Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetics of Iron Uptake by Wetland PlantsA.E. Ghaly, A. Snow, M. KamalThe aim of this study was to assess the kinetics of Fe removal by broad-leaved cattail, soft stem bulrush, soft rush and wool grass plants from contaminated wastewater under laboratory conditions. The approach used was based on a first order kinetic model which allowed for the evaluation of the specific metal uptake rate and the maximum accumulation of the metal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,866 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Malaysian Wood CO2 -Laser Cutting Parameters And Cut QualityNukman Yusoff, Saiful Rizal Ismail, Azuddin Mamat, Aznijar Ahmad-YazidLaser has been used to cut most non-metallic materials very efficiently and successfully because these materials are highly absorptive by the CO2 laser wavelength of 10.6 10.6µm. Laser cutting process has been found to be reliable in loads of applications, with several advantages over other mechanical means in producing successful cut of even thermally sensitive materials such as wood. Various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Management of Effluents from Small Piggery Farms in MexicoJ.L. de Victorica-Almeida, M. Galván-García, R. Ayala-RuizIn Mexico, pig farming is the third most important livestock activity due to its contribution to the total meat production. However, it is estimated that around 38% of pig farms dispose their wastewaters without any treatment directly into the nation’s water bodies, which in turn has a severe impact in the environment. One reason for not treating is the high … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Rodent Model of Autism: Intraventricular Infusions of Propionic Acid Increase Locomotor Activity and Induce Neuroinflammation and Oxidative Stress in Discrete Regions of Adult Rat BrainDerrick F. MacFabe, Karina Rodríguez-Capote, Jennifer E. Hoffman et al.Innate neuroinflammatory changes, increased oxidative stress and disorders of glutathione metabolism may be involved in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Propionic acid (PPA) is a dietary and gut bacterial short chain fatty acid which can produce brain and behavioral changes reminiscent of ASD following intraventricular infusion in rats. Adult Long-Evans rats were given intraventricular infusions of either PPA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 12,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTraditional Aquaculture Practice at East Calcutta Wetland: The Safety AssessmentS. Raychaudhuri, M. Mishra, S. Salodkar et al.The current study is on East Calcutta Wetland (ECW) which is a model for multi-use resource recovery system with activities like pisciculture and agriculture. The entire city's soluble waste is disposed into the raw sewage canals which finally drains into the shallow, flat bottom fish ponds called Bheri. These sewage fed fisheries act simultaneously for the purification process like removal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 9,442 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehaviour of Main Microbiological Parameters And of Enteric Microorganisms During the Composting of Municipal Solid Wastes and Sewage Sludge in A Semi-Industrial Composting PlantOlfa Fourti, Naceur Jedidi, Abdenaceur HassenThis study was focused on the microbiological aspects of composting and on the behaviour of main prevalent microbial communities (non-pathogenic and selected pathogenic bacteria) during the composting process of municipal solid wastes and sewage sludge in a semi-industrial composting plant. Results showed that the dehydrogenase activity and Biomass C / Biomass N ratio showed a noticeable increase in the two … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,313 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Metal Microbe Interaction of Three Bacterial Isolates From East Calcutta WetlandV. K. Adarsh, Madhusmita Mishra, Sanhita Chowdhury et al.The present paper put forth the isolation and complete characterization of three bacterial isolates from different sites of East Calcutta Wetland (ECW). These isolates show tolerance to heavy metals like Ag, Al, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Pb and were found to be efficient metal accumulators as evident from Energy Dispersive X Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 9,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Relationship Between Location and Prognosis in Brain-Stem TumorsN. Fayed, P. J. Modrego, J. EirasThe objective of this study was to establish a correlation between histopathology and radiological characteristics as well as location of brain stem tumors. Results of therapy were also analysed in relation to the radiological characteristics. Forty four patients were evaluated from a clinical and neuroradiological viewpoint (CT and MRI). In 14 of them we ruled out a surgical therapy. However … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Post-Mating Progesterone Supplement on Pregnancy and Lambing Rates of Ewes Bred Out-of-seasonMustafa Q. Husein, Mohammed M. Ababneh, Jomana F. HijaziThe objective of this experiment was to determine whether post-mating progesterone (P4) supplement improves pregnancy and lambing rates in ewes bred during the seasonal anestrous period. In June, 39 synchronized to estrus Awassi ewes were allowed with four harnessed fertile rams immediately following CIDR-G device removal (day 0 and 0 hour). Five days following ram introduction, ewes were randomly assigned … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaccumulation of Cr(III) ions by Blue-Green alga Spirulina sp. Part I. A Comparison with BiosorptionKatarzyna ChojnackaThe paper presents the results of studies on kinetics and equilibrium of bioaccumulation process of Cr(III) ions by blue-green alga Spirulina sp. Bioaccumulation was described as the process that consists of two stages, passive (identical with biosorption) and active (accumulation inside the cells). The passive stage (similarly as biosorption itself) was found to be quick process and the subsequent active … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,708 accessesView PDFCite
