Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of N-Acetylcysteine on Auditory Brainstem Response Threshold Shift in Rabbits Exposed to Noise and Carbon MonoxideSeyedbagher Mortazavi, Masoud Motalebi Kashani, Ali Khavanin et al.Problem statement: Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is one of the most important occupational disease in worldwide. NIHL has been found to be potentiated by simultaneous Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure. Exposure to noise plus CO is common in occupational and environmental settings. Free radicals have been implicated in cochlear damage resulting from exposure to noise and due to CO hypoxia … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,040 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cost Effective and User Friendly Approach to Design Wireline Formation TestsClara Bertolini, Giuseppe Tripaldi, Elena Manassero et al.Problem statement: Wireline formation testing (also named Mini-DSTs) are gaining more and more popularity as a possible alternative to conventional well testing especially where there are major environmental and economical constraints. The increased offshore exploration activity, which often implies highly risky and huge operational costs, makes the conventional well testing less attractive in favor of other technologies that can provide … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,665 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiesel Engine Convert to Port Injection CNG Engine Using Gaseous Injector Nozzle Multi Holes Geometries Improvement: A ReviewSemin, Abdul Rahim Ismail, Rosli Abu BakarThe objective of this study was to review the previous research in the development of gaseous fuel injector for port injection CNG engine converted from diesel engine. Problem statement: The regular development of internal combustion engines change direction to answer the two most important problems determining the development trends of engines technology and in particular, their combustion systems. They were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,631 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Impact of Obstacles on the Capacity of a LTE Network in Urban Area in the UplinkAkohoule Alex, Konate Adama, Brou Pacôme, Asseu OlivierPower control is a major issue in the deployment of 4G mobile networks. Indeed, environmental constraints (relief, Air, noise,...) affect the propagation channels of mobile network systems. The new multimedia services, which consume large amounts of radio resources (frequencies), then lead to an optimization of power control in the cellular coverage in the uplink direction. The aim is to optimize … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 17 Jan 2019 · 8,295 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeterophylly in Murraya exotica L. (Rutaceae)I. P. Astuti, Purnomo, R. Susandarini, Paul HolfordHeterophylly, the existence of different leaf types and leaflet shapes on the same plant was observed for the first time in Murraya exotica L. populations from different locations in Java, Indonesia. In each population, three types of compound leaves (paripinnate, imparipinnate and intermediate) and three types of leaflet shape (oblong, rounded and obcordate) were observed. This heterophyllous condition was found … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2016 · 7,833 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Electrical and Electromagnetic Investigation for Contaminated SiteAlberto Godio, Mario NaldiProblem statement: The environmental assessment of industrial areas is required to minimize the risk of soil and groundwater contamination. The survey of wide areas (e.g., some hectares) provides a high economical and complex logistical impact when random strategies of soil sampling are adopted. Recently, geophysical methods had been successfully adopted to drive the process of the spatial sampling of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,163 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-Cost Encoding Device for Optical Code Division Multiple Access SystemMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Boonchuan Ng, Norshilawati Mohamad Ibrahim, Sahbudin ShaariProblem statement: Instead of using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) to develop the coded spectrums, which consist of expensive elements, the grating also are highly sensitive to environmental changes and this will contribute to the increment of capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX). Approach: This study presented the development of low-cost 16-ports encoding device for Optical Code Division Multiple Access … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,638 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of a New, Rapid, Amperometric Immunosensor for the Detection of Low Concentrations of Bacteria Part II: Optimization of the System for Escherichia coliEric Carnes, Ebtisam WilkinsThe optimization of a flow-through immunoassay system was conducted to achieve rapid detection of low concentrations of E. coli bacteria. The system includes a new immunosensor that uses newly developed, disposable immunofiltration membranes to yield a system that is sensitive as well as simple. Comparison of the performance of this system with conventional immunoassays demonstrated a significantly shorter time for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,780 accessesView PDF Cite
