Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Biodiversity Screening for Metal Accumulators from Mineral Ore Rich Site in Andhra Pradesh, IndiaAditya Kumar Sarkar, Susmita Roy, Ananya Pal et al.Problem statement: Since the site selected for screening was a source of magnetite, the objective of this study was to isolate some groups of magnetotactic bacteria and microbes with potential of metal accumulation. Approach: The culture based approach was used for the study. Pure isolates obtained were characterized on the basis of morphology, biochemical tests, physiology as well as at … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugarcane Phenological Date Estimation Using Broad-Band Digital CamerasMobasheri, M. Chahardoli, J. Jokar, M. FarajzadehIn the agricultural industry, precision farming is the most important task that attracts lots of attentions. The health of the plant depends mostly on the amount of water in its access that can be estimated through vegetation indices. These indices can be extracted from satellite images through Image processing algorithms. The objective of this research was to provide an equation … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of C*-Integral in Thin T-Sections Subjected to Projection and Remote Loading Base on Elastic Stress Concentration FactorA.R. Gowhari-Anaraki, F. Djavanroodi, S. ShadlouThe finite element method has been used to predict the creep rupture parameter, C*-Integral of flat T-section bar subjected to loaded projection and remote loading with a crack or crack-like flaw introduced in the fillet (i.e., high stress) region of the component. In this study, a new dimensionless creeping crack configuration factor, Q* has been introduced. Power low creeping finite … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Effective Data Transformation Approach for Privacy Preserving ClusteringR. R. Rajalaxmi, A. M. NatarajanA new stream of research privacy preserving data mining emerged due to the recent advances in data mining, Internet and security technologies. Data sharing among organizations considered to be useful which offer mutual benefit for business growth. Preserving the privacy of shared data for clustering was considered as the most challenging problem. To overcome the problem, the data owner published … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,117 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Barley for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater in a Hydroponics SystemA.M. Snow, A.E. GhalyBarley was examined for its ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. The effects of seed sterilization using ethanol and bleach and seed density on germination and plant growth were investigated. Surface sterilization of barley seeds had a negative impact on germination. Increasing the ethanol concentration and/or the bleach concentration reduced the germination percentage. Barley seeds were first germinated in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,489 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Metal Effect on Hydrogen Production Using C.acetobutylicumHisham Alshiyab, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffThis study was carried out to study the effect of trace metal addition for hydrogen production The results show that this bacterial need a selected nutrient with selected concentration. The optimum parameters for cultivation were at initial pH of 7.0 and temperature of 30°C. Trace metal addition to the new medium showed that only iron enhanced the H2 yield. The … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Hydroponically Grown Macrophytes for Their Suitability as Fish FeedA. M. Snow, Abdel E. GhalyWater hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather plants were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater at two retention times. During the experiment, the aquatic plants grew rapidly in the hydroponics system and appeared healthy with green color. At hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6 and 12 days, the average water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison Effects of Sucrose and Date Palm Syrup on Somatic Embryogenesis of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L )Abdullatif AlkhateebThe effect of different concentration of date palm syrup (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%) and sucrose at concentration of 30 and 60 g/l in addition to the control (without carbon source) on the micro propagation of date palm "cv. Suckary" were investigated. The results indicated that date syrup was taken up from the media as shown by the increase … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,987 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Assessment of Hydroponically Grown Cereal Crops for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater and the Production of Fish FeedA. M. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, A. SnowHydroponically grown wheat, barley and oats were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. Wheat, barley and oats seeds were germinated in water in a hydroponics system. The seedlings then received wastewater from an aquaculture system stocked with Arctic charr. During the experiment, the crops grew rapidly and fairly uniformly and showed no signs of mineral deficiency … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGamma Radiosensitivity Study on Chili (Capsicum annuum)Shairul Rizdiyandi Omar, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Shaharudin Saamin, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidInduced mutation by gamma irradiation has been found to be a very useful technique for crop improvement. Apart from this, the proper use of induced mutation in plant breeding has become a profitable approach. This investigation was carried out to determine the LD50 and effect of gamma rays on germination, plant height, survival percentage, root length, root dry weight and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 9,039 accessesView PDFCite
