Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of the Ozonation Pre-treatment for Biodegradation of Aqueous Solutions of Methyltert-Butyl EtherM. Sadeghi, A. Mesdaghinia, A. Badkoubi et al.The effectiveness of ozone treatment for improving the biodegradability of recalcitrant pollutants has been proved by investigating the ozonation reaction of Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) a bioresistant gasoline oxygenate. Laboratory scale experiments have been carried out, at room temperature, by bubbling, for 120 min, ozonated air (3.4 ppm min-1 ) into 3 liter of an alkaline (pH=11.5) aqueous solution (100 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,469 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField and Laboratory Suction- Soil Moisture Relationship of Unsaturated Residual SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal H. Ali, A. AbdullahSoils located above the groundwater table such as residual soils are generally unsaturated and possess negative pore-water pressures. A soil-water (moisture) characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the water content of a soil to matric suction is an important relationship for the unsaturated soil mechanics. The SWCC essentially shows the ability of an unsaturated soil to retain water under various matric … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Field Development Scheduling, East Unity Oil Field, SudanTagwa A. Musa, Ahmed A.E. Ibrahin, Guan ZhenLiang, Fei QiIn order to improve the reservoir performance in East Unity oil field Sudan, the studies focused on characterization, modeling and simulation of the actual performance and future development. A model was constructed using a three-phase, three dimensional, black oil simulator (ECLIPSE). In this study a data from East Unity oil field Sudan started production at July 1999 was used to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Suction-rainfall Response of a Cut Slope in Unsaturated Residual Soil Using a Field Rain SimulatorBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. MariappanThis research describes the design and construction of an artificial rain simulator system and the results obtained with regards to suction-rainfall response of a cut slope in unsaturated residual soil of weathered sandstone of various weathering grades. From the field measurements, the shallow tensiometers are found to record an immediate initial increase in matric suction within the first 20 min … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,278 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Sodium Salt of 3,6-Dibutanoic-1,2,4,5-TetroxaneEduardo A. Castro, Soledad Bustillo, Jorge M. Romero et al.We report the experimental preparation of the sodium salt of 3,6-dibutanoic-1,2,4,5- tetroxane by addition of saturate solution of sodium hydroxide to the 3,6-dibutanoic-1,2,4,5-tetroxane, synthesized following the method modified by Jorge et al. The UV and IR spectra were studied from the experimental standpoint. A rather complete vibrational assignment was performed and the nature of the electronic transitions was discussed in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,640 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConformational Analysis of Trans-3, 6-Dibutanal-1, 2, 4, 5-TetroxaneEduardo A. Castro, Mariela I. Profeta, Jorge M. Romero et al.We report the results of theoretical semiempirical AM1 and PM3 molecular orbital methods on the conformational analysis of the title compound. The relative stability of different isomers and conformers are discussed on the basis of well defined electronic and steric effects, which are rather helpful in order to understand the relative stabilities. …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Data Transmission in Multimedia NetworksManimegalai Parry, N. GangatharanThis study suggests a method where the packet size of each source is adjusted according to the network bandwidth. A controller is used to trace the data transmission rate at the router. An algorithm is developed and coded in Tool Command Language. Simulation is performed on NS-2 using 4 different test cases and the results show that the proposed algorithm … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
