Abstract: Hydrocarbon composition plays vital role in fuel quality. For gasoline/motor spirit applications the hydrocarbon should have more octane-possessing molecules from the groups of aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins, while n-paraffins are not preferred due to their poor octane. Among the high-octane groups, again aromatics occupy the top but not more than 35 vol % aromatics can be mixed in gasoline for engine applications to avoid harmful emission, But there is no single process that addresses so far the issue of co-producing all the desired hydrocarbon components in a single process. Thus, it is interesting to have a single once-through process working on single catalyst system to produce mixture of all three high-octane molecules namely, aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins directly from low-value, low-octane n-paraffin feed. Herein, we report a novel single-step catalytic process for the simultaneous production of aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins for gasoline and petrochemical applications.

Abstract: Processes for making weather resistant, slow-decaying, durable natural fiber/coir geotextiles produce geotextiles having flexibility, permeability, light weight and cost-effective characteristics. In this process an in situ chemical grafting using a mixture of Cashew Nut Shell Liquid and aminoalkyl trialkoxysilanes with cellulose was done followed by curing in presence of sunlight, UV light or heat. The developed product showed durability and strength more than that of natural fiber/fabric and retaining natural fiber/fabric/geotextiles characteristics. The geotextiles have delayed bio-deterioration having wider long-term end use/applications. This process of making durable geotextiles is eco-friendly and retains the desired characteristic.

Abstract: The capabilities of using gold nanoparticle as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate to obtain cervical smear harvested cells biochemical information for non-invasive cervical precancerous detection were presented in this patent document. A SERS reagent and a platform has been developed and optimized for the generation of a differential spectral fingerprinting for cervical cancer detection. SERS measurements were performed on three group's cervical exfoliated cell samples: one group from patients (n=36) with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer and another group with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (n=41) and the last group from healthy volunteers (control subjects, n=47).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an in-vitro method of detecting Mtb infection by using SAXS profile of hair sample.
