    Towards the shell biorefinery: sustainable synthesis of the anticancer alkaloid Proximicin A from chitin

    No full text
    A shell biorefinery would involve fractionation of crustacean shells and incorporation of the components into value-added products, particularly those that contain nitrogen. In a proof-of-concept study that validates this concept, the anticancer alkaloid proximicin A has been synthesized from the chitin-derived platform chemical 3-acetamido-5-acetylfuran (3A5AF). This study accentuates the leading role chitin is likely to play in the sustainable production of nitrogen-containing fine chemicals that are not directly attainable from lignocellulose.</p

    The Integrated Use of EMME/2 and Arc/Info: Practice in Lyon County, MinnesotaSharing data between GIS software (Arc/Info) and Traffic Demand Modeling Software (EMME/2) has long been an issue of interest to traffic engineers. A literature review and evaluation of current efforts on the data exchange is given in this paper. The authors also developed their own economical method to realize the data transform through Matlab programming. As a practice, a model of the truck flow pattern in Lyon County, Minnesota is developed by the integrated use of Arc/Info, EMME/2, Enif, and the Matlab program. The combined use of these programs overcame the disadvantage of a single software and achieved expected objective. The program is free to anyone who have interests.Minnesota Department of TransportationLi, Ning; Zou, Xi; Levinson, David M. (2004).

    This study is a classroom action research that aims to improve the learning outcomes of students of grade V SDN. No. 017 / XI Sungai Ning  year 2016/2017 on the subject of Civic Education, especially on respect and obey the mutual decisions by using discussion method. This research was conducted at SDN. No. 017 / XI Sungai Ning, Sungai Bungkal District, Sungai Penuh City, Jambi Province. The study was conducted from January to May 2017. The study involved six students of Grade V. Classroom action research was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle is done in two meetings with four activities, namely planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data was collected by observation and test. Data was processed and analyzed using descriptive analysis and simple statistical test. The results showed that the learning outcomes of students has increased. The average value of students who initially 48.33 increased to 63.33 in Cycle I, and again increased to 76.67 in Cycle II. Similarly, the percentage of learning mastery. the percentage of mastery learning students which initially 33.33% increased to 66.67% in Cycle I and again increased to 100.00% in Cycle II. Thus, the discussion method succeeded in improving the learning outcomes of students of grade V SDN. No. 017 / XI Sungai Ning year 2016/2017 on the subject of Civic Education, especially on respect and obey the mutual decisions

    Numerical modelling of ice floods in the Ning-Meng reach of the Yellow River basin

    No full text
    The Ning-Meng reach of the Yellow River basin is located in the Inner Mongolia region at the Northern part of the Yellow River. Due to the special geographical conditions, the river flow direction is towards the North causing the Ning-Meng reach to freeze up every year in wintertime. Both during the freeze-up and break-up period, unfavourable conditions occur which may cause ice jamming and ice dam formation leading to dike breaching and overtopping of the embankment. Throughout history this has often led to considerable casualties and property loss. Enhanced economic development and human activities in theregion have altered the characteristics of the ice regime in recent decades, leading to several ice disasters during freezing or breaking-up periods. The integrated water resources management plan developed by the Yellow River Conservancy Commission (YRCC) outlines the requirements for water regulation in the upper Yellow River during ice flood periods. YRCC is developing measures that not only safeguard against ice floods, but also assure the availability ofadequate water resources. These provide the overall requirements for developing an ice regime forecasting system including lead-time prediction and required accuracy. In order to develop such a system, numerical modelling of ice floods is an essential component of current research at the YRCC, together withfield observations and laboratory experiments. In order to properly model river ice processes it is necessary to adjust the hydrodynamic equations to account for thermodynamic effects. In this research, hydrological and meteorological data from 1950 to 2010 were used to analyse the characteristics of ice regimes in the past. Also, additional field observations were carried out for iceflood model calibration and validation. By combining meteorological forecasting models with statistical models, a medium to short range air temperature forecasting model for the Ning-Meng reach was established. These results were used to improve ice formation modelling and prolong lead-time prediction. The numerical ice flood model developed in this thesis for the Ning-Meng reach allows better forecasting of the ice regime and improved decision support for upstream reservoir regulation and taking appropriate measures for disaster risk reduction.Dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the Board for Doctorates of Delft University of Technology and of the Academic Board of the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education.Environmental Fluid Mechanic
