Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIntegration 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Electrochemical Investigation of the Redox Properties of Murexide in Aqueous and Non-Aqueous MediaHossnia S. MohranKnowledge of solvent effects on the redox properties of Murexide (Mu) is important for understanding its role as an electron acceptor in analytical and inorganic chemistry. In the present study, an investigation of the electrochemical behavior of the compound by both Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions was undertaken. It is suggested … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental Investigation of Single Pass, Double Duct Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) Air Collector with CPC and FinsM. Ebrahim Ali Alfegi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Yusof Hj Othman, Baharudin Bin YatimThe temperature of photovoltaic modules increases when it absorbs solar radiation, causing a decrease in efficiency. This undesirable effect can be partially avoided by applying a heat recovery unit with fluid circulation (air or water) with the photovoltaic module. Such unit is called photovoltaic/thermal collector (pv/t) or hybrid (pv/t). An experimental investigation of a solar air heater with photovoltaic cell … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,987 accessesView PDFCite
