Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesLength Measurement of Long Gauge Blocks by InterferometerKanokporn Kohmun, Pichet Limsuwan, Monludee Ranusawud, Prathan BuranasiriA gauge block interferometer with a vacuum chamber was designed and constructed for the measurement of gauge block lengths between 10 to 1,000 mm. In the chamber, four gauge blocks under the length measurement can be mounted on the measuring table. Furthermore, the length of all four gauge blocks can be measured continuously in one measurement. In this study, four … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 26 Sep 2020 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAssessment of Heavy Metals Contamination in Controlled and Uncontrolled Landfill Soil, Ouagadougou, Burkina FasoBambara Telado Luc, Doumounia Ali, Kohio Nièssan et al.The study was conducted to evaluate the concentrations of heavy metals in landfill soils. The soils samples were collected in some selected landfill, at Ouagadougou. Determinations of heavy metal concentrations, calculation of contamination factor and pollution load index of heavy metal in landfill soil were undertaken. The atomic absorption spectrophotometer was used to determine the concentrations of heavy metals (Cr, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 2 Sep 2020 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTaxifolin Potently Diminishes Levels of Reactive Oxygen Species in Living Cells Possibly by Scavenging Peroxyl RadicalsSatoru Sakuma, Yui Kishiwaki, Mayu Matsumura et al.Taxifolin, a naturally occurring dihydroflavonol, has been reported to possess antioxidant activity, whereas there is little information regarding its antioxidant potency as a flavonoid. In the present study, the antioxidant efficacy of taxifolin in living cells was compared to that of catechin, a potent radical scavenger, by using flow cytometry with the redox-sensitive fluorescent dye, 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate. Further, diminishing efficacy … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 18 Oct 2018 · 8,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCastration and Passive Avoidance Learning Alter the Distribution of N-Methyl D-Aspartate ReceptorSeyed Hassan Mirzaei, Mahnaz Taherianfard, Mina Tadjali, Mahbobeh KohkaloyehIn neurophysiological studies on learning and memory, L-glutamate receptors especially N-Methyl, D-Aspartate glutamate (NMDA) receptors have a major role in different aspect of the learning and memory. Two sites of mammalian brain that show high density of these receptors are CA1 region of hippocampus and Purkinje cell layer of cerebellum. Twenty four Sprague-Dawley rats were used in 4 groups: Control … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 1 Apr 2014 · 6,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of pH on the Conformation and Biological Activity of Clostridium septicum Alpha-toxin, a Pore-forming HemolysinB.M. Hang'ombe, T. Kohda, M. Mukamoto, S. KozakiThe effects of pH on the pore-forming Clostridium septicum alpha-toxin that causes myonecrosis was assessed at pH 5.0, 7.0 and 9.0 by measuring circular dichroism and its biological activity. Incubation of the toxin at pH 5.0 increased the hemolytic activity measured in murine red blood cells. On the other hand, incubation of the toxin at pH 9.0 drastically reduces the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Diesel Engine Generator Performance and Emission Characteristics Using a Mixture of Jatropha Oil and Rubber Seed Oil Biodiesels Along a Two-Step TransesterificationFana Gebremedhin Gebremichael, Joao Fernando ChidamoioThis study investigates the performance and emission properties of engine-generator powered using various dual biodiesel mixes prepared from two inedible feedstock jatropha and rubber. Jatropha and rubber oils had high acid values, which were 13.96 and 27.91 mg KOH/g, respectively. Therefore, a two-step transesterification process was conducted to lower the acid value to 0.28 and 0.42 mg KOH/g for jatropha … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 1 Jul 2024 · 5,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysicochemical Characteristics and Sub Chronic Oral Toxicity of Pistacia lentiscus L. Vegetable Oil in RabbitsMaameri Zineb, Zouhir Djerrou, Sofiane Habibatni et al.Pistacia lentiscus vegetable oil is a well known natural product in Algerian traditional medicine. It is widely used in the treatment of back pain, respiratory problems and skin burns. The aim of this study was the determination of some physicochemical parameters and the investigation of sub-chronic oral toxicity of this fatty oil in rabbits. The physico-chemical parameters obtained for this … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2016 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Low Temperature on the Fabrication of Microring Resonator by Wet EtchingHazura Haroon, Sahbudin Shaari, P. Susthitha Menon et al.Research related to semiconductor devices often relies on wafer fabrication. The fabrication of Silicon (Si) based devices by anisotropic wet etching can be affected by many etching parameters such as etching temperature, crystal orientation and percent of composition. Most of the anisotropic wet etchings by KOH solution done before were conducted at temperature over 70°C. We found that the temperatures … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 7 Nov 2012 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Extractants on the Yields and Selected Chemical Characteristics of Humic Acids Isolated from Tropical Saprists PeatLee Jia Huey, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Humic acids are beneficial to soil aggregation, binding of heavy metal, plant growth and many more. However, the isolation of Humic Acids (HA) from its origin is not only time-consuming, but the isolation is also affected by factors such as temperature and the types of extractants and their concentrations. Different concentrations of extractant are said to alter the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistillation and Microdiffusion Modifications for total Nh4f Quantification and 15N RecoveryGaius D. Eudoxie, Gregory A. GouveiaProblem statement: Applying 15N techniques to accurately determine the fate of fixed ammonium (NH4f) in the strongly and weakly held pools require modifications to existing methodologies. Modifications are necessary for measurement of total NH4f in soils by direct digestion with 5 M HF: 1 M HCl, excluding alkali pretreatment, followed by distillation and quantification of NH4. Quantification by distillation was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,593 accessesView PDFCite
