Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing of Copper (II) Adsorption Efficiency by Mixing Plantain and Orange Peelings as Bio-Sorbent SupportSamomssa Inna, Ebelle Epoi Charlotte Alvine, Adjia Zangue Henriette, Sieliechi JosephThe present study focuses on the valorization of plantain and orange peels in the field of water treatment contaminated by heavy metals, especially copper (II). To carry out this study, simplex centroid mixture design was used to determine best mixture from plantain and orange peelings through iodine number, specific surface area and point of zero charge. The influence of contact … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 19 Oct 2020 · 6,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCrack Bridging and Deflection Toughening Mechanisms of Staggered Hydroxyapatite Lamellar Microstructure in BoneYuxi Liu, Xiaohui He, Shuge Li, Zhangdong SunThe observation experiment results of the microstructure of tibial cortical bone show that the cortical bone is a layered bio-ceramic composite material composed of Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and collagen arranged alternately. HAP is a reinforcing phase and accounts for a large proportion in cortical bone. These hydroxyapatites have long and thin sheet-like structures parallel to the outer surface of the bone, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2026 · 890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomorphological Indicators of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Fry: Comparative Analysis in the Conditions of the Lower Kolsay and Fish FarmsBarakov Rinat Tairovich, Abilov Berdibek Ibragimovich, Assylbekova Saule Zhangirovna et al.Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) is one of the key species in aquaculture of the salmon family due to its high commercial value and the availability of farming technology. This paper presents data on the morphometric characteristics of rainbow trout fry grown in three types of farms in Kazakhstan and wild forms from Lake Lower Kolsay. The comparison was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2026 · 1,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nano-Diamond CompositesAntonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThis paper discusses a new class of bio-mechanical scaffolds active for tissue engineering based on a nano-diamond-filled hydrophilic polymer matrix. The new biomaterials used have special mechanical and biological properties for which they should be extensively studied for their use for various advanced biomedical applications. The new hybrid material has been prepared using 2 and 5% by volume of detonating … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 May 2018 · 8,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Bio-Modified Montmorillonite Clay to Enhance Asphalt Oxidation ResistanceShahrzad Hosseinnezhad, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis study evaluates the effectiveness of using a Bio-modified Nanoclay additive (BNC) to reduce the oxidative aging of asphalt pavements. The study results through X-Ray Diffraction analysis showed that the modification of montmorillonite clay with bio-modifier increased the basal d-spacing of clay. The resulting nanoclay with increased interlayer spacing was chosen for application in asphalt binder. Rheological characterization of clay-modified … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 31 Mar 2018 · 9,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNano-Diamond Hybrid Materials for Structural Biomedical ApplicationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion T. PetrescuThe development of new diamond based bio-mechanically active hybrid nano-structured scaffolds for cartilage cells tissue engineering are proposed in this study. Innovative tissue engineering biomimetic materials based on hydrogel have shown attractive physical, biological and mechanical properties in several biomedical applications. A highly biocompatible novel hybrid material based on nanodiamonds and hydrophilic poly-(hydroxyl-ethyl-methacrylate) (pHEMA) is proposed. The aim of this … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2017 · 9,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrowave-Assisted Co-Pyrolysis of Bamboo Biomass with Plastic Waste for Hydrogen-Rich Syngas ProductionN. Saifuddin, P. Priatharsini, S.B. HakimConcerns about diminishing fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions are driving many countries to develop renewable energy sources. The knowledge of the dielectric property is essential to design and develop microwave technology for processing biomass materials. Bamboo biomass was subjected to microwave pyrolysis, to determine the influence of each process on the yield and composition of the derived gas, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 16 May 2016 · 9,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCastor Oil Based Epoxy/Clay Nanocomposite for Advanced ApplicationsAditi Saikia, Niranjan KarakBio-based hyperbranched and linear epoxy resins were synthesized from monoglyceride of Ricinus communis oil.
