KINETICS AND ADSORPTION OF BENZOATE AND SALICYLATE AT THE NATURAL HEMATITE-WATER INTERFACE
Kinetics of adsorption of benzoate and salicylate onto the natural hematite surfaces have been carried out at pH 5 and at a fixed ionic
strength (I=1
×10−4moldm−3). The state of equilibrium was attained at 144 and 70h for benzoate and salicylate, respectively. Adsorption
behaviour of benzoate and salicylate onto the natural hematite was studied over a wide range of pH at a fixed I=5
×10−4moldm−3 NaCl
and at different temperatures. The adsorption isotherms for both the adsorbates were Langmuir type up to pH 8. TheΓmax for benzoate is
≈2.7–13.7 times more than that of salicylate depending on the pH of the suspension. Unlike benzoate, salicylate is not only adsorbed at one

Induced immunity in Antheraea assama Ww larvae against flacherie causing Pseudomonas aeruginosa AC-3
This study reports for the first time the induction of
immunity in Antheraea assama Ww larvae against
bacterial flacherie. In silkworms group of disease
caused by bacteria are collectively called 1Cflacherie. 1D
This refers to the flaccid condition of the larvae due to
the infections of bacterial strains pathogenic to muga
silkworm. Antibacterial activity against pathogenic
Pseudomonas aeruginosa AC-3 causing flacherie,
was induced by injection of heat-killed cells of the
same strain. Experiments on larval survivability and
viable cell count revealed peak immune response on
third day. Comparison of the amount of food ingested,
excreta produced and larval weight of the salineinjected
control, live bacteria-challenged larvae and
heat-killed bacteria-injected larvae 1C(vaccinated) 1D
confirmed the development of immunity against
bacterial infection in the 1Cvaccinated 1D set. The
haemolymph of A. assama larvae was analyzed for
proteins associated with bacterial infection. Out of the
total 32 detected proteins, eleven (A1 132, A15 1320,
A22 1323, and A29) were constitutively synthesized in
both the control and live bacteria-injected larvae. Four
inducible proteins A4, A9 1310, and A21 were detected
in the haemolymph of the live bacteria-injected larvae.
Synthesis of rest of the proteins varied between the
control and their live bacteria-injected counterparts.
General protein profile of 1Cvaccinated 1D larvae injected
with live bacteria were found to be similar to that of
the saline-injected control.

Studies on uracils : a facile one-pot synthesis of oxazino[4,5- d]-, pyrano[2,3-d]-, pyrido[2,3-d]- and pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines using microwave irradiation in the solid state
—N,N-Dimethyl-5-formylbarbituric acid 1 reacts with maleimide 2 and phenyl isocyanate/phenyl isothiocyanate 4 under
microwave-assisted conditions in the solid phase to afford pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines3 and oxazino[4,5-d]pyrimidines5 in excellent
yields. Under identical conditions, N,N-dimethyl-6-amino-5-formyluracil 6 reacts with 2 and 4 to give pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine
derivative 7 and pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines 8 in high yield
DMSO/N2H4.H2O/I2/H2O/CH3CN : A new system for selective oxidation of alcohols in hydrated media
A new alternative system for the oxidation of
secondaryalcoholstoketoneswithDMSO/N2H4‚H2O/I2/H2O/
CH3CN in hydrated media has been developed. The system
also selectively oxidizes the secondary alcoholic groups to
the corresponding ketones in the presence of primary
alcoholic groups present within the same molecule in moderate
to very good yields at reflux temperature
