Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBONE MEAL AS ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT FOR ACIDIC AND METAL CONTAMINATED ACID MINE DRAINAGE WATER EFFLUENT: LAB SCALECarolyn Payus, Olga David, Moh Pak YanThe typical methods of treatment for acidic and metal contaminated water effluent such as the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) will always focus on either civil engineering methods, such as disposal, excavation, drainage and encapsulation or process based technologies such as effluent washing and treatment. These techniques are not environmental friendly, costly and unsustainable, thus environmental damaging. Nowadays, there is a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2014 · 7,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram of Bacteria Isolated from Automated Teller Machines Within Abakaliki MetropolisOkoro Nworie, Mbaba Mercy, Anyim Chukwudi et al.The Automated Teller Machine (ATMs) is likely to be contaminated with various microorganisms due to their vast dermal contact by multiple users. The metallic keypads of ATMs were examined to investigate their potentials as source of bacterial contamination and also the antibiogram of the isolated organisms. The study lasted from August, 2012 to October, 2012 involving several procedures like culturing, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 9 Feb 2013 · 8,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Radial and Axial Flow Chromatography for Monoclonal Antibody Downstream Processing at Bench and Pilot ScalesAli Demirci, Frank Leu, F. James BaileyAxial Flow Chromatography (AFC) is widely used for the purification of therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies (MAbs). However, AFC columns can generate high pressure drops across the resin bed, preventing operation of the column at high flow rates especially at pilot or manufacturing-scales. Radial Flow Chromatography (RFC) was developed to provide lower pressure drops during chromatographic separations. In these studies, small and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 11,508 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: This study aimed to decrease water consumption in household usages and to involve and encouraging the pioneer students in voluntary efforts to reduce domestic water. The study sample consisted of 121 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 20 Jun 2012 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation of Diesel Contaminated Soils Using Surfactants: Coulumn StudyE. Salehian, A. Khodadadi, B. HosseiniThis study presents the experimental remediation studies of diesel contaminated soil with Sodium Deducible Sulfate (SDS) as surfactants using column tests. Sandy selected soil had the grain size distribution of # 40 meshes to the # 200 mesh range. The soil columns were contaminated with adequate diesel amount to achieve the concentration of 10000 and 20000 ppm in soil. 0.1, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Jun 2012 · 8,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Application of Local Wisdom for Production of Condiment Isan' Food Ingredient into CommercialNitchapanrawee PhengpholProblem statement: The problem of the research derives from a lack of study and understanding about the production of condiment Isan food and ingredients being introduced into commercial, even though Isan food is popular among consumers widespread both inside and outside the country. The government introduced a policy to expand trade to create an export value of Isan products. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Evaporation in Degrading the "Oil Lakes"Al Rashed Ahamad, Colin BarkerProblem statement: Oil Spills are degraded by aerobic bacteria, water washing, evaporation and oxidation. In the absence of water the first two of these processes cannot operate. This is the situation in the low rainfall environment of the Kuwaiti desert where oil lakes still persist 20 years after the initial spills. The oils contain longer chain n-alkanes but have lost … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 6,747 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEco-Efficient Product Design Using Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) PrinciplesIssac Lim Sing Sheng, Teoh Kok-SooProblem statement: In recent years, much attention has been focused on the eco-efficiency of product development. The majority of environmental decisions are only made in the later stages of product development where not much modification can be done. To produce eco-efficient products, environmental decisions ought to be considered in the early stages of product development. With the demand of developing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,983 accessesView PDFCite
