Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Abattoir and Saw-Mill Effluents on Water Quality of Upper Ogun River (Abeokuta)A. O. Adeogun, A. V. Chukwuka, O. R. IborProblem statement: The unregulated discharge of contaminants from point sources into inland freshwater aquatic systems and the resultant deterioration of water quality are largely undocumented in developing countries like Nigeria especially with respect to the role of seasonal factors on the recovery capacity of aquatic systems. Approach: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of abattoir and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 6 Jan 2012 · 8,634 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimilarity Solutions for Free Convection Between Two Parallel Porous Walls at Different TemperaturesA. J. Omowaye, O. K. KorikoProblem statement: A two dimensional steady laminar free convective flow of viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel porous walls is considered. Approach: Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations were reduced to ordinary differential equations. The coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using shooting method. The effect of various physical parameters, such as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,783 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of an Optimal Fuzzy Logic Controller Using Genetic AlgorithmS. Khan, S. F. Abdulazeez, L. W. Adetunji et al.All control systems suffer from problems related to undesirable overshoot, longer settling times and vibrations while going form one state to another state. Most of relevant techniques had been in the form of suggesting modification and improvement in the instrumentation or interfacing part of the control system and the results reported, remain suffering from shortcomings related to hardware parameter dependence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 8,049 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution For Frank-Kamenetskii And Activation Energy Parameters in Reactive-Diffusive Equation with Variable One-Exponential FactorO. K. Koriko, A. J. OmowayeIn this study, we considered a steady state, exothermic chemical reaction, taking the diffusion of the reactant into account and assuming an Arrhenius temperature dependence with variable pre-exponent factor. Numerical solution is constructed for the governing nonlinear boundary value problem using finite difference scheme .The effect of Frank-Kamenetskii, activation energy parameter and pre-exponent factor on the temperature were also examined, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,920 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMagnetic Properties and Electrical Resistivity of Zr4+ Substituted Li-Zn FerriteA. A. Sattar, H. M. El-Sayed, W. R. Agami, A. A. GhaniThe effect of Zr-substitution on the physical and magnetic properties of Li0.3+0.5xZn0.4ZrxFe2.3-1.5xO4 ferrites (x=0.0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.05), prepared by the standard ceramic method, has been studied. It is found that the saturation magnetization increases up to x=0.02 and then it decreases. On the other hand, the initial permeability increased while the Curie temperature remained almost constant with increasing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 8,340 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Optical and Physical Roles of a Dielectric Laser Dye Solvent Which Affects on the Dye Laser OperationRiyad A.M. GhazyIt is well known that when the pump laser beam incidence on the laser dye liquid it will be absorbed. This absorption tends to heat the laser active medium, which is the laser dye solution. In view of this the correlated property of that active medium well change tends to shift the operated frequency and wavelength. Therefore, one of most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,862 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBinding of the scutellarin to albumin using tryptophan fluorescence quenching, CD and FT-IR spectraJianniao Tian, Jiaqin Liu, Zhide Hu, Xingguo ChenThe binding of scutellarin with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated at three temperatures, 296k, 310K, and 318K, by the fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) at pH 7.40. The binding parameters were determined by Stern-Volmer equation. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated according to the dependence of enthalpy change on the temperature as follows:ΔH0 and ΔS0 … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 13,643 accessesView PDF Cite
