Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Nano Silica on the Compressive Strength of Harden Cement Paste at Different Stages of HydrationJustin Montgomery, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer A. Hamoush, Miguel PicornellThis study investigated the compressive strength of hardened cement paste and the formation of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) with the addition of nano silica (SiO2). Compressive strength testing was performed using MTS and Forney testing machines to determine stress-strain curves and compressive strength of the materials. The hydration process and formation of C-S-H and Calcium Hydroxide (CH) was examined using … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2016 · 8,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Dynamic Behavior of Fish Oil/Silver Nitrate Solution in Mini-Channel, Effect of Alkane Addition on Flow Pattern and Interfacial TensionKirubanandan ShanmugamThe mini-fluidic contacting system is developed as process intensification platform as an attractive alternative for existing liquid-liquid extraction system for separation of Omega 3 PUFA from using Aqueous 50% Wt. Silver nitrate solution. To improve the performance of extraction in mini-fluidics, it is necessary to study the flow-dynamic behavior of fish oil silver nitrate system in the channel. Moreover, different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Feb 2016 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Cadmium and Glucose on Soil Microbial CommunitiesAliya Gilmullina, Polina Galitskaya, Svetlana SelivanovskayaA laboratory-based simulation of exposure of the soil community in a gray forest soil to cadmium and glucose has been conducted. It was established that while growing in a fertile medium microbial communities isolated from a soil sample contaminated with cadmium have a substantially increased phase of growth delay and there is a reduction in total growth. While analyzing communities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 6 Nov 2015 · 6,645 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Recombinant Toxin Phospholipase D in Cardiac Muscle of RatsJoao Victor Capelli Peixoto, Fernando Augusto Lavezzo Dias, Carlos Estevan Nolf Damiani et al.Loxoceles spiders gender are worldwide spread and its bites can cause dermonecrosis or even a systemic effect (hemolysis, kidney and liver injury). It is believed that phospholipase D, the main component present in the venom, could be responsible for the injury. In this study, we used a recombinant form of phospholipase D (rLiD1) and evaluated its direct and systemic effects … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jun 2015 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Solution for Reducing Doppler Shift in the MB-OFDM System Over High Mobility Multipath Channel for V&I CommunicationSanaa Kabil, Raja Elassali, Fouzia Elbahhar et al.The MB-OFDM has been proposed as a good candidate to ensure Vehicle to Infrastructure communication (V&I). Fast moving vehicles present challenges for the proposed system especially for high mobility (250 km h-1). The main objective in this study is to study and investigate the impact of Doppler shift on the quality of transmitted/received signal in terms of Bit Error Rate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,170 accessesView PDFCite
