Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF POLYETHYLENE BLACK PLASTIC MULCH ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF TWO SUMMER VEGETABLE CROPS UNDER RAIN-FED CONDITIONS UNDER SEMI-ARID REGION CONDITIONSAtif Y. MahadeenWater use efficiency in agriculture can be enhanced by several strategies mainly by reducing evaporation from the soil surface. The mulching techniques were being used widely in irrigated crop production worldwide. The mulching techniques can be also implemented in summer vegetables production under rain-fed conditions. The current study aimed at evaluating the effect of polyethylene black plastic mulch on growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 9,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Energy Aspects of Apple Drying in the Hot-Air and Infrared DryersSeyed Hashem Samadi, Issa LoghmaniehDrying is an energy-intensive process. In general, heating and evaporation require large quantities of energy. This study has been conducted to evaluate analysis for dying apple slices in two drying systems including hot-air convection and infrared drying. The apple samples were dried at temperatures of 90, 120 and 150°C and radiation intensity of 0.22, 0.31 and 0.49 W/cm2 in the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Aug 2013 · 8,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Infrared PbS Detector Prepared Using Copper Electrodes of Printed Circuit BoardHariyadi Soetedjo, Gunawan S. Prabowo, Darsono BahrunCopper layers of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) have been used as electrodes for PbS infrared structure detector to introduce low cost and simple in preparation. PbS deposition as an active layer detector has been prepared for a few micrometers in thickness using an evaporation technique under vacuum pressure at 10-6 Torr. Photoconductivity phenomenon has been observed from the measurement when … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 11 Jun 2013 · 6,571 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Optical Constants of Selenium Thin Films using the Envelope MethodNehad M. Tashtoush, Osamah ALkasassbehTwo Selenium thin films were deposited on glass substrates using thermal evaporation technique. The optical constants (refractive index, absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient and energy gap) were calculated using the Transmittance (T) spectrums of the films in the spectral range of 500-900 nm. The envelope method was used to determine optical constants. The calculated refractive index was found to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Feb 2013 · 6,340 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeural Networks Based Nonlinear Time Series Regression for Water Level Forecasting of Dungun RiverSiti Hajar Arbain, Antoni WibowoThe Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) Malaysia and Meteorological Malaysia Department (MMD) has been measured the flood characteristics benchmark which included water level, area inundation, peak inundation, peak discharge, volume of flow and duration of flooding. In terms of water levels, DID have introduced three categories of critical level stages namely normal, alert and danger levels. One of the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 13 Aug 2012 · 7,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLemon Pepper Fruit Extract (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) Suppresses the Expression of Inflammatory Mediators in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Macrophages In VitroYanti, Theodorus Eko Pramudito, Nerissa Nuriasari, Katarina JulianaProblem statement: Lemon pepper fruits (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.; Rutaceae) have been used as a traditional source against stomach ache by Batak people in North Sumatera province, Indonesia. However, its scientific evidence for treatment of inflammatory disorders particularly gastritis has not been reported. Approach: Here, we investigated the inhibitory effects of Lemon Pepper Fruit Extract (LPFE) against inflammatory biomarkers by conducting … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Feb 2012 · 9,587 accessesView PDFCite
