Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimated Acrylamide Intake from Coffee Consumption in Latin AmericaAna Carolina Vieira Porto, Otniel Freitas-Silva, Jeane Santos da Rosa, Leda Maria Fortes GottschalkThe presence of acrylamide in foods such as coffee can pose risks to human health. Coffee consumption and production in Latin America have increased in recent years. According to the FAO, world coffee consumption is divided into five groups of countries according to average yearly per capita consumption: (i) between 8.0 kg and 12 kg; (ii) between 4.1 kg and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 10 Jul 2015 · 7,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMelanoma-Associated Suppression of the Dendritic Cell Lines DC2.4 and JawsiiKristian Michael Hargadon, Yonathan Tarekegne Ararso, Osric Anthony Forrest, Chad Mason HarteDendritic cells function as potent regulators of both innate and adaptive immunity to tumors and the regulatory activities of these cells are tightly linked to their maturation and activation status. Despite the critical role played by dendritic cells in the induction of anti-tumor immune responses, the number of dendritic cells that can be isolated from experimental animals is limiting and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2012 · 9,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Leaf Total Nitrogen Content for Nitrogen Management in a Malaysian Paddy Field by Using Soil Plant Analysis Development Chlorophyll MeterA. Gholizadeh, M. S. M. Amin, A. R. Anuar, W. AimrunProblem statement: Laboratory plant testing is usually time-consuming and high-costing. Hence, plant nutrient variability must be measured rapidly and the information made known to the farmers before the new season starts. Site-specific crop management, well-established in some developed countries, is now being considered in other places such as Malaysia. Approach: The application of site-specific management principles and techniques to diverse … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,240 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAerobic Biostabilization of Old MSW LandfillsM.C. ZanettiMany years after the end of the cultivation phase, landfills may generate intense odours, toxic and explosive gases and heavily-polluted leachate. A wide-spreading trend in the management of MSW landfills is represented by the forced aeration of wastes in order to achieve the stabilization, reducing the negative environmental impact of uncontrolled sites (old landfills which can be definitely considered as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlants Responses to Nutrients Follow the Saturation Kinetic Typical of Enzyme Systems: Biological, Economical and Environmental ImplicationsR.P. LanaAgricultural efficiency has been associated with high plant productivity. However, it is dependent on fertilizers, which are nonrenewable resources. Crop production response to fertilizers is hyperbolic, following the Michaelis-Menten model and the law of diminishing return. Data of crop production (barley, bean, corn, cotton, soybean and wheat) as a function of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,898 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSomething about a Railbound Forging ManipulatorRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuHeavy payload forging manipulators are mainly characterized by large load output and large capacitive load input. The relationships between outputs and inputs have greatly influenced the control and reliability. Forging manipulators have become more prevalent in the industry today. They are used to manipulate objects to be forged. The most common forging manipulators are moving on a railway to have … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 8 May 2019 · 7,093 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Progress in Self-Cleaning Materials with Different Suitable ApplicationsSiavash Hosseinpour Chermahini, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Saeid Eslamian, Vijay P. SinghSelf-cleaning properties have received significant attention for the importance of their potential. Coatings at Nano-scales offer possibilities of using materials for self-cleaning surfaces. Recent efforts have begun to focus on the kinds of materials including metals, semiconductors and polymers. Such materials can have enormous potential in only a few applications. Moreover, the production of these materials requires high costs with … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2018 · 9,140 accessesView PDFCite

The aim of the research is to study and to prove the effective way of presowing treatment of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2017 · 7,244 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Microfinance on the Efficiency of Maize Producers in NigeriaMuhammad Auwal Ahmed, Zainalabidin Mohamed, Abdullahi Iliyasu, Golnaz RezaiThe study applies descriptive analysis, Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) of efficiency model and fractional regression model to data collected in 2016 using cross-sectional survey of maize producers in Nigeria. The purpose was to determine the impact of microfinance on the technical efficiency of maize producers and evaluates factors that influence inefficiency among credit beneficiaries and non-credit beneficiaries. Results show that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 30 May 2017 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl of Subterranean Termite Coptotermes Curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) by Entomopathogen Metarhizium Anisopliae Var. Anisopliae Cultured in Liquid State FermentationVei-Ting Nyam, Choon-Fah J. Bong, Jie-Hung P. KingSolid state fermentation has been used for mass production of Metarhizium anisopliae many years ago. However, solid state fermentation was time consuming, costly and unable to produce in large amount. We examined the suitability of liquid state fermentation to mass produce M. anisopliae and the effect of culture medium on fungal pathogenicity. Three different liquid medium selected for this study … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 Apr 2015 · 7,536 accessesView PDFCite
