Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecycle of Plastic Waste and Agricultural WasteKhin Aye Tue, Moe Moe ThweManufacturing of polymer composites using plastic waste is one of the solutions to solve the environmental pollution problems caused by non-biodegradable polymer. In this study, Rice husk fiber Reinforced Polyethylene composites (RhRP) have been fabricated with rice husk fiber and plastic waste (recycle low density polyethylene) by compression molding method. Effect of fiber volume fraction, pressure and temperature on the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Aug 2013 · 7,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMIXED CONVECTION BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW ON A VERTICAL SURFACE IN A POROUS MEDIUM SATURATED BY A NANOFLUID WITH SUCTION OR INJECTIONM. H.M. Yasin, N. M. Arifin, R. Nazar et al.An analysis of the steady mixed convection boundary layer flow past a vertical permeable surface embedded in a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid is performed in this study. Numerical solutions of the similarity equations are obtained using the shooting method. Three types of metallic or nonmetallic nanoparticles, namely Copper (Cu), Alumina (Al2O3) and Titania (TiO2) are considered by using … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 10 May 2013 · 7,165 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDuctility Behavior Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened With Externally Bonded Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer LaminatesMariappan Mahalingam, Ragunath Pulipakka Narashima Rao, Suguna KannanThe study presents the results of an experimental investigation conducted on Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) beams with externally bonded Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) laminates with a view to study their strength and ductility. A total of ten beams, 150×250 mm in cross-section were tested in the laboratory over an effective span of 2800 mm. Three fiber reinforced concrete … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectrical Properties of Novel Lead Zirconate/Synthetic Rubber Composite MaterialsChareumwut Pansa-Ard, Yanee Pornchaisiriarun, Nuchnapa TangboriboonProblem statement: Perovskite lead zirconate exhibits in an orthorhombic formation at a temperature below the Curie temperature, TC. Approach: The orthorhombic is non-centrosymmetric which is capable of spontaneous polarization (electronic, ionic and orientation), depending on their composition and volume fraction. Results: The results from FTIR spectroscopy, XRD patterns, and SEM indicate that the lead zirconate particles are dispersed in Acrylic … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 20 Feb 2012 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro and In Vivo Anticancer Activity of Bacoside A from Whole Plant of Bacopa Monnieiri (Linn)N. S. Prakash, R. Sundaram, S. K. MitraProblem statement: Natural products have long been a fertile source of cure for cancer, which is projected to become the major cause of death in this century. Major classes of anticancer compounds include alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids and lignans. We have chosen terpenoids (bacosides) because terpenoids like taxol are currently being used in cancer chemotherapy. The anticancer activity of Bacoside A … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 7 Jun 2011 · 9,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPositron Annihilation Study on Nickel and Iron Nano-Particles in Natural Rubber CompositesEmad Hassan AlyProblem statement: The effect of Ni and Fe nano-particles as a filler on the free volume properties Of Natural Rubber (NR) was studied using Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS). Approach: The PAL measurements revealed that the free volume properties are strongly affected by the amount and type of filler. Results: Particularly speaking, the free volume fraction dramatically decreased by increasing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Aerosol Particle Size at High Polluted Region in the World Using Direct Solar Radiation Measurements: Helwan as a Case RegionU. Ali RahomaProblem statement: Particle counting and sizing of atmospheric aerosols by electro-optical methods are complex and absolute interpretation of measurements is difficult, so, the scattered light varies in a complicated manner with the system of optics as well as with the size and physical characteristics of particles. Approach: The estimation of the air aerosol number concentration variation was carried out in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 8 May 2010 · 6,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Severity of Mitral Valvular Regurgitation with Doppler Echocardiography Using Proximal Flow Convergence MethodPinjari Abdul Khayum, M.N. Giriprasad, P.V. SrideviProblem statement: Valvular regurgitation is recognized as the central cause of morbidity and mortality. Even though the clinician can detect the presence of regurgitation by mere physical examination; diagnostic methods become inevitable while estimating the severity of valvular regurgitation and in the transformation of cardiac chambers as in reaction to the volume overload condition. Lately, a promising new technology, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrength Modeling of High-Strength Concrete with Hybrid Fibre ReinforcementA. Ravichandran, K. Suguna, P. N. RagunathThe low tensile strength and limited ductility, the unavoidable deficiency, of concrete can be overcome by the addition of fibres. High strength concrete (HSC) of 60 MPa containing hybrid fibres, combination of steel and polyolefin fibres, at different volume fraction of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% were compared in terms of compressive, splitting tensile strength and flexural properties with HSC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,541 accessesView PDFCite
