Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Microwave-Assisted Extraction of a Bioherbicide from Canavalia ensiformis LeavesDarlan Ferreira Silva, Eduardo Bessa Azevedo, Maria Olímpia Oliveira RezendeThe objective of this study was to optimize the operational conditions of the Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) of Canavalia ensiformis leaves by Response Surface Methodology (RSM), based on analysis of phenolic compounds obtained from the aqueous extracts. Optimal conditions for MAE were temperature of 100°C, extraction time of 10 min and ramp of temperature of 5 min, using approximately 2 g … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2016 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFooting Under Static Loading: Land SubsidenceMochamad Arief Budihardjo, Su Yang, Amin Chegenizadeh, Hamid NikrazLand and footing subsidence caused by groundwater extraction is a source of many problems for buildings and infrastructures. This study aims at extending the knowledge of footing subsidence causing by ground water pumping by considering various well and load conditions. The approach is to use PLAXIS simulation to investigate the influence of well conditions on the subsidence of surface footing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2015 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Extraction Conditions on the Recovery of Phenolic Antioxidants from Spent Coffee GroundsAntonio Zuorro, Roberto LavecchiaThe extraction of phenolic compounds from Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG), a waste produced in large amounts worldwide, was investigated. SCG were rich in fiber and protein and had a total phenolic content of 18.75±0.43 mg GAE per gram dry weight. Extraction experiments were carried out in batch mode, using ethanol-water mixtures as solvent. A two-level factorial design was used to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 28 May 2013 · 8,798 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction of Ca (II) and Mg (II) from Hydrochloric Acid Solutions by N, N-Dioctyl-1-Octan Ammonium Chloride in Methyl Isobutyl KetoneArben Haziri, Fatmir Faiku, Imer Haziri et al.Problem statement: Amines as organic molecules are able to form complexes with metals ions and this is the reason why we can use them to extract metals ions from hydrometallurgical solutions. Approach: Based on that, we have investigated the extraction of Calcium and Magnesium with N, N-dioctyl-1-octan ammonium chloride from the mixture of elements (Ca and Mg) prepared in artificial … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 8 Jun 2012 · 7,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Flow Systems and Their Response to Climate Change: A Need for a Water-System View ApproachJoel J. Carrillo-Rivera, Antonio CardonaProblem statement: The interest in early hydrogeological studies was the aquifer unit, as it is the physical media that stores and permits groundwater transfers from the recharge zone to the discharge zone, making groundwater available to boreholes for water extraction. Approach: Recently, the aquifer concept has been complemented by the groundwater flow system theory, where groundwater may be defined by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction and Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity from Selected Flowering PlantsErlina Abdullah, Raha Ahmad Raus, Parveen JamalThe huge diversity of Malaysian flora has various chemical constituents that make them as outstanding natural product candidates for the treatment of infectious diseases. The screening practice for phytochemical compound in them is essential to explore more natural sources to replace synthetic antibiotics, which generally have side effects such as hypersensitivity, immune-suppression and allergic reactions. Antibacterial activities have been detected … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2012 · 16,312 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Batch Reactor Extraction on Antioxidant Activity from Scurulla atropurpureaSiti Irma Rahmawati, Nobuyuki HayashiProblem statement: The main active compounds of benalu teh’s include alkaloids and flavonoids, therefore antioxidant of it has big potential to develop. In the context of extraction, the traditional (boiling in the water until one-third remain) extraction require a long extraction time and result in low yields of extraction also antioxidant activities. Approach: Batch reactor is extraction at high temperature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 17 Jan 2012 · 6,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination and Evaluation of Antioxidative Activity in Red Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) and Green Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia deliciosa)Normala Halimoon, Mardhiah Hayati Abdul HasanProblem statement: Dragon fruit or pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus), is believed to be a healthy source of vitamins, fiber and antioxidants, especially the red-fleshed varieties which contain lycopene. Approach:Compared to green kiwi fruit (Actinidia deliciosa), which already known contain high antioxidant activity. Results:The antioxidant capacity of Hylocereus undatus (H. undatus) and Actinidia deliciosa (A. deliciosa) in three different solvent extraction; ethanol, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 9,154 accessesView PDFCite

We investigated the influence of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Vegetative Induced Deformation in an Unsaturated SoilNazri Bn Ali, Mu’azu Mohammed AbdullahiProblem statement: Tree root water-uptake increases soil strength by increasing the soil matric suction due to pore pressure dissipation in a soil mass, inducing increases in vertical total stress or water extraction, the effective stress to which the soil strata is subjected to may also increase. This causes volume change which might be detrimental to geotechnical structures and shallow foundation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
