Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY ANALYSIS OF POLYPHENOL RECOVERY FROM ARTICHOKE WASTEAntonio ZuorroLarge amounts of a solid waste consisting mainly of outer bracts and stems are produced from the industrial processing of artichokes. In this study, the recovery of polyphenols from the two waste components was investigated. Extraction experiments were carried outby an environmentally friendly procedure using aqueous ethanol as solvent. The total polyphenol content, expressed as mg of GAE per g … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 3 Jul 2014 · 7,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUSE OF CRUMB RUBBER TO IMPROVE THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF CEMENT-BASED MATERIALSAshraf Fadiel, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie FiniMotivated by the tremendous trend toward green environment and to reduce the effect of scrap tires on the environment and human health, this research is an attempt to find a practical and environmentally sound solution of the problem of scrap tires by developing a light weight with low thermal conductivity composite construction materials using waste tires. A few literatures may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 12,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQOS BASED SELECTION AND COMPOSITION OF WEB SERVICES-A FUZZY APPROACHN. Hema Priya, A. M. Shobana Priya, S. ChandramathiWeb Services are emerging technologies which satisfy users’ requests on the Web. Selecting appropriate services to suit the needs is a huge task. There are a huge number of service providers who offer same type of service, with differences in functional and non functional qualities. A few users may need multiple services at the same moment. So composition of services … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 18 Jan 2014 · 6,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImaging Spectroscopy and Light Detection and Ranging Data Fusion for Urban Features ExtractionMohammed Idrees, Helmi Zulhaidi Mohd Shafri, Vahideh SaeidiThis study presents our findings on the fusion of Imaging Spectroscopy (IS) and LiDAR data for urban feature extraction. We carried out necessary preprocessing of the hyperspectral image. Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF) transforms was used for ordering hyperspectral bands according to their noise. Thereafter, we employed Optimum Index Factor (OIF) to statistically select the three most appropriate bands combination from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 28 Oct 2013 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlattening Effect on Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Sintered-Wick Heat PipeWeeranut Intagun, Pradit Terdtoon, Phurt SakulchangsatjataiThe effect of pipe flattening on heat transfer characteristics and the internal phenomena of a sintered-wick heat pipe has been investigated by using three-dimensional Finite Element Method. The calculation domains were focused at three important regions, i.e., vapor core, wick and wall. The Cartesian coordinates and the three-dimensional tetrahedral elements were applied in this model. The selected total elements were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 4 Jul 2013 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid of Fuzzy Clustering Neural Network Over NSL Dataset for Intrusion Detection SystemDahlia Asyiqin Ahmad Zainaddin, Zurina Mohd HanapiIntrusion Detection System (IDS) is one of the component that take part in the system defence, to identify abnormal activities happening in the computer system. Nowadays, IDS facing composite demands to defeat modern attack activities from damaging the computer systems. Anomaly-Based IDS examines ongoing traffic, activity, transactions and behavior in order to identify intrusions by detecting anomalies. These technique identifies … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 4 May 2013 · 6,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Heavy Metals Contents for Some Cigarettes BrandsLucien Agbandji, Edorh A. Patrick, Georges B. Gbago et al.According certain studies, smoking could be associated with an increase of health risk link to heavy metals and these risks would be more important in developed countries. So, this study attempted to verify these informations throuth the comparison of the levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) nickel (Ni) and arsenic (As) in some cigarettes sold in Benin and France. Composite … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2013 · 8,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsing Model for Conductive Percolation in Electrically Conductive Adhesives by Considering Random Arrangement of Conducting ParticlesMora, Sahrul Saehana, Euis Sustini et al.Problem statement: Thermodynamically, particles in composites will arrange in a way such that the Helmholtz free energy is minimized. However, even a single structure has the lowest free energy, it should not ignore the probability of other structures having larger energies to occur, although at small chances. Approach: All possible arrangements of particles in the composites, therefore, must be taken … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 30 May 2012 · 7,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThreat of the Health Quality of Garden Produces Linked to Pollution by Toxic Metals on Some Gardening Sites of BeninKoumolou Luc, Edorh A. Patrick, Agbandji Lucien et al.Problem statement: Water and soil are vital resources used in agriculture. Current data establish a link between the pollution of soil, water and public health. For this reason, this study attempted to establish a link between the level of pollution of garden sites in lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Arsenic (As) and the health quality of vegetables grown there, through … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Apr 2012 · 7,668 accessesView PDFCite
