Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe 2D Eulerian Approach of Entrained Flow and Temperature in a Biomass Stratified Downdraft GasifierA. Rogel, Jasni AguillónThis paper describes a “1-D+2-D” numerical model used to simulate the gasification of pine wood pellets in a stratified downdraft gasifier whereby Eulerian conservation equations are solved for particle and gas phase components, velocities and specific enthalpies. The model takes into account the biomass particle process such as heating up, drying, primary pyrolysis of biomass, secondary pyrolysis of tar, homogeneous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 7,252 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Hybrid Mobile Agent Protocol for Wireless Multihop Internet AccessA. Velmurugan, R. RajaramInternet-based Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) is an emerging technology that supports self-organizing mobile networking infrastructures. This is expected to be of great use in commercial applications for the next generation Internet users. A number of technical challenges are faced today due to the heterogeneous, dynamic nature of this hybrid MANET. A new hybrid routing scheme AODV_ALMA is proposed, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,119 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural and Immunological Characterization of Hepatitis C Core Protein-DNA Plasmid ComplexesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Yaraima Aguilera, Viviana Falcon et al.Recently, it has been shown that a truncated HCV core (HCcAg) variant, covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120), interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine (pIDKE2), encoding the HCV structural proteins (HCcAg, E1 and E2). In the present work, HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes, forming heterogeneous packaged structures, were visualized using a negative stain/rotary shadow technique. Interestingly, 72 hours after intramuscular injection of HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,743 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Application of Carhart Atom Pairs to Predict Anticonvulsant ActivityAlan Talevi, Julian J. Prieto, Luis E. Bruno-Blanch, Eduardo CastroAbout 50 million people in the world suffer from epilepsy, especially in childhood, adolescence and old age. Available treatment fails to control epilepsy in up to 30% of affected people. In developing countries, however, the amount of patients that do not receive adequate treatment climbs up to 75%. Moreover, the new generation of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) causes important central and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,857 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutonomic Middleware Services for Just-In-Time Grid Services ProvisioningWail M. Omar, A. Taleb-Bendiab, Yasir KaramThe advent of widespread distributed computing environment, such as information systems and computational grids computing has enabled a new generation of applications that are based on seamless access, aggregation and interaction. The dramatic side of the story is a strong presence of the plea that those decentralized Grids are potentially affected by a number of primitives derived from their anatomy, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,579 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Removal of 4-Chlorophenol and Dichloroacetic Acid in Water Using Ti-, Zr- and Ti/Zr-Pillared Bentonites as PhotocatalystMohamed Houari, Mohamed Saidi, Djamel Tabet et al.Heterogeneous photocatalysis could be alternative remediation technology for water since it does not need the addition of any chemicals and it is suitable for treating low concentrations of pollutant. Although the TiO2 Degussa P 25 is most used photocatalyst its photonic efficiency still low and its recovery from water is considered as an awkward process. In this study the effect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 7,518 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation of Cellulosic Membrane Containing Pyrrolidone Moiety Via Radiation Induced Grafting and its Application in Wastewater TreatmentA. S. Aly, H. H. Sokker, A. Hashem, A. HebeishRadiation induced grafting of vinyl pyrrolidone onto cellulose wood pulp was carried out in heterogeneous and homogenous media using gamma radiation. Cellulose wood pulp was used in different forms; a) in a homogenous solution by dissolving the wood pulp in N,N- dimethylacetamide/Lithium chloride (DMAc/LiCl) mixture , b) in a membrane form, by precipitating the cellulose solution in water and c) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,451 accessesView PDF Cite
