Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Lignite and Firewood Co-combustion in a Furnace for Tobacco Curing ApplicationNakorn Tippayawong, Chutchawan Tantakitti, Satis ThavornunCo-combustion of lignite and firewood was investigated for an application in tobacco curing industry in Northern Thailand. Extensive experiments have been carried out in a newly developed furnace suitable for small curing unit, in place of locally made furnace. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the performance of the combustion chamber in the required thermal output range for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,901 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Banana (Musa, AAA cv. Cavendish) Fruits PeelMatook Saif Mokbel, Fumio HashinagaThe fresh green and yellow banana peel of, (Musa, cv. Cavendish) fruits were treated with 70% acetone, which were partitioned with chloroform (CHCl3) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc), sequentially. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated by using the thiocyanate method, β-carotene bleaching method and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical elimination. While, antimicrobial activities of the extracts and isolated components were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 16,037 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of Micronuclei in Mice Lymphocytes Exposed to Microwave and TolueneS. B. Mortazavi, A. Safari, A. Khavanin et al.Increasing applications of microwave radiation are of great concern with regard to public health. Several studies have been conducted detect effects of microwave exposure genetic material leading to negative or questionable results. The Micronucleus (MN) assay which is proved to be a useful method for detection of radiation exposure-induced cytogenetic damage was used in the present study to investigate the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,614 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of the Ozonation Pre-treatment for Biodegradation of Aqueous Solutions of Methyltert-Butyl EtherM. Sadeghi, A. Mesdaghinia, A. Badkoubi et al.The effectiveness of ozone treatment for improving the biodegradability of recalcitrant pollutants has been proved by investigating the ozonation reaction of Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) a bioresistant gasoline oxygenate. Laboratory scale experiments have been carried out, at room temperature, by bubbling, for 120 min, ozonated air (3.4 ppm min-1 ) into 3 liter of an alkaline (pH=11.5) aqueous solution (100 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,463 accessesView PDF Cite
