Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Composition, Nutrients and Contaminants of Typical Waste Dumping SitesH. Meuser, K. S. Grewal, R. Anlauf et al.Problem statement: The composition of wastes is quite variable depending upon the generating source and mode of collection. Most of the material from the domestic activities will be organic in nature and contains essential plant nutrients, whereas the dumping material of commercial and industrial wastes usually contains appreciable amounts of heavy and potentially toxic metals and organic pollutants. Approach: Objective … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition-Explicit Distillation Curves of Waste Lubricant Oils and Resourced Crude Oil: A Diagnostic for Re-Refining and EvaluationLisa Starkey Ott, Beverly L. Smith, Thomas J. BrunoProblem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved with a sampling approach that allows precise qualitative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolid Waste Characterization and Recycling Potential for University Technology PETRONAS Academic BuildingsAmirhossein Malakahmad, Muhammad Za’im Zaki bin Che Mohd Nasir, Shamsul Rahman Mohammed Kutty, Mohammed Hasnain IsaProblem statement: In many countries such as Malaysia, it is increasingly more difficult to find suitable locations for landfills, which are accepted by the population. These circumstances are to be found all over the world and make new strategies for waste management necessary. Approach: Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) systems are one of the greatest challenges for sustainable development. But … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Environmental and Hydraulic Performance of Bio-Composite Revetment BlocksThamer A. Mohamed, Nor A. Alias, Abdul H. Ghazali, Mohd. S. JaafarIt is necessary to develop a concrete revetment block which can cater for environment and at the same time it will be effective in protecting river banks (stabilize the slope of banks) from scouring during flood. In the present study, the environmental and hydraulic performance of the proposed revetment block was evaluated through laboratory and field tests. The tested revetment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWastewater Treatment Plant Performance Inside Multi-Soil-Layering SystemLamzouri Khaoula, Mahi Mustapha, Masunaga Tsugiyuki et al.Wastewater effluent disposal is a challenge in Moroccan rural area. Wastewater treatment is the only suitable solution to overcome these environmental constraints. Technology such as Multi-Soil-Layering (MSL) system is one of the most appropriate solution for the treatment of wastewater for small communities in rural areas. The MSL system overcomes many of the deficiencies of conventional soil treatment systems such … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2017 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Investigation of Mold Cavity Pressure of Self-Clamping Molds During Solid Tire ManufacturingSadeep Amantha Mawathage, Jayashingha Arachchige Indika Sanjeewa, Nirosh Dilruk JayaweeraThis study investigates the mold cavity pressure in self-clamping molds used for solid tire manufacturing, a sector where Sri Lanka is a leading global supplier. Our research presents a detailed investigation into the mold cavity pressure of self-clamping molds used in solid tire production. By integrating experimental data, the effects of critical parameters such as clamp bolt torque, final tire … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 2 Oct 2025 · 2,971 accessesView PDFCite
