Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFungal Culture Systems for Production of Antioxidant Phenolics Using Pecan Nut Shells as Sole Carbon SourceMiguel A. Medina, Ruth E. Belmares, Antonio Aguilera-Carbo et al.Problem statement: Many agro-industrial wastes have little or none utilization, when these materials could be a very rich source of several value-added compounds, such as: the pecan nut shells, which contain Antioxidant Phenolic (AP) molecules like tannins. Approach: In this study, a bioprocess for the liberation of AP from Pecan Nut Shells (PNS) was described. A chemical characterization of raw … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTemperature Optimization for Bioethanol Production from Corn Cobs Using Mixed Yeast StrainsClarence S. Yah, Sunny E. Iyuke, Emmanuel I. Unuabonah et al.Problem statement: Dilute sulphuric acid and enzymatic hydrolysis methods were used for sugar extraction. Xylose and glucose sugars were obtained from corn cobs. Approach: Acid hydrolysis of corn cobs gave higher amount of sugars than enzymatic hydrolysis. Results: The results showed that optimal temperature and time for sugar fermentation were approximately 25°C and 50 h by two yeast strains (S. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,345 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Mixing Ratio and Size of Egg-Shell on Boiling and Compression Test of Mixed CharcoalBopit Bubphachot, Rujipas Seeladlao, Songchai WiriyaumpaiwongProblem statement: The use of waste material is one of the options to add value to the residue. Nowadays, solid fuel development is necessary in current situation due to high price fossil fuel and the reduction of resource. Wood charcoal is widely used in the country which has abundant of forest. Becoming charcoal, it needs to be burnt under optimum … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,647 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Resources Management in Various Scenarios Using Numerical ModelS. Askari Marnani, M. Chitsazan, Y. Mirzaei, B. JahandidehProblem statement: Iran is an arid country and only small percent of its water demand is met by rainfall. At present, about 55% of Iran's water being supplied by aquifers and 45% from surface water. Population growth, joint with economic development and rapid growth in industry and farming, has caused a vast increase in demand for water in Iran. But … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 13,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Field Programmable Gate Array Implementation of Basic Building Blocks for Power-Efficient Baugh-Wooley MultipliersMuhammad H. Rais, Bandar M. Al-Harthi, Saad I. Al-Askar, Fahad K. Al-HusseinProblem statement: As growing demands on portable computing and communication systems, the power-efficient multipliers play an important role. In these multipliers basic multiplication follows the Baugh-Wooley algorithms and can easily be implemented using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices because the development cost for Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) are high. These algorithms should be verified and optimized before implementation. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,129 accessesView PDFCite
