Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Inflow Simulation for Searching Rule CurvesAnongrit Kangrang, Anujit Phumphan, Witsanukorn ChaiyapoomRule curves are basic monthly guidelines for long term reservoir operation. Generally, the optimal rule curves are searched by reservoir simulation model and optimization techniques. A traditional reservoir simulation does not consider the risk of reservoir operation caused by natural uncertainty from inflow. A stochastic simulation model embedded genetic algorithm model is developed for searching the optimal rule curves in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,303 accessesView PDFCite

YUSAF, Hadi RAHIMIA comprehensive combustion analysis has been conducted to evaluate the performance of a commercial DI engine, water cooled two cylinders, in-line, naturally aspirated, RD270 Ruggerini diesel engine using waste vegetable cooking oil as an alternative fuel. In order to compare the brake power and the torques values of the engine, it has been tested under same operating conditions with diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoluble Proteins, Proline, Carbohydrates and Na+/K+ Changes in Two Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) Cultivars under in vitro Salt StressFariba Amini, Ali A. EhsanpourThe effect of NaCl stress on soluble proteins, proline, carbohydrates and Na+/K+ of two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivars Isfahani and Shirazy were studied. Seeds were germinated on medium containing only water agar, then transferred to MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of NaCl (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 mM) for 21 days. Increasing of salinity resulted in increasing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Chemical Admixtures on the Engineering Properties of Tropical Peat SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Thamer A. Mohamed, Shukri MaailThis research describes a study on the effect of chemical (cement and lime) admixtures on the index and engineering properties (compaction and unconfined strength) of tropical peat soils. The ordinary Portland cement and hydrated lime were used. The amounts cement and lime added to the peat soil sample, as a percentage of the dry soil mass was in the range … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 8,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Mangrove Swamps Using Nutrient Formula Produced From Water Hyacint (Eicchornia crassipes)Frank Anayo Orji, Abiye Anthony Ibiene, Phillip O. OkerentugbaLaboratory-scale studies were carried out using a nutrient formula produced from Eicchornia crassipes plant to achieve bioremediation of crude oil impacted mangrove soil. In a 70 day study, the culturable heterotrophic bacterial population of the Eichhornia crassipes recipe increased from 6.26×105 Cfu/g to 2.69×107 Cfu/g. The control set-up had its total culturable bacterial count increased from 5.76×105 Cfu/g to 1.24×106 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Animal Manure Application Rates on Soil Moisture Conservation at, Somali Regional State, EthiopiaTekilil WoldeThe Ethiopian economy is mainly agrarian. It employs 85% of the population and contributes 45% of the gross domestic product and 90% of the national export earnings but agriculture in Ethiopia is dominated by rainfed farming with low productivity specially dry land part of the country like Somali region. As a result, crops have severe moisture stress through their growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Aug 2019 · 7,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDevelopment of Three Bacteria Consortium for the Bioremediation of Crude Petroleum-oil in Contaminated WaterAbdualdaim Mohammed Mukred, Aidil Abd Hamid, Ainon Hamzah, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffWe have to developed active microbial consortium that could be of higher degradation of crude oil contaminated groundwater, wastewater aeration pond and biopond at the oil refinery Terengganu Malaysia. Among four isolates that showed good growth only three different isolates (Acinetobacter faecalis WD2, Staphylococcus. sp DD3 and Neisseria elongate TDA4.) were selected based on the growth ability and degradation.

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Light Exposure and Nitrogen Source on the Production of Oil from Freshwater and Marine Water MicroalgaeMariam Al Hattab, Abdel GhalyThe biomass yield and oil content of Chlorella saccharophila (freshwater) and Tetraselmis suecica (marine) microalgae were investigated using various nitrogen source (ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate and combination of nutrients) at various light durations (9, 16 and 24 h). NaHCO3 was used as the carbon source. The nitrogen concentration, temperature and pH were maintained at 70 mg/L, 22°C and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 8 Dec 2014 · 7,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBeta-2-Microglobulin in Autism Spectrum DisordersPaula Goines, Joseph Schauer, Luke Heuer et al.Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are heterogeneous neurodevelopmental diseases of unknown etiology. There are no biological markers for ASD and current diagnosis is based on behavioral criteria. Recent data has shown that MHC I, a compound involved in adaptive immune function, is also involved in neurodevelopment, synaptic plasticity and behavior. It has been suggested that altered MHC I expression could play … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
