Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Contribution of Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) K Peptide in Enhancing the Expression of Lipase from Sphingobacterium sp.: In vitro and in Silico StudiesIbrahim Muhammad et al.Sphingobacterium sp. AB3 lipase is a psychrophilic enzyme with optimal lipolytic activity at pH 7 and 15°C. The cold-adapted properties of the lipase render it suitable for various low-temperature industrial applications such as biodiesel production, detergent formulation, and non-thermal food processing. Recent studies have shown that co-expression of LEA K peptide with AB3 lipase resulted in enhanced protein expression in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 21 Nov 2024 · 4,569 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Degradation of Paracetamol in Pharmaceutical Wastewater: A ReviewYahya Seun Yisau, Naeif Hamoud Al-Makishah, Mohamed Abou El-Fetouh BarakatParacetamol (4′-hydroxyacetanilide or N-acetyl-p-aminophenol or Acetaminophen) is an analgesic and antipyretic over-the-counter commonly used drug. Paracetamol has been detected in, surface waters, wastewater, and drinking water globally because of its significant utilization and unregulated release into the surroundings which have been a great concern and require an urgent approach. Microbial degradation of paracetamol is considered a desirable choice because of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 3 Aug 2024 · 6,917 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Analysis of Geothermal Data of an Oil Field, in Parts of Niger Delta, NigeriaEmujakporue Godwin Omokenu, Leonard I. NwosuGeothermal gradient and heat flow were computed from bottom hole temperatures in an oil field in Niger Delta, Nigeria. The statistical analysis of computed geothermal data was carried out. The computed geothermal gradient vary from 17.3±0.14 to 24.33±0.70°C/Km with an average of 22.24±0.57°C/km. The heat flow ranges from 38.06±0.31 to 56.39±2.41 mWm-2 with an average of 50.15±1.25 mWm-2. The computed … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 26 Sep 2016 · 7,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConformal Mapping of Temperature Variation in Compost HeapJonah Chukwuemeka Agunwamba, Oji Achuka NwokeLaboratory in vessel trapezoidal compost system was designed and constructed. Temperature variation in the compost heap was measured for five days at various depths. Mathematical model for the variation of temperature of the composting process was developed using Conformal Mapping Technique. One of the parameters in the model had two distinct roots, one a positive root and the other negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 17 Jun 2016 · 7,347 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSetting Shrinkage Characteristics of Methyl Methacrylate-Modified Vinyl Ester Polymer ConcreteKi-Bong Choi, Seung-Ho Min, Kyu-Seok YeonThis study evaluated the setting shrinkage characteristics of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)-modified vinyl ester polymer concrete with different curing ages, MMA contents and curing temperatures. Results have shown that most of the setting shrinkage developed within 24 h after curing initiation. It was also found that an increase in MMA content led to an almost linear decrease in setting shrinkage, indicating … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 17 May 2016 · 8,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Prototype of a Small-Scale Solar Power Plant: dynamic Simulation and Thermoeconomic AnalysisAnnamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Maria VicidominiThe paper presents an innovative prototype of a solar power plant, purposely designed for small-scale applications such as residential and/or small commercial buildings. The system consists of 10 kWe Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant and innovative solar thermal collectors. In particular, 235 m2 of flat-plate evacuated solar collectors are designed to heat diathermic oil up to 180°C. A variable volume … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2016 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINFLUENCE OF ELECTRON BEAM TREATMENT ON THE CRYSTALLIZATION AND THERMAL STABILITY OF LDPE/EPDM BLENDSBhuwanesh Kumar Sharma, Subhendu Ray Chowdhury, P. A. Mahanwar, K. S.S. SarmaThe effect of blend composition and Electron Beam (EB) irradiation on the crystallization and thermal behavior of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)/Ethylene-Propylene-Diene elastomer (EPDM) blends had been studied. Melting temperatures were found to remain unchanged upon variation of blend composition as well as irradiation dose. But the degree of crystallinity and Tc (crystallization temperature) were decreased with increase in EPDM content … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 17 Nov 2014 · 7,043 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 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINFLUENCE OF REACTION TEMPERATURE AND REACTION TIME ON PRODUCT FROM HYDROTHERMAL TREATMENT OF BIOMASS RESIDUEJakaphong Kongpanya, Kanokorn Hussaro, Sombat TeekasapThailand is facing with problems associated with biomass residue such as palm oil residues (oil palm trunks, oil palm fronds, empty fruit bunches, shells and fibers).
