Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of an IgY-Based Immunomodulatory Combo on the Internalization of Staphylococcus aureus by HC11 Cells: Preliminary in vitro Studies IIZarete Jatna Isha, Adu-Addai BenjaminInfectious mastitis is a common disease of cattle of economic significance. Clinical mastitis affects between 20 to 25% of dairy cows each year. Staphylococcus aureus (SA) causes an estimated 10-11.7% of bovine infectious mastitis cases in the US, reducing milk production, increasing morbidity, increasing antibiotic use and milk waste, and fueling premature culling. The SA mastitis cure rate varies from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 1 Feb 2026 · 2,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of Low-Density Polyethylene Film by UV Irradiated and Non-Irradiated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa D5Olusola Adeoye Oluwole, Temitayo Omotunde Olowomofe, Ikeoluwa Gloria OlaniyanLow-density polyethylene (LDPE) constitutes 60% of total plastic production, and non-degradable polyethylene carry bags are the most common type of solid waste found. Their recalcitrance in the environment is thus a major concern for environmentalists. This study investigated the potential of Ultraviolet (UV) induced mutation in enhancing biodegradation of LDPE films by two diesel degrading bacteria, Alcaligenes faecalis D4 and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 8 Oct 2025 · 3,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete using Recycled Clay Bricks as Coarse AggregateMohammad Yasir Abdul Hakim, Mohamed El-Zeadani, Siti Aminah OsmanRising construction waste due to demolition work, natural disasters, and development is becoming a prominent issue. To tackle this, Recycled Crushed Brick Masonry Aggregate (RCBMA) can be an ideal replacement for the limited Natural Coarse Aggregates (NCA) in the production of concrete, potentially assisting in managing construction waste and reducing the depletion of NCA. As such, this study focused on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2022 · 7,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign, Fabrication and Operational Evaluation of a Co-Pyrolysis System for Waste-Plastics Derived Fuels: A Study of Edo NorthKevin Otoikhian, Ubani Oluwaseun Amune, Kennedy Edogamhe et al.This research work designed, developed and assessed the performance of a co-pyrolysis system generating waste-plastic extract fuels from mixed Municipal Waste Plastics (MWP) while evaluating High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (PS) as the main municipal waste plastic sources. The materials selected for the reactor were carefully studied to meet the pyrolysis system's strength, operability and safety requirements. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2022 · 7,517 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe use of Principal Component Regression and Time Series Analysis to Predict Nitrous Oxide Emissions in GhanaBenjamin Odoi, Lewis Brew, Christopher AttafuahThe disturbing pace of emanation of Nitrous Oxide (N2O) into the atmosphere and its calamitous impact on the environment, as monitored by many governmental agencies and researchers has become a wellspring of worry for many nations and therefore needs due attention. The study deployed nitrous oxide emissions from the three sectors to the total nitrous oxide emissions in Ghana over … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2021 · 8,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffectiveness of the Use of Ash and Slag Fertilizer on Ordinary Chernozem for Linum usitatissimum CropsGulmira Kyzdarbekova, Abilzhan Khussainov, Baurzhan Yessenzholov et al.Degradation, reduction of soil fertility, and accumulation of industrial waste is both global and national environmental problem. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and environmental safety of the use of fertilizers made from ash and slag on ordinary chernozem for common flax (Linum usitatissimum) crops. The laboratory experiments were conducted in the environmental protection laboratory. The … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 11 May 2023 · 5,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,930 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Heuristic Approach Toward Innovative Tire Re-Design Through Advanced TechnologiesRamundo Fulvio Enzo, Fedele LorenzoIn the field of mobility and road transport, tires are components of a vehicle that play a decisive role in active safety. Monitoring tire conditions can affect different areas: Transport safety, optimization of cycles and maintenance costs and environmental protection. In fact, the tire wear check, possibly through the evaluation of the Remainig Useful Life (RUL), allows to meet many … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 22 Aug 2020 · 7,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Limonene-based Environmental-Friendly Emulsion Drilling MudOlaitan Oluwaseum Micheal, Orodu Oyinkepreye David, Ehinmowo Adegboyega BoluThe use of emulsion drilling mud in the oil and gas industry has gained wide acceptance. However, the disposal of drill cuttings and the waste of such emulsion drilling mud usually poses environmental concern. Hence, there is the need to seek oil from biodegradable sources as an alternative to the current conventional diesel oil which constitute environmental threat. In this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2017 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractExamination of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in Term of Maynard's Operation Sequence Technique (MOST)Puvanasvaran A. Perumal, Ito Teruaki, Teoh Yong Siang, Yoong Sai SiengIt is a common practice to quantify any process or entire production line in manufacturing industry especially to measure three main losses named time losses, performance losses and quality defect exist in production.
