Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Characteristics of Maize Cob Briquette under Moderate Die PressurePatomsok WilaiponThe potential energy content of maize cob available in Thailand was calculated based on maize productivity, the residue-to-product ratio and the heating value of maize cob. It was found that the computed value was about 74.2 PJ/year. Besides, the potential energy value exceed 1,000 TJ/year was also reported for the case of five provinces of Thailand. Concerning with maize cob … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Canadian Regulations and Remediation Methods for Diesel Oil Contaminated SoilsD. G. Rushton, A E. Ghaly, K. MartinellDiesel fuel released into the environment can contaminate ground water, degrade potable water supplies and cause the collapse of fisheries. They are toxic to both animals and humans and can affect the liver, lungs, kidneys, and nervous system leading to cancer as well as immunological and reproductive effects. The objectives of this study were to review current Canadian regulations pertaining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 8,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing PLC for Custom-design of a PID/PWM Program to Control a Heater TemperatureMohammad A.K. AliaThis is a practical approach to control a continuous-time process variable (temperature) using a discrete controller (PLC) and a custom-designed software control algorithm and hardware interface, in a closed-loop system. Unlike the conventionally known technique of transforming a digital control action into a proportional analogue one by a D/A converter followed by power amplifier, the control action was formed internally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCrystallisation and Melting Behavior of Methyl Esters of Palm OilCheng Sit Foon, Yung Chee Liang, Noor Lida Habi Mat Dian et al.The methyl esters of palm oil, which consists of saturated and unsaturated esters (0.6 to 95.9% unsaturation) of the C12 to C18 fatty acids, solidify at the two temperature ranges, -52 to -45°C and -24 to 21°C, when the esters are cooled. When the esters are heated, they melt at two distinct temperatures, -25 and -33°C and a broad peak … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 7,055 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Effect of Counterface Materials on Interface Temperature and Friction Coefficient of GFRE Composite Under Dry Sliding ContactN. S.M. El-Tayeb, B. F. Yousif, P. V. BrevernNowadays, there is an increase interest in polymeric composite materials for high-performance in many industrial applications. In other words, the tribo-studies on polymeric materials are growing fast to enhance the polymeric products such as bearings, seals, ring and bushes. The current work presents an attempt to study the correlation between the type of counterface material and frictional heating at the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarmonic Elimination of Inverters using Blind Signal SeparationB. Justus Rabi, R. ArumugamHarmonics cause major problems in power system due to non linear loads. With the rapid growth in the utilization of the rectifier for critical loads, e.g. In computer or medical equipment the need for high quality uninterruptible power is increasing. The non-linear current drawn by the rectifier loads distort the output of UPS system. Mainly because of output filter impedance … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndigenous Methods in Preserving Bush Mango Kernels in CameroonZac Tchoundjeu, Alain Rene Atangana, Ann DegrandeTraditional practices for preserving Irvingia wombolu and Irvingia gabonensis (bush mango) kernels were assessed in a survey covering twelve villages (Dongo, Bouno, Gribi [East], Elig-Nkouma, Nkom I, Ngoumou [Centre], Bidjap, Nko’ovos, Ondodo [South], Besong-Abang, Ossing and Kembong [Southwest]), in the humid lowland forest zone of Cameroon. All the interviewed households that own trees of species were found to preserve kernels … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Optical and Physical Roles of a Dielectric Laser Dye Solvent Which Affects on the Dye Laser OperationRiyad A.M. GhazyIt is well known that when the pump laser beam incidence on the laser dye liquid it will be absorbed. This absorption tends to heat the laser active medium, which is the laser dye solution. In view of this the correlated property of that active medium well change tends to shift the operated frequency and wavelength. Therefore, one of most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,866 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpectrofluorimetric, Atomic Absorption Spectrometric and Spectrophotometric Determination of Some FluoroquinolonesHesham SalemSimple, accurate, sensitive and selective spectrofluorimetric, atomic absorption spectrometric and spectrophotometric methods are described for the quantitative determination of ten fluoroquinolones (amifloxacin, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, difloxacin hydrochloride, enoxacin, enrofloxacin, lomefloxacin hydrochloride, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin and pefloxacin mesylate). The first method was a spectrofluorimetric method in which samples of the studied drugs in 0.1 N H2SO4 showed native fluorescence at 450 nm … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis, Characterization and Saponification of Poly (AN)-Starch Composites and Properties of their HydrogelsA. Hashem, M. A. Afifi, E. A. El-Alfy, A. HebeishHydrogels based on saponified products of poly (acrylonitrile, AN)-starch composites were prepared, characterized and their water abosrbency properties examined. The term composite refered to the resultant products of polymerizatin of AN with starch in presence of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as initiator, that is the composite consists of poly(AN)-starch graft copolymer, homopoly(AN) , oxidized starch and unreacted starch. Thus AN … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
