Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Intraarticular Tramadol Administration on Biochemical and Cytological Properties of Equine Synovial Fluid: Comparison with LidocaineAlireza Raayat Jahromi, Abutorab Tabatabaei Naeini, Saeed NazifiProblem statement: Diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopic surgeries are procedures performed quite frequently in equine practice; and are considered to cause some degree of postoperative pain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the equine synovial fluid biochemical and cytological changes following intra-articular administration of tramadol as a potential analgesic. Approach: Six adult healthy donkeys were selected after clinical … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRheological Characterization of Sludge Coming from a Wastewater Treatment PlantDaniel Novarino, Ezio Santagata, Davide Dalmazzo, Mariachiara ZanettiProblem statement: The aim of this study was that of studying the rheology of sewage sludge using two different rheological test protocols taken from literature and comparing them in order to evaluate which useful information are given from every protocol. Approach: Two different protocols have been used taking particularly into account the problems connected to sludge heterogeneous composition and to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of the Cuttings Cleaning During the Drilling OperationHussain H. Al-Kayiem, Nadia Mohd Zaki, Muhamad Z. Asyraf, Mahir Elya ElfeelProblem statement: Oil well cleaning is the ability of a drilling fluid to suspend and transport drilled cuttings from the down hole (bit face) to the surface. The cleaning performance was affected by many factors such as fluid viscosity, annular flow velocity, angle of inclination and drill cuttings size and shape and. Approach: Navier-Stoke equations, the continuity equation and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,249 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoconut Oil Based Hybrid Fuels as Alternative Fuel for Diesel EnginesPranil Singh, Jagjit Khurma, Anirudh SinghProblem statement: The use of vegetable oils as a fuel in diesel engines causes some problems due to their high viscosity compared with diesel. Various techniques and methods are used to solve the problems resulting from high viscosity. Approach: One of the techniques is the preparation of a microemulsion fuel, called a hybrid fuel. In this study, hybrid fuels consisting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,714 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New System to Analyze Pulsatile Flow Characteristics in Elastic Tubes for Hemodynamic ApplicationsAfshin Anssari-Benam, Mohammad Tafazzoli-Shadpour, Nasser Fatouraee et al.In this research, we present a new designed experimental setup for study of characteristics of pulsatile flow in elastic tubes, aiming to simulate arterial blood flow. This system includes four major components: (1) a pulsatile pump producing original arterial flow, (2) an elastic element to simulate coupling of the heart with the arterial system, (3) an elastic tube with mechanical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Hydroxylated Compounds on Properties and Emission of Palm BiodieselRoila Awang, Choo Yuen MayThe Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) attempted the search for a viable alternative fuel leading to a possible substitution to the conventional diesel since 1982, using palm oil derived fuel. Numerous studies have shown that most exhaust emission encountered with conventional diesel fuel are reduced with biodiesel,with the exception of nitrogen oxides (NOx). This paper is reported on the effect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,144 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrequency Behavior of a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (Qcm) in Contact with Selected SolutionsZ. A. Talib, Z. Baba, S. Kurosawa et al.A device was constructed to monitor viscosity of solutions using fundamental frequency of 9 MHz and 10 MHz quartz crystal. Piezoelectric quartz crystals with gold electrodes were mounted by O-ring in between liquid flow cell. Only one side of the crystal was exposed to the solutions which were pumped through silicon tube by a peristaltic pump. The measured frequency shift … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Bio-based Polyurethane PolymersJahangir Emrani, Ramazan Benrashid, Shahrzad Mohtarami et al.This paper describes the development of new biobased Polyurethanes (PU) starting from swine manure bio-resin and diisocyanates. The bio-resin is produced from swine manure via a hydrothermal process. For sustainability, today, many PUs in new specialized applications, are biobased. In this study, different commercial diisocyanates including MDI, Desmodur W, Desmodur H and Demodur I and swine manure, which is an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2018 · 8,361 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Efficacy of a Bio-Based Modifier to Improve the Rheological Properties of Recycled Asphalt ShinglesMohammed Jawad, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis study investigates the use of Bio-Binder, derived from swine manure, as an additive to improve rheological properties of bitumen extracted from recycled asphalt shingles. Test results show that adding Bio-Binder to Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) leads to reduced viscosity, modulus shear complex G*, relaxation time RT and segregation. Results illustrated that the derived Bio-Binder additive can remove the negative … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2017 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite
