Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamics, Non-Linear Isotherms, Statistical Modeling and Optimization of Phosphorus Adsorption from WastewaterAkinpelu Kamoru BabayemiPalm Kernel Shell (PKN), an eco-friendly biomass, was carbonized and activated for the removal of phosphorus from wastewater through batch adsorption process. The studies evaluate the effects of pH, particle size, dosage and contact time on the adsorption capacity of the prepared adsorbent. The equilibrium concentration data and the amount of adsorption were described using non-linear regression analysis of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 19 Nov 2016 · 7,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout Nano Fusion and Dynamic FusionFlorian Ion T. Petrescu, John Kaiser CalautitHot fusion is currently a difficult goal to accomplish due to the high temperatures required, which are difficult to achieve and also to be maintained. For these reason, it is much easier to try to achieve cold fusion, or a combined method. In this paper, the author will briefly present some original relationships for setting up a theoretical model for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 12 Mar 2016 · 11,303 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Association between Total Mixed Ration Particle Size and Fecal Scores in Holstein Lactating Dairy Cows from Florida, USAPedro Melendez, Elizabeth RoyThe objective of this study was to determine the association between the proportion of particles greater than 19 mm in a total mixed ration fed to dairy cattle and their fecal score. Over a 22 day period, random feed samples were collected twice a day from a one-side barn and assessed for particle size using the Pennsylvania State Particle Separator. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2016 · 8,084 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Proton Radius PuzzleG. M. HuberOccasionally,“revolutions” are caused in physics when new measurement techniques becomeavailable and cause us to rethink what we thought we knew. This has recently happenedin the field of proton structure physics, where researchers have had to revisitfundamental assumptions used in their determinations of the proton's meanelectric charge radius. Until 2010, ourknowledge of the proton's electric charge radius came exclusively fromelectron-proton interactions. … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 12 Sep 2015 · 8,321 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscovering Nature’s Hidden Relationships, an Unattainable Goal?James R. JohnsonDiscovering hidden relationships, relationships that may reveal the secrets of nature, is a difficult if not impossible goal. This is primarily because the models of the two worlds, the Standard Model of Particle Physics (SMPP) and the Standard Model of Cosmology (SMC) have no elements in common, they are completely disjoint. Thus, relationships are hidden and finding them, may prove … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 13 Aug 2015 · 7,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaser-Induced Breakdown and Detonation in Particle-Laden SystemsKonstantin VolkovSimulation of the interaction of a laser pulse with gas-droplet and gas-particle mixtures plays an important role in environmental and engineering applications. The injection of liquid droplets or metal particle causes optical breakdown on the individual droplet or particle and leads to a drop of the detonation minimum pulse energy of the mixture. Mathematical models of various stages of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2015 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProblems of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic RaysAnna V. UrysonCosmic rays are energetic particles coming to the Earth from space. They bombard the atmosphere producing cascades of particles that spread over a large area when they reach the ground. Cosmic ray energies vary in the wide band from about 108 eV up to few 1020 eV. It is established that most particles with energies of ~ (108-109) eV come … …Space Science International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2014 · 13,854 accessesView PDFCite
