the physico-chemical properties and sensory characteristics of dehydrated guava concentrate. Instant guava-drink-powder samples were obtained by dehydrating the concentrated guava juice using freeze drying, spray drying and tunnel drying techniques. Guava juice at 10.5°Brix was used to prepare the fruit powders. A significant reduction (p<0.05) in titratable acidity of 0.22% as citric acid and an increase in pH of 0.44 after drying of guava juice indicated that some acids were lost during the drying process. The oxidative loss of ascorbic acid was considerably lower in freeze drying (18.8%) compared to tunnel drying (32.2%). Spray dried powders were obtained from the guava juice with different maltodextrin concentrations as drying aids. When 30% maltodextrin was added to guava juice, the solubility of powder was 95% whereas, adding 60% maltodextrin decreased the...

...*THE WISE OLD MAN* A wealthy man requested an old scholar to wean his son away from his bad habits. The scholar took the youth for a stroll through a garden. Stopping suddenly he asked the boy to pull out a tiny plant growing there. The youth held the plant between his thumb and forefinger and pulled it out. The old man then asked him to pull out a slightly bigger plant. The youth pulled hard and the plant came out, roots and all. "Now pull out that one," said the old man pointing to a bush. The boy had to use all his strength to pull it out. "Now take this one out," said the old man, indicating a guava tree. The youth grasped the trunk and tried to pull it out. But it would not budge. "I – It's impossible," said the boy, panting with the effort. "So it is with bad habits," said the sage. "When they are young it is easy to pull them out but when they take hold they cannot be uprooted." The session with the old man changed the boy's life.

Soap is a salt of a compound as a fatty acid. A soap molecule consist of a long hydrocarbon chain(composed of hydrogens and carbons) with a carboxylic acid group on one end which is ionic bonded to a metal ion, usually in sodium and potassium. Detergents are structurally similar to soaps, but differ in water-soluble portion. In this experiment we had to prepare soap and compare its properties to that of a synthetic detergent. We also had to compare the relative cleansing ability and costs of soap and some detergents. We were using saponification which date back to 600 BC. There were two different parts for this experiment that requires us to let the making of the soap.

...without much hard work, our OMOSOAP with its perceived- high quality would be aspirational and for once affordable to the consumers. We will manufacture the soap bar as a cuboid in OMO’s symbolic colors- Red and Blue. As mentioned in section one, this will make our product ‘standout’ when consumers are washing with OMOSOAP in a group, and hence strengthen the effect of OMO’s brand identity. PACKAGING: We package the soap using our brand name OMO so that the core benefits of our product (stain removal) can be conveyed explicitly. In addition, for packaging we use the same colors (red and blue) and logo as used for OMO detergent. This we believe would encourage emotional response and better customer recall (Kotler, 1997, p. 38). The advantages of our product are: ·Core product: The soap removes the toughest of stains and makes the clothes stain-free and shining. ·Actual product: According to the evaluations by the NE consumers towards detergents, they attach great importance to the quantity of foam produced in the detergent, by which they judge the ability to clean and whiten clothes. Our product produces a large quantity of lather when used. The two color bar will be engineered to be distinctive, good to smell, easy to hold and to last longer than any other soap bar. ·Augmented product: The soap bar with its 2-in-1 action of stain removal and addition of fragrance would leave the customers with a ‘happy feeling’ once they have done their...

... September 9, 2015 MRS. VILLABROSA ASSIGNMENT: CLEANING AGENT TYPES OF CLEANING DETERGENTS This standard includes general information on the different types of cleaning detergents, their typical uses, and their advantages and limitations. Sample products are listed when known. SOAP Uses: 1. A surfactant (Surface Active Agent). 2. Soaps are produced from naturally occurring fats and oils. Soapless or synthetic detergents are manufactured from organic chemicals usually derived from petroleum. Advantages: 1. Very effective as a bactericide. 2. It will form gels, emulsify oil and lower the surface tension of water. A lower surface tension allows the soap to come in contact with greater surface area than with water alone. Disadvantages: 1. When used in hard water, soap can produce a scum - calcium and magnesium salts present in hard water react with the soap to cause this to happen. Soapless or synthetic detergents do not leave a residual film behind. 2. Considerable rinsing is required to remove soap scum. 3. Soap may produce a greasy build-up on the surface which can be slippery. 4. More expensive than synthetic detergents. Sample Products: 1. "Joy", "Ivory" (Procter & Gamble Co.) ANIONIC DETERGENTS Uses: 1. Commonly known as a "neutral" detergent. 2. The most widely used soapless detergent. 3. Available in both liquid...

...IT401 Information Technology Architectures Discussion Board 3 August 22, 2015 The function of middle ware is to take care of requests. Imagine a room full of people that speak different languages. They need a translator in order to communicate with each other. This is also the case with different computer platforms or software. Middleware is like a translator. Middleware grants users to communicate with each other and other applications in a diversified computing environment (Rosencrace, 2000). Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is middleware that allows various computers and software to work together without being specifically configure to do so. CORBA is standardized by the Object Management Group (OMG), which is responsible for conceiving the standard architecture for distributed objects (Rouse, n.d.). This is done through an object request broker (ORB). An ORB is the part of the program that acts as an intermediary between the requests from the client for a service and the fulfillment of that request. ORB also implements security standards. This is all done in a transparent manner which is not apparent to the user (Gordon, 2015). Another part of the CORBA standard is the Interface Definition Language (IDL), which is used for the interface of remote objects. This is so that different languages can be used by clients (Rouse, n.d.). Advantages of CORBA is that this architecture does support many operating systems, platforms, and languages and...
