Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Optical Properties of ZnO-TeO2 Glass SystemH. A.A. Sidek, S. Rosmawati, Z. A. Talib et al.Problem statement: Systematic series of ZnO-TeO2 glasses with mole fraction of 0.10-0.40 ZnO content with an interval of 0.05 were studied to obtain their physical and optical properties. Approach: All the glass samples were synthesized by rapid melting quenching method under controlled conditions, while their refractive indices (n) were measured by the EL X-02C high precision ellipsometer. The room temperature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 14,077 accessesView PDFCite

AbdalrazaqProblem statement: Physical properties of phenol compound such as steric energy, charge of oxygen, ionization potential, dipole moment, LUMO and bond length have been calculated. Approach: All molecular geometries were minimized by quantum mechanic especially at (AM1) method was used to investigate the effect of a variety of substituents on the phenol (H, o-Cl, p-Cl, m-Cl, o-CH3, m-CH3, p-CH3, o-NH2, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Evaluation of Algaof Kaolin Deposits of Yemen for Industrial ApplicationAref A. AL-Shameri, Lei Xin RongProblem statement: The Barat-Algaof kaolin deposits are characterized and evaluated for its potentials as an industrial raw material. Approach: This research studied the total mineralogical composition of the kaolin deposit, chemical and physical properties as well as intercalation of kaolinite by urea. Using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Laser particle size, Centrifuge, data from UK (England) kaolin standard … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Geomechanical Properties of Tropical Organic Soils and PeatBujang B.K. Huat, Afshin Asadi, Sina KazemianProblem statement: Organic soils and peat were believed to be geotechnically problematic due to their very high compressibility, very low shear strength and difficult accessibility. Although conventional soil mechanics theory could be applied to the soils, it was found that important anomalies existed which required special considerations. Correlations between geomechanical parameters for the soils were known to be important for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Grazing Sorghum Stubble on Soil Physical Properties and Subsequent Crop PerformanceB.J. Radford, D.F. Yule, M. Braunack, C. PlayfordTwo grazing trials were conducted on a Vertosol in central Queensland to assess the effects of stubble grazing by cattle on soil properties and subsequent crop performance. Two adjacent contour bays were selected for two treatments (grazed and ungrazed) in each trial. Both trials were conducted following a grain sorghum crop. In trial 1 (during 1996) the surface soil was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Consumers Behavior on the Variables Determining Residential Property Values in Lagos, NigeriaM.O. Bello, V.A. BelloThe objective of this study was to assess the influence of consumer behaviour on the variables determining residential property values in Lagos metropolis and how Nigerian valuers are incorporating these in their valuation exercise. The survey which was carried out within a period of three months (January, February and March 2006) involved buyers and valuers which participated in the sales … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 7,206 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering Properties and Compressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat SoilYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper presents the engineering properties and compressibility behavior of various types of tropical peat soil collected from several locations in Malaysia. These soils represented fibric, hemic and sapric type of tropical peat with organic content ranging from 70% to 90%. The correlations of the various basic engineering properties of the tropical peat soils have been found to be close … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Geotechnical Properties of Penang Residual Soils with Emphasis on LandslidesFauziah Ahmad, Ahmad Shukri Yahaya, Mohd Ahmadullah FarooqiThe predominantly hilly terrain of Penang Island combined with average maximum daily temperatures ranging between 27-35°C and peak rainfall as high as 647 cm makes the overall area potentially susceptible to landslips. Over the recent past construction industry has shown a rapid growth mainly due to increase in the inflow of international tourists and other economic reasons. Eventually, the magnitude … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpgrading of Light Dewaxed Oil through Hydrofinishing and Additives Blending for Producing Automatic Transmission FluidGamal Abdel-Nasser Gohar, Mohamed Sherif El-Gayar, Abd El-Moneim Ibrahim et al.Light dewaxed oil was produced through dewaxing process of the light waxy distillate raffinate of crude oil from Western Desert of Egypt using methyl ethyl ketone/toluene mixed solvent. Hydrofinishing process was used to remove the non-hydrocarbon constituents and to improve the physicochemical properties of the produced oils such as color, viscosity index, inhibition responses, oxidation and thermal stability. The operating … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite
