Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Passive Opportunity for Improving Air Quality in the Schools Environment: A Real-World Scale TestingPierpaoli Mattia, Fava GabrieleCan passive technology effectively enhance the indoor air quality? To improve classroom indoor air quality, an increase in ventilation and/or air purifiers are often suggested. In this study, a short-term intervention was implemented and investigated to evaluate the effects of a passive adsorbent surface on the pollutant deposition velocity and to improve the overall classroom air quality. We found that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2016 · 7,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Modeling Framework for Highway Traffic Pollution Estimation and DispersionShu Yang, Yao-Jan Wu, John WoolschlagerAir quality is of great concern to the public. Airborne pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and Particulate Matter (PM), negatively impact people’s living conditions. In particular, vehicular exhaust is a major source of these pollutants. Extensive previous research has contributed to modeling traffic pollutant emission. Popular approaches include computational simulation-based methods, which have been dominant in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 13 May 2016 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCarbon Nanodots from Frying Oil as Catalyst for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue Assisted Solar Light IrradiationMahardika Prasetya Aji, Pradita Ajeng Wiguna, Siti Aisyah Suciningtyas et al.Carbon nanodots (C-Dots) of frying oil could be a photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue solution with assisted solar light irradiation. C-Dots of frying oil were resulted from the heating process at T = 300C for 2 h. C-Dots of frying oil were used as a catalyst in methylene blue solution with variations the number of C-Dots and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 28 Apr 2016 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Supercritical Coal Extraction in Toluene Containing FluidsPeter Nikolayevich Kuznetsov, Svetlana Mikhaylovna Kolesnikova, Ludmila Ivanovna Kuznetsova, Anastasia Valerievna KazbanovaThe conversion of brown coals and sapropelic coal in toluene containing mixtures with co-solvents (water, ethanol and tetralin) was studied under sub- and supercritical conditions within the temperature range of 375-550°C and at pressures from 7 to 40 MPa. It was found that the extent of coal extraction in the toluene solvent medium, at 400°C, was significantly increased by the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 1 Mar 2016 · 7,615 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of a Combined Approach for the Treatment of Carbide Slurry and Capture of CO2Shereen Hasan, Muftah H. El-NaasThe aim of this study is to evaluate the potential use of electrocoagulation in the treatment of carbide slurry, a wastewater generated during the production of acetylene, and in the capture of carbon dioxide. An electrochemical batch reactor was used to carry out several experiments at different current densities, ranging between 140-290 A/m2. Pure air and a mixture of 10% … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2015 · 7,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGaussian Dispersion Model to Estimate the Dispersion of Particulate Matters (Pm2.5) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Concentrations on Tribal Land, OklahomaDejene Alemayehu, Francine HackettAir quality in most parts of Kay County is good and unlikely to cause major health problems. However, Kaw Nation wants to know if the concentration of Particulate matters (PM2.5) and Sulfur dioxide (SO2) released from power plants, refinery and carbon black plant in Oklahoma reaches the Tribal land at Kanza Travel Plaza, Braman, Kay Co. Oklahoma. Kanza Travel Plaza … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 8 Dec 2015 · 7,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethadone and Dexmedetomidine Combination as Premedicant Agents for Ovariectomy in CatsH. Tayari, I. Vannozzi, G. Breghi, A. BrigantiThe purpose of this study was to assess sedative and analgesic effects produced by the association of methadone and dexmedetomidine, administered intramuscularly as premedication for ovariectomy in cats. Twenty-four healthy cats were enrolled in the study. The values of heart and respiratory rate were recorded as Tbase. Cats received methadone 0.5 mg kg-1 and dexmedetomidine 5 mcg kg-1 IM. Sedation … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 27 Jun 2015 · 8,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyze the Absorption Properties and I-V Characterization of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Using Ruthenium DyeAnees Ur Rehman, Farooq Aslam, Haseeb Ahmad KhanIn this study, Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) has been fabricated using natural organic dye extracted from Ruthenium Dye and its I-V characterization and absorption properties have been analyzed. It is observed that the selected natural dye absorbed all visible light and supports electrons motion across the semiconductor interface. The dye acts as sensitizer because the titanium dioxide (TiO2) cannot … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Dec 2014 · 7,395 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLIPASE-CATALYZED TRANSESTERIFICATION OF PALM KERNEL OIL WITH DIALKYLCARBONATESTjahjono Herawan, M. Rüsch Gen. KlaasLipase-catalyzed transesterifications-especially in a solvent-free medium-are important for industrial applications because such systems would have an enormous advantage by avoiding the problem of separation, toxicity and flammability of organic solvents. However, the organic solvent-free alcoholysis, especially methanolysis, does not give high conversions. The same problem also occurs when ethyl or methyl acetate are used as acyl acceptors. The main problems … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 6 May 2014 · 6,798 accessesView PDFCite
