In the year of the 160th birth anniversary of Academician N. S. Kurnakov (1860–1941), outstanding graduate of the St. Petersburg Mining Institute (now University), it becomes clear that the issues concerning his activities as a metallurgist, materials scientist and researcher which opened the road through his students (P. P. Weimarn and others) to new technologies, including nanotechnology, are not studied enough. We do not know much about the Kurnakov–Schroeder–Weimarn relations and about their scientific communications with other physicochemists and metallurgists, who later became leaders of scientific schools and successors of the traditions of Kurnakov’s scientific school in the field of physical and chemical analysis. The purpose of this article is to analyze specific examples of the application of physicochemical analysis for development of metal alloys and materials, as well as to clarify the historical gaps in understanding the scientific relation of N. S. Kurnakov, I. F. Schroeder, P. P. Weimarn and other researchers who have made a significant contribution to the deve lopment of modern materials science and metallurgy. It is shown that P. P. Weimarn, being a student of Kurnakov and Schroeder, developed their scientific directions. However, he was not only a supporter, but also a critic of Kurnakov’s ideas, while becoming the founder of the science of nanotechnology. The results of the research summarize facts, including previously unknown ones, which demonstrate the outstanding role of N. S. Kurnakov and his achievements not only as a physicochemist, but also as a metallurgist-preceptor, one of the founders of Russian school of metallurgists and materials scientists, including the school of metallurgists of the Mining Institute, which gave momentum to number of breakthrough technologies of the 21st century.

The physical and chemical characteristics of the fruit have immense significance as they ultimately affect the quality of processed productsprepared from them. Over ripening of Sapota (Manilkara zapota) fruits at the post-harvest stage usually results in dramatic decline in quality.In the present study, physico chemical analysis (which includes Weight loss, Colour, Texture, TSS, pH, TA and Ascorbic acid content) ofedible Aloe vera gel coated Sapota fruits packed in LDPE and stored at 15 ± 2? were studied at regular intervals of 5 days i.e., 0th,5th, 10th,15thand 20th days. The dip treatment of Aloe vera gel coating 1:2, 7 minutes had best retained the physico chemical characteristics than the othertreatments performed and was found to be the most effective treatment in maintaining the fruit quality attributes along with the shelf lifeextension of about 20 days.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v3i1.11703 Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol. 3(1): 20-25

Samskara is the process of modification of Guna of a given substance which is responsible for conversion of a raw material into medicine. These Samskara are responsible for the change in quality and property of any medicine. Primary preparations of Bhaisajya Kalpana known as Panchavidha kashaya Kalpana are modified into secondary dosage forms like Vati, Avaleha, Malahara, Sneha kalpana etc in order to achieve better shelf life, easy administration and palatability. Churna kalpana is an Upkalapana of Kalka kalpana, it is mentioned to be used in many disease conditions. One among these is Kakubhadi churna, which is indicated to be sprinkled externally on Dushta Vrana. As this method of application is cumbersome and not patient friendly, an attempt has been made to modify Kakubhadi churna into Malahara. Malahara is similar to ointments and creams in modern pharmaceutics. When compared to Churna, it has as an extended shelf life and also drugs in the form of Malahara are easy to apply and store. Taking all this under consideration, present study was taken up to modify Kakubhadi churna into Malahara. Physico chemical analysis of prepared Churna and Malahara was also done to achieve preliminary standard.

<p>The area studied Taza-Taounate is a vast mountain range in north-central Morocco, characterized by a variation in bio-geographical factors that encourage a vibrant and diversified vegetation cover with a remarkable rate of endemism compared to Moroccan flora. Our work involves the physicochemical analysis of soils at seven stations in the study area. Three surface soil samples (0-15 cm) were collected and analyzed for physical and chemical parameters using standard laboratory techniques at each station.</p><p>The results showed the clay fraction's dominance in S2 and S3 and the silt fraction in stations S1, S4, S5, S6, and S7. The studied soils have low levels of organic carbon (0.97% to 2.29%), high levels of CaCO<sub>3 </sub>(10.1% to 24.9%), and neutral and slightly alkaline pH (7.01to 7.81). The most dominant element in all stations is calcium exchangeable, with values ranging from 51.52 to 74.91 cmol+/kg. The other exchangeable basic cations (Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Na<sup>+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>) have relatively low levels. CEC values vary between 36.12 and 81.13 cmol+/kg, indicating that our soil type is heavy to organic.</p>

Corrosion behavior of metal alloys in a melt of potassium chloroaluminate (KAlCl4) was investigated. Metal aluminum was used as a protector for protection against continuous frontal corrosion. The equilibrium potentials of aluminum and the corrosion potential of the alloys were measured. The data were obtained to evaluate the corrosion ability of the system of molten salt of potassium chloroaluminate - gas (argon) by measuring the redox potential of the specified environment depending on the composition of the gas atmosphere above it, i.e. from impurities of water vapor, hydrochloric acid, oxygen and other, for example, carbonaceous gases. The calculations of the protection efficiency using the potential difference between the metal aluminum and the protected material were performed. The regularities of changes in the equilibrium potentials of aluminum from the temperature and concentration were established as the fundamental data for possible use at determining the composition ratio of potassium chlorides and aluminum in potassium chloroaluminate as input data for the development of a sensor of composition of chloroaluminate potassium.
