Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF BIOMASS, INDIAN JUJUBA SEED (IJS) FOR REMOVAL OF CONGO REDL. Sivaramakrishna, M. Sivasankar Reddy, M. Jagadeesh et al.The present investigation deals with the removal of Congo Red (CR) from aqueous solution by using Indian Jujuba Seed (IJS) as low-cost biosorbent. The effect of pH and size experimental parameters has been investigated using a Batch adsorption technique. Adsorption data were modeled using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Adsorption kinetics was verified by pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intraparticle … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2014 · 7,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NAPIN PROMOTER ACTIVATES GENE EXPRESSION IN DEVELOPING SEEDS OF LESQUERELLA FENDLERIGrace Q. Chen, Jiann-Tsyh LinLesquerella fendleri produces industrial useful Hydroxy Fatty Acids (HFA) in seed oil. To improve oil and HFA of L. fendleri, it is desirable to use of seed-specific promoters to control the expression of target genes by genetic engineering. A seed-specific promoter fragment, -397 to -1 of a napin gene (PnapA) from Brassic napus was isolated by PCR and constructed to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2012 · 7,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSkin Firming, Skin Smoothing, Skin Blemishes Elimination and Anti-aging Effects of Increased Protein Intake in the Form of Voandzeia hypogeal Seed MealUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaStudies on the effect of excess calorie intake on the human body showed that it resulted in accumulation of excess body fat; the darkening of the skin colour and the development of a bumpy skin. Problem statement: The present study investigated the effects of increased protein intake on the human skin and on body fat. The skin firming, skin smoothing … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2011 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritional Supplements and its Effect on Quality of Life and SleepSara Sarrafi Zadeh, Khyrunnisa BegumProblem statement: Inadequate sleep has been recognized as a risk factor for poor health status. Mental stress, body pains, melatonin deficiency, late night awakening disturbing the body clock are triggers for poor quality of sleep and fatigue. Fatigue due to insomnia is a major cause for poor quality of life. Evidences suggest certain nutrients to exert profound influence on quality … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 1 Dec 2011 · 9,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGermination Ecology of Rhanterium epapposum Oliv.Sameeha Zaman, Shyamala Padmesh, Harby TawfiqProblem statement: Rhanterium epapposum, locally called Arfaj is the national flower of Kuwait. The current situation of Rhanterium epapposum is quite critical in most areas of Kuwait. In fact it has completely disappeared from most parts of the country due to a combination of overgrazing, collecting for firewood and off road driving. Approach: Rhanterium epapposum is an excellent species for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Gold (Au) Nanoparticles for Mercury AdsorptionKhairul Sozana Nor Kamarudin, Mawarni Fazliana MohamadProblem statement: Mercury is not only hazardous to human health and the environment but could also attack equipment components resulting in a mechanical failure and gas leakage. Approach: Describes the preparation of various sizes and shapes of Au nanoparticles for mercury adsorption by using polyol method under MW heating. Au nanoparticles have been synthesized by a polyol method under Microwave … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Effects of Drought and Salt Stress on Germination and Seedling Growth of Pennisetum divisum (Gmel.) Henr.Wafa’a A. Al-TaisanProblem statement: Water stress due to drought and salinity is probably the most significant abiotic factor limiting plant and also crop growth and development. Salinity and drought stresses are physiologically related, because both induce osmotic stress and most of the metabolic responses of the affected plants are similar to some extent. Water deficit affects the germination of seed and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 27,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSingle Pass Seed Selection Algorithm for k-MeansK. Karteeka Pavan, Allam Appa Rao, A.V. Dattatreya Rao, G. R. SridharProblem statement: The k-means method is one of the most widely used clustering techniques for various applications. However, the k-means often converges to local optimum and the result depends on the initial seeds. Inappropriate choice of initial seeds may yield poor results. k-means++ is a way of initializing k-means by choosing initial seeds with specific probabilities. Due to the random … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation the Substitution Capability of Oilseeds in Cropping PatternMahmoud Daneshvar Kakhki, S. Youssefzade, Hamideh Ghodrati AzadiProblem statement: Farm activity is a risky activity special in less developed countries, so all decisions and activities are affected by this phenomenon. Consideration of risk either helps to elimination of deviations in result of model or preparing tools for evolution of some policies that the aim of them is reducing the risk for farmers. Oil seed are the second … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,177 accessesView PDFCite
