Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Organoclay from Sodium Montmorillonite and Fatty Hydroxamic AcidsWisam H. Hoidy, Mansor B. Ahmad, Emad A. Jaffar Al Mulla, Nor Azowa Bt IbrahimProblem statement: Sodium Montmorillonite (Na-MMT) has been modified via cation exchange reaction using Fatty Hydroxamic Acids (FHAs) synthesized from palm oil as a surfactant to produce organoclay which is used to prepare polymer nanocomposites. Approach: Basal spacing, functional groups identification and thermal stability of this Organo-Montmorillonite (OMMT) were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 9,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Nanostructured Stress Free Pt-Rich FePt Films for Micro Electro Mechanical System ApplicationsT. M. Selvakumari, R. N. Emerson, S. GanesanProblem statement: The electroplating technique is especially interesting due to its low cost, high throughput and high quality of deposit. Magnetic thin films are extensively used in various electronic devices including high density recording media and Micro Electro Mechanical (MEMS) devices. So we examined FePt films and give good magnetic properties. Approach: The Pt-rich FePt alloys were electrodeposited galvanostatically by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Gold Nanoparticles by TryptophaneAzim Akbarzadeh, Davood Zare, Ali Farhangi et al.Problem statement: Preparation and synthesis of gold nanoparticles with small size and suitable stability is very important and applicable particularly in medicine. In this study, we have prepared gold nanoparticles by chemical reduction method employing L-Tryptophane as a reducing agent for ionic gold. Approach: The gold nanoparticles are the most employed amongst the different metallic nanoparticles in the fields of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 10,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals and Anion Levels in Some Samples of Vegetable Grown Within the Vicinity of Challawa Industrial Area, Kano State, NigeriaJ. C. Akan, F. I.A. Abdulrahman, V. O. Ogugbuaja, J. T. AyodeleProblem section: Effluents from the surrounding industries such as tannery and textile are used by vegetable farmers for the irrigation of their crops. These effluents may contain some toxic metals which bioaccumulate along the food chain. Moreover the uptake of such toxic metals by crops is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such crops may accumulate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effects of Covalent Cross-Linking on Proteolysis of Human Coproporphyrinogen Oxidase and Implications for PorphyriaAhmed W. Jafri, Jason R. Stephenson, Justin B. Morgenthaler et al.The effects of covalent cross-linkers on the enzyme, coproporphyrinogen oxidase, had been previously studied but their role in protecting the enzyme from protease cleavage has not been evaluated. Therefore, we examined how the cross-linker bis (sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate (BS3) affects the ability of trypsin to digest purified, wild type recombinant human coproporphyrinogen oxidase and selected mutants. Following incubation, the apparent molecular … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Metabolism Studies of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers Using Rat and Human Liver MicrosomesShun Wen Cheng, Kathleen Randall, Anne T. KotchevarA number of studies have recently reported the bioaccumulation of the commonly used fire retardants, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), in humans and wildlife. Exposure of animals to PBDEs has been shown to result in developmental neurological, reproductive abnormalities and the disruption of endocrine function. Thyroid hormone equilibria was also shown to be altered by PBDE exposure. There is evidence that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetals Concentrations in Tissues of Tilapia gallier, Crarias lazera and Osteoglossidae Caught from Alau Dam, Maiduguri, Borno State, NigeriaG.A. Dimari, F.I. Abdulrahman, J.C. Akan, S.T. GarbaAn analysis of intestine, liver, stomach and gill tissue concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Co, Pb, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cd and Zn) in three commercially important fish species (Tilapia gallier, Crarias lazera and Osteoglossidae. caught within Alau Dam between the periods of January to August, 2007. These heavy metals were determined using Perkin-Elmer AAnalyst 300 Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOxidative Stress in Autism: Elevated Cerebellar 3-nitrotyrosine LevelsElizabeth M. Sajdel-Sulkowska, Boguslaw Lipinski, Herb Windom et al.It has been suggested that oxidative stress and/or mercury compounds play an important role in the pathophysiology of autism. This study compared for the first time the cerebellar levels of the oxidative stress marker 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), mercury (Hg) and the antioxidant selenium (Se) levels between control and autistic subjects. Tissue homogenates were prepared in the presence of protease inhibitors from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies On Bioemulsifier Production by Bacillus licheniformis PTCC 1595Gholamreza D. Noudeh, Mohammad H. Moshafi, Payam Khazaeli, Farideh AkefSurfactants are amphipathic molecules which reduce surface and interfacial tensions and widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and petroleum industries. Biosurfactants are the structurally diverse group of surface-active molecules synthesized by microorganisms.
