Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Concentrations of Dissolved Oxygen and Chlorophyll-a in the Coastal Waters of BabolsarSiamak Jamshidi, Noordin Bin Abu Bakar, Marzieh YousefiProblem statement: Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) are two vital requirements for marine ecosystems. Nowadays, discharge of large amounts of industrial, agricultural and urban wastes threats the Caspian Sea (CS) environment. With regard to the elevation of nutrient contents, average of DO concentrations in the deeper layers of the CS is reducing. On the other hand, increased amounts of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Soft Wood Wastes as a Feed Stock to Produce Fuel EthanolAdnan M. Khalil, Ali F. Al-Shawabkeh, Ayman S. Mazahreh et al.Problem statement: The current research investigated the utilization of soft wood waste as a feedstock to produce a value-added product-fuel ethanol. Approach: The main issue in converting soft wood waste to fuel ethanol is the accessibility of the polysaccharides for breaking down into monosaccharides. This study focused on the use of steam as the pretreatment method. The governing factors for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Severity of Mitral Valvular Regurgitation with Doppler Echocardiography Using Proximal Flow Convergence MethodPinjari Abdul Khayum, M.N. Giriprasad, P.V. SrideviProblem statement: Valvular regurgitation is recognized as the central cause of morbidity and mortality. Even though the clinician can detect the presence of regurgitation by mere physical examination; diagnostic methods become inevitable while estimating the severity of valvular regurgitation and in the transformation of cardiac chambers as in reaction to the volume overload condition. Lately, a promising new technology, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAM-An Aquivalence-based Dynamic Mass Balance Model for the Fate of Non-Volatile Organic Chemicals in the Agricultural EnvironmentMohammad A. Batiha, Abdul Amir H. Kadhum, Abu Bakar Mohamad et al.A Multimedia Agricultural Model (MAM) for predicting the fate and transport of Non-Volatile Organic Chemicals (NVOCs) in the agricultural environment was presented. It is an expanded and modified version of the three compartmental model introduced by Batiha and co-authors in 2007, which is an aquivalence-based level IV. MAM considered five environmental compartments to include the air, water, soil, sediment and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of the Detoxification on the Shrinkage Temperature and pH of Chromium Leather Waste, Another Promising Way for the Tannery PollutionA. Malek, M. HachemiThe leather tannery industry produces a significant amount of solid chromium waste. Environmental concerns and escalating landfill costs are becoming increasingly serious problems to the leather industry and alternative disposal methods are needed. This research describes the possibility of decrease of the shrinkage temperature and to increase the pH value of leather waste by detoxification treatment with use of tartrate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between MMP-3, TIMP-3 Expression and Neuronal Apoptosis After Ischemia -Reperfusion Injury in RatesZi Xiaohong, Mutasem Abuhamed, Yuan Yi et al.Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a central role in many biological processes, such as embryogenesis, normal tissue remodeling, wound healing, and angiogenesis. How MMP3, TIMP3 expression and neuronal apoptosis (Fas, Fas-L and Bcl) may provide detrimental or beneficial actions during the injury and repair processes after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rates was studied. Adult rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmobilization of Lipase from Candida Rugosa on Palm-Based Polyurethane Foam as a Support MaterialRoila Awang, Mohd Rafaei Ghazuli, Mahiran BasriLipase from Candida rugosa was immobilized onto palm-based polyurethane foam (PU), which the polymer was pre-soaked in co-immobilized agent. The activities of PU-immobilized lipase were tested by the esterification reaction of oleic acid and oleyl alcohol in hexane. The PU-immobilized lipase was then characterized in term of its thermal, operational and storage stability. The optimum temperature for native and PU-immobilized … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
