Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry Study on the Degradation of B-Aflatoxins in Maize with Aqueous Citric AcidA. Méndez-Albores, I. Nicolás-Vázquez, R. Miranda-Ruvalcaba, E. Moreno-MartÍnezDegradation of B-aflatoxins in maize by means of 1N aqueous citric acid was confirmed by the AFLATEST immunoaffinity column method, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and computational information. The AFLATEST and HPLC assays showed that 96.7% degradation occurred in maize contaminated with 93 ng g-1 when treated with the aqueous citric acid. Two major products, produced … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNano TiO2 Deposited on Crude Mineral and the Photoactivity to the Degradation of ChloroformHaiyan Song, Hongfu Jiang, Xingqing Liu, Guangyao MengSupported TiO2 catalysts have increasingly attracted intention in recent years because of their potential application to photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water and air. In this work, nano TiO2 particles deposited on crude nonmetallic mineral were prepared by a Sol-gel process, the photocatalyst for degradation of chloroform was tested and optimized with respect to TiO2 loading, catalyst dosage and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSoil Degradation Risk Prediction Integrating RUSLE with Geo-information Techniques, the Case of Northern Shaanxi Province in ChinaMushtak T. Jabbar, Xiaoling ChenThis research integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) with RS, GIS and GPS techniques to quantify soil erosion risk and the northern part of Shaanxi province in China was taken as a case. A system was established for rating soil erodibility, slope length/gradient, rainfall erosivity and conservation practices. The rating values served as inputs into a modified Revised … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Ethanol and Methyl Groups on the Degradation of Xylenes in SoilIrajá Nascimento, Ricardo Baldasso, Kira ManfrediniThe main objective of the present study was to assess the influence of ethanol on the evaporation profile of xylenes (ortho + meta and para isomers) in active (with microorganisms) and inert (without microorganisms) soils. The vapors from four sealed flasks containing inert soil + neat xylenes, active soil + neat xylenes, inert soil + xylenes + ethanol and active … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 25 Jul 2015 · 6,622 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Novel Method for the Non-Destructive Assessment of Strength Degradation and Re-Use Potential of Weathered Float Glass From Facades: A Proof of Concept StudyFred Veer, Mauro Overend, Irene Sofokleous, Chris NoteboomLack of knowledge about the properties of weathered (used) glass is currently a major barrier to glass reuse. This results in probably unnecessary recycling or down-cycling of architectural glass at the end of life. Avoiding this creates a significant opportunity to reduce resource depletion and decarbonize the built environment. This can be done by developing an optical non-destructive test method … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 19 Oct 2023 · 9,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGreen Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using Extract of Disporopsis Longifolia for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene BlueKhieu Thi Tam, Dang Van Thanh, Huu Tap Van et al.In this report, the silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs)were successfully synthesized in a simple one-pot method by the leaf and stemextract of Disporopsis longifolia as reducing, capping agents, andstabilizers for the first time. The optimal extract amount, AgNO3concentration, reaction temperature, and time for the AgNPs synthesis wereidentified using Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 5 · 23 Nov 2022 · 6,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrevention of Desertification and Land Degradation using Black Saxaul in Arid ConditionsBirzhan Yessimbek, Bulkajyr Mambetov, Ruslan Akhmetov et al.The harsh climate of the arid zone determines several biological features in black saxaul plantations. Therefore, the study of the growth and condition of artificial plantations, depending on the use of physiologically active moisture-absorbing substances and growth biostimulants, is of particular practical importance. In the Moinkum sands of the Zhambyl region (Kazakhstan), observations of the growth and development of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2022 · 5,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUncertainty Impact of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient on the Concrete Chemical DegradationA. BadaouiReinforced concrete is the construction material widely used in civil engineering. However, knowledge of its long-term performance and the uncertain impact of the environment on his behaviour make it difficult to accurate assessment of the durability of structures with time. When a structure is put into service, it is likely to damage, which origin can be physical, mechanical or chemical. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDegradation of High Voltage Polymeric Insulators in Arid Desert's Simulated Environmental ConditionsYasin KhanProblem statement: High Voltage (HV) polymeric insulators are replacing ceramic insulator commonly used for HV outdoor networks due to their ease of handling, reliability and cost. However, their long term performance and reliability are major concerns to power utilities. Approach: To investigate their performance in arid desert's conditions, two types of HV composite insulators were aged as per International Electrochemical … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDynamics of Mobile Phosphorus and Potassium in the Soils of Agricultural Lands of Kostanay RegionAlmabek Nugmanov, Aliya Yskak, Tatiana Paramonova et al.Soil phosphorus deficiency is a growing constraint on crop productivity in the agricultural lands of the Kostanay Region, Republic of Kazakhstan, yet systematic data on the spatial dynamics of mobile phosphorus and potassium across soil types remain limited.
