Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalysis of Constituents and Bacteriostatic Activity of Essential Oil Extracted from Sea Buckthorn Seeds by Different MethodsHepeng Zhao, Fuyin Zhao, Qian Xiao et al.Sea buckthorn is a homologous plant listed in Chinese pharmacopoeia. The Essential Oils (EOs) of Sea Buckthorn Seeds (SBTS) are widely used in medicine and health products in China, Russia and other countries. The extraction methods of SBTS with advantages of low cost, high yield and high activity have attracted considerable attention. In this study, the extraction rate, chemical compositions … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2021 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordGreenhouse Gas Mitigation Strategies for Container Shipping IndustryLin Shimin, Wong Yiik DiewWith the onset of the first ever Greenhouse Gas (GHG) regulation for ships by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in 2011, the container shipping industry requires the combined use of technical and operational emissions reduction measures to improve the environmental performance of its vessels. Studies show that most existing measures are cost effective with a range of emissions reduction potential. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 14 Feb 2013 · 8,000 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEnhancement of Biogas Production Potential for Anaerobic Co-digestion of Wastewater using Decanter CakeThaniya Kaosol, Narumol SohgrathokThe wastewater from agro-industry treated with the biological treatment cannot produce the biogas because of its low COD level and its low organic content. In this research, the co-digestion with decanter cake will improve the biogas yield and biogas production of wastewater. The effect of three parameters (i.e., type of wastewater, mixing and mesophilic temperature) will be evaluated in batch … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2013 · 7,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA screen for Benzo(a)pyrene in Fish Samples From Crude Oil Polluted EnvironmentsChimezie Anyakora, Mohsen Arbabi, Herbert CokerSeveral studies have shown that exposure to Benzo(a)pyrene increases the risk of cancer. In this study several fish samples from Niger the Delta region of Nigeria were screened for the presence of Benzo(a)pyrene. The study was carried out using Gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometry detector.
