1	Dr Su Su Aung Associate Professor	Synthesis of Building Construction Material from Bamboo Leaves Ash	Bamboo usually grow mixed with other forest species and they form the undestroyed biomass in high forests. Bamboo leaves available in significant quantities and problems of disposal in rural areas are utilized as fuel in some regions. When burnt under controlled conditions, the bamboo leaves ash BLA obtained is essentially silica form which possesses highly pozzolanic and suitable for use in lime-pozzolana mixes and as Portland cement replacement material in construction work. Bamboo leaves collected from Thanlyin Township were used as raw material. The optimum condition for incineration temperature is 700 °C for two hours. The yield of bamboo leaves ash obtained at 700 °C is 29.18 %. The semi-quantitative assays of bamboo leaves ash indicated the relative percent composition of the presence of silicon 80.03 %, and other trace elements. Oxides of silicon (74.18%) was measured qualitatively by conventional chemical method..The pozzolanic activity of bamboo leaves ash at different incineration temperature was also determined by reaction with calcium hydroxide. Six blending ratio of bamboo leaves ash and cement, and five mixing of bamboo leaves ash and lime cement were used as experimental designs in testing the quality of blended cement. The mechanical strength such as compressive strength, tensile strength and transverse strength of each blending were measured and the quality evaluated. Mechanical strength of concrete increases with each addition of ash up to 30 %.The ash could possibly be blended up to half amount with ordinary Portland cement for concrete making. OPC blending with 30% BLA becomes affordable for people in rural areas. Adding a bamboo leaves ash, which combines with lime (by weight ratio of 1:1) in the presence of water can be used in strengthening of concrete work like rodent proof rice stores, drains in acidic soils and building construction.

2	Dr Su Su Aung Associate Professor	Study on the Mechanical Properties of Chitosan Calcium Aleinate Membrane	The present study involves the preparation of membranes and investigation of the effect of alginate content, calcium ion content and chitosan content on the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, percent elongation at break, tear strength and thickness. From the experimental works, if the amount of alginate content were increased, the tensile strength and % elongation at break were increased. If the amount of calcium ion content were increased, the tensile strength and % elongation at break were also increased. Therefore the amount of alginate content influenced the tensile strength and percent elongation at break.. And also the amount of chitosan content influenced the tensile strength and % elongation at break.	Banmaw University Research Journal, 2019 June,Vol.10 No.1(Pg 130-140)

5	Dr Su Su Aung Associate Professor	Application of Corncob Powder Adsorbent for Removal of Heavy Metal Ions	The present research work is the preparation of corncob powder to be used as the effective sorbents for the removal of heavy metal lead and cadmium. The corncobs were collected from the Shwe Kyi Narr village, Banmaw Township in Kachin State. Thermal activation of corncob powder (80-mesh size) was prepared by heating process of 100◦C at 2 hr. The elemental content of corncob powder was determined by EDXRF analysis. The removal of heavy metal lead and cadmium from aqueous solution on thermal activated corncob powder were carried out by titrimetric method. The effects of sorption parameters (concentration of metal ions solution, contact time and sorbent dose) were investigated. For concentration effect, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 mg L1 of each metal ions were used on sorbent dosage 0.50 g at 60 min contact time for shaking at 150 rpm . For contact time method, the initial concentration 300 mg L1 of each metal ions solution and sorbent dosage 0.50 g were used with various content time 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 , 105, 120, and 135 min respectively. For dosage method, the amount of sorbents 0.25 g, 0.50 g, 0.75 g, 1.00 g , 1.25 g, and 1.50 g and initial concentration 300 mg L1 were used at 60 min contact time for shaking at 150 rpm . Sorption isotherm studies corresponded to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used. And then, significant sorption parameters of these isotherms were also evaluated. Based on R2 values the Freundlich isotherm is more favorable and multilayer adsorption is possible. Based on the percent removal results, the sorption capacities of sorbent for the removal of lead are greater than that of cadmium. The kinetics of adsorption could be described using pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic model. In all cases, the kinetics follows the pseudo-second order rate equation.

10	Dr Hla Hla Win	Purification and Characterization of Tyrosinase from Straw Mushroom, Volvarielia volvacea ( Bull. Ex Fr.)	Tyrosinase (monophenol, o-diphenol: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC(1.14.18.1) is a copper containing metalloenzyme distributed in a wide range of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, and other animals. It is a key enzyme in the process of melanin biosynthesis from L-tyrosine. In this research, tyrosinase from straw mushroom was isolated and purified by using successive ammonium sulphate precipitation and gel chromatographic (Sephadex G-100) techniques. Tyrosinase oxidized catechol to initially to orange compound benzoquinone that is converted to melanins as major product. The specific activity (relative purity) of the enzyme, increased about four folds from crude extracted to final purification step. The activity of purified tyrosinase was found to be137.50 EU per gram of mushroom. The purity of the enzyme was confirmed by non SDS-PAGE as a single band. By using non SDS-PAGE the molecular weight for tyrosinase was found as 114.815 Dalton. The enzyme properties (effect of enzyme concentrations, pH, temperature, enzyme specificity, reaction time) were determined. The optimum pH and temperature of the tyrosinase enzyme were found to be 7.0 (phosphate buffer) and 37˚C, respectively. The activation energy (Ea) of the tyrosinase-catalysed reaction was determined to be 4.0470 kcal mol-1and Arrhenius constant was 8.8247 x103. The enzyme specificity of the purified tyrosinase enzyme was studied by using various substrates such as catechol, hydroquinone, resorcinol, tyrosine and phenol. It was found that tyrosinase activity of the prepared enzyme mainly related with catechol and tyrosine and some extent to phenol. Therefore, the purified tyrosinase exhibits absolute specificity on catechol, tyrosine and phenol, not for hydroquinone and resorcinol.

11	Dr Hla Hla Win	Degradation of Phenol by Immobilized Tyrosinase Enzyme	Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) enzyme was extracted from straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) by using ammonium sulphate precipitation method and then chromatographic purification on crude tyrosinase enzyme was carried out using Sephadex G-100 gel. The relative purity of the enzyme (specific activity) increased about four folds from crude extract to final purification step. The immobilization of the purified tyrosinase was carried out by adsorption on alumina using acetone as an immobilization medium. Comparative studies of optimum temperature and optimum pH between the free and immobilized enzyme were carried out. There was no significant difference of optimum pH and temperature between immobilized and free one. The optimum pH and optimum temperature for immobilized and free tyrosinase enzyme were found to be 7.0 and 37oC, respectively. In this paper, phenol degradation catalyzed by immobilized tyrosinase was studied using model phenol solution. At first, wavelength of maximum absorption of phenol solution was investigated and λmax were found at 216 and 269 nm. The standard calibration curve was constructed using standard phenol solution (10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 ppm). The straight line passed the origin and Beer’s law was obeyed. Although enzymatic reaction of dephenolization was relatively fast (51% phenol degradation for 2 hr), polymer precipitation of insoluble brown precipitate was much slower and was noticeable only after 7 hr degradation time. After 24 hr degradation time, 97.75% of phenol was degraded.	Journal of the Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science, 2013 March, Vol.XI, No.1(Pg 357-370)

The adsorption properties of different bio-sorbent (HAFSP-1- 7) were compared for the removal of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) at pH 3. According to these analyses, HAFSP-5 was found to be more effective than other samples. Adsorption capacities of HAFSP-5 were determined at different dosages and initial concentration by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer at λmax 498 nm and 25C. The optimum dosage was 0.1 g and initial concentration was 100 ppm respectively. The outcome of the present research is the preparation of waste bio-sorbent for the removal of anionic surfactant from the industrial wastewater.	2nd International Conference on Bioeconomy, 2020
21	Daw Myint Myint Than	Study on the Adsorption of Surfactant With and Without Electrolytes on Activated Seashell Sorbent	In this study, waste seashell was used as biosorbent for the adsorption of surfactant with and without electrolytes from model aqueous solution at pH 6. Surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) was used as modifier. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) value of SDS decreases with mixing electrolytes (Na2SO4 and Na3PO4). Therefore, upon addition of Na2SO4and Na3PO4 in SDS, Na3PO4 decreases the CMC value of SDS more than Na2SO4. Adsorption of SDS on HASSP-7 sample by batch operations were conducted with different operation parameters such as dosage of adsorbent and initial concentration of adsorbate. The optimum dosage was 0.1 g and initial concentration was 100 ppm. Sorption of SDS on HASSP-7 was conducted with and without electrolytes. The amount adsorbed of SDS was found more with electrolytes than without electrolytes. Moreover, the amount of SDS adsorption with Na2SO4 was high in comparison with Na3PO4. The outcome of the present research is the surfactant consumption was reduced by adding small amount of electrolytes to the surfactant solutions. It is expected that they can be used in the treatment of paper industrial wastewater containing surfactant (SDS).	Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science Journal, 2020
22	Daw Nu Nu Nge	A Study on the Quality of Water from the Hot Spring in Moemauk Township	The water quality of the hot spring which is located in Moemauk Township, Kachine State was studied during cold season. Water samples were collected to analyze some physicochemical components of water in hot spring. The results obtained were compared with the standard level of WHO. This investigation has indicated the extent of water pollution of the hot spring, leading to what actions should be taken to control the quality of water. According to the recorded results, Moemauk Hot Spring is a sulfur spring. The values of BOD and cadmium were found to be slightly above the standard level.

23	Daw Nu Nu Nge	Antioxidant Scavenging Activity Assays of Kassod Tree Plant	In this research work, three parts of Kassod Tree plant were selected for the study.The leaf, bark and root of Kassod Tree were collected from Namphar Quarter, Banmaw Township, Kachin State. The collected samples were tested by phytochemical screening. The crude extracts of samples were investigated by two antioxidant activity scavenging methods (metal chelating activity assay and DPPH radical scavenging activity assay) with China 752 N UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The obtained data were compared with respective standard values. The IC50 values of three samples were determined by linear regressive excel programme.

24	Daw Nu Nu Nge	Determination of Total Phenolic, Total Flavonoid Content and Antioxidant Activity of Lemon Plant	The three different parts of Lemon extracts (leaf, bark and root) were analyzed for total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and antioxidant activity. TPC and TFC of Lemon extracts were determined as mg of gallic acid equivalents per gram (mg GAE/g) and mg of catechol equivalents per gram (mg CAE/g) by using their calibration curves. The antioxidant activity was determined by the reducing power assay. This assay based on the electron transfers to oxidative ions or free radicals. Ascorbic acid was used as a standard for the comparison of IC50 values in the reducing power assay.	Banmaw University Research Journal, 2020 June, Vol.11, No.1
