Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcoustic Properties of Innovative Material from Date Palm FibreLamyaa Abd AL-Rahman, Raja Ishak Raja, Roslan Abdul Rahman, Zawawi IbrahimProblem statement: An organic material is one of the major requirements to improve living environment and the invention of materials need to consider for the best solution. This study presents an experimental investigation on pure porous from Date Palm Fibre (DPF). The effectiveness of sound absorbers depends on structural architecture of this material. This study was conducted to examine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 17 Jul 2012 · 8,094 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreen Building Construction Thermal Isolation Materials (Rockwool)Mahmoud ItewiProblem statement: Building insulation consisting roughly to anything in a structure that is utilizes as insulation for any reason. Thermal insulation in structures is a significant feature to attaining thermal comfort for its tenants. Approach: Insulation decreases unnecessary warmth loss or gain and can reduce the power burdens of heating and cooling structures. It does not automatically having anything to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 9,422 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetics of Manganese Uptake by Wetland PlantsA.E. Ghaly, A. Snow, M. KamalThe aim of this study was to assess the kinetics of Mn removal by broad-leaved cattail, soft stem bulrush, soft rush and wool grass plants from contaminated wastewater under laboratory conditions. The approach used was based on a first order kinetic model which depended on the initial heavy metal concentration in the wastewater and allowed for the evaluation of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,324 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetics of Iron Uptake by Wetland PlantsA.E. Ghaly, A. Snow, M. KamalThe aim of this study was to assess the kinetics of Fe removal by broad-leaved cattail, soft stem bulrush, soft rush and wool grass plants from contaminated wastewater under laboratory conditions. The approach used was based on a first order kinetic model which allowed for the evaluation of the specific metal uptake rate and the maximum accumulation of the metal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,865 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishment and Evaluation of the Vegetative Community in A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC.C. Galbrand, A.M. Snow, A.E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA surface flow constructed wetland, designed to curve in a kidney shape in order to increase the length to width ratio to 5:1 was used to treat runoff from an industrial park. A natural wetland system located approximately 200 m downstream of the constructed wetland was selected to act as the vegetative community model for the constructed wetland. The selected … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,574 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of The Biological Integrity of The Native Vegetative Community In A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC. C. Galbrand, A. M. Snow, Abdel E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA study was conducted to evaluate the biological integrity of a constructed wetland receiving landfill leachate and stormwater runoff from the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The biological integrity of the constructed wetland was tested in the second growing season using vegetative community monitoring. The metrics analyzed were species diversity, species heterogeneity (dominance) and exotic/invasive species abundance. There was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,998 accessesView PDF Cite
