Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Activation Energies on Thermal Explosion in the Interior of the EarthAmos Oladele PopoolaProblem statement: Literatures have shown that thermal processes in the interior of the earth and the classical thermal explosion are analogous and that combustion processes are characterized by ignition and explosion. The heat released during the thermal explosion that occurs in the interior of the earth requires more attention. Approach: The study investigated the role of activation energies ratio in … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2011 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrowave Assisted Bioethanol Production from Sago Starch by Co-Culturing of Ragi Tapai and Saccharomyces CerevisiaeN. Saifuddin, Refal HussainProblem statement: Environmental issues such as global warming and recent events throughout the world, including the shortage of petroleum crude oil, the sharp increase in the cost of oil and the political instability of some crude oil producing countries, have demonstrated the vulnerability of the present sources for liquid fuel. These situations have created great demand for ethanol from fermentation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Tolerant Control Using Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller Tuned by Genetic AlgorithmS. Kanthalakshmi, V. ManikandanProblem statement: The growing demand for reliability, maintainability and survivability in industrial processes has drawn significant research in fault detection and fault tolerant control domain. A fault is usually defined as an unexpected change in a system, such as component malfunction and variations in operating condition, which tends to degrade the overall system performance. The purpose of fault detection is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 6,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEquilibrium Kinetics and Isotherm Studies of Cu (II) Adsorption from Waste Water onto Alkali Activated Oil Palm AshZaira Zaman Chowdhury, Sharifuddin Mohd. Zain, Rashid Atta Khan, Abdulbari Abdulrahman AhmedProblem statement: Heavy metal accumulation in waste water could affect aquatic life, human health and overall ecosystem adversely. Therefore, in recent years much emphasis has been given for the use of industrial waste material as low cost adsorbents for removal of metallic contaminants from waste water. Approach: Present study deals with the adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of Cu (II) cation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat-Modeling of Microwave Assisted Epoxidation of Palm Acid OilN. Saifuddin, L. Wei Zhan, K. Xin NingProblem statement: While microwave chemistry could well be the most convenient, rapid and energy-saving way to initiate a chemical reaction, the issues of thermal versus microwave specific effect remain unaddressed. Approach: A three-dimensional Finite Element Model (FEM) was developed to predict temperature profile during the enzymatic epoxidation of palm acid oil using microwave heating. Three-dimensional partial differential equations are formulated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDFM of Strained-Engineered MOSFETs Using Technology CADT. K. Maiti, C. K. MaitiProblem statement: In this study, a systematic study based on Technology CAD (TCAD) was taken up for the design and Virtual Wafer Fabrication (VWF) of strain-engineered MOSFETs in Si CMOS technology. Approach: A simple manufacturable process recipe was developed to induce uniaxial stress in channel region to obtain enhanced performance in CMOS in 45 nm technology node. Results: Using Synopsys … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 7,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRal-Binding Protein is Required for the Maturation and Function of Dendritic CellsJozef Borvak, Mukesh Sahu, Varun Joy et al.Problem statement: Dendritic Cells (DCs) integrate responses of innate and adaptive immune system via transmitting pro-inflammatory and regulatory signals to naïve cells within draining lymph nodes. DCs have high capacity for endocytosis, both Clathrin-Dependent (CDE) and Caveolin-Dependent (CvDE). Approach: We have recently shown that ATP-hydrolysis by the multifunctional transporter protein RLIP76 is the primary determinant of the rate of CDE. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2010 · 8,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction of Oil from Jatropha Seeds-Optimization and KineticsSepidar Sayyar, Zurina Zainal Abidin, Robiah Yunus, Azhari MuhammadProblem statement: Jatropha curcas is a wonder plant with a variety of applications and enormous economic potentials. Oil from the seeds can be used as alternative fuel and for making biodiesel which aims to overcome energy crisis problems. In this study, extraction of Jatropha oil from seeds was optimized using organic solvent based on the amount of the extracted oil. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 13,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of the Chemokines CCL3α, CCL3α and CCL5 in Atherosclerotic PatientsAlyaa Mousa, Amani Al-Zaki, Safa Taha, Moiz BakhietChemokines recruit immune cells to inflammatory sites and promote the process of inflammation. The role of these mediators in the disease process in atherosclerosis is not fully studied. The spontaneous mRNA expression and intracellular protein production of the potential inflammatory chemokines CCL3α and CCL3β (macrophage- inflammatory protein-1α and β; CCR3α/β ligand) and CCL5 (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpgrading of Light Dewaxed Oil through Hydrofinishing and Additives Blending for Producing Automatic Transmission FluidGamal Abdel-Nasser Gohar, Mohamed Sherif El-Gayar, Abd El-Moneim Ibrahim et al.Light dewaxed oil was produced through dewaxing process of the light waxy distillate raffinate of crude oil from Western Desert of Egypt using methyl ethyl ketone/toluene mixed solvent. Hydrofinishing process was used to remove the non-hydrocarbon constituents and to improve the physicochemical properties of the produced oils such as color, viscosity index, inhibition responses, oxidation and thermal stability.
