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 · 3,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurvey of Frontier Technologies and Approaches to Enable Humans-Mars Both Safe and AffordableDennis Meyer BushnellFrontier technologies and systems that could reduce costs and improve human health and safety for human missions to Mars. Overall cost reductions increase funding opportunities for addressing serious radiation and reduce gravity health impacts for human-mars class missions. Major cost reduction/health improvement opportunities include fast transit via either starship due to low-cost chemical fuels in space, or high thrust electric … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 13 Nov 2024 · 7,615 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mathematical Modeling of the Turbulence Combustion Biodiesel in a Compression Ignition Engine: Theoretical FrameworkFrancis Mouzong Bongne, Zacharie Merlin Ayissi et al.The present work proposes a new model for biodiesel combustion in an internal combustion engine. This model first includes the balance equations of gas dynamics with heat release. Secondly, a model with special properties that take into account turbulence effects is incorporated. The chemical models implemented in this study are for a biofuel used at less than 100% and for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2024 · 5,029 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Opportunity for the Agricultural Sector: The Renewable Energy SourcesRiccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaToday, among the most important issue for energy decisions by policymakers, there are security challenges and environmental impacts on climate change and economic aspects. Since the seventies, in fact, global warming and environmental issues have had an increasing importance in international debate, attracting the attention of several scientific studies (Landi and Benelli, 2016). Many of these studies denoted that over … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Mutagenesis for Improvement of Production of a Biologically Active Extracellular Polymeric Substance by Halomonas xianhensis SUR308Jhuma Biswas, Amal K. PaulA moderately halophilic bacterium, Halomonas xianhensis SUR308 (Genbank Accession No. KJ933394) isolated from solar saltern of Surala, Odisha, India was found to produce significant amount of a biologically active extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Under optimized cultural conditions, the strain was able to produce 7.05 g L-1 of EPS after 8 days of incubation under shake culture. To enhance the EPS … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2016 · 15,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of a Combined Approach for the Treatment of Carbide Slurry and Capture of CO2Shereen Hasan, Muftah H. El-NaasThe aim of this study is to evaluate the potential use of electrocoagulation in the treatment of carbide slurry, a wastewater generated during the production of acetylene, and in the capture of carbon dioxide. An electrochemical batch reactor was used to carry out several experiments at different current densities, ranging between 140-290 A/m2. Pure air and a mixture of 10% … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2015 · 7,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical, Chemical, Microbiological and Parasitological Parameters in a Composting System of Vegetable Solid ResiduesFrancisco Rafael Martins Soto, Maira Oliveira Silva, Ramieri Moraes et al.This work aimed to evaluate the physical, chemical, microbiological and parasitological parameters in a composting system of Vegetable Solid Residues (VSR). The work was carried out during four months and was constituted of a compost bed of 12 m3 of volume and the proportion used for its filing was of 6:1 (VSR: Sawdust).

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation of Feedlot Nutrients Runoff by Electrocoagulation ProcessArjun Thapa, Shafiqur Rahman, Md. Saidul BorhanNutrient runoff from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) may cause ground and surface water pollution. Scientists and researchers are continually searching for appropriate technologies to mitigate feedlot nutrient runoff pollution. In this study, suitability of electrocoagulation treatment process was examined under laboratory conditions to mitigate nutrient pollutants from the feedlot runoff. Feedlot runoff was treated with three different type of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 9 Nov 2015 · 7,087 accessesView PDFCite
