Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCastor Oil Based Epoxy/Clay Nanocomposite for Advanced ApplicationsAditi Saikia, Niranjan KarakBio-based hyperbranched and linear epoxy resins were synthesized from monoglyceride of Ricinus communis oil. The nanocomposites of these hyperbranched and linear epoxies with 1, 2 and 3 wt% of OMMT were also fabricated. The structures of the resins and their nanocomposites were analyzed by FTIR, NMR, XRD, SEM and TEM. The studies of performance characteristics of poly(amido amine) cured thermosetting … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Dec 2015 · 8,359 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Solid Residues Obtained from Supercritical Ethanol Liquefaction of Swine ManureRui Li, Bo Zhang, Shuangning Xiu et al.Animal wastes are considered as renewable energy resources, which contain a great energy potential. For this study, swine manure was treated with supercritical ethanol within the reaction temperature range of 240-360°C to produce bio-oil, resulting in a significant amount of solid residues. Solid residues were characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), surface area, elemental and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Jul 2015 · 7,687 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASYNCHRONOUS TIME ENCODER BASED QUASI-STATIC MODELLING FOR HUMAN AREA NETWORK IN VANETR. Vimal Karthick, G. S. Raj, R. Srinivasan et al.Power constraints play a key role in designing Human Area Networks (HANs) for bio authentication vehicle based on driver's identity. To alleviate the power constraints, we advocate a design that uses an asynchronous time encoding mechanisms for representing bio authentication information and the skin surface as the communication channel. Time encoding does not require a clock while allows perfect signal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 20 Dec 2014 · 8,060 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA BIO-SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM USING EFFICIENT ALGORITHM FOR INFORMATION SHARING APPLICATIONSShobhanjaly P. Nair, K. Silambarasan, N. Bindhu, R. SrinivasanBio-Surveillance represents a health information system for public that stores and integrates health related information and data across a variety of data. Bio-surveillance strategies are projected for detection of disease outbreaks from existing diagnostic data, but their performance is typically not understandable. The focus of the paper is to develop a bio-surveillance system which can serve the aim of biosurveillance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2014 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Melaleuca cajuputi as Heavy Metals Phytoremediator for Sewage Sludge Contaminated SoilShibli Nik Mohd, Nik Muhamad Majid, Noor Azhar Mohamed Shazili, Arifin AbduIn 2011, total marine capture landings in Peninsular Malaysia decreased by 3.9% which amounted to 1,373,105 tonnes as compared to 1,428,881 tonnes in 2010. The decline is connected to marine pollution which mainly comes from land based sources. Coastal forests play an important role affecting the marine ecosystem health and need to be conserved as a buffer to minimize pollution … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Environment and Public Health Risk Due to Contamination of Heavy Metals from Industrial Waste Water in Lam Thao, Phu Tho, VietnamNguyen Cong Vinh, Ingrid Oborn, Pham Quang Ha et al.Problem statement: In Vietnam, rice cultivation plays an important role in national economic development and food security. However, rice production is facing many problems associated with rapid industrialization and urbanization in the country. Resultant emissions of solid and liquid wastes are often untreated and discharged directly to agricultural land. These practices have potential impacts on the environment and human health. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2012 · 8,427 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioautography Guided Identification of Anticandidal Compounds from A. terreus st. 1B. K. Nagaraja, R. Sripathy, C. N. Ramchand, M. SundararamanProblem statement: Saprophytic and soil inhabiting microorganisms are prolific producers of secondary metabolites with wide range of structural and functional diversity. The objective of the current study was to screen and evaluate the anti-candidal properties of soil inhabiting fungi. Approach: Preliminary dual culture assay and bioautography was used to screen the fungi with potential anti-fungal activity and direct detection of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2011 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction and Characterization of Bio-Char from the Pyrolysis of Empty Fruit BunchesMohamad Azri Sukiran, Loh Soh Kheang, Nasrin Abu Bakar, Choo Yuen MayProblem statement: The palm oil industry generates an abundance of oil palm biomass such as the Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB), shell, frond, trunk and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). For 88 million tones of Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) processed in 2008, the amount of oil palm biomass was more than 26 million tones. Studies about production of bio-char from oil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 9,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Prickly Poppy Methyl Ester Blends on Ci Engine Performance and Emission CharacteristicsP. Lawrence, P. Koshy Mathews, B. DeepanrajProblem statement: The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of using Prickly poppy methyl ester as a fuel blend on Diesel engine (CI engine) performance and exhaust emission.
