    Notes: Experiments were carried out with viable and nonviable rice seeds to detect the nature of germination inhibitors.An abscisic acid like factor is present in nonviable seeds but absent in viable ones. The main source of the factor is the embryo although measurable amounts are also obtained from the husk; it is not found in the endosperm however. Interaction with GA3 and IAA suggests that both the rice seed inhibitor and abscisic acid are antagonistic to GA3 and partially reversed the IAA induced growth. The similarity of the UV absorption spectra of the inhibitor and abscisic acid also proves its presence in nonviable seeds. The inhibitor suppresses the α-anivlase activity both in intact and excised seeds in the same way as abscisic acid but the suppression is partially overcome with higher concentrations of GA3.

    Notes: The growth substances of the seeds of Cassia fistula were studied and the changes in the relative levels in the endosperm and embryo (plus cotyledons) with development of the seed were noted.Indoleacetic acid was found to be the major auxin component of the seed almost throughout its growth and development, while acidic inhibitors possibly belonging to β-complex were also noted in bioassay tests.The main source of the IAA in the seed is the endosperm, although measurable amounts are also present in the embryo. While this IAA activity in the endosperm is detectable till maturity of the fruit, it decreases relatively in the embryo to fall to insignificance at maturity of the seed. However, there is indication of the binding of such IAA in the embryo or the cotyledon, which can be released by alkaline hydrolysis but not before the seeds are matured. No such bound auxin could be detected in the endosperm. The inhibitors, on the other hand, are more prominent in the embryo than in the endosperm, particularly with ageing of the fruit. The possible significance of these changes in the growth factors has been discussed in relation to the age of the seed and the development of the embryo inside it.

    Notes: Relative distribution of bound and free forms of nicotinic acid in rice and wheat seeds and their metabolism during germination were the subject of the present investigation. Measurement of the levels of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) formed another part of the work.Total nicotinic acid in both rice and wheat increased with germination and was maximum at 72 hours. From this time onwards, it began to decline rapidly and at the end of experiment, i.e., after 120 hours, it was lower than that for ungerminated seeds on per seedling basis, although it was slightly higher on per g dry weight basis.Ungerminated seeds of wheat and rice contained about 89 per cent and 80 per cent respectively of their total nicotinic acid in bound form which became partially free in course of germination.Total nucleotides (oxidised plus reduced forms) increased progressively up to 96 hours followed by a slight fall at 120 hours. NAD reached a maximum at 24 hours and fell gradually thereafter. The depletion of NAD was associated with a progressive accumulation of NADH. NADP decreased from the peak value at 72 hours. Formation of NADP and its maintenance at high level depend on NAD in the oxidised form and the content slowed down in tissues with higher NADU/NAD ratio. A relatively large amount of NADPH was present throughout the experiment.

    Notes: Abstract The Linear Driving Force (LDF) model for gas adsorption kinetics is frequently and successfully used for analysis of adsorption column dynamic data and for adsorptive process designs because it is simple, analytic, and physically consistent. Yet, there is a substantial difference in the characteristics of isothermal batch uptake curves on adsorbent particles by the LDF and the more rigorous Fickian Diffusion (FD) model. It is demonstrated by using simple model systems that the characteristics of the adsorption kinetics at the single pore or the adsorbent particle level are lost in (a) evaluating overall uptake on a heterogeneous porous solid, (b) calculating breakthrough curves from a packed adsorbent column, and (c) establishing the efficiency of separation by an adsorptive process due to repeated averaging of the base kinetic property. That is why the LDF model works in practice.

    Notes: Abstract The performance of a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process for production of high purity hydrogen from a binary methane-hydrogen mixture is simulated using a detailed, adiabatic PSA model. An activated carbon is used for selective adsorption of methane over hydrogen. The effects of various independent process variables (feed gas pressure and composition, purge gas pressure and quantity, configuration of process steps) on the key dependent process variables (hydrogen recovery at high purity, hydrogen production capacity) are evaluated. It is demonstrated that many different combinations of PSA process steps, their operating conditions, and the feed gas conditions can be chosen to produce an identical product gas with different hydrogen recovery and productivity.
