Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpgrading of Bio-Oil into High-Value Hydrocarbons via HydrodeoxygenationMurni M. Ahmad, M. Fitrir R. Nordin, M. Tazli AzizanProblem statement: World energy consumption is forecasted to grow significantly for the foreseeable future with fossil fuel remains the governing energy source. The demand in the need to explore alternative fuel source was further triggered by the overwhelmingly inconsistent cost of gasoline. Bio-oil is an alternative energy source produced from pyrolysis of biomass. However it is undesirable as a ready … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential, Implications and Solutions Regarding the Use of Rendered Animal Fats in AquafeedsJesse T. Trushenski, Rebecca T. LochmannProblem statement: In the past, aquafeeds were comprised largely of fish meal and fish oil derived from marine reduction fisheries. In addition to being highly palatable and readily digested by cultured fishes, these feedstuffs were historically inexpensive sources of protein, energy and essential nutrients. However, increasing cost and concerns over safety and sustainability have greatly incentivized the transition from fish … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 13,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction of Oil from Jatropha Seeds-Optimization and KineticsSepidar Sayyar, Zurina Zainal Abidin, Robiah Yunus, Azhari MuhammadProblem statement: Jatropha curcas is a wonder plant with a variety of applications and enormous economic potentials. Oil from the seeds can be used as alternative fuel and for making biodiesel which aims to overcome energy crisis problems. In this study, extraction of Jatropha oil from seeds was optimized using organic solvent based on the amount of the extracted oil. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 13,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharcoal-Oil Mixture as an Alternative Fuel: A Preliminary StudyRoila Awang, Choo Yuen MayThe fast depletion of fuel oil and continuous increase in the demand for power is a global issue. The world energy consumption is projected to grow at an average of 2.7-3.7% from 1996 to 2010. Therefore search for alternative fuel is highly prioritized. Thus this study presents the results on the characteristic of charcoal-oil mixture as an alternative fuel. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving Protein Folding Problem using Elitism-Based Compact Genetic AlgorithmAmr Badr, Ibtehal M. Aref, Basma M. Hussien, Yosr EmanProteins are vital components of living cells. A number of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cystic fibrosis and Mad Cow diseases are shown to result from misfunctioning of proteins. Problem statement: Protein folding problem is the process of predicting the optimal 3D molecular structure of a protein, or tertiary structure, which is an indication of its proper function. Approach: An enhancement … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite

Aziz, Mohd Fadzzrul JusohThis study presents a concept of harvesting and transferring energy to a low power electrical appliances using wireless technology where interconnecting wires are not available. This study was a ground work for the future alternative energy supply especially to the areas where supplying direct energy is a challenge such as in deep sea exploration as well as to the area … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,340 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Oil Film Shape on Piston Ring and Liner Tribology Under Mixed LubricationAbbas Razavykia, Cristiana Delprete, Eugenio Brusa, Yaser HosseiniMechanical power loss reduction at lubricated reciprocating and rotating components is recognized as an approach to improve the efficiency and to reduce the emissions of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs). To achieve these goals, the instantaneous investigation of lubrication characteristics is required. Piston ring pack is of paramount importance as it is known as major contributor to frictional losses and energy … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2021 · 6,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Design and Construction of a Dual Axis Solar Tracker Prototype for a Dish Concentrator using ATMega3298P MicrocontrollerAlbright Abu Edet, Samaila Umaru, Isah IbrahimThe desire for reliable power supply is the reason for further research into alternative sources of power. Although solar tracking is not a new technology, yet solar harvesters still suffer low efficiency due to the intermittence of solar insolation. Thus many smart systems have been designed to maximise solar harvesters. Among the systems is the dual axis solar tracking system. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2021 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
