Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Efficacy of a Bio-Based Modifier to Improve the Rheological Properties of Recycled Asphalt ShinglesMohammed Jawad, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis study investigates the use of Bio-Binder, derived from swine manure, as an additive to improve rheological properties of bitumen extracted from recycled asphalt shingles. Test results show that adding Bio-Binder to Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) leads to reduced viscosity, modulus shear complex G*, relaxation time RT and segregation. Results illustrated that the derived Bio-Binder additive can remove the negative … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2017 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOsmotic Tension, Plasticization and Viscoelastic response of amorphous Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) equilibrated in humid environmentsAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioDynamic-Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and water moisture sorption-desorption kinetics and equilibria have been parallely investigated to monitoring the environmental and thermal sensitivity of amorphous thermoplastic Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK). Morphological modification occurring in PEEK during the calorimetric and thermo-mechanical characterizations and the hygrothermal stability are presented. An interpretation based on the free energy of mixing of a polymer chains … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Jul 2016 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNear Critical Carbon Dioxide Sorption Induced Crystallization in PETAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioNear critical carbon dioxide sorption equilibria at 50°C and pressures up to 40 atms are analyzed and interpreted on the basis of the multiple sorption mechanisms possible in a glassy amorphous and semi crystalline polymer. Varying the penetrant-polymer testing temperature and external pressure it is possible to meet the full range of possible sorption behavior, from ideal Fickian diffusion to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 18 Jun 2016 · 8,006 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Timescale Microscopic Theory for Radiation Degradation of Electronic and Optoelectronic DevicesDanhong Huang, Fei Gao, D.A. Cardimona et al.A multi-timescale hybrid model is proposed to study microscopically the degraded performance of electronic devices, covering three individual stages of radiation effects studies, including ultra-fast displacement cascade, intermediate defect stabilization and cluster formation, as well as slow defect reaction and migration. Realistic interatomic potentials are employed in molecular-dynamics calculations for the first two stages up to 100 ns as well … …Space Science International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2015 · 10,235 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Recombinant Toxin Phospholipase D in Cardiac Muscle of RatsJoao Victor Capelli Peixoto, Fernando Augusto Lavezzo Dias, Carlos Estevan Nolf Damiani et al.Loxoceles spiders gender are worldwide spread and its bites can cause dermonecrosis or even a systemic effect (hemolysis, kidney and liver injury). It is believed that phospholipase D, the main component present in the venom, could be responsible for the injury. In this study, we used a recombinant form of phospholipase D (rLiD1) and evaluated its direct and systemic effects … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jun 2015 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDirect Shocks in Vibrationally Nonequilibrium Diatomic Gases at Various Distances from Critical Cross-Section of NozzleRydalevskaya Maria Alexandrovna, Voroshilova Yulia Nikolaevna, Uskov Vladimir NikolaevichThe high-temperature diatomic gas flows are considered in expanding nozzles under the conditions of a disturbance of the equilibrium distribution over vibrational levels of the molecules. The investigation of such flows is bound up with the problem of the inversion of the vibrational populations in the active mediums of molecular lasers. Under diverse values of the pressure overfall on coming … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 6,651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractREMEDIAL EFFECTS OF VITAMIN E AND L-ARGININE ON PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY IN STREPTOZOTOCIN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATSIsmaeel Bin-Jaliah, Samah El-Attar, Eman F. Khaleel et al.It was shown that hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is the main factor of diabetic peripheral neuropathies. Various pathways related to oxidative stress, vascular defect and defective endothelium dependent relaxation have been implicated in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A substantial number of studies have shown that antioxidant treatment are promising therapeutics that can prevent or correct reduced motor nerve … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN OPTIMIZATION-BASED HEURISTIC FOR A CAPACITATED LOT-SIZING MODEL IN AN AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES NETWORKSupatchaya Chotayakul, Peerayuth Charnsetthikul, Juta Pichitlamken, John KobzaThis research studies a cash inventory problem in an ATM Network to satisfy customer’s cash needs over multiple periods with deterministic demand. The objective is to determine the amount of money to place in Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and cash centers for each period over a given time horizon. The algorithms are designed as a multi-echelon inventory problem with single-item … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 1 Oct 2013 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimization of ℓ2-Norm of the KSOR OperatorA. I. Alzaki, I. K. YoussefWe consider the problem of minimizing the ℓ2-norm of the KSOR operator when solving a linear systems of the form AX = b where, A = I +B (TJ = -B, is the Jacobi iteration matrix), B is skew symmetric matrix. Based on the eigenvalue functional relations given for the KSOR method, we find optimal values of the relaxation parameter … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 8 Jan 2013 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Body Calming and Body Vitalizing Effects of Vernonia Amygdalina Leaf Extract and Leaf Powder and their MechanismsUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: Vernonia amygdalina (V. amygdalina) leaf soup is regarded by the indigenous Igbo people of South Eastern Nigeria as their best leafy vegetable soup. Despite the bitterness of the bitter leaf soup, the native eaters of the soup feel very content when they eat pounded carbohydrate foods with it.
