Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF DRYING PARAMETERS OF CERAMIC BODIESSalah Mahmoudi, Ezzeddine Srasra, Fouad ZargouniThis study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical and geotechnical analyses of representative Aptian clays in the north-east of Tunisia. X-ray diffraction reveals a predominance of illite (50-60 wt.%) associated to kaolinite and interstratified illite/smectite. The accessory minerals detected in raw materials are quartz, calcite and Na-feldspar. The average amounts of silica, alumina and alkalis are 52, 20 and 3.5 wt.%, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2014 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHair Lead Bio-Monitoring Among School Children in the Province of Cavite, PhilippinesJanet P. Macawile, Glenn L. Sia SuAirborne lead is one of the pressing environmental problems that cause neuropsychological impairments to people who are exposed to it. In assessing people’s exposure to airborne lead, bio-monitoring techniques has been used as an indicator of chemical exposure. This study aims to determine the hair lead concentrations among school children in the province of Cavite and compare the hair lead … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 22 Jan 2013 · 7,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPermeability, Strength and Filtration Performance for Uncoated and Titania-Coated Clay Wastewater FiltersMasturi, Silvia, Mahardika Prasetya Aji et al.Problem statement: Wastewater problems continue to be a relevant issue, particularly in urban areas. One promising low-cost material for manufacturing porous ceramics as water filter is clay. Clays can be blended with other materials such as polymers to obtain functional ceramic materials. Approach: Ceramic wastewater filters were fabricated from clay using both sol-gel and simple mixing methods followed by hot-pressing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 29 Feb 2012 · 8,395 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrans Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership With Japan, South Korea and China Integrate: General Equilibrium ApproachTodsadee Areerat, Hiroshi Kameyama, Shoichi Ito, Koh-en YamauchiProblem statement: The Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP) is a high standard and broad based Free Trade Agreement that aims to integrate the economies of the Asia-Pacific region. Recently, the US is pressing Japan to join the group. Japan is considering joining the TPP because of the dual considerations of its own economy and the political situation in East … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jan 2012 · 9,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpecification of Dynamic Time Series Model with Volatile-Outlier Input SeriesT. A. Lasisi, D.K. Shangodoyin, O. O. Sangodoyin et al.Problem statement: This study considers the precision of the output series generated from aberrant input series in the context of the distribution of the dynamic estimate and also investigate relative merit of analyzing residuals with outliers for a volatility input dynamic model. Approach: The study developed a methodology for checking volatility at every time point and evaluates the influence of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 1 Oct 2011 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Cost Interactive Electronic Whiteboard Using Nintendo Wii RemoteDalbir Singh, Ridha Omar, Azfar AnuarProblem statement: The application of interactive whiteboard offers extensive benefits in the learning and teaching process for classroom environment. The high cost associated with commercial interactive whiteboard may hinder its application in primary or secondary school, especially in developing countries. Thus, this study describes the methods used to create a low cost interactive and viable electronic whiteboard by using the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Generation and Recycling: Comparison of Conventional and Industrialized Building SystemsRawshan Ara Begum, Siti Khadijah Satari, Joy Jacqueline PereiraProblem statement: In the Malaysian construction industry, there is a pressing issue of minimizing construction waste, which cause significant impacts on the environment. With the increasing demand for major infrastructure projects, commercial buildings and housing development programmers, a large amount of construction waste is being produced. Adoption of prefabrication and industrialized building systems is now a priority in the industry … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 9,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuffering Capacity of Fast-Growing Species and Curing Time of UF Resin Modified With Zinc Borate and Monoammonium PhosphateIzran Kamal, Koh Mok Poh, Tan Yu Eng et al.Problem statement: Occupying a suitable hot pressing time for particleboard fabrication seems very tricky for manufacturers of the wood-based panel. Longer or shorter pressing times can affect physical and mechanical properties of the produced particleboards and that is why extra care should be given on this matter. Longer pressing time can cause resin in a particleboard to over-cure whereas shorter … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Partial Orientation in [100] Direction on the Magnetic Properties of Co-Ferrite Prepared from Nano ParticlesH. M. El-SayedChemical co-precipitation method was used for the preparation of Co-ferrite nano particles. The particle size was about 18 nm. A magnetic anisotropy of Co-ferrite could be increased by applying an external magnetic field during the pressing of the nano particles before the final sintering. This anisotropy enhanced the squareness and the coercivity of investigated samples. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDFCite
