Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUSE OF CRUMB RUBBER TO IMPROVE THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF CEMENT-BASED MATERIALSAshraf Fadiel, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie FiniMotivated by the tremendous trend toward green environment and to reduce the effect of scrap tires on the environment and human health, this research is an attempt to find a practical and environmentally sound solution of the problem of scrap tires by developing a light weight with low thermal conductivity composite construction materials using waste tires. A few literatures may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 12,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Hybrid Coupler Connected Square Array Patch Antenna for Wi-Fi ApplicationsA. Sahaya Anselin Nisha, T. JayanthyMicrostrip patch antennas being popular because of light weight, low volume, thin profile configuration which can be made conformal. Wireless communication systems applications circular polarization antenna is placing vital role. In this study we introduce a new technique to produce circular polarization. Hybrid coupler is directly connected to microstrip antenna to get circular polarization. Also gain is further increased by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 19 Sep 2012 · 6,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Multicrypt Encryption MechanismRhymend Uthariaraj Vaidyanathan, Lydia Elizabeth Benjamin, John Prakash ArockiasamyMulticast communication allows a single message packet to be routed to multiple nodes simultaneously. Membership in a multicast group is dynamic, allowing nodes to enter and leave the multicast session. Besides the benefits, multicast communication presents the challenge of securing the communication. In order to preserve confidentiality the general encryption mechanism used for point to point communications are used. A … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 4 Sep 2012 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Sugar Cane Extract, Commercial Probiotic and their Mixture on Growth Performance and Intestinal Histology in Broiler ChickensOraya Khambualai, Koh-en Yamauchi, Jassada Ruttanavut et al.Problem statement: As the intestinal function is intimately affected by fed diets, many kinds of natural substances and probiotics have been supplemented to broilers to raise poultry productivity due to activating intestinal function. Besides, the intestinal histology is clearly altered by intestinal functions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Sugar Cane Extract (SCE) and commercial probiotic (SPB), … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Airflow and Aerodynamic Forces Acting on a Rotating Turbine VentilatorA.S. Farahani, N.M. Adam, M.K.A. AriffinProblem statement: Rotating turbine ventilators were generally found in most countries. They were simple in structure, light in weight and cheap to install. It was quite surprising that, the aerodynamics of this common device had not been numerically examined and the design process of most of these ventilators had developed progressively through trial and error methods. Approach: This study was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling, Simulation and Group Control of Distributed Static Series CompensatorsPoria Fajri, Saeed Afsharnia, Daryoush Nazarpour, Mohammad Ali TavallaeiThis study investigates the new concept of Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC); a small, light weight cylinder that clamps directly onto the transmission line conductor and has the ability to alter the impedance of the power lines in order to increase power transfer capability and maximize economic value of the transmission system. A graphic-based simulation model of the DSSC is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2008 · 7,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Construction Technologies that Enables Environmental Protection: Rubberized ConcreteG. Senthil Kumaran, Nurdin Mushule, M. LakshmipathyThroughout the world, the disposal of used tires is a major environmental problem causing environmental hazards such as breeding ground for mosquitoes, producing uncontrolled fire and they are contaminating the soil and vegetation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify alternative outlets for these tyres, with the emphasis on recycling the waste tyre. Concrete is an excellent structural material … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSorbitol-Induced Diabetic-Like Retinal Lesions in Rats: Microscopic StudyGaber A. RamadanThe present study investigated the sorbitol toxicity on the retinas of normal albino rats and founded by the light microscope that intra-peritoneal injection of Sorbitol (10-mg/kg-body weight per day) for 24 weeks produced similar diabetic like retinal lesions in these rats. The retinopathic effects of sorbitol injection affect retinal microvessels, pigment epithelium, neural retina and glial cells. Cytoplasmic vacuolation of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPsychological Acceptability Weighted Priority Scheduling: A Case Study of Animal HospitalKitsiri Chochiang, Araya Choothong, Prakasit Intarasombat et al.A solution to the patient scheduling problem for a case study animal hospital called Mix+Factor scheduling is proposed in this work. Mix scheduling is based on the weighted sum of patient arrival order, the job type and the priority. The priority is based on the veterinarian opinion on the treatment type. Factor is an additional function based on the psychological … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 26 Jul 2019 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNevirapine Hepatotoxicity: Implications of Risk FactorsElias Adikwu, Oputiri Deo, Oru-Bo Precious Geoffrey, D. Akuegbe EnimeyaHighly active antiretroviral therapy is used in the management of HIV/AIDS; it has contributed tremendously in the reduction of mortality and morbidity rate in HIV patients. Despite the outstanding achievement with the use of HAART its major limitation is toxicity. Among these toxicities is hepatotoxicity which is said to be associated with nevirapine containing highly active antiretroviral therapy. Recent reports … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2013 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
