Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAre Improvements in Physical Fitness after an Exercise Program Related to the Symptomatology in Patients with FibromyalgiaBorja Sanudo, Luis Carrasco, Moisés de Hoyo, Nicolae OchianaProblem statement: Physical exercise is considered one of the main strategies in management of Fibromyalgia (FM); While many studies have shown relevant improvements in the patients’ physical condition and psychological status, the efficacy of these treatments have not yet been completely determined and whether or not these improvements are related with symptom severity is still debated. The aim of this … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of an Oxidation Ditch System with a Disc AeratorAbdel Ghaly, Ashley ThistleProblem statement: The oxidation ditch system has been used to treat various types of wastewaters. Several types of aerators are used to supply the treatment process with oxygen. Among these devices, the disc aerator has certain advantages regarding foam generation over the brush and paddle type rotors, but the main disadvantages of this aerator is the limited oxygenation capacity. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioethanol Production from Rice StrawNutawan Yoswathana, Phattayawadee Phuriphipat, Pattranit Treyawutthiwat, Mohammad Naghi EshtiaghiProblem statement: Rice straw has been treated with different chemical (acid, alkali) and physical (subcritical water, ultrasound) methods to convert lignocellulose material to sugar. In addition enzyme treatment of pretreated samples has been applied to improve the conversion of lignocellulose material in sugar. Approach: Sulfuric acid at concentration of 1-9% was applied for acid treatment. For alkali treatment was sodium … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 18,056 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Potential of Extended Aeration System for Sago Effluent TreatmentWahi Abd Rashid, Hamdan Musa, Wong Sing King, Kopli BujangProblem statement: Sago effluent contains large amount of organic material which has a potential to cause water pollution. In order to reduce this problem, an experiment was conducted to remove organic material from sago effluent using lab scale of Extended Aeration (EA) system. Approach: The EA system consisted of the combination of physical and biological treatment unit. For Physical Treatment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) Roots Response to Mechanization in Bernam Series SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: Field practices involving the use of mechanization in oil palm plantations could result in soil compaction which alters the soil physical properties. The gradual deterioration of soil physical conditions could restrict the growth and function of roots. This study was carried out to evaluate the response of oil palm roots to changes in soil physical properties due to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMachinery Compaction Effects on Physical Properties of Bernam Series in an Oil Palm PlantationZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: Introduction of mechanisation in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations could result in soil compaction and cause soil degradation. This could be a serious problem in the future due to increase in size, weight and transportation frequency of machines used. Objectives: This trial was carried out to evaluate the effect of different trailer weights and transportation frequencies on the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Trichomes on the Plant Epidermic Surface Disturb Ants Locomotion?Danon Clemes Cardoso, Maykon Passos Cristiano, Lenise Cristina Moraes Vilela, Tiago de Arruda MartinsProblem Statement: Many morphological characteristics, both physical and chemical, are used in the defense against herbivores on plants. Trichomes are structures used by plants as physics defense and when associated with glands combine physics and chemistry defense. Many species of ants are herbivores and use leaves and seeds, others ants use Extra Floral Nectars as a food resource, and the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Reuse Potential of Chemical Sludge from Textile Wastewater Treatment Plants in India-A Hazardous WasteHema Patel, Suneel PandeyProblem statement: This study was conducted to explore the reuse potential of the chemical sludge (considered as hazardous waste as per Indian Government Hazardous Waste Management Rules) generated from combined effluent treatment in textile clusters. These textile clusters mainly cover the cotton dyeing and printing operations. Approach: Therefore, treatability studies of chemical sludge were conducted using solidification/stabilization treatment to examine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Stages of Maturity and Ripening Conditions on the Physical Characteristics of TomatoK.M. Moneruzzaman, A.B.M.S. Hossain, W. Sani, M. SaifuddinThe study was carried out to undertake the effect of different stages of maturity and ripening conditions on the physical characteristics of tomato fruit during the process of ripening. Fruit of three maturity stages viz., mature green, half ripen and full ripen were kept under three ripening conditions viz., floor without covering(control), covering with straw and CaC2+ straw covering. Data … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,543 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
