Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment on Biocides Bioaccumulation in Mullet Liza klunzingeri in Kuwaiti Waters, off the Arabian GulfA.H. Bu-Olayan, B. V. ThomasBiocides, such as formaldehyde (HCHO), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and glutaraldehyde (C5H8O2) that are commonly used in thermal, desalination and power plants and industries were tested on the commercially important mullet fish, Liza klunzingeri to determine the environmental contamination in the stressed ecosystem of Kuwait Bay sites. Multi-factor Probit analysis toxicity tests (96 h) on L. klunzingeri showed the lowest observed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,768 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFiber Laser Beam Welding Between Niobium and TitaniumRafael Humberto de Mota Siqueira, Isabela Atilio, Caroline Cristine de Andrade Ferreira et al.Niobium and titanium are difficult to weld because of many factors, such as their tendency to oxidize and burn and the relatively high melting temperatures. Here, fiber laser beam welding has been proposed to weld Nb and Ti sheets in overlap geometry. In the current research, one millimeter thick CP-Ti was placed at the top and a 3 mm pure … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2020 · 7,715 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRELATIONSHIPS AMONG INDICATORS OF FITNESS, FATNESS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK FACTORS IN ADOLESCENTSRobert Malina, Stephen-Mark Cooper, John Young et al.In adults, fatness and low cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with a higher prevalence of chronic disease risk and mortality. The association between measures of physical fitness and fatness upon cardiovascular risk in youth, however, is less clear. The effects of adiposity and physical fitness upon cardiovascular disease risk factors in youth are receiving increasing attention but studies that have examined … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2012 · 8,114 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarmonics Study and Comparison of Z-source Inverter with Traditional InvertersB. Justus Rabi, R. ArumugamThis paper presents an Impedance Source Inverter for A.C electrical drives. The impedance source inverter employs a unique impedance network cable with inverter main circuit and rectifier. By controlling the shoot-through duty cycle, the z-source inverter system using MOSFETS provide ride-through capability during voltage sags, reduces line harmonics, improves power factor and high reliability, and extends output voltage range. Analysis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,281 accessesView PDF Cite
