This Sourcebook on Sustainable Urban Transport addresses the key areas of a sustainable transport policy framework for a developing city. The Sourcebook consists of more than 29 modules mentioned on the following pages. It is also complemented by a series of training documents and other material available from http://www.sutp.org (and http://www.sutp.cn for Chinese users). Who is it for? The Sourcebook is intended for policy-makers in developing cities, and their advisors. This target audience is reflected in the content, which provides policy tools appropriate for application in a range of developing cities. The academic sector (e.g. universities) has also benefited from this material. How is it supposed to be used? The Sourcebook can be used in a number of ways. If printed, it should be kept in one location, and the different modules provided to officials involved in urban transport. The Sourcebook can be easily adapted to fit a formal short course training event, or can serve as a guide for developing a curriculum or other training program in the area of urban transport. GTZ has and is still further elaborating training packages for selected modules, all available since October 2004 from http://www.sutp.org or http://www.sutp.cn. What are some of the key features? The key features of the Sourcebook include: A practical orientation, focusing on best practices in planning and regulation and, where possible, successful experiences in developing cities. Contributors are leading experts in their fields. An attractive and easy-to-read, colour layout. Non-technical language (to the extent possible), with technical terms explained. Updates via the Internet. How do I get a copy? Electronic versions (pdf) of the modules are available at http://www.sutp.org or http://www. sutp.cn. Due to the updating of all modules print versions of the English language edition are no longer available. A print version of the first 20 modules in Chinese language is sold throughout China by Communication Press and a compilation of selected modules is being sold by McMillan, India, in South Asia. Any questions regarding the use of the modules can be directed to

The antioxidants effect of two aminomethyl derivatives of 2-methoxyphenol: 4,6-di[(morpholin-4-yl)methyl]-2-methoxyphenol (DMMMP) and 5-[(pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl]vanillic acid (PMVA) on enhancing thermal and oxidative storage stability of coconut oil was performed using tert-butylhydroxyquinone (TBHQ) as a comparative standard. The efficacy on thermal stability test was carried out by heating at 180 oC for 1, 3, and 6 hours, while the efficacy on the storage stability test was performed using an accelerated method by heating at 60oC for 5 weeks. The concentrations for MDMMP was 200, 350, and 500 ppm; for PMVA was 200, 275, and 350 ppm; and for TBHQ was 200 ppm. Free fatty acid (FFA) level, peroxide value (PV), and p-anisidine value (p-AV) were used as parameters to assess the level of oxidative stability of coconut oil. The results showed that the addition of DMMMP 200, 350, and 500 ppm, and PMVA 200 and 275 ppm did not inhibit FFA, peroxide, and aldehyde formation. In thermal stability study, PMVA (350 ppm) could inhibit the free fatty acid release, and formation of secondary oxidation products compounds on thermal stability comparable to TBHQ (200 ppm) addition, but only TBHQ that could inhibit peroxide formation for 6 h. In storage stability, DMMMP (all concentration) could not delay the fatty acid release, while PMVA (all concentration) and TBHQ (200 ppm) delayed that for 2 and 5 weeks, respectively. DMMMP (all concentration) delayed peroxide formation for 2 weeks, while PMVA (all concentration) and TBHQ (200 ppm) delayed peroxide formation for 5 weeks. All compounds only delay the formation of secondary oxidation products for 1 week. In conclusion, the efficacy of PMVA as an antioxidant against thermal and storage oxidative stability of coconut oil is higher than DMMMP but lower than TBHQ.
