Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTesting of Ethanol as an Alternative Fuel for IC EngineT. M. Chenthil Jegan, R. Chitra, Godwin GlivinAlternative fuel has become very significant and has an important role to play for both spark ignition and compression ignition engines, so the need to trim down dependency on gasoline as a fuel and its economic aspects has emerged as the reason of prime importance. Ethanol is one of the cost effective alternative fuel used to improve the performance of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2021 · 8,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleβ-carotene Supplementation Increases Progesterone Concentration and Glutathione Peroxidase Activity Following Alternative Progesterone Primed Oestrous Synchronization Protocol in GoatsDominic Lado Marino Gore, Khoboso Christina LehloenyaThe present study evaluated the effect of β-carotene supplementation and oestrous synchronization protocol on ovarian activity and fertility of Saanen does during the breeding season. The supplemented group received 100 mg β-carotene during the breeding and all does were synchronised with Controlled Internal Drug Release dispenser (CIDR) and injected with cloprostenol at CIDR withdrawal. One group of does were injected … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 8 Aug 2020 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGetting an Alternative Pitch Binder by Thermal Dissolution of CoalPeter Nikolayevich Kuznetsov, Elena Nikolaevna Marakushina, Anastasia Valerievna Kazbanova et al.The process of thermal dissolution of medium metamorphosed coals in anthracene oil to produce an alternative pitch binder was studied. The process was carried out at temperatures from 350 to 400°C and pressure not higher than 2.5 MPa, without the use of hydrogen and catalysts. It was determined that during thermal dissolution hard coal of gaseous-fat grade demonstrated a higher … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2016 · 8,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBONE MEAL AS ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT FOR ACIDIC AND METAL CONTAMINATED ACID MINE DRAINAGE WATER EFFLUENT: LAB SCALECarolyn Payus, Olga David, Moh Pak YanThe typical methods of treatment for acidic and metal contaminated water effluent such as the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) will always focus on either civil engineering methods, such as disposal, excavation, drainage and encapsulation or process based technologies such as effluent washing and treatment. These techniques are not environmental friendly, costly and unsustainable, thus environmental damaging. Nowadays, there is a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2014 · 7,979 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Alternative Scaling Factor In Broyden's Class Methods for Unconstrained OptimizationMuhammad Fauzi bin Embong, Mustafa bin Mamat, Mohd Rivaie, Ismail bin MohdProblem statement: In order to calculate step size, a suitable line search method can be employed. As the step size usually not exact, the error is unavoidable, thus radically affect quasi-Newton method by as little as 0.1 percent of the step size error. Approach: A suitable scaling factor has to be introduced to overcome this inferiority. Self-scaling Variable Metric algorithms … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2010 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCarbon Dioxide Transfer with Chemical Equilibrium Reactions: An Alternative Mathematical ApproachA. ShanablehProblem statement: Despite intensive research efforts on CO2 transfer, mathematical models that describe the dependence of the CO2 transfer rate on the pH and the degree of rate enhancement due to CO2 chemical reactions remain unavailable.
