Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Marching Method for Computations of High-Speed Compressible Flow on Structured and Unstructured GridK.C. Ng, M.Z. Yusoff, K. Munisamy et al.The development of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) compressible codes for 2D structured quadrilateral grid and 3D unstructured hexahedral grid is described. The high-speed flow in a nozzle blade cascade is predicted numerically by solving the 2D/3D Euler Equations in a coupled manner. The new finite volume CFD solvers employ second-order accurate central differencing scheme for spatial discretization and multi-stage Runge-Kutta … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Determination of Buffering Capacity of Some Ruminant's Feedstuffs and their Cumulative Effects on TMR RationA. MoharreryTwo experiments have been conducted in order to investigate the buffering capacity of some ruminant's feedstuffs and their additivity to calculate ration buffering capacity as a tools for feed formulation. The first experiment was performed with different types (65 samples) of feedstuffs to determine the Buffering Capacity (BC) and Buffer Value Index (BVI). For investigation of cumulative effects of buffering … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite

A Discussion of the Welfare PrincipleCatharina Juul KristensenIn this study the common political discourse on the ‘challenge of immigration’ to the Danish welfare state is turned on its head. Instead of focusing on the costs and difficulties of immigration, the focus is first upon the challenge that recent policies on immigration and integration constitute to the principle of universalism; and second upon the ability of the principle … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of Agarose for Biosorption of Cu(II) In Aqueous SystemAnurag Pandey, Debabrata Bera, Anupam Shukla, Lalitagauri RayThe ability of agarose gel as an adsorbent for Cu(II) ions in aqueous solution was studied. The experiments were done as batch processes. Batch kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out under varying experimental conditions of contact time, Cu(II) ion concentration, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH. Adsorption equilibrium of agarose gel was reached within 4 h for agarose gel when … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,829 accessesView PDFCite
