Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEco-Friendly Synthesis of Fucoidan-Stabilized Gold NanoparticlesKriengsak Lirdprapamongkol, Warangkana Warisnoicharoen, Suwicha Soisuwan, Jisnuson SvastiProblem statement: Metallic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely used in many applications including medical, pharmaceutical, diagnostics and sensors. The chemical synthesis of AuNPs normally requires synthetic materials which might cause the toxicological concerns. The use of naturally occurring materials like fucoidans for successful synthesis of AuNPs is of interests. Approach: Fucoidans as sulfated polysaccharides from marine algae Cladosiphon okamuranus (o-fucoidan) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 9,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Lactate Treatments on Survival of Food-Borne Pathogens in Frozen Shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis)Alireza Shirazinejad, Noryati IsmailProblem statement: Sodium lactate treatments were evaluated for reducing population of pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella enteritidis, E. coli O157:H7, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio cholerae, inoculated on frozen shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis). Approach: Fresh shrimp were inoculated with the above pathogens, separately, at level of 105 CFU g-1 and appliedin sodium lactate solutions (NaL: 0.5% and 2.5% v/v) and 1% Lactic … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of pH on Nonlinear Refractive Index of Bromophenol BlueF.Z. Henari, K.G. CulliganProblem statement: Bromophenol blue is a pH indicator, a kind of chemical that changes colour when pH goes up or down over a narrow linear dynamic range of 3.0-4.6 pH units. Therefore a good approach must be taken to extend the linear response of the indicator in order to have simple calibration and precise measurements of PH sensors. The purpose … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 15,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of A Semi-Industrial Multi Fruit Dryer System Using Simultaneous Intelligent ControlMarjan Javanmard, Johari Endan, K. A. Abbas, Farshad ArvinProblem statement: This study presented a semi-industrial fruit dryer machine which is useful to dry different types of fruit. The drying process and its functions are selectable by user to obtain a multi dryer system. Approach: A microcontroller base controller that enables to simultaneous monitoring was utilized. There are two types of sensors as the inputs of system which are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing an Adaptative Fuzzy-Logic System to Optimize the Performances and the Reduction of Chattering Phenomenon in the Control of Induction MotorM. M. Krishan, L. Barazane, A. KhwaldehProblem statement: Neural networks and fuzzy inference systems are becoming well-recognized tools of designing an identifier/controller capable of perceiving the operating environment and imitating a human operator with high performance. Also, by combining these two features, more versatile and robust models, called “neuro-fuzzy” architectures have been developed. The mo Approach: Motivation behind the use of neuro-fuzzy approaches was based on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Exhausting Exercise Induced Fatigue on the Double-Leg Balance of Elite Male AthletesKhodadad Letafatkar, Mohammad Hossein Alizadeh, Mohammad Reza KordiProblem statement: Fatigue is a complex phenomenon that can be described as a time-dependent exercise-induced reduction in the maximal force generating capacity of a muscle. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of exhausting exercise induced fatigue on the double-leg balance of elite male athletes. Approach: This study included 30 apparently healthy young adults (handball and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVision-Based Obstacle Avoidance of Mobile Robot Using Quantized Spatial ModelSalaheddin Odeh, Rasha Faqeh, Laila Abu Eid, Nihal ShamasnehProblem statement: Problem of moving a robot through unknown environment has attracted much attention over past two decades. Such problems have several difficulties and complexities that are unobserved, besides the ambiguity of how this can be achieved since a robot may encounter obstacles of all forms that must be bypassed in an intelligent manner. This research had been aimed to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHyperspectral Remote Sensing for Tropical Rain ForestKamaruzaman Jusoff, Kasawani IbrahimProblem statement: Sensing, mapping and monitoring the rain forest in forested regions of the world, particularly the tropics, has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years as deforestation and forest degradation account for up to 30% of anthropogenic carbon emissions and are now included in climate change negotiations. Approach: We reviewed the potential for air and spaceborne hyperspectral … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,576 accessesView PDFCite
