Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMIXED CONVECTION BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW ON A VERTICAL SURFACE IN A POROUS MEDIUM SATURATED BY A NANOFLUID WITH SUCTION OR INJECTIONM. H.M. Yasin, N. M. Arifin, R. Nazar et al.An analysis of the steady mixed convection boundary layer flow past a vertical permeable surface embedded in a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid is performed in this study. Numerical solutions of the similarity equations are obtained using the shooting method. Three types of metallic or nonmetallic nanoparticles, namely Copper (Cu), Alumina (Al2O3) and Titania (TiO2) are considered by using … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 10 May 2013 · 7,165 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMass Transfer Limitation in Different Anode Electrode Surface Areas on the Performance of Dual Chamber Microbial Fuel CellBabak Salamatinia, Ali Ghannadzadeh, Mostafa Ghasemi et al.In this study, the effect of different electrode surface areas on the performance of dual chamber Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) was investigated. Four different electrodes with 12, 16, 20 and 24 cm2 surface areas were tested in an MFC system. The 20 cm2 electrode generated an output power of 76.5 mW/m2 was found to be the highest among all the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 8,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleASSESSMENT OF SURFACE WATER QUALITY IN AN ARSENIC CONTAMINATED VILLAGEKumud C. Saikia, Susmita GuptaArsenic contamination of ground water has occurred in various parts of the world, becoming a menace in the Ganga-Meghna-Brahmaputra basin (West Bengal and Assam in India and Bangladesh). Recently arsenic has been detected in Cachar and Karimganj districts of barak valley, Assam, bordering Bangladesh. In this area coli form contamination comprises the major constraint towards utilization of its otherwise ample … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 31 Aug 2012 · 7,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRemediation of Diesel Contaminated Soils Using Surfactants: Coulumn StudyE. Salehian, A. Khodadadi, B. HosseiniThis study presents the experimental remediation studies of diesel contaminated soil with Sodium Deducible Sulfate (SDS) as surfactants using column tests. Sandy selected soil had the grain size distribution of # 40 meshes to the # 200 mesh range. The soil columns were contaminated with adequate diesel amount to achieve the concentration of 10000 and 20000 ppm in soil. 0.1, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Jun 2012 · 8,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMachining Performance Study on Metal Matrix Composites-A Response Surface Methodology ApproachA. Srinivasan, R. M. Arunachalam, S. Ramesh, J. S. SenthilkumaarProblem statement: Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) have become a leading material among composite materials and in particular, particle reinforced aluminum MMCs have received considerable attention due to their excellent engineering properties. These materials are known as the difficult-to-machine materials because of the hardness and abrasive nature of reinforcement element-like Alumina (Al2O3). Approach: In this study, an attempt has been made … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2012 · 8,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDistribution, Arrangement and Interconnectedness of Cell Surface Receptor sites in the body of an OrganismUtoh-Nedosa, Uchechukwu AnastasiaCell surface receptors have been identified as the sites of disease infectivity in living organisms in a previous study. Drugs used for the treatment or cure of infections have to eliminate infections through attacking infective organisms at the cell surface receptors to which the infective organisms are attached. Problem statement: The present study examines a wide sample of living things … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 26 Jan 2012 · 7,355 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCell Surface Receptor Theory of Disease Infectivity; Body's Defence and Normal Body Functioning in Living ThingsUtoh-Nedosa, Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: A study of the pattern of Candida spp. infection of the human body and the mode and pattern of reaction of the human body to this infection showed that disease infectivity and self healing by plants followed the same procedures and patterns. Approach: A comparism of these procedures and patterns of natural self- healing of disease infection by … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Oct 2011 · 7,240 accessesView PDFCite

FauziahProblem statement: Under acidic condition, Al3+ is the most common species in solution. An experiment was conducted to study the effects of Al and/or pH on rice seed germination, root morphology and organic acids release. This study was conducted at ambient temperature in Malaysia. Approach: Two experiments were conducted: (1) Rice seeds undergoing germination were exposed to 0.5 mM CaCl2 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAbrasive Jet Polishing and its Applications in Surface FinishingZhaoze Li, Jianmin Wang, Xiaoqiang Peng et al.Problem statement: Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) is highly deterministic and versatile in producing various forms of precise optics. A typical example is the production of large off-axis aspheric mirrors and various infrared mirrors and mandrels. However, the fine periodical turning marks left in the surface critically limit its performance and they are difficult to be avoided for traditional polishing … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 26 Jul 2011 · 13,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUse of Surface Energy to evaluate Adhesion of Bituminous Crack Sealants to AggregatesEllie H. Fini, Imad L. Al-Qadi, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Jean-Francois MassonProblem statement: The performance of bituminous sealants in the field is partly controlled by properties and strength of the sealant-aggregate interface. The thermodynamic work of adhesion represents energy required for reversible separation of the two materials at the interface. The study of fracture includes the energy required for both reversible and irreversible processes during separation. Excess of work of facture … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 7,884 accessesView PDFCite
