Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteria of the Clostridium Genus, Methane and Hydrogen Sulfide in Sulfide Mud of the Taman Peninsula ReservoirsYury Aleksandrovich Fedorov, Gar'kusha Dmitry Nikolayevich, Roman Gennad'yevich TrubnikThe features of the distribution of the concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, methane and the number of sulfite-reducing clostridia in the mud of the Bugazsky, Kiziltashsky and Vityazevsky limans and Chembursky lake were studied, and their physiological and chemical conditions and levels of anthropogenic loading were assessed. The tendency of reduction of the content of the studied reduced gases from the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2018 · 7,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGilsonite Modified Asphalt for Use in Pavement ConstructionAliasghar Akbari Nasrekani, Mostafa Nakhaei, Koorosh Naderi et al.Properties such as durability and moisture resistance of asphalt concrete significantly improve pavement service life. When siliceous aggregate is used, then preventing moisture damage and stripping become distinctly required. Typically, stripping could be prevented by either using antistripping agents or by modifying the binders. The anti-stripping agent achieve its purpose by changing the aggregates' affinity for water through changing the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2018 · 9,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Approach to Modelling of Flood Hazards in the Rapidly Growing City of Osogbo, Osun State, NigeriaSuleiman Abdul-Azeez Adegboyega, Oluchi Christiana Onuoha, Komolafe Akinola Adesuji et al.In recent times, the swift and uncoordinated urban expansion in the medium sized city of Osogbo has increasingly encroached on the environmental sensitive areas. This uncoordinated exploitation of the ecological fragile areas for urban development has triggered urban flooding, which poses serious threat to human lives and properties in the city. This study therefore utilized geospatial technologies to generate flood … …Space Science International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2018 · 13,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExocellular (1→6)-β-D-Glucan (Lasiodiplodan): Carboxymethylation, Thermal Behavior, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial ActivityThais Vanessa Theis, Gabrielle Cristina Calegari, Vidiany Aparecida Queiroz Santos et al.β-Glucans are biomacromolecules of industrial interest for its biological and technological properties, including ability to modify the rheology of food systems and different biological functionalities. In this study, lasiodiplodan an exocellular polysaccharide of the (1→6)-β-D-glucan type produced by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae MMPI was obtained in a bench-scale bioreactor operated in discontinuous mode. Lasiodiplodan produced was derivatized by carboxymethylation and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 8,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiaxial Fatigue Strength to Notched specimens made of 40CrMoV13.9Abedin Gagani, Raffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu et al.Fatigue is a process (succession of mechanisms) which under the action of time-varying strains or deformations modifies the local properties of a material. These can lead to the formation of cracks and eventual rupture of the structure. Fatigue is in particular characterized by an extent of variation in stress which may be well below the yield strength of the material. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2016 · 8,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmart-Factory: Optimization and Process Control of Composite Centrifuged PipesRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Antonio ApicellaProcess optimization strategies and intelligent control algorithms for an industrial centrifugal pipe production are presented. The chemo-rheological and thermo-kinetic features of the polymerization of unsaturated polyester based composites are analyzed by means of a mathematical model that uses the heat transfer and generation properties of polymerizable systems. The evolution of the system temperature, viscosity and degree of cure profiles in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 29 Nov 2016 · 8,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamics, Non-Linear Isotherms, Statistical Modeling and Optimization of Phosphorus Adsorption from WastewaterAkinpelu Kamoru BabayemiPalm Kernel Shell (PKN), an eco-friendly biomass, was carbonized and activated for the removal of phosphorus from wastewater through batch adsorption process. The studies evaluate the effects of pH, particle size, dosage and contact time on the adsorption capacity of the prepared adsorbent. The equilibrium concentration data and the amount of adsorption were described using non-linear regression analysis of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 19 Nov 2016 · 7,517 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractNew Opportunities for Fullerenes and for GrapheneClive DelmonteThis is a conjecture which defines a new class of electrically conducting polymer that chemically confines metals, ions or clusters within an electric potential constraining them to react in ways novel to chemistry. The polymers are planar on a planar surface and adhere as a П-bonded electron sheet to planar, electron-delocalized surfaces as in Fullerenes, graphene (both sides) and graphite. … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 1 Jan 2016 · 13,965 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULATION OF THE PROCESS OF FLOW SEPARATION AT THE ENTRANCE OF SQUARE ASPIRATING PORTOlga A. Averkova, Ilya V. Kryukov, Kirill V. Plotnikov et al.We consider the flow at the inlet to the suction square hole with sharp edges, which is located in an infinite space. The purpose of this study is to construct a mathematical model of flow separation at the entrance to square suction canal with sharp edges, located in infinite space, by using square vortex frameworks. As a part of ideology … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 12 Nov 2014 · 6,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProbing the Substrate Specificity and Intersubunit Interactions of Brevundimonas Diminuta Glutaryl Acylase with Site-Directed MutagenesisMichael Eldarov, Anna Lyashenko, Tatyana Sherbakova et al.Glutaryl-7-ACA acylases (GLA) are industrial enzymes widely used for the production of 7-aminocepahlosporanic acid (7-ACA)-the starting compound for manufacturing of semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotics. Generation of mutant GLA's with increased activity and stability, capability for single-step conversion of cephalosporin C (CPC) directly to 7-ACA is a promising route to improve the current biocatalytic technologies. In this study GLA from Brevundimonas diminuta … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2014 · 8,164 accessesView PDFCite
