The threat of oil pollution increases with the expansion of oil exploration and production activities and the industrial growth worldwide. Effective treatment and remediation of oily wastewater is a critical issue for the protection of the environment. Although oil particles can efficiently be removed by advanced technologies, the treatments are usually expensive and difficult to maintain. Use of sorbents is a common practice to dealing with an oil spill. A series of non-woven cellulose acetate (CA) nanofibrous mats with a 3D fibrous structure were successfully synthesized in this work by a novel high-throughput electrospinning process from CA / acetic acid-acetone solutions. The 15.0% CA electrospun mat exhibit hydrophobic surface properties (as opposed to as-spun CA films). The mats are superior oil sorbents (many times higher oil sorption capacity) than the best commercial sorbent (PP). Furthermore they show superb buoyancy on the water-both the dry-mats and the oil-saturated ones. In addition, CA is biodegradable, easily available, and allows for the recovery of the collected oil. Thus the high-through-put electrospun mats are excellent candidates as oil sorbents. This technology is discussed in the context of all recent patents in the field of selective oil absorbents.

Toxicity of aluminum using lipid peroxidation product – Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in serum, liver and brain homogenates in male Wistar albino rats was investigated in this study. A total of eighteen (18) rats of six (6) each in a group were administered 0.38 and 38 mg/kg body weight aluminum while the control group received 0.2ml normal saline for seven and fourteen days respectively. The results from this study show that MDA concentrations were significantly higher (p<0.05) and non-significantly higher (p>0.05) in 38mg/kg and 0.38mg/kg in serum, liver and brain homogenates after 7 and 14 days of aluminum treatment. However, the MDA concentration was highest in the brain homogenate. The results suggest lipid peroxidation probably due to the generation of free radicals, though need to be investigated further.

In this study, Khanh Hoa swiftlet nest was hydrolyzed by protamex and bromelain enzyme to prepare new food product lines. The factors affecting the polypeptide hydrolysis process were investigated to find out optimum hydrolysis conditions for the two enzymes. Bromelain showed higher hydrolysis activity than protamex in the investigated conditions. The optimum hydrolysis conditions for 1% swiftlet nest solution were 0,5 % enzyme concentration at 600C in 3h for bromelain enzyme and 0.7 % enzyme concentration at 550C in 4h for protamex enzyme. Compared to swiftlet nest solution, the hydrolysates have higher contents of soluble proteins and free amino acids, which are more antioxidant active and easier for body to absorb.

Today, emerging technologies have great impact to our lives in different ways. Modern technologies have revolutionized the way people communicates and interact all over the world. It simplifies life in so many ways and every one defines technology in their own way. Others define technology as science applied to practical purposes. This study aimed to provide a secured system that will alter the manual way of paying bills at school canteen by means of using RFID cards that is mainly capable of prepaid loading and earning points from the total amount of purchased items. The advantage of this system will benefit the people who are enjoying the canteen services. A card is allocated to each user and can be reloaded with a certain amount. A user needs to pay cash to the canteen owner for reloading the RFID card. The Prepaid RFID card for canteen project has a keypad for reloading and this keypad will be accessible only to the canteen owner. Results showed that the developed system is highly functional, highly reliable, highly efficient and highly secured.

The need for a temporary change of setting, scenery, environment, or experience or a rediscovery of roots and heritage has become an even greater driving force, leading to tourism on an organized, global-scale basis. Thus, this brings to the establishment of Filipiniana Hotel in Calapan City, Philippines which is a 50 room hotel that offers leisure and business travelers various attraction as well as business and investment opportunities. The hotel provides the guests with affordable quality hotel services in the true economy and standard categories. These premises of ideas inspired to conduct research study on the economic contributions to tourism development of the operation of this hotel. Using descriptive-correlational method of research survey questionnaire to 50 valued clients and employees, the study found out that the status of operation of Filipiniana Hotel in terms of business actions- strategies, tactics, networking, and expansion/ diversification, management, finance, and marketing were effectively done. The economic contributions to tourism development of Filipiniana Hotel in terms of self-sufficiency, increase in income, and livelihood program were at high level. There was a significant relationship between the status of operation and level of economic contribution to tourism development of Filipiniana Hotel. With this, the study recommended that the hotel should set decisions resulting in the formulation and implementation of strategies and plans designed to achieve the objectives of the hotel; and plan for expansion/diversification, continuous linkage with local associations and government agencies, marketing programs and production operations should be included in an action plan.

Through the introduction of a variety of innovative technological devices, the independent travel experience for people who are blind or have low vision can be exponentially enhanced. To address this dearth of information, an online survey was developed with the assistance of the National Federation of the Blind to assess specific issues in the healthcare and navigation spaces for the Blind Low Vision [BLV], which has not been adequately addressed in existing surveys. The Survey included fifty-five questions in total, which included topics such as navigating obstacles, indoor and outdoor injuries, and access to healthcare. The results of the [herein referred to as the Survey] results are detailed within this paper. Following the Survey, three moderator-facilitated telephonic Focus groups were held with NFB to further validate and drill down on the Survey details, which will be used to design, develop, and test prototype concepts for the BLV.
