Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptical Properties of the SiO2-Na2O-CaO-Nd2O3 GlassesP. Chimalawong, J. Kaewkhao, T. Kittiauchawal et al.Problem statement: This study researched on different physical and optical properties of Nd3+ doped soda-lime-silicate glass. The glasses containing Nd3+ in (65-x) SiO2: 25Na2O: 10CaO: xNd2O3 (where x = 0.0-5.0 mol%) had been prepared by melt-quenching method. The density and molar volume increase with increasing of Nd2O3 concentration due to increasing of Non Bridging Oxygens (NBOs) in glass matrix. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNew Insights into the Pre-Concentration of Alunite from a Siliceous ore using Froth FlotationFahimeh Dehghani, Halimeh Askari-Sabzkoohi, Tathagata GhoshAlunite is the main non-bauxite source of aluminum. Due to the low Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) of alunite, froth flotation, as a pre-concentration method, is a viable alternative to increase selectivity in downstream processes. The current study was aimed at investigating the pre-concentration of alunite using micro-flotation. In the first step, an optical microscope studies were done to determine DOF … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2020 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIntegrated Monitoring of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Analytical Chemistry and Biological Assessment ApproachesChangjin Li, Jing Huo, Zijun Dou et al.Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in aquatic environments pose significant threats to ecosystems and human health. These compounds interfere with hormonal regulation at low concentrations and have non-monotonic dose-response relationships, posing challenges to conventional risk assessment. This review systematically compares current EDC monitoring methods, including instrumental chemical analysis and receptor-based biological detection systems, to evaluate sensitivity thresholds, sample throughput, and mechanistic selectivity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 3 Jul 2026 · 1,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesScreening of Bioactive Constituents from the Aerial Parts of Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz. With Antioxidant, Immunoenhancing, and Anticoagulant PotentialJiaqi Sun, Shiyu Ji et al.The cultivation of Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz (DdT) is expensive and difficulty associated with growing, making its root bark the only commonly used medicinal part, while other parts are discarded. Therefore, in order to improve the limited utilization of resources, the new medicinal parts were screened from polysaccharide-rich aqueous extracts. The samples were the purified polysaccharides from the aerial part on … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 9 Oct 2025 · 2,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEnvironmental Effects of Biomass Carbon Modified Bioretention Pond Fill Layer in Sponge City GardensWen Cao, Beibei ZuWith the expansion of urban green areas, the resulting increase in green waste has become the second-largest solid waste in the city. Green waste contains a lot of minerals and the recycling of its resources has become the urgent task of urban green development. Biochar technology is more in line with the concept of green environmental protection in Sponge City. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 10 Jul 2024 · 4,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGreen Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using Extract of Disporopsis Longifolia for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene BlueKhieu Thi Tam, Dang Van Thanh, Huu Tap Van et al.In this report, the silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs)were successfully synthesized in a simple one-pot method by the leaf and stemextract of Disporopsis longifolia as reducing, capping agents, andstabilizers for the first time. The optimal extract amount, AgNO3concentration, reaction temperature, and time for the AgNPs synthesis wereidentified using Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 5 · 23 Nov 2022 · 6,563 accessesView PDFCite
