Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic and Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Hydroxyapatite-Polyacrylic Acid Composites Under Simulated Body FluidKalpana S. Katti, Phanikumar Turlapati, Devendra Verma et al.In this work, we have investigated mechanical response of hydroxyapatite/polyacrylic composites under dry, wet and simulated body fluid conditions. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is mineralized under two conditions; one, in presence of polyacrylic acid (in situ HAP), second, in absence of polyacrylic acid (ex situ HAP). Further, in situ and ex situ HAP are mixed with polyacrylic acid to make HAP/PAAc composites. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,402 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of the Application of Sewage Sludge and Presence of Pesticides on the Development of the Microbial Population of the Soil and on the Transformation of Organic Carbon and Nutrient ElementsM.E. Sánchez, I. B. Estrada, O. Martínez et al.The laboratory trial consisted in incubating samples of soil and soil treated with sewage sludge, with the application of organophosphate pesticides with different active ingredients under controlled conditions of temperature and moisture. On the basis of a previous study of the influence of the application of sludge on the degradation of pesticides in the soil, a kinetic study is included … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,866 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Silica-refractory Bricks from White SandGazze AlmarahleAt present, no refractories are produced in Jordan, but large quantities are imported for use in the lining of furnaces and kilns in the metallurgical industries.The aim of this study is to initiate a program of research for production of silica-refractory bricks from local materials.The raw material, which has been used in this study was white sand. This sand contains … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,340 accessesView PDF Cite
