EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE HEAT ENHANCEMENT AND THE BIO-HEAT TRANSFER USING GOLD MACRO ROD AND ULTRASOUND: A POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE TO KILL CANCER CELLSC. Austerlitz, I. Gkigkitzis, D. Campos, I. HaranasWe have previously proposed a method of treating solid tumors with a combination of gold macro-rods irradiated with ultrasound. Macro particle sized rods offer a greater circumferential treatment area over nanoparticle options. Experimental studies were conducted to investigate the heat enhancement and the bio-heat transfer to breast chicken using gold macro rod and ultrasound. An ultrasound, other than a focused … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 26 May 2014 · 7,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFICACY OF BIO-FOLIAR SPRAY ON GROWTH AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF DIFFERENT MULBERRY VARIETIESDhiraj Kumar, R. Venkatesh KumarThe study was undertaken to improve the growth and biochemical contents in an instant available form through foliar combination of spirulina, soybean and vermiwash. 15, 30 and 45 µg mL-1 concentrations of bio-foliar were sprayed on five different mulberry varieties namely S-1, S-146, S-1635, BR-2 and AR-14 to know their performance on growth parameters and biochemical constituents. Results of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2014 · 7,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Factors to Alcohol Law Violations in the Community: Quasi-Experimental StudyWuttiphong Phakdeekul, Pramote Thongkrajai, Peem Eiamprapai, Manop KanatoProblem statement: Alcohol-related health problems such as chronic and acute diseases, accidents/injuries and social problems are well recognized. Although many countries including Thailand enact laws to control alcohol problems, missing data in Thailand cannot reveal efficacy of law enforcement and compliance with the public. The aim of this study was to investigate the proportion of Thai people violating alcohol laws … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Rheological Properties of Bio Mastic AsphaltR. Muniandy, H. Jafariahangari, R. Yunus, S. HassimDue to the high oil prices the price of asphalt binder has increased tremendously. This scenario has warranted demand for higher viscosity cheaper asphalt for pavement construction. A study was conducted to take advantage of the Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) of Date and Oil Palm trees (which are considered as waste) to produce cellulose fiber to be used as additives … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of 50 HZ Magnetic Field on Some Factors of Immune System in the Male Guinea PigsH. Sedghi, S. Zare, H. Hayatgeibi et al.This study investigated the bio-effects of 50 Hz MF exposure on some Immunological factors (ACTH, cortisol and glucose levels) in male Guinea pigs. The capacity of 50 Hz Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) to interfere in the weakness of endocrine system has been a relevant fact into the scientific community, since we are more susceptible for this kind of exposure, in modern … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
