Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Diversity of Fungi in Landfill and their Potential to Degrade PlasticErman Munir, Yitro Pasaribu, Syahira Mubtasima, Ahmad Faisal NasutionPlastic has been known as a recalcitrant material and is very difficult to degrade in nature, resulting in its accumulation and threatening the environment if it is not managed properly. Studies on the degradation of plastics have been obtaining much attention recently. This study aimed to determine the diversity of fungi isolated from plastic wastes in landfills and to identify … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 1 Mar 2024 · 6,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtein Secondary Structure Prediction using Hybrid Recurrent Neural NetworksRomana Rahman Ema, Akhi Khatun, Md. Alam Hossain et al.The most important and challenging problem in bioinformatics is protein secondary structure prediction. The molecules of all protein organisms have three-dimensional (primary, secondary, 3-D) structures which are completely recognized by the sequence of amino acids. Protein secondary structure attributes to the polypeptide backbone of the local configuration of proteins. Most generally, the second-level prediction is indicated such as: If there … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 7 · 14 Jul 2022 · 7,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental and Numerical Analysis of Continuously Coupling Timber-Lightweight EPS Concrete Composite SystemNikola Perković, Vlatka Rajčić, Jure BarbalićA composite system based on concrete and timber represents a very successful engineering solution in the process of optimization of construction. Nowadays, by combining different timber products and concrete classes it is easy to achieve improved engineering features for elements in different static systems or load cases. This paper presents an overview of the research initiated by solving the problem … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 2 Feb 2021 · 6,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Iris Recognition Based on Hybrid TechniqueAsaad Noori Hashim, Bushraa Mahdi Al-HashimiIris recognition is a biometric technique that uses iris pattern information to detect person identification. Initially, the system find out the boundary of the pupil and iris. Then, Circular Hough transform used to find out the center of both pupil and iris in order to crop iris part from the eye image. After that, Daugman’s Rubber Sheet model utilized for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 4 Dec 2019 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPre-Reinforcement Sprinkle FRP for Reinforced-Concrete Beams against Earthquakes, FRP: Consumption in Civil EngineeringMoein Zargar, Hossein Gholami, Hossein Norouzi et al.Nowadays, the reinforcement is used by green concrete, coated steel sheet, reinforcement, fiber reinforced such as carbon, aramid, and glass as earthquake reinforcement methods for concrete structures. regard the reinforcing structures and buildings against earthquake forces in the future, only simple methods for lowering prices should not be considered and the earthquake behaviors should be completely transparent. In this article, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2019 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened by FRP Bars Subjected to Impact Loading ConditionsSajjad Roudsari, Sameer Hamoush, Sayed Soleimani et al.Civil engineers have considered Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials to enhance the performance of structural members subjected to static and dynamic loading conditions. However, there are some design limitations due to uncertainty in the behavior of such strengthened members. This fact is particularly important when considering the complex nature of the nonlinear behavior of materials, the impact loading conditions and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Apr 2018 · 9,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption Behavior of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 on a Graphite Substrate for Biomedical ApplicationsIzabele Marquetti, Salil DesaiThe interaction of proteins with biomaterials plays an important role for several biomedical applications including implants and tissue engineering. Although different experimental approaches have been explored, the investigation of the molecular models for protein-substrate interaction is warranted to control of cellular functions. In this study, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were used to study the adsorption behavior of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2018 · 8,705 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Resilience in Natural Capital to Reduce Disaster Risks and Adapt to Climate Change: A Case of Wetlands in the Eastern Free State; South AfricaJohanes A. Belle, Nacelle Collins, Andries JordaanWetlands are a form of natural capital which provide services that improve the welbeing of the local community. Unfortunately many wetlands have been degraded before their values and functions were realised. Using a system thing appraoach and a mixed research method, this article collected primary data from 176 respondents using questionnaires. Besides, 21 wetlands were observed using field observation data … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 12 Oct 2017 · 7,972 accessesView PDFCite
