Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAerobic Biodegradation of Per-Treated Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether By Ozonation in an Up-Flow-Fixed-Bed ReactorM. Sadeghi, M. Arbabi, A. Nikpey, G. MardaniProblem Statement: MTBE is a common pollution of environmental and has become an issue of considerable concern in recent years. It is not readily amenable to remove MTBE by conventional techniques in water treatment. In the present study, the feasibility of the continuous aerobic biodegradation of MTBE, was evaluated in an Up- Flow Fixed Bed Reactor (UFBR). Approach: The UFBR … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Electrochemical Investigation of the Redox Properties of Murexide in Aqueous and Non-Aqueous MediaHossnia S. MohranKnowledge of solvent effects on the redox properties of Murexide (Mu) is important for understanding its role as an electron acceptor in analytical and inorganic chemistry. In the present study, an investigation of the electrochemical behavior of the compound by both Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions was undertaken. It is suggested … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview on Landfill Leachate TreatmentsAbdulhussain A. Abbas, Guo Jingsong, Liu Zhi Ping et al.Problem Statement: Sanitary landfilling is the most common way to eliminate solid urban wastes. An important problem associated to landfills is the production of leachates. This study is a review of landfill leachate treatments. Approach: The advantages and disadvantages of the various existing leachate treatments discussed under the items: (i) Leachate channeling (combined treatment with domestic sewage, recycling) (ii) Biological … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 13,754 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Air Assisted Fuel Atomizer (Liquid Siphon Type) for a Continuous CombustorPipatpong Watanawanyoo, Sumpun Chaitep, Hiroyuki HiraharaThis research was the study of a fuel injection system in continuous combustor. Air atomizing nozzle is developed to good efficiency injection and used low air pressure (68.95-275.79kPa) to assist the atomizing nozzle. Refined palm oil and automotive diesel oil were the fuels for the experiment for the system of atomization. The atomizer was designed in a manner that air … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSulfur Recovery from Acid Gas Using the Claus Process and High Temperature Air Combustion (HiTAC) TechnologyMohamed Sassi, Ashwani K. GuptaSulfur-bearing compounds are very detrimental to the environment and to industrial process equipment. They are often obtained or formed as a by-product of separation and thermal processing of fuels containing sulfur, such as coal, crude oil and natural gas. The two sulfur compounds, which need special attention, are: hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). H2S is a highly corrosive … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 17,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Some Organic Acids Additives as Shelf Life Extenders of Fresh Beef CutsMohamed B. Jamilah, K.A. Abbas, R. Abdul RahmanThis study was aiming to present some approaches by which the shelf life of fresh beef cuts was extended. These approaches were based on using organic acids. Therefore the work was started with highlighting the deterioration of some quality attributes due to spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. These attributes included colour, flavour and lipid oxidation changes. In a given holding temperature, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvidence of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Autism and Implications for TreatmentDaniel A. Rossignol, J. Jeffrey BradstreetClassical mitochondrial diseases occur in a subset of individuals with autism and are usually caused by genetic anomalies or mitochondrial respiratory pathway deficits. However, in many cases of autism, there is evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction (MtD) without the classic features associated with mitochondrial disease. MtD appears to be more common in autism and presents with less severe signs and symptoms. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 16,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMitochondrial Energy-Deficient Endophenotype in AutismJ. Jay Gargus, Faiqa ImtiazWhile evidence points to a multigenic etiology of most autism, the pathophysiology of the disorder has yet to be defined and the underlying genes and biochemical pathways they subserve remain unknown. Autism is considered to be influenced by a combination of various genetic, environmental and immunological factors; more recently, evidence has suggested that increased vulnerability to oxidative stress may be … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 11,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Rodent Model of Autism: Intraventricular Infusions of Propionic Acid Increase Locomotor Activity and Induce Neuroinflammation and Oxidative Stress in Discrete Regions of Adult Rat BrainDerrick F. MacFabe, Karina Rodríguez-Capote, Jennifer E. Hoffman et al.Innate neuroinflammatory changes, increased oxidative stress and disorders of glutathione metabolism may be involved in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Propionic acid (PPA) is a dietary and gut bacterial short chain fatty acid which can produce brain and behavioral changes reminiscent of ASD following intraventricular infusion in rats. Adult Long-Evans rats were given intraventricular infusions of either PPA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 12,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLipid Profile of Gymnasts of the Jordan National TeamAhmad Bani Ata, Kamal Mansi, Talal AburjaiThis study was carried out to assess the lipid pattern in gymnasts of the Jordan National Team. Twelve athletes represent the National gymnastic team (4 males and 8 females, mean age 18±1 year) were included in this study.
