Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Heat Moisture Treatment Using Different Solvents and Incubation Times on Resistant Starch Formation of Rice FlourAnuchita Moongngarm, Piyatida Srijinda, Tatdao Paseephol et al.The thermal and pasting properties and Resistant Starch (RS) formation of high amylose rice flour were investigated at 121°C using different solvents and storage times. The samples treated with water and lactic acid 10 mmol/L with storage times 0, 24, 48 and 72 h had the highest degree of gelatinization, ranging from 98.64 to 99.86%. The samples treated with ethanol … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 9 Sep 2015 · 7,383 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCATION-EXCHANGE MEMBRANES WITH POLYANILINE SURFACE LAYER FOR WATER TREATMENTDinar Dilshatovich Fazullin, Gennady Vitalevich Mavrin, Michael Pavlovich SokolovIon-exchange membranes are widely used in modern technologies, particularly in the field of water treatment and make it possible to considerably reduce expenses for wastewater treatment and ensure high degree of purification. Currently, perfluorinated sulfated proton-conducting membranes are often used, such as NAFION and its Russian analogue, MF-4SK based on co-polymerization product of a perfluorinated vinyl ether with tetrafluoroethylene. However, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 13 Sep 2014 · 7,408 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW THERMAL PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF METALS FROM ZINC-CARBON AND ALKALINE SPENT BATTERIESGirolamo Belardi, Roberto Lavecchia, Franco Medici et al.The aim of this study is the thermal recovery of manganese and zinc from a mixture of zinc-carbon and alkaline spent batteries containing 40.9% of Mn and 30.1% of Zn after a preliminary physical treatment. Separation of the metals is carried out on the basis of their different phase change temperatures, the boiling point of zinc being 906°C and 1564°C … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 26 Jul 2014 · 6,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition Dependent Structural and Thermal Properties of SM2O3 Doped Zinc Fluoroborate GlassesSudha D. Kamath, Akshatha Wagh, M.P. AjithkumarGlasses based on Sm3+ doped zinc fluoroborate have been synthesized and characterized. Formation of glass has been investigated in the 30 ZnF2-20 TeO2-(50-x) B2O3-x Sm2O3 matrix. Fast quenching is required to prevent melt crystallization and adequate heat treatment to diminish thermal stress, which results in an efficient amorphous material. The Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 15 Jul 2014 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarly Age Thermal Conditioning Improves Broiler Chick's Response to Acute Heat Stress at Marketing AgeAhmed M. Hassan, P. Gopal ReddyProblem statement: Acute heat stress at marketing age especially in broiler chickens raised in open houses with reduced means of heat exchange leads to economic losses. The objective of this study was to determine beneficial effects of early age thermal conditioning in reducing adverse effects of acute heat stress and decrease losses. Approach: Ninety one day-old broiler chicks were randomly … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 8,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Melatonin in Prevention of Neuropathy in STZ-Induced Diabetic RatsNasser Zangiabadi, Vahid Sheibani, Majid Asadi-Shekaari et al.Problem statement: Diabetes mellitus occurs mainly with chronic polyneuropathy, and oxidative stress plays an important role in emergence of most neurologic and behavioral changes in diabetic patients. Many studies have focused on the beneficial effects of various antioxidants such as melatonin on diabetic neuropathy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of melatonin in prevention of neuropathy … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 9,362 accessesView PDFCite
