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 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA STOCHASTIC FRONTIER APPROACH FOR MEASURING TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF SMALL-SCALE IMPROVED SALT PRODUCTION IN GUINEABoubacar Siddighi Balde, Hajime Kobayashi, Makoto Nohmi et al.Salt production is a major driving force behind the loss of mangrove in Guinea. As the traditional salt production causes increasing deforestation, the intensive exploitation of mangrove resources has now reached a critical threshold. Therefore, improved techniques using sunlight as the source of energy has been introduced as an alternative to the traditional salt production techniques which consumes a significant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 14 May 2014 · 7,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARING GIBBS ENERGY RELATIONSHIPS FOR AMMONIA VOLATILIZATIONS FROM AGRICULTURAL SOILS FOR POTATO PRODUCTIONGuodong Liu, Yuncong Li, Ashok AlvaSoil drought, that can be enhanced by global warming increases ammonia (NH3) volatilization. This laboratory study was conducted with two soils: Krome Gravelly Loam (KGL) from Florida and Warden Silt Loam (WSL) from Washington State and two fertilizers: Ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] or ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). Two water regimes including 20 and 80% Field Capacity (FC) were used at 20°C which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Architecture of Maximum Power Point Tracking for Ultra-Low-Power Based Hybrid Energy Harvester in Ubiquitous Devices: A ReviewMichelle Lim Sern Mi, Sawal Hamid Muhammad Ali, Md Shabiul IslamThis research work presents a novel architecture of an Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) based Hybrid Energy Harvester (HEH) consisting of multiple input sources such as kinetic, thermal and solar energy, harvested from passive human power. Having multiple ambient sources mitigates limitations caused by single sources especially for bodily-worn applications; however, this results in impedance mismatch among the different integrated sources. To overcome … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractACCELERATION AND PARTICLE FIELD INTERACTIONS OF COSMIC RAYS II: CALCULATIONSA. Tawfik, A. Saleh, M.T. Ghoneim et al.The Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) is still a one of the most controversial physical problems, especially that all potential acceleration mechanisms are not entirely able to explain the source of UHECR and their energy scale. Based on our generic acceleration model, that suggests different types of electromagnetic interactions between the cosmic charged particles and the different configurations of … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jul 2013 · 7,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectric Field in Polymeric Isolators of the 500kV Voltage ClassVitor Chaves De Oliveira, Huederson Aparecido Botura Da Silva, Alexandre De Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira MotaThis study presents a detailed study of the electric field in polymeric isolators of the 500kV voltage class through modifications in the dimensions of the anti-corona ring. That is, by varying the three dimensions of the anti-corona ring: height (h), distance of the anti-corona ring conductor (r) and the diameter of the anti-corona ring conductor (d); it was possible to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 12 Jun 2013 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDegumming of Raw Silk Fabric with Help of Marine Extracellular ProteaseDas Sumana, Mathummal Sudarshan, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriProtease secreting microbe was isolated and characterized on the basis of their morphological, biochemical, physiological and 16S rDNA based molecular properties. The extracellular protease was quantified and characterized. Protease was used for different time (4, 8, 12 and 24 h) at different temperature (RT and 37°C) for optimization of the degumming process for raw silk fabric with enzyme dosage (0.2-1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of Closed Loop LCL-T Resonant DC-to-DC Converter Using Low Cost Embedded ControllerM. Annamalai, M. Vijaya KumarThe aim of this study is to simulate and implement open loop and closed loop controlled DC-DC converter for stand-alone wind energy system. Wind turbines, however, are not always very efficient in the wind speeds that are most common to a region. Typically, wind energy systems are designed to be highly efficient in high wind speed and have a cut-off … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 6 Feb 2013 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of High Fiber and Low Carbohydrate Diets on Owner-Perceived Satiety of Cats During Weight LossMartha Cline, Angela Witzel, Tamberlyn Moyers et al.Food-seeking behaviors exhibited by cats during weight loss programs are frustrating to owners. Two categories of therapeutic weight loss diets are available for cats: High Fiber (HF) and Low Carbohydrate (LC). The objective of this study was to determine if cat owners perceive a difference in satiety when their cats are fed either a HF or LC diet during a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 8 Jan 2013 · 7,809 accessesView PDFCite
