Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review: Biodegradation and Applications of Keratin Degrading Microorganisms and Keratinolytic Enzymes, Focusing on Thermophiles and Thermostable Serine ProteasesWirojne Kanoksilapatham, Weeranut IntagunKeratins are hard-degrading fibrous proteins, insoluble in water and organic solvents, often accumulated in nature and major components in feathers, skins, hair, horn, nail, hoof etc., Keratin-degrading microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, actinomycetes and fungi employ keratinases to attack keratin. Keratinases belonging to subtilisin-like serine proteases were classified based on similarity of amino acid sequences. Keratinolytic thermophilic or hyperthermophilic bacteria … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 10 Nov 2017 · 9,986 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractSteady State Groundwater Flow Modeling of an Ex-Landfill Site in Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaMustapha Atta, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob, Othman Bin JaafarEffective and rational management of groundwater resources require adequate information on the groundwater flow interactions with surface water and chemical species in the flow regime. The hydrologic conditions beneath the unlined ex- landfill site in Jinjang Kuala Lumpur were investigated to understand the groundwater flow and geochemical setting in which contaminants transport in the groundwater may occur in the ex-landfill. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 30 Oct 2015 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTIME SERIES MODELING OF MONTHLY RAINFALL IN ARID AREAS: CASE STUDY FOR SAUDI ARABIANidhal SaadaStochastic techniques are essential in planning and management of water resources systems especially in arid and semi-arid areas where water is scarce. The forecasting of future events requires identifying proper stochastic models to be used in this process. For this purpose, a Periodic ARMA (PARMA) model and a temporal disaggregation models were used in this study to investigate weather they … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 May 2014 · 7,207 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNasal Administration of Quercetin Liposomes Modulate Cognitive Impairment and Inhibit Acetylcholinesterase Activity in HippocampusTerdthai Tong-Un, Supaporn Muchimapura, Wathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn WattanathornProblem statement: Oxidative stress is a major factor implicated in the degeneration of cholinergic neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Several reports have indicated that antioxidant intake is beneficial to delay or inhibit the progression of this disease. Presently, Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors are the mainstay of therapy for AD. Quercetin, one of the flavonoids in fruits and vegetables, has a powerful … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,173 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpecies Composition, Ecological Parameters and Seasonal Changes of Planktonic Ciliates Population in Bukan Dam ReservoirA. Mohsenpour Azary, F. Mohebbi, A. Eimanifar et al.Problem Statement: Since there is no evidence to identify present species in the Bukan dam reservoir, therefore, this study was conducted to provide background for fisheries purposes. Approach: The abundance and species composition of ciliates were analyzed in the Bukan Dam reservoir (west Azerbaijan, Iran) from January to December 2007. Surface water samples were collected at monthly intervals at two … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
