Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Crump Rubber (CR) of Scrap Tire in Hot Mix Asphalt DesignOmar Asad AhmadHot Mix Asphalt (HMA) design is one of the most important types of pavement used in highway construction. This research provided a hot mixture design method modifying with Crump Rubber Scrap Tire (CR) in order to develop and determining the optimum additive for hot mix asphalt design. All tests conducted to the raw material including specific gravity, compact test and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 13 Feb 2017 · 7,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Annealing Temperature on Characteristics of Bismuth Doped Zinc Oxide FilmsSirirat Tubsungnoen Rattanachan, Phanuwat Krongarrom, Thipwan FangsuwannarakIn this study, Bismuth (Bi) doped ZnO thin films were deposited on quartz substrates by a sol-gel spin coating method and annealed at different annealing temperatures of 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700°C, respectively. Structural and optical properties of nanocrystalline Bi-doped ZnO film on quartz were investigated by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 1 Oct 2013 · 7,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnaerobic Transformation of Biodegradable Waste; Simultaneous Production of Energy and FertilizerAmirhossein Malakahmad, Syazana Nasrudin, Noor Ezlin Ahmad Basri, Shahrom Md ZainAlmost 40% of the total waste produced in developing countries is made of biodegradable waste. Typically the waste including the biodegradable portion is transported to the so-called landfills without any segregation process, treatment and utilization in advance. Although mitigation practices such as source reduction, reuse and recycle are essential and required to be practiced in any integrated waste management plan, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 10 Mar 2013 · 7,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NAPIN PROMOTER ACTIVATES GENE EXPRESSION IN DEVELOPING SEEDS OF LESQUERELLA FENDLERIGrace Q. Chen, Jiann-Tsyh LinLesquerella fendleri produces industrial useful Hydroxy Fatty Acids (HFA) in seed oil. To improve oil and HFA of L. fendleri, it is desirable to use of seed-specific promoters to control the expression of target genes by genetic engineering. A seed-specific promoter fragment, -397 to -1 of a napin gene (PnapA) from Brassic napus was isolated by PCR and constructed to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2012 · 7,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMixing Patterns and Residence Time Determination in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed SystemA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldFluidized bed gasification can be used to convert the solar energy stored as carboneous compounds in biomass into a carbon neutral fuel with reduced emissions. Canada produces 20.57 million tonnes of wheat straw annually which could be used for green energy production. Wheat straw residue gasification has the capability of replacing 7.5 % (0.62 EJ) of Canada’s annual fossil fuel … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
