Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Time, Temperature and Pressure on the Creasing of Wool/Polyester Blended FibersBrian F.G. KatzStudies investigating the response of a natural/synthetic blended material to variations of time, temperature and pressure with respect to induced deformations have been carried out. Such a material is interesting due to its complexity of responses which are dependent on the nature of each fiber. The study’s sample was a wool/polyester blend with a 45/55 composition respectively. This combination is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2021 · 6,397 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOn the Pulsewidth Analysis in the Presence of PMD and PDL in Optical Fibers Using Neural Network AlgorithmA. Sivasubramanian, V. C. RavichandranIn long haul networks, the random birefringence induced in the optical fiber leads to a considerable Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD). Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) mainly occurs in optical components and depends on the state of polarization of optical signals. The presence of PMD and PDL causes pulsewidth narrowing and the pulsewidth reduction depends on states of polarization at which the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiochemical Composition and Nutraceutical Perspectives Red Sea SeaweedsEman A. AlwaleedSeaweeds are marketed as “nutraceuticals” owing to their highly bioactive ingredients as well as food supplements in order to relinquish physiological conditions and resist diseases. In the current study, the biochemical compositions (total protein, carbohydrate, lipid, fatty acids, amino acid, minerals and dietary fibers) of the seaweeds Caulerpa racemosa, Digenea simplex, Sargassum polycystum and Cystoseria myrica were evaluated. Digenea simplex … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 12 · 23 Jan 2020 · 7,600 accessesView PDFCite

BharanichandarThe invention is an effort to utilize the advantages offered by renewable resources for the development of composite materials based on polymer and particles of natural fibers for Conservation of natural resources. In this research, natural fibers like Sisal (Agave sisalana), Banana (Musa sepientum) and Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), Sisal and banana (hybrid), Roselle and banana (hybrid) and Roselle and sisal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 17 Jan 2014 · 17,331 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRooting Responses of Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) Softwood Cuttings as Affected by Indole Butyric AcidXing Wei Chen, Thohirah Lee Abdullah, Nur Ashikin Psyquay Abdullah, Siti Aishah HassanLarge scale productions of miracle fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) faces some restrictions as the seeds are recalcitrant and propagation by cuttings is difficult to root. When grown from seed, miracle fruit takes 3 to 4 years to begin fruiting. A propagation technique by cuttings needs to be devised to produce early fruiting planting materials. However there has been no report on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2012 · 10,062 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProperties of Fly Ash Based Coconut Fiber CompositeK. Saravana Raja Mohan, P. Jayabalan, A. RajaramanThe present paper reports the results of a study undertaken in enhancing properties of fly ash concrete composites-FMCC with locally available natural fiber. In this context a composite with fly ash, concrete and treated coconut fibers-available in plenty in rural areas of India-can be a good proposition and with this background, experimental investigation to study the effects of replacement of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2012 · 9,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance of Thin-Film as Wavelength Filter in Wdm-Pof NetworkMohd Syuhaimi Ab. Rahman, L. S. Supian, Hadi Guna et al.Problem statement: Huge capacity for data transmission and bandwidth are becoming a need nowadays. High cost of implementation using optical fibers prevents utilization of the technology as wide as possible. Approach: Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) was a technique that offers the solution for providing better bandwidth. WDM technique allows several signals that have different wavelengths to be transmitted in a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 9 Dec 2011 · 7,270 accessesView PDFCite

De la Garza-Toledo et al.Problem statement: Biofuels production is becoming a key factor to help decrease pollution levels and the dependency of fossil fuels. Cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass is being used as a source of raw material for biofuels production, specifically bioethanol, so many ways to use it for this purpose are being developed. Approach: Cellulose content and enzymatic depolymerization of cellulose was evaluated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2011 · 8,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCellulolytic Enzymes Production by Solid State Culture Using Pecan Nut Shell as Substrate and SupportMiguel A. Medina-Morales, José L. Martínez-Hernández, Heliodoro de la Garza, Cristóbal Noé AguilarProblem Statement: Great interest in the use of lignocellulosic biomass is increasing in order to diminish the accumulation of residues, such as pecan nut shells. One of the alternatives is the fungal degradation of these residues. Approach: The capacity of Trichoderma (coded as T1, T2 and T3) strains to produce cellulase and xylonite was evaluated.
