    EQUIPMENT DESIGNS Equipment designs and manufacturing drawings are offered for a range of sugar processing equipment as detailed below: x Shredders / Cane Knives – Heavy Duty x Diffusers (Cane and Bagasse) x Juice Heaters x Vapour Heaters (Direct Contact type) x Evaporators x Kestner type x Robert type x Entrainment Separators (Vertical Chevron – Internal & External) x Condensers for Evaporators & Pans (Internal & External) x Batch Vacuum Pans & Stirrers x Continuous Vacuum Pans x Vertical Crystallisers x Massecuite Reheaters x Remelters x Sugar Driers x Sugar Refining Equipment x Direct White Sugar process x Rotary Distribution System x Fluegas Scrubbers x Miscellaneous Equipment Tongaat Hulett Sugar Equipment Designs Shredders / Cane Knives (Heavy Duty) The Tongaat Hulett heavy duty shredder is a robust swing hammer pulveriser. The design incorporates high operating efficiency, low maintenance costs and resistance to damage in service. The patented rotor design gives overlapping coverage of the full shredder width with reversible swing hammers. The shredders have been installed worldwide for the last 25 years and are reliable and proven. The rupturing of the cane cells by the shredder leads to high extractions being obtained in both milling trains and diffusers. Cane & Bagasse Diffusers The Tongaat Hulett Diffuser is a variant of the moving bed diffuser. The basic design is a counter current contactor where juice is pumped (with a high percentage of recycle) onto a moving bed of prepared cane between 1.5 and 1.8 meters deep contained in a vessel approximately 60 meters long and divided into 10 to 14 stages. Typically the diffuser would have a working width between 6 and 12 meters.

  • A Review of Alocasia (Araceae: Colocasieae) for Thailand Including a Novel Species and New Species Records from South-West Thailand
    THAI FOR. BULL. (BOT.) 36: 1–17. 2008. A review of Alocasia (Araceae: Colocasieae) for Thailand including a novel species and new species records from South-West Thailand PETER C. BOYCE* ABSTRACT. A review of Alocasia in Thailand is presented. One new species (A. hypoleuca) and three new records (A. acuminata, A. hypnosa & A. perakensis) are reported. A key to Alocasia in Thailand is presented and the new species is illustrated. INTRODUCTION Alocasia is a genus of in excess of 100 species of herbaceous, laticiferous, diminutive to gigantic, usually robust herbs. The genus has recently been revised for New Guinea (Hay, 1990), Australasia (Hay & Wise, 1991), West Malesia and Sulawesi (Hay, 1998), the Philippines (Hay, 1999) while post main-treatment novelties have been described for New Guinea (Hay, 1994) Borneo (Hay, Boyce & Wong, 1997; Hay, 2000; Boyce, 2007) & Sulawesi (Yuzammi & Hay, 1998). Currently the genus is least well understood in the trans-Himalaya (NE India to SW China) including the northern parts of Burma, Thailand, Lao PDR and Vietnam with only the flora of Bhutan (Noltie, 1994) partly covering this range. In the absence of extensive fieldwork the account presented here for Thailand can at best be regarded as provisional. STRUCTURE & TERMINOLOGY Alocasia plants are often complex in vegetative and floral structure and some notes on their morphology (based here substantially on Hay, 1998) are useful to aid identification. The stem of Alocasia, typically of most Araceae, is a physiognomically unbranched sympodium. The number of foliage leaves per module is variable between and within species and individuals, but during flowering episodes in some species it may be reduced to one.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

In DPPH free radical scavenging assay, the extract exhibited potent antioxidant activity with a IC50 values of 2.43±1.06 µg/ml while in ascorbic acid, the value become 2.14±0.11 µg/ml. In thrombolytic activity using in vitro clot lysis assay method, the crude methanolic extract was found to have significant (p<0.001) thrombolytic activity at a dose of 10 mg/ml with a miximum effect of 20.23±1.56% while the standard streptokinase showed 46.13±3.87%. The extract was also investigated for its antibacterial and toxic potentiality using agar diffusion and Brine Shrimp lethality bioassay, respectively. The highest antibacterial effect was shown against Bacillus cereus (zone of inhibition 12±0.65 mm) followed by Escherichia coli (zone of inhibition 10±0.71 mm).

  • GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
    GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

E-mail: [email protected] The main phytogeographic regions within the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula are delimited on the basis of analysis of recent literature on geology, geomorphology and climatology of the region, as well as numerous recent literature information on phytogeography, flora and vegetation. The following six phytogeographic regions (at the rank of floristic province) are distinguished and outlined within eastern Indochina: Sikang-Yunnan Province, South Chinese Province, North Indochinese Province, Central Annamese Province, South Annamese Province and South Indochinese Province. Short descriptions of these floristic units are given along with analysis of their floristic relationships. Special floristic analysis and consideration are given to the Orchidaceae as the largest well-studied representative of the Indochinese flora. 1. Background The Socialist Republic of Vietnam, comprising the largest area in the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula, is situated along the southeastern margin of the Peninsula.

Aponogeton pollen is highly diagnostic and when studied with light microscopy Received in revised form 4 September 2013 (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) it cannot be confused with any other pollen types. The fossil Accepted 22 September 2013 Aponogeton pollen described here represent the first reliable Cretaceous and Eocene records of this genus world- Available online 3 October 2013 wide. Today, Aponogeton is confined to the tropics and subtropics of the Old World, but the new fossil records show that during the late Cretaceous and early Cenozoic it was thriving in North America and Greenland. The Keywords: Alismatales late Cretaceous pollen record provides important data for future phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies Aponogetonaceae focusing on basal monocots, especially the Alismatales. The Eocene pollen morphotypes from North America aquatic plant and Greenland differ in morphology from each other and also from the older Late Cretaceous North American early angiosperm pollen morphotype, indicating evolutionary trends and diversification within the genus over that time period.

  • Where All of the Undescribed Fungi?Г Wherein Only 7% of the Worldгs
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Research Rationale µ:KHUH DOO RI WKH XQGHVFULEHG IXQJL"¶ ZKHUHLQ RQO\ RI WKH ZRUOG¶V IXQJL KDYHVRIDUEHHQGHVFULEHGRIWKHPLOOLRQRI+DZNVZRUWK¶VHVWLPDWLRQLQZKLFK one third of the estimation are plant pathogenic fungi (Hawksworth, 1991; 2004). Fungi also comprise about 95% of all known plant pathogens, the remainder being bacteria, mycoplasma-like organisms and viruses (Shivas and Hyde, 1997). Rossman et al. (1987), from Literature Guide for the Identification of Plant Pathogenic Fungi, estimated the number of plant pathogenic fungi about 23,000, however, their estimation includes only those species that cause disease in vascular plants. In tropical area, moreover, Shivas and Hyde (1997) estimated about 270,000 of plant pathogenic fungi may present based on four parameters: (1) three-quarters of plant genera known occur in the tropics, (2) plant genera have an average about 50 fungal pathogens, (3) one-half of the pathogens on a host are specific to the host genus or to closely related genera and (4) few fungal pathogens have a wide host range. Although there were wide variations about the estimation of fungi including plant pathogenic fungi occur worldwide, tropical regions were generally assumed to host the greatest diversity of life and plant pathogens. It does not take into account epiphytic, lichen forming, lichenicolous mycoparasitic and mycorrhiza. Ironically, high population and rapid industrialization in most of the tropical countries present serious habitat destruction and environmental issues include large- 2 scale illegal deforestation, over-exploitation of marine resources and other environmental problems of which finally threatens the survival of indigenous and endemic species, including fungi.
