Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Response Surface Methodology for Optimization of Nickel Adsorption in an Aqueous Solution by ClayNesrine Turki, Nesrine Boujelben, Zaineb Bakari, Jalel BouzidIn this study, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction and BET surface area (SBET) methods were employed to characterize the adsorbent. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was consider as a good method to assess Ni adsorption treatment and Box-Behnken design was used to examine simultaneous the effects of different experimental variables (pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time). Experimental results showed high adsorption … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 5 · 24 Nov 2021 · 6,292 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring Mesh Generation and Quality Enhancement with Open Source CodesLeandro Alves Neves, José Márcio Machado, Julio Cesar Momente et al.The finite element method is a very reliable and precise technique for solving partial differential equations in three-dimensional domains, with relevant applications in several areas. However, 3D simulations by FEM require computer programs for solid modeling and automatic mesh generation and there are few examples of open source codes available and dedicated to these tasks. Unfortunately, these open source codes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 19 Jul 2018 · 8,357 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Path from Values to Value: A Case Study Within the Public SectorGiovanna Centorrino, Daniela Rupo, Pierluigi CatalfoThe paper investigates the driving role of Intellectual Capital (IC), which is emerging from the ongoing change in the managerial approach in the Italian public sector. Drawing upon data collected from a case study regarding a local transport public utility, we intend to analyze the virtuous path that leads from values to value, focusing attention on the centrality of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 2 Jan 2018 · 7,952 accessesView PDF Cite

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.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Serum Interleukin-8 (CXCL8) Concentrations in Tumor Bearing DogsMelanie Haas, Franz-Josef Kaup, Stephan NeumannInterleukin-8 (IL-8 or CXCL8) is a pro-inflammatory and angiogenic chemokine involved in tumorigenesis. Serum CXCL8 is elevated in various neoplastic diseases, but its potential value as a tumor marker in veterinary medicine is unknown. Here, we measured serum CXCL8 concentrations in dogs with various neoplastic diseases using a commercially available canine ELISA kit and analyzed its relationship with patient and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Nov 2015 · 6,975 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Search Engines Using Enhanced Vector Space ModelJitendra Nath Singh, Sanjay K. DwivediVector space model allows computing a continuous degree of similarity between queries and retrieved documents and then ranks the documents in increasing order of cosine (similarity) value. It computes cosine or similarity value using their cosine function. The cosine function computes the similarity value by computing the weight of each term in the documents using a weighting scheme but it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 24 Jul 2015 · 6,758 accessesView PDF Cite
