Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Pollutant Diesel Fuels on Neurobehavioral Performance among Workers in Locomotive DepotAnuar Ithnin, Radiah Abu Hasan Shaari, Mazrura Sahani et al.Problem statement: Diesel fuel contains various combinations of hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene and toluene which can cause health problems in major exposure of that pollutant in locomotive depots. Studies were conducted to evaluate the exposure towards diesel fuel pollutant and the effect on neurobehavioral performances among workers in locomotive depots. Approach: Method used was questionnaire form and neurobehavioral … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,461 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn in vitro Assessment on the Efficacy of Clay-Based Formulated Cells of Pseudomonas Isolate UTAR EPA2 for Petrol DegradationA. S.Y. Ting, M. T. Fang, C. S. TeeProblem statement: Application of free-cell forms is usually impractical to achieve satisfactory bioremediative effect because the microbes are encumbered by the biotic and abiotic stresses from the environment. Approach: In this study, a hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium (Pseudomonas isolate UTAR EPA2) was formulated with various combinations of formulative materials, comprising of clay-based carrier materials such as Bentonite (B) and Kaolin (K), enrichment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Aug 2010 · 7,653 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance Assessment of Solar Chimneys: Part I – Impact of Chimney Height on Power OutputErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceSolar chimney is a truly sustainable and green energy technology, which is a potential alternative to carbon-based energy economy. The working principle of solar chimneys is based on the buoyant nature of air to turn a turbine that produces electrical power. Solar chimneys are highly in the centre of interest among all solar energy applications since they enable both day … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 29 Jun 2019 · 8,200 accessesView PDF Cite

Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.Objectives: This study was focused on the finite element techniques to investigate the effect of surface treatment on the fatigue life of the vibrating cylinder block for new two-stroke free piston engine using random loading conditions. Motivation: An understanding of the effects related to the random loading is necessary to improve the ability of designers to accurately predict the fatigue … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,142 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSimplified Analysis of the Lining Behavior During Earthquakes in Deep Rock TunnelsPierpaolo OresteThe sizing of the lining of a tunnel requires to consider not only the static loads transmitted from the surrounding rock, but also the effects of earthquakes on the stresses and strains of the lining. The detailed evaluation of the interaction earthquake-lining using numerical methods typically requires very long calculation time and can be limited to the verification of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 May 2015 · 6,905 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordToxicity Testing and the Effect of Landfill Leachate in Malaysia on Behavior of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758; Pisces, Cyprinidae)Jaffar Y.M. Alkassasbeh, Lee Yook Heng, Salmijah SurifProblem Statement: Landfill leachate had been implicated in environmental pollution, developmental anomalies, birth defect and surface and groundwater pollution worldwide. This study has been conducted to determine the toxicity of landfill leachate from three different landfills in Malaysia on fry common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758; Pisces, Cyprinidae) in combination with some physico-chemical parameters analysis. Approach: Leachates were collected from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,029 accessesView PDF Cite
