Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment on the Effect of Formulative Materials on the Viability and Efficacy of Serratia marcescens-a Biocontrol Agent Against Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. cubense race 4A. S. Y. Ting, M. T. Fang, C. S. TeeProblem statement: Application of biocontrol agents to the field in pre-existing free-cell forms often results in poor cell viability which subsequently affects their efficacy in suppressing pathogen development. There is therefore a need to bioformulate these biocontrol agents not just to enhance their field potential, but for easy storage, delivery and application as well. Approach: In this study, the bioformulations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,474 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRice Starch as Coating Materials for Microencapsulation of Gamma Oryzanol to Improve its StabilityAnuchita Moongngarm, Jeerasupa Amornpan, Amaraphon Homduang et al.Gamma Oryzanol (GO) is a phytochemical with the ability to prevent oxidation. GO is normally degraded through oxidation by oxygen and sunlight. Microencapsulation is an important technique used to retard oxidation. This study compared rice starch and Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) as coating materials and investigated the stability of encapsulated GO during storage under activated oxidation conditions. The GO was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 27 Aug 2016 · 7,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBonding of Resin Materials to All-Ceramics: A ReviewLiang Chen, Byoung In SuhProblem statement: All-ceramic materials, especially silica-based lithium disilicate and non-silicate-based Zirconia, have become a topic of interest in the field of dentistry. It is still difficult to achieve a strong and durable resin-ceramic adhesion, especially resin-Zirconia bonding. Approach: The article reviews the current literature published in the past 5 years, focusing on the latest resin bonding techniques (including surface treatment, … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 21 May 2012 · 15,821 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance of Difference Electrode Materials in Electrical Discharge Machining of Tungsten CarbideP. Janmanee, A. MuttamaraProblem statement: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is now a well-established machining option in many industries. Tungsten carbide (WC-Co) is an important tool and die material mainly because of its high hardness, strength, wear resistance and high melting point. Normally, EDM is capable of machining geometrically complex or hard material component, that are precise and difficult to machine.
