Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Approach in Application of the AHP–Fuzzy TOPSIS Method in Mineral Potential Mapping of the Natural Bitumen (Gilsonite): A Case Study from the Gilan-e-Gharb Block, the Kermanshah, West of IranElham Rahimi, Younes Shekarian, Salman Mastri Farahani et al.The Gilan-e-Gharb block is known as a prospective area for hydrocarbon resources in the form of oil, gas in deep potential and natural bitumen (Gilsonite) on the surface. Natural bitumen is not clearly detectable by geochemical or geophysical methods. Hereupon, identifying high potential areas for further exploration, attempted with the help of AHP-Fuzzy and TOPSIS methods. The comprehensive database of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2020 · 7,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical Composition and Nutraceutical Perspectives Red Sea SeaweedsEman A. AlwaleedSeaweeds are marketed as “nutraceuticals” owing to their highly bioactive ingredients as well as food supplements in order to relinquish physiological conditions and resist diseases. In the current study, the biochemical compositions (total protein, carbohydrate, lipid, fatty acids, amino acid, minerals and dietary fibers) of the seaweeds Caulerpa racemosa, Digenea simplex, Sargassum polycystum and Cystoseria myrica were evaluated. Digenea simplex … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 12 · 23 Jan 2020 · 7,600 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cardioprotective Diet in Acute Coronary SyndromeR. B. Singh, Suniti Dharwadkar, Fabien DeMeester et al.Problem statement: Nutritional factors appear to be quite important in the pathogenesis and prognosis among patients of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) or Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Increased consumption of proinflammatory foods; such as refined starches and sugar, trans fat, saturated fat and w-6 fatty acids may increase proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress and free fatty acids causing endothelial dysfunction. Approach: Columbus … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 15 Oct 2011 · 7,460 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Polydextrose on Feces Consistency and Macronutrient Digestibility in Healthy DogsK. Vasupen, C. Yuangklang, A. C. Beynen, A. W.C. EinerhandProblem statement: There is evidence that the addition of 3% STA-LITE® polydextrose to a dry food reduces clinical signs of osteoarthritis in dogs. For the application of polydextrose as functional ingredient of dog foods, information as to its impact on the acceptance of food, feces consistency, fecal odor and digestibility of macronutrients and minerals is required. Approach: A feeding experiment … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2011 · 8,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Soil Morphological, Mineralogical and Sesquioxide Properties of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsB. T. Saga, O. H. Ahmed, A. S. Jamaluddin et al.Problem statement: The tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia have been characterized by several researchers. However empirical data on soil characteristics under degraded forest land in tropical rain forest and rehabilitated program are limited. A study was conducted to evaluate the soil morphology, mineralogical and sesquioxide properties of a rehabilitated degraded forest land (19 years after it was planted with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil-moisture Retention Characteristics of Earth Materials in the Weathering Profile over a Porphyritic Biotite GraniteJohn Kuna RajProblem statement: Three broad morphological zones and several sub-zones were differentiated within the weathering profile based on variations in earth materials and the degree of preservation of original bedrock minerals, textures and structures. Approach: The topmost Zone I (Grade 6) is some 12 m thick and comprises completely weathered bedrock materials (mainly a stiff, clayey sand) with indistinct relict bedrock … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,466 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction of Protein from Common Plant Leaves for Use as Human FoodA.E. Ghaly, F. N. AlkoaikProblem statement: Protein deficiency is one of the major nutritional problems in the developing world. The most disastrous consequences occur in children where protein malnutrition manifests itself in forms of two notorious diseases: Marasmus and kwashiorkor. Expansion of present agricultural practices into marginal lands is expected to solve this chronic protein shortage.
