Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidated High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Method for Analysis of Fenvalerate Pesticide in Chilies by QuEChERS Extraction Cleanup and High Liquid ChromatographyAhmed Ambarak Altorshani, Nor Kartini Abu Bakar, Eltayeb Elamin M. EidProblem statement: Contamination associated with pesticide use has increased as well, adversely impacting the environment and causing human health risks through residues on food. Approach: This study reports the extraction of Fenvalerate (FE) in chilies using QuEChERS based on High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) describes a simple, fast and inexpensive method. The chillie was extracted with acetonitrile Aliquots were cleaned-up … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Oil Contamination on Geotechnical Properties of Basaltic Residual SoilZulfahmi Ali Rahman, Umar Hamzah, Mohd. Raihan Taha et al.Problem statement: Oil contamination due to accidental spillage or leakage brings hefty damage to the environments. It percolates steadily into subsurface environments and contaminates the soil and water system. Hydrocarbon contamination has not just affected the quality of the soil but will also alter the physical properties of oil-contaminated soil. Approach: This study presented the geotechnical properties of oil-contaminated soils … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 10,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Some Pesticide Residues in Cauliflower by High Performance Liquid ChromatographySheheli Islam, Nazneen Afrin, Mohammad Shawkat Hossain et al.Problem statement: Increased use of chemicals on vegetables started gaining momentum and continued its up-trend in Bangladesh. Wide spread use of pesticides in agriculture concern of residue accumulation, which may remain in food and agricultural environment causing concern of human health and risking ecological balance. Attempt made to ensure that their applications were correct and safe and result in no … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBackscattered Acoustic Energy by Monobubbles Experimental Approach and Statistical Study of the AttenuationAli Khelil, Claude ManteProblem statement: As the number of air bubbles in the sea is very high, they are so many acoustic diffusers who make illegible the recordings the purpose of which is to quantify the alive bodies. The signals backscattered by air bubbles constitute a parasite in offshore recordings and must be eliminated. It is planned to finalize techniques allowing the localization … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Geomechanical Properties of Tropical Organic Soils and PeatBujang B.K. Huat, Afshin Asadi, Sina KazemianProblem statement: Organic soils and peat were believed to be geotechnically problematic due to their very high compressibility, very low shear strength and difficult accessibility. Although conventional soil mechanics theory could be applied to the soils, it was found that important anomalies existed which required special considerations. Correlations between geomechanical parameters for the soils were known to be important for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Inclination Angle on Performance Limit of a Closed-End Oscillating Heat PipeT. Hudakorn, P. Terdtoon, P. SakulchangsatjataiThis study presents the effect of inclination angle on the performance limit of a Closed-End Oscillating Heat Pipe (CEOHP). The study was divided into 2 corresponding parts. The first part was visual study. The CEOHP was made of Pyrex glass tube with the inner diameter of 1.0 mm, evaporator length of 50 mm and had 10 meandering turns. The lengths … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering Properties and Compressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat SoilYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper presents the engineering properties and compressibility behavior of various types of tropical peat soil collected from several locations in Malaysia. These soils represented fibric, hemic and sapric type of tropical peat with organic content ranging from 70% to 90%. The correlations of the various basic engineering properties of the tropical peat soils have been found to be close … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Performance of EPS Footing for Lightweight Farm Structure on Peat SoilMohammad Abdullah, Bujang B.K. Huat, Rezuwan Kamaruddin et al.The objective of this research project was to find a potential replacement for the conventional pile foundation principally for peat soil. It is fundamentally meant for lightweight and impermanent agricultural farm structures. Preceding the design and development of the foundation the physical characteristics of the in-situ peat such as; peat depth, soil consolidation, soil compressibility, water table, liquid limit, soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Geotechnical Properties of Penang Residual Soils with Emphasis on LandslidesFauziah Ahmad, Ahmad Shukri Yahaya, Mohd Ahmadullah FarooqiThe predominantly hilly terrain of Penang Island combined with average maximum daily temperatures ranging between 27-35°C and peak rainfall as high as 647 cm makes the overall area potentially susceptible to landslips. Over the recent past construction industry has shown a rapid growth mainly due to increase in the inflow of international tourists and other economic reasons. Eventually, the magnitude … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Chemical Admixtures on the Engineering Properties of Tropical Peat SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Thamer A. Mohamed, Shukri MaailThis research describes a study on the effect of chemical (cement and lime) admixtures on the index and engineering properties (compaction and unconfined strength) of tropical peat soils. The ordinary Portland cement and hydrated lime were used. The amounts cement and lime added to the peat soil sample, as a percentage of the dry soil mass was in the range … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 8,472 accessesView PDFCite
