Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINFLUENCE OF INCUBATION PERIOD, TEMPERATURE AND DIFFERENT PHOSPHATE LEVELS ON PHOSPHATE ADSORPTION IN SOILA. Rajput, Q. A. Panhwar, U. A. Naher et al.Phosphorus (P) is the most important element after nitrogen but P sorption properties are poorly documented in many soils. In this study, P sorption capacity in relation to incubation period and temperature under various P levels were determined for two different soil series (Rustam and Miani). Phosphorus was added at 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 µg … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Feb 2014 · 8,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINVESTIGATIONS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF VAPOUR COMPRESSION SYSTEM RETROFITTED WITH ZEOTROPIC REFRIGERANT R404AA. Lovelin Jerald, D. SenthilKumaranThe environmental impacts like global warming and ozone depletion has become a challenge to the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. Chloro Fluoro Carbons (CFCs) and Hydro Flouro Carbons (HCFCs) are referred to as an Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) because once these gases are released into the environment and reach the stratosphere, depletes the ozone layer. This research paper aims to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF USING STEEL SLAG AGGREGATE ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETESultan A. Tarawneh, Emhaidy S. Gharaibeh, Falah M. SarairehThis study presents an evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties and characteristics of steel slag aggregate concrete in comparison with the typical crushed limestone stone aggregate concrete. Hardened concrete consist of more than 70% aggregate due to the high demand in building construction and the increase of the amount of disposed waste material, suppliers and researchers are exploring the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 10 Feb 2014 · 8,055 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINVESTIGATION OF THE GROUNDWATER SUITABILITY FOR IRRIGATION PRACTICES IN AN ARID REGION: CASE STUDYAhmed MuradGroundwater is an important source of acceptable water for irrigation in the arid regions and in particular in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Demand for groundwater is increasing in the UAE due to population growth and significant economic advancement associated with political stability. As agricultural practices are the main land use in Al Hayer area, southeast UAE, majority of extracted … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2014 · 7,425 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRETRIEVAL OF 24 HOUR AEROSOL OPTICAL DEPTHS FROM MIE LIDAR DATASiriluk Ruangrungrote, Pichet Limsuwan, Arunee IntasornTemporal Aerosol Optical Depths (AODs) of Phimai district, Nakhon Ratchasima province in Thailand were retrieved from measured Mie lidar data on 17-20 February 2005 using Fernald method. The ground-based station was selected for its high and diverse local agricultural activities contributed to the aerosol content which allows for various parameters such as concentration, size distribution and aerosol optical properties to … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2013 · 6,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbolishing Toxicity of Copper by Some Environmental Factors Using Green Alga Chlorella vulgarisAdel A. Fathi, Mohamed M. Azooz, Mohamed A. Al-FredanA variety of environmental factors are known to modify the toxicity of heavy metals on algae. This study was undertaken to examine the impact of some inorganic and organic complexes on the toxicity of copper using the isolated algal species (Chlorella vulgaris). The data illustrate that the amount of available forms of copper (copper free ions) gradually decreased with increasing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 2 Jan 2013 · 6,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of New Compound with Antioxidant Potential in the Energy Metabolism of Adults Rats after Pneumococcal MeningitisT. Barichello, Geovana Dagostim Savi, A. P. Panatto et al.Problem statement: In bacterial meningitis, the Streptococcus pneumoniae can modify the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) homeostasis and initiation of the host inflammatory response with presence cytokine and leukocyte migration into the subarachnoidal space. Despite the availability of highly effective antibiotics, the disease is often fatal or causes long-term neurological problems in affected patients. Approach: The aim of this study was to … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2012 · 7,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation and Beneficiation of Bentonitic Clays from Pindiga Formation in Benue TroughB. B.M. Dewu, I. I. Funtua, M. O.A. Oladipo et al.Problem statement: This study aimed at evaluating and beneficiating Bentonitic clays of Pindiga Formation from the upper Benue trough in northeastern Nigeria to meet the standard required for use in oil well drilling. This will reduce the dependence on imported Bentonite into the country, increase foreign exchange, improve the country’s economy and create employment opportunities. Approach: Three clay samples from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 16 Jan 2012 · 8,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review of Acetol: Application and ProductionMohd Hanif Mohamad, Roila Awang, Wan Md Zin Wan YunusProblem statement: Acetol is used as organic intermediates because it contains both hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups and mainly use to produce polyols and acrolein. It also widely uses as reduced dyes and skin tanning agent. The commercially used acetol is made from petroleum-based that leads to high cost of production. Approach: This review highlighted applications of acetol and established … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 5 Oct 2011 · 11,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurface Modification of Polystyrene Beads by Ultraviolet/Ozone Treatment and its Effect on Gelatin CoatingA. N. Yusilawati, M. Maizirwan, M. S. Hamzah et al.Problem statement: Polystyrene failed to provide any reactive functionality of surface hydrophilicity that is capable of binding proteins. It is known that polystyrene must be chemically modified to make its surface amenable to covalent crosslinking with protein. Approach: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of UV/ozone treatment on gelatin coating. The surfaces of microsize polystyrene beads … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,844 accessesView PDFCite
