Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evidence for the Role of Natural Radioactivity in Influencing Viability of Commensal MicroorganismsMarco RuggieroTo investigate the feasibility of culturing edible microbes, classified as probiotics for human consumption, in commercially available, naturally radioactive, mineral water; to compare their viability with that of the same microbes cultured in deuterium-depleted water. A diversified array of probiotics was cultured in two different naturally radioactive mineral waters, or in deuterium-depleted water in order to assess the effects of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 26 May 2021 · 8,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGastroprotective Effects of β-sitosterol and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside from Bridelia ferruginea Stem BarkEjike Marcellus Nnamani, Peter Achunike Akah, Charles Ogbonnaya Okoli et al.The methanol extract of Bridelia ferruginea Benth. (Euphorbiaceae) stem bark (BFME) was partitioned in chloroform-methanol-water (2:2:1) mixture to obtain the Chloroform (CF) and Aqueous Methanol (AMF) fractions. The BFME, CF and AMF were screened for antiulcer activity using indomethacin-induced ulcer as activity guide. The CF provided the highest gastroprotection and was subsequently fractionated in a silica gel (60-200 mesh) column … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2021 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Coliform Content in Sewage Treatment Plant Using a Sand Filtration System with Potassium Permanganate PowderSona Pazdar, Saeid Eslamian, Seyedeh Zahra Hosseini-Teshnizi et al.Reuse of refined sewage with two goals of providing more water and protecting the environment from pollution is one of the solutions to water supply problems and one of the potential sources for irrigation in agriculture. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of effluent disinfection using a sand filtration system to reduce microbial contamination with potassium … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 27 Jun 2019 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Omega-3 Fatty Acids Content in Commercial Omega-3 Supplements in Arab Gulf CountriesFatmah Alghamdi, Mohammed G. Embaby, Mevlüt Günal, Amer A. AbuGhazalehThe objective of this study was to analyze and compare the eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n3; DHA) content of omega-3 supplements sold in Arab Gulf Countries with the contents claimed on the product label. Thirty-one commercial supplements purchased from stores in 3 different countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain) had their fatty acid composition and content were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2020 · 7,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Reliability Calculations for the Thin Specialty Glass PV Solar PanelsDhananjay Joshi, James E. WebbThis study provides important design guidance to the Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel development efforts using the finite element based computations of the PV module under the mechanical loadings. We consider specialty thin glass (Corning Eagle XG®) as superstrate of the PV module, while a standard tempered Soda-Lime-Silica Glass (SLG) is considered as bottom support. The reliability calculations for the module … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 3 Sep 2019 · 7,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Accumulation and Biomarker Responses in Cockles from Moroccan Mediterranean CoastsIkram Chbani, Saida Bouzid, Nourredine Bouayad, Hassan Er-RaiouiThis study aims to evaluate levels and effects of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in cockles (Acanthocardia tuberculatae) collected from two differently influenced areas in the Mediterranean Western Moroccan coasts. PAHs accumulation was studied in soft tissues using Soxhlet extraction and separation on silica column methods. The measure of those organic compounds was realized by Gas chromatography coupled to Mass spectrometer … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 30 Jul 2019 · 7,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) Profile at Different Calcination Conditions for Synthesis of PTES-SBA-15Norhasyimi Rahmat, Nurjihan Sadon, Muhammad Abeed YusofThe aim of this work is to study the effects of calcination condition on the properties of mesoporous silica, SBA-15 modified with phenyl group of organosilane. Functional group SBA-15 were synthesized and hydrothermally aged. The surfactant template was conventionally removed by calcination at varied temperature and duration. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was employed to characterize the pure and modified SBA-15. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 7 Apr 2017 · 8,453 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Novel Thermo-Chemical Treatment on Bending Strength of Laminated GlassAjitanshu VedrtnamThe science of thermal and chemical treatment of glass is well documented. The Laminated Glass (LG) is usually not treated as either treated glass is used during production or lower melting temperature of interlayer does not allow the treatment. The present work reports the novel methods of thermo-chemical treatment of LG having annealed soda lime glass plies. Five thermo-chemical treatments … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2018 · 6,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrography and Geochemistry of Orin-Ekiti Basement Rocks, Southwestern Nigeria: Implications on BauxitizationAbel Ojo Talabi, Akin Ojo Oyinloye, Olusola Amos Olaolorun et al.The petrography and geochemistry of Orin-Ekiti Basement rocks were evaluated to determine their mineralogical and chemical composition, assessed their petrogenesis and susceptibility to the formation of bauxitic clay. Ten representative rock samples were selected for thin section petrography and bulk rock geochemical analysis using Petrographic microscope and XRF, Rh Tube, 3k Watt respectively. Field observations revealed charnockites as the dominant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 1 Jan 2018 · 8,767 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBonding of Resin Materials to All-Ceramics: A ReviewLiang Chen, Byoung In SuhProblem statement: All-ceramic materials, especially silica-based lithium disilicate and non-silicate-based Zirconia, have become a topic of interest in the field of dentistry.
