Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTheoretically Predicted Descriptors Based Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Study of the Activity of Acridines Against B-16 MelanomaBahjat A. Saeed, Rita S. Elias, Sadiq M-H. Ismael, Kawkab A. HussainProblem statement: The probability of success and reducing time and coast in drug discovery process could be increased on the basis of QSAR techniques. The study involves the QSAR investigation of 20 bioactive acridines that have activity against Approach: Molecular descriptors, total energy, van der Waals volume, molecular volume, HOMO energy, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, polarizability, refractivity, bond angle of C8-N9-C2 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,689 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensity Functional Theory Based Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Study of 2,5-Bis(1-Aziridinyl)-p-Benzoquinones with Lymphoid LeukemiaBahjat A. Saeed, Rita S. EliasProblem statement: QSAR techniques increase the probability of success and reduce time and coast in drug discovery process. The study presented QSAR investigation on 32 bioactive aziridinylbenzoquinones that have activity against lymphoid leukemia. Approach: Molecular descriptors, molecular weight, total energy, hardness, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, HOMO and LUMO energies were calculated. Initial geometry optimizations were carried out with the AM1 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,211 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTartaric Acid Modified Rice Hull as a Sorbent for Methylene Blue RemovalSiew-Teng Ong, Pei-Sin Keng, Ai-Wen Chong et al.Problem statement: Improper dye discharge from various industries such as textile, paper, cosmetic and plastics into receiving streams can be one of the sources towards water pollution. The release of these effluents not only causes various disruptions in the ecosystems, but also poses hazard effect as most of the dyes are highly toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic in nature. Approach: To … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,151 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Temperature and Acid Concentration on Corrosion of Low Carbon Steel in Hydrochloric Acid MediaAnees A. Khadom, Aprael S. Yaro, Abdul Amir H. Kadum et al.Problem statement: The effect of different temperatures and acid concentrations on the corrosion of low carbon steel in hydrochloric acid were addressed in this study. Approach: The effect of temperature was explained by application of Arrhenius equation and transition state theory, while the acid concentration effect was explained using reaction kinetic equations. The combined effect of temperature and acid concentration … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 11,473 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Growth, Sensory Characteristic and pH as Potential Spoilage Indicators of Chinese Yellow Wet Noodles from Commercial Processing PlantsSuwaibah Ghaffar, Abdulamir AS, Fatimah Abu Bakar et al.Problem statement: This study was conducted to evaluate the potential use of microbial growth, sensory characteristic (odour) and pH as potential spoilage indicators of Chinese yellow wet noodles. Approach: Samples were collected from 3 commercial processing plants namely, Automated Processing (AP), Semi-automated Processing (SP) and Manual Processing (MP). The samples were kept at ambient temperature (28±2 °C) and monitored microbiologically … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,575 accessesView PDF Cite
