Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterizations of MmtO-Copolymer (St-THF) NanocompositeHattab Youcef, Hakiki WahibaNanocomposites are synthesized by one or two polymers and optimized organophilic clay proportions. The aim of Synthesis of the Organophilic clay (montmorillonite) with a two monomers to get a copolytetrahydrofuran- styrene nanocomposite by insitu polymerization. Organophilic montmorillonite (MmtO) was synthesized by ion exchange between Na+ ions in the clay and HDTMAB alkylammonium cations in an aqueous medium. The MmtO were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 10 · 19 Dec 2019 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Certain Disinfectants and Antibiotics on the Biofilm Formed by Staphylococcus Aureus Isolated from Medical Devices at the University Hospital Center of Sidi Bel Abbes (Algeria)Ibtissem Kara Terki, Hafida Hassaine, Assia Kara Terki et al.Staphylococcus aureus is one of the species that are most frequently isolated from medical devices. The ability to produce a biofilm is an important step in the pathogenesis of these staphylococci; biofilm formation is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions and also on the antibiotics and disinfectants used in the treatment of infections. In this study, 28 staphylococcus aureus isolated … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2019 · 7,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmobilized Whole Cell System with Methyl Parathion-Degrading Activity for Organophosphate Insecticide DetectionChadaporn Pootawee, Witsanu Senbua, Jesdawan WichitwechkarnAs the result of the extensive use and high contamination of organophosphate (OP) insecticides in agricultural products and the environment, especially in developing countries, a simple and convenient means for OP detection and screening was investigated. Whole cells from the recombinant clone BpGP carrying methyl parathion (MP) degrading, mpdB, gene originating from MP-degrading Burkholderia cepacia and possessing MP-degrading activity were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2018 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF A BACTERIAL CULTURE SYSTEM USING A PAPER PLATFORM TO ACCOMMODATE MEDIA AND AN INK-JET PRINTING TO DISPENSE BACTERIATithimanan Srimongkon, Takuya Ishida, Kiyohiko Igarashi, Toshiharu EnomaeGenerally, bacterial culture is performed manually and is subject to error. Here, we created a novel, well-ordered and reliable system for dispensing bacteria microscopically by using paper and an ink-jet printer for controlled patterning. For paper to accommodate a culture medium, hydrophobic/hydrophilic patterns were incorporated onto the paper by immersing paper in a toluene solution of polystyrene and drying for … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2014 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite

Thermal insulation in structures is a significant feature to attaining thermal comfort for its tenants. Approach: Insulation decreases unnecessary warmth loss or gain and can reduce the power burdens of heating and cooling structures. It does not automatically having anything to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 9,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Characteristics of Compost and Humic Acid from Sago Waste (Metroxylon sagu)Auldry Chaddy Petrus, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Ab Majid Nik Muhamad et al.Problem statement: Agriculture waste such as Sago Waste (SW) has a potential to cause pollution either on land or in water. In order to reduce this problem, a study was conducted to investigate the effect of three different treatments on the chemical characteristics of compost and humic acid from SW. Approach: The study had three treatments which were: T1: SW … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 8,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Behavior of A High Anchored Reinforced Earth WallFaisal Hj Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Chee HaiSince the invention of Reinforced Earth by the French architect Hendri Vidal in 1966, numerous reinforced soil walls have been designed and constructed all over the world. In this study the focus was on a particular type of reinforced wall called Nehemiah wall which differed from the Vidal type in the sense that instead of steel strips, the reinforcing elements … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,258 accessesView PDFCite
