Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePorosity Investigation of Kosova's ClayMakfire Sadiku, Naim Hasani, Altin MeleProblem statement: Acid activated clay minerals are used as catalysts in the desulphurization of crude oil or as catalyst carrier, drilling mud, bleaching earth. Approach: The efficiency of the acid activation can be described in two ways. As increase of the surface and as increase of the cumulative pore volume after the activation. Results: In different samples of the clay … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2011 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleClay Vs. Grass: A Statistical Comparison of the French Open and WimbledonMichael R. SummersProblem statement: While most professional tennis tournaments today are played on hard courts, there is a short clay court season culminating in the French Open and an even shorter grass court season culminating in Wimbledon, where specialists on those surfaces have their chance to shine. Conventional thinking has it that these two surfaces play so differently that it is difficult … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Jun 2011 · 8,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Wall Roughness and Concentration of Clay on Erosion in the Hole Erosion TestKissi Benaissa, Parron Vera Miguel Angel, Rubio Cintas Maria Dolores et al.Problem statement: Internal soil erosion is a real threat for hydraulic infrastructures. In its final stage it develops in piping involving the formation and progression of a continuous void inside the soil between the upstream and downstream sides. The hole erosion test was introduced to characterize kinematics of piping in terms of the time left to rupture. Actual modeling approaches … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn in vitro Assessment on the Efficacy of Clay-Based Formulated Cells of Pseudomonas Isolate UTAR EPA2 for Petrol DegradationA. S.Y. Ting, M. T. Fang, C. S. TeeProblem statement: Application of free-cell forms is usually impractical to achieve satisfactory bioremediative effect because the microbes are encumbered by the biotic and abiotic stresses from the environment. Approach: In this study, a hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium (Pseudomonas isolate UTAR EPA2) was formulated with various combinations of formulative materials, comprising of clay-based carrier materials such as Bentonite (B) and Kaolin (K), enrichment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Aug 2010 · 7,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSoil Compaction and Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) Yield in a Clay Textured SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem Statement: The impacts of soil compaction on crop yields have been studied extensively by soil scientists due to declining soil productivity associated with mechanisation. However, a relationship between machine-induced soil compaction and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) yield is unclear. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of mechanization on soil physical properties and the influence … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigating the Effect of Three Nitrate Fertilizers on Nitrate Leaching under the Root Zone in Clay Loam SoilThamer Ahmed Mohammed, M. Nooshin, Megat Johari Megat Mohd. Noor, A. LiaghatProblem statements: Nitrogen fertilizer is recognized as an important factor in crop’s yield level, however more application of N fertilizers in the soil have some adverse effects on environment and especially on groundwater contamination. Perception and recognition the factors influencing nitrate transport through soil profile is helpful for fertilizer management to minimize adverse impacts on environment and nitrate leaching below … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Tillage Methods on Soil Fragmentation in Loamy-Clay SoilsYousef Abbaspour-Gilandeh, Vali Rasooli Sharabiani, Ahmad KhalilianProblem statement: Soil fragmentation is a primary aim in tillage in order to create a favorable soil environment for crop growth. Soil fragmentation is defined as the process of breakdown and crumbling of soil aggregates. Currently, there is no published research data on optimum tillage operations for seedbed preparation in loamy-clay soils of western Caspian Sea region of Iran. Approach: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation and Beneficiation of Bentonitic Clays from Pindiga Formation in Benue TroughB. B.M. Dewu, I. I. Funtua, M. O.A. Oladipo et al.Problem statement: This study aimed at evaluating and beneficiating Bentonitic clays of Pindiga Formation from the upper Benue trough in northeastern Nigeria to meet the standard required for use in oil well drilling. This will reduce the dependence on imported Bentonite into the country, increase foreign exchange, improve the country’s economy and create employment opportunities. Approach: Three clay samples from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 16 Jan 2012 · 8,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhysical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete using Recycled Clay Bricks as Coarse AggregateMohammad Yasir Abdul Hakim, Mohamed El-Zeadani, Siti Aminah OsmanRising construction waste due to demolition work, natural disasters, and development is becoming a prominent issue. To tackle this, Recycled Crushed Brick Masonry Aggregate (RCBMA) can be an ideal replacement for the limited Natural Coarse Aggregates (NCA) in the production of concrete, potentially assisting in managing construction waste and reducing the depletion of NCA. As such, this study focused on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2022 · 7,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFailure Mode and Pullout Capacity of Anchor Piles in ClayYanbing Zhao, Haixiao Liu, Mengyuan LiuAnchor piles are wildly adopted in mooring systems. However, there are still challenges in predicting the failure mode and pullout capacity of the pile. Previous Finite Element (FE) analysis was all based on the traditional small strain FE analysis. The whole pullout process of the pile cannot be simulated. Hence, the failure mode of the pile is hard to be … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2017 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
