Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlled Release Behaviors of Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide and Potassium Nitrate Fertilizer from Natural Polymer Blended Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogel MicrospheresFawzi Habeeb Jabrail, Wajeeh Mohammed Jamil, Maher Zeki Elsabee, Kailash Chandra GuptaPolyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) hydrogel microspheres for controlled release of fertilizer (KNO3) and Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide (TBM) were prepared by blending the naturally occurring Alginate (AL) and Pectin (PE). The cross-linking in PVA hydrogel microspheres was carried out by varying the amount of glutaraldehyde from 0.5-1.0 wt%. To control the loading and release properties of PVA hydrogel microspheres, a small amount … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 13 Jul 2019 · 7,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of EVA, PVB and Ionoplast Interlayers on the Structural Behaviour and Fracture Pattern of Laminated GlassLiene Sable, David Kinsella, Marcin KozłowskiArchitectural trends increasingly challenge material producers and engineers to create sustainable, renewable and innovative laminated glass products that combine multiple functions as in, for example, glass railings with solar cells, curved laminated glass, floors with light emitting diodes that serve as multimedia screens. All new tendencies require the development of interlayers for laminated glass, which allows laminating electrical parts, solar … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 5 Jul 2019 · 8,166 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpace ProbesRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuA space probe is an unmanned space vehicle launched into space to study more or less distant different celestial objects: The Sun, the planets, dwarf planets and small bodies, their satellites, the interplanetary medium or the interstellar medium. A space probe is distinguished from other unmanned spacecraft that remain in Earth orbit. Space probes can take a large number of … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 21 May 2019 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Drying Methods on Coal Liquefaction ConversionMehran HeydariThe sample coal used in this work was lignite containing 25% of moisture and 19% of ash from Canada. Drying of lignite coal had considerable influence on the coal liquefaction conversion. Vacuum dried and nitrogen dried samples provided higher conversion than air dried samples. The air drying showed nearly lower conversion, which probably as a result of oxidation. Air Drying … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2019 · 7,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Plant Species Suitability for a Substrate-Free Tropical Green RoofBruno R. Silva, André Mantovani, Dulce G. Mantuano et al.Greenroofs reduce building exterior-interior thermal flux and mitigate high internal air temperatures, especially in tropical climates. Tropical greenroofs are given little attention and their use remains restricted to a very low percentage of roofs due to high costs compared to traditional roofs, weight overload (mainly due to the chosen substrate) and potential waterproofing problems. We here present an alternative greenroof … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 11 Oct 2018 · 7,529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of 10 cm and 50 cm Long Iodine Cells in Iodine-Stabilized Diode Laser-Pumped Nd:YAG Laser at 532 nmPrayut Potirak, Monludee Ranusawud, Pichet Limsuwan, Prathan BuranasiriAn iodine-stabilized diode laser-pumped Nd:YAG laser system at 532 nm was developed at the National Institute of Metrology of Thailand (NIMT) for the first time in Thailand. Two iodine cells with the lengths of 10 and 50 cm were used for the comparison of frequency stability of Nd:YAG laser. The experiment was set for phase modulation spectroscopy. The Nd:YAG laser … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 26 May 2018 · 7,891 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrowave-Sensitive Reactors to the Rescue: From Microwave-Assisted Chemistry to Environmental ApplicationsGjergji Shore, Dhimitri Gusho, Hassan Hassan, Eugenia GjurajThe idea of using microwave sensitive reactors is relatively new in chemistry and environmental areas. Applications in both areas might be different but the effects can be amazing. Flow through reactors coated with thin metallic films using a variety of deposition techniques have been used as vessels to conduct reactions in flow under microwave irradiation. The metal coating not only … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 23 May 2018 · 8,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovements on Semi Critical Assisted-Solvent Extraction of Biocrude Oil from Spirogyra. sp Macro AlgaeTulio Chavez-Gil, Hany F. Sobhi, Alexis Pacheco-LaracuenteHere, we report on an improved chemical method to extract hydrocarbons (CH) and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) from wild green macro algae, which is higher than that carried out with conventional Soxhlet (Sx) and similar to that of Subcritical (SbC) or supercritical fluid (SCE) extraction methods. Crude oil plus residual biomass gave combined calorific values of 49.05 MJ/kg in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2018 · 10,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeochemistry of Siloam and Tshipise Geothermal Springs, Limpopo Province, South AfricaOlatunde Samod Durowoju, John Ogony Odiyo, Georges-Ivo Ekosse EkosseGeothermal springs are natural geological phenomena that occur throughout the world, and South Africa (SA) is endowed with several springs of this nature. Most of the geothermal springs in SA (31%) are found in Limpopo Province. Assessment of geochemistry of Siloam and Tshipise geothermal springs were undertaken during 2014 winter (May – July) and summer (October – December) seasons. Water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Mar 2018 · 8,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Energy Modeling Using Artificial Neural NetworksMaya Arida, Nabil Nassif, Rand Talib, Taher Abu-LebdehAccurate modeling of total building energy is now vital to reduce energy consumption. This is especially true for buildings since they are considered as the largest energy consumer in the United States. This paper investigates modeling methods for building energy-systems using non-linear auto-regression artificial neural networks. The proposed model can forecast the whole building energy consumptions given the four input … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2017 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
