Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Grazing Sorghum Stubble on Soil Physical Properties and Subsequent Crop PerformanceB.J. Radford, D.F. Yule, M. Braunack, C. PlayfordTwo grazing trials were conducted on a Vertosol in central Queensland to assess the effects of stubble grazing by cattle on soil properties and subsequent crop performance. Two adjacent contour bays were selected for two treatments (grazed and ungrazed) in each trial. Both trials were conducted following a grain sorghum crop. In trial 1 (during 1996) the surface soil was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of a Waste Stabilization Pond in a Rural Area in EgyptMahassen M.E.D. Ghazy, Waled M.E. Senousy, Azza M.A. Aatty, Mohammed KamelThe performance evaluation of the waste stabilization pond (WSP) as a model of domestic wastewater treatment unit in rural area was carried out. The unit comprised of anaerobic, facultative and maturation ponds in two series. The effluents of WSP which are discharged in the drain had the BOD reduced to 109-245 mg L-1 (Mean = 145.3 mg L-1, 50.65% removal), … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Dark Current Reduction in Quantum Well 9 µm GaAs/AlGaAs Infrared Photodetectors with Improved DetectivityShahram Mohammad Nejad, Saeed Olyaee, Maryam PourmahyabadiIn this research, an optimization approach is presented to decrease the dark current in GaAs/AlGaAs QWIPs. The dark current noise is reduced by increasing Al density in barriers, decreasing detector dimensions and increasing the periodic length of the structure. In addition, increasing the number of periods can reduce both the dark current and responsivity. Therefore, devices can be optimally designed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Malaysian Wood CO2 -Laser Cutting Parameters And Cut QualityNukman Yusoff, Saiful Rizal Ismail, Azuddin Mamat, Aznijar Ahmad-YazidLaser has been used to cut most non-metallic materials very efficiently and successfully because these materials are highly absorptive by the CO2 laser wavelength of 10.6 10.6µm. Laser cutting process has been found to be reliable in loads of applications, with several advantages over other mechanical means in producing successful cut of even thermally sensitive materials such as wood. Various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Characterizations of Sands and Their Influence in Fall VelocityRuiz-Martinez Gabriel, Mendoza-Baldwin Edgar, Silva-Casarín RodolfoCancun beach is one of the most important tourist resorts on the Mexican coast, and is of prime importance to the local and national economies. As a result of the intense use of the beach and the unavailability of sand reserves, the extreme weather events that occur in the region (hurricanes) have permanently damaged the beach. Over the last two … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Interaction Studies of H-Bonded Complexes of Benzamide in 1,4-Dioxan with Alcohols From Acoustic and Thermodynamic ParametersAN. Kannappan, R. Kesavasamy, V. PonnuswamyThe ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity measurements were carried out for the mixtures of benzamide with Propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, 1-pentanol and n-hexanal in 1,4-dioxan at 303, 308 and 313K. The derived acoustic and thermodynamic parameters namely adiabatic compressibility, free length, free volume, internal pressure, viscous relaxation time and Gibbs free energy were evaluated with a view to investigate the nature of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry Study on the Degradation of B-Aflatoxins in Maize with Aqueous Citric AcidA. Méndez-Albores, I. Nicolás-Vázquez, R. Miranda-Ruvalcaba, E. Moreno-MartÍnezDegradation of B-aflatoxins in maize by means of 1N aqueous citric acid was confirmed by the AFLATEST immunoaffinity column method, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and computational information. The AFLATEST and HPLC assays showed that 96.7% degradation occurred in maize contaminated with 93 ng g-1 when treated with the aqueous citric acid. Two major products, produced … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRarefied Gas Flow Modeling inside Rotating Circular CylinderN. PourmahmoudIn this study a rarefied gas flow inside a rotating circular cylinder by means of direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is investigated. A rarefied gas is supposed to be contained in a cylindrical domain, bonded by a rotational cylinder with smooth and diffuse-reflection surface. The top and bottom ends of domain is assumed to be speculary-reflecting. Special attention is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,455 accessesView PDFCite
