Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Modelling of Botswana’s Monthly Maximum Wind Speed using a Four-Parameter Kappa DistributionOliver Moses, Bhagabat Prasad ParidaWind speed modelling has been key to many environmental and engineering applications, particularly in environmentally friendly wind power generation to meet energy demands. Efficient assessment of wind speed at different recurrence intervals requires the choice of a suitable statistical distribution and an unbiased method of parameter estimation. This study suggests the use of a four parameter Kappa distribution, with its … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 22 Jun 2016 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuture Water Budgets and Water Supply Stress under Climate Change and Urbanization in the Upper Neuse River Basin, North Carolina, USAMichelle Tong Sun, Ge Sun, Chong Liu et al.Urbanization and climate change are the two major threats to watersheds and the environment in the United States. It is imperative to understand the sensitivity of hydrologic responses to climate and urbanization across different physiographic regions in order to formulate sound watershed management strategies and policies. This study evaluated a watershed water balance model, Water Supply Stress Index (WaSSI), with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2015 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFUNGAL LEACHING OF IRON ORE: ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLEACHING STUDIES OF PENICILLIUM VERRUCULOSUMNeha Chaudhary, Trina Banerjee, Neha Ibrahim, G. SibiPyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical technologies for recovery of metals from low grade ores require high energy and capital costs. Use of microorganisms in leaching of mineral ores is gaining importance due to the implementation of stricter environmental rules. Microbes convert metal compounds into their water soluble forms and are biocatalysts of leaching processes. This study was performed to isolate and characterize … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2014 · 7,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTYPICAL MEXICAN AGROINDUSTRIAL RESIDUES AS SUPPORTS FOR SOLID-STATE FERMENTATIONDulce A. Flores-Maltos, Solange I. Mussatto, Juan C. Contreras Esquivel et al.Biological wastes contain several reusable substances of high value such as soluble sugars and fiber. Direct disposal of such wastes to soil or landfill causes serious environmental problems. Thus, the development of potential value-added processes for these wastes is highly attractive. These biological wastes can be used as support-substrates in Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) to produce industrially relevant metabolites with great … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2014 · 7,473 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 abstractDegumming of Raw Silk Fabric with Help of Marine Extracellular ProteaseDas Sumana, Mathummal Sudarshan, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriProtease secreting microbe was isolated and characterized on the basis of their morphological, biochemical, physiological and 16S rDNA based molecular properties. The extracellular protease was quantified and characterized. Protease was used for different time (4, 8, 12 and 24 h) at different temperature (RT and 37°C) for optimization of the degumming process for raw silk fabric with enzyme dosage (0.2-1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Bio-Fuel Blends and Fuel Injection Pressure on Diesel Engine Emission for Sustainable EnvironmentKandasamy Muralidharan, Palanisamy GovindarajanProblem statement: Diesel engine emits more pollutants to atmosphere causing air pollution. This necessitates the search of a renewable alternate fuel which is environment friendly.
