Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDifferent Eye Physiology of Mud Crab (Scylla Serrata) in Different Life Stage Found in Semarang Territorial WatersAristi Dian Purnama Fitri, Herry Boesono, Agus Sabdono, Fahresa NugraheniMud crabs use their eyes function to guide their movement activities i.e., to avoid predator and to support their environment orientation. In tropical environment such as Indonesia, mud crabs live in mangrove area as their habitat. To support their visual acuity, mud crabs depend on the number of con sell as photoreceptor and carapace width. The purpose of this study … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2018 · 8,815 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudies on Environmental Impact Assessment of Reinforced Concrete in Different Life Cycle PhasesJair Frederico Santoro, Moacir KripkaConcrete is one of most used materials in construction and also one of the main responsible for the emission of carbon dioxide, or CO2, in the atmosphere. Thus, in order to study ways to reduce this impact, it is important to evaluate the influence of each raw material of the reinforced concrete, as well as the phases of the life … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 2 Jan 2018 · 8,218 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThere is Life on Mars?Relly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.If you can live on Mars, or if there was life on this planet, it's a natural question. The population of our planet has far outstripped the boundaries from which the planet begins to overcrow. Global resources are decreasing, while their consumption is rising more and more. The world's population is growing, it needs housing, food, water, air, clothes, transport, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2017 · 8,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of a Small Group Life Story Intervention with Rural Community Dwelling Older AdultsLillian Felicia Jones, Mary A. NiesTo determine if a small group life story nursing intervention can be beneficial to rural community dwelling older adults by decreasing depression scores and increasing perceived social support scores. This study employed a quasi-experimental one group pretest/posttest design. This study was conducted in thirteen rural senior facilities with a community population of less than 20,000 in two western states in … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Oct 2017 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Curing Temperature and MMA Content on the Working Life of MMA-Modified Vinyl Ester Polymer ConcreteKi-Bong Choi, Seung-Ho Min, Kyu-Seok YeonThe main purpose of this study is to identify the effects of curing temperature and methyl methacrylate (MMA) content on the working life of vinyl ester polymer concreteusing MMA as a monomer, N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMP) and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKPO) as initiators and cobalt naphthenate as a promoter. The results have shown that the working life of vinyl ester polymer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2017 · 7,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFatigue Life Prediction of Screw Blade in Screw Sand Washing Machine under Random Load with Gauss DistributionJie Gong, Yun-Fei Fu, Wen Xia et al.The purpose of this study is to present a new method for estimating the fatigue life of the screw blade in the screw sand washing machine. To ensure the accuracy of numerical simulation, the loading area and the value of load are determined by means of the theoretical analysis. To ascertain the location of the stress peak and stress range, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 8,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Basic Elements of Life'sRaffaella Aversa, Victoria Petrescu, Antonio Apicella, Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe four basic elements of life are: Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and phosphorus.
