The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pyrolysis temperatures on composition and electrical conductivity of carbosil produced from rice husk, by conducting pyrolysis experiments at three different temperatures of 200; 400; and 700 °C. The structure of the samples was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The microstructure and elemental composition were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), and the electrical conductivity was measured using four probe method. The FTIR analyses revealed the existence of Si-O-Si and Si-OH functional groups, but no functional groups associated with carbon, confirming the formation of carbosil. This formation of carbosil is also supported by the results of EDS analyses which show the presence of only three elements of C, O, and Si, respectively. The XRD results indicate that the carbosils are amorphous, suggesting that no transformation of carbon and silica into crystalline phase to the limit of the temperatures applied. The carbosil formation decreased with increasing of pyrolysis temperature. The microstructure of the carbosils indicates that the higher the temperature, the smaller the grain size of the samples. The values of electrical conductivity of the samples are in the range of 1.13 x 10-3 to 6.81 x 10-3/(Ω.m) with the application of 10 tones compression pressure, but the conductivities of the sample prepared at 200 °C were found to increase with increased compression pressure to six fold from 6.81 x 10-3 to 41.94 x 10-3/(Ω.m) by increasing compression pressure to 80 tones. Based on these conductivity values, the samples are considered as semiconductor, suggesting the potential use of the carbosil in semiconductor devices.

Synthesis of flavones and their derivatives has attracted considerable attention due to their significant pharmaceutical effects. 7-hydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxyflavone has been synthesized and its antioxidant activity has been investigated. Flavone was synthesized by oxidative cyclization of chalcone. 2',4'-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxychalcone was prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenones with 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehydes in the presence of aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and ethanol at room temperature. Oxidative cyclization of 2',4'-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxychalcone was done by using I2 catalyst in DMSO to form 7-hydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxyflavone. The synthesized compounds were characterized by means of their UV-Vis, IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectral data. The compound was tested for their antioxidant activities by DPPH method.

At present, inulin is often added to multivitamin syrup product. The determination of the component of preparation both qualitatively and quantitatively is important to ensure quality of the product. This research is aimed to develop a high performance liquid chromatography method to analyze inulin in multivitamin syrup preparation. Separation of inulin from the sample, was performed using Aminex column HPX-87H (300 x 7.8 mm) Ion Exclusion at a temperature of 80 °C with isocratic elution system using deionized water as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, and detected by using refractive index detector. This method validation showed a good linearity with correlation coefficient (r) of 0.999 while the coefficient of variation of the regression function (Vx0) was 2.00%. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of the method were respectively 0.12 mg/mL and 0.37 mg/mL. The mean absolute recovery of inulin from the simulation sample was 99.42% and the method precision was less than 2%. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of inulin in commercial multivitamin syrup and the recovery of label claim was 99.9 mg/100 mL. The proposed HPLC method is rapid, simple, and selective for routine analysis.

Structure-Based Virtual Screening (SBVS) protocols to identify cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitors have been constructed and optimized based on their Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) values of the docked pose and the crystal structure pose of the reference ligand. Employing a COX-1 structure obtained from the Protein Data Bank (pdb) with code 2OYE as the reference protein and PLANTS1.2 as the molecular docking simulation program, the SBVS protocols were mainly built. The preparation steps involved SPORES and Open Babel, while the results analysis involved PyMOL to calculate the RMSD and R computational statistics software to perform the statistics calculations. The results show that these construction and optimization processes could provide an SBVS protocol to identify COX-1 inhibitors that is accurately able to redock the reference ligand with the RMSD value of 0.633 Å.

The capability of 15-crown-5 ethers to form complexes with some metal cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+) was investigated by an ab initio quantum mechanical method. The calculations were performed at the RHF/lanl2mb level of theory. The interaction energies were used to evaluate the metal binding capability of the crown ether. The effect of nature of the metal on the binding properties was also studied. The results of the calculations showed that the interaction energy of the complexes increased in proportion with the ratio of ion charge, electronegativity and ionization potential to the cation diameter. In addition, based on the extraction distribution coefficient in the gas phase, it is found that the 15-crown-5 could not extract metal cations investigated.

Copoly(eugenol-DVB) with DVB composition of 2%, 6% and 12% had been prepared and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The copolymers were used as membrane carriers for the transport of phenol using the polymer inclusion membranes (PIM) based on polyvinylchloride (PVC) as membrane support. The experimental conditions for investigation of the transport of phenol through the membranes were pH of the source phase, NaOH concentration in the stripping phase, membrane thickness, phenol concentration and transport time. The results showed that the optimum condition for phenol transport was achieved on the membrane based on copoly(eugenol-DVB) 12% with the transport efficiency of 75.6% at pH of the source phase of 4.5, NaOH concentration of 0.25 M and transport time of 48 h. The reaction follows first order kinetics with mass transfer coefficient (k) of 1.02×10-5 m/s and permeability (Ps) of 8.5×10-6 m/s.
