In this study, pyrolysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduced Production of α-Tocotrienol by Co-Suppression of Tocopherol Cyclase Gene in Vegetable CropsUmaiyal Munusamy, Siti Nor Akmar Abdullah, Maheran Abdul Aziz et al.This study involves the induced production of α-tocotrienol by the co-suppression of tocopherol cyclase gene. The Tocopherol/Tocotrienol Cyclase (TC) is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of α-tocotrienol. The partial conserved cDNA of TC gene isolated from the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) that shared greater than 75% sequence identity with TC sequences from other plant species was used to … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Metalloid Compound and Bio-Solution Additives on Biodiesel Engine Performance and Exhaust EmissionsKaroon Fangsuwannarak, Kittichai TriratanasirichaiThe purpose of this study is to perform comparative analysis of the effect of the different fuel additives as polymer based-bio-solution, natural organic based-bio-solution and nano-titanium metalloid (TiO2) compound on the performance parameters and exhuast emissions of a pickup Diesel engine, operating on commercial Diesel fuel (D) and B5 palm biodiesel (95% D+5% palm oil). The basic properties of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 5 Sep 2013 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysico-Chemical Characteristics of Date Seed Oil Grown in SudanRehab Salih Mahmoud Abdalla, Alsheikh AlGilani Albasheer, Abdel Rahim Mohamed ELHussein, ELrasheed Ahmed GadkariemProblem statement: Studies were conducted on the physical-chemical properties of Sudanese date seed oil extracted from two date palm cultivars (Phoenix dactylifera L.) ALBarakawi and Alqundeila. The extracted oil from ALBarakawi seeds weighed 6.833% w/w oil, Alqundeila oil extracted weighed 5.064% w/w. Approach: The physical properties of ALBarakawi oil were: viscosity: 17cp, refractive Index: 1.444, density: 0.9116 g cm-3 color: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 5 May 2012 · 9,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPesticide use in South and South-East Asia: Environmental Public Health and Legal ConcernsAbhik GuptaProblem statement: The South and South East Asian countries are characterized by their rich biodiversity as well as cultural diversity. Agricultural expansion for livelihood security is leading to an increase in pesticide application in this region. It has been observed that because of the hot and humid conditions prevalent in this region, most farmers and pesticide applicators do not use … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 12 Mar 2012 · 8,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Electricity Planning Comprise Renewable Energy and Feed-In TariffHo Wai Shin, Haslenda HashimProblem statement: Mitigation of global warming and energy crisis has called upon the need of an efficient tool for electricity planning. This study thus presents an electricity planning tool that incorporates RE with Feed in-Tariff (FiT) for various sources of Renewable Energy (RE) to minimize grid-connected electricity generation cost as well as to satisfy nominal electricity demand and CO2 emission … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2012 · 8,695 accessesView PDFCite
