Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodiesel Fuel Production from Algae as Renewable EnergyA.B.M. Sharif Hossain, Aishah Salleh, Amru Nasrulhaq Boyce et al.Biodiesel is biodegradable, less CO2 and NOx emissions. Continuous use of petroleum sourced fuels is now widely recognized as unsustainable because of depleting supplies and the contribution of these fuels to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the environment. Renewable, carbon neutral, transport fuels are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. Algae have emerged as one of the most promising … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 32,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Vehicle Flows and Emissions for Various Scenarios of Street Network Modifications in Mexico CityAngelica Lozano, Francisco Granados, Juan Pablo AntunWe estimate flows and emissions (NOx, HC, CO) generated by vehicles circulating on the main streets of the Mexico City Metropolitan Area. The estimation is made for various scenarios, which include a set of changes to the street network for current and future horizons. These changes encompass the construction of new arcs or improvement of existing arcs. Network flows are … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Production Planning of Electricity from Coal-Fired Power Plant Networks under Environmental ConsiderationsHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiIn this study, electricity production from a network of coal power plants and under environmental constraints is considered. Several pollutants are incorporated into the decision planning process including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and mercury (Hg). A Nonconvex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model was first developed to assist in the evaluation process. An exact linearization of the nonconvex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,070 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal Emissions from Flaring in Kuwait OilfieldsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, A. R. KhanKuwait is a major oil producing country and its economy directly depends on its export of crude and refined products. Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) is responsible for all exploration and production of crude oil in Kuwait. These activities result in the emission of gaseous pollutants to the atmosphere, particularly from the flaring of undesirable product and excess gases. For environmental … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 8,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Quasi One-dimensional Simulation of a 4 Stroke Spark Ignition Hydrogen Fuelled EngineT. F. Yusaf, M. Z. Yusoff, I. Hussein, S. H. FongActive research and development of hydrogen-fuelled engine had been done for a few decades since hydrogen serves as a potential of infinite fuel supply. This paper discussed analytically and provides data on effects of compression ratio, equivalence ratio and spark timing of a hydrogen-fuelled engine as a guideline for the engine design. The change in the thermodynamic properties of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,886 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 Involvement in Animal Pain PerceptionCristina Vercelli, R. Barbero, G. ReIn last decades, Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) has been the target of a large number of scientific investigations. It has been identified as a polymodal transducer molecule on a sub-set of primary sensory neurons which responds to various endogenous and exogenous stimuli including noxious heat (more than 42°C), protons and vanilloids such as capsaicin, the hot ingredient of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2015 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTunneling Operations, Occupational S&H and Environmental Protection: A Prevention Through Design ApproachDavide Labagnara, Alberto Martinetti, Mario PatruccoThe study refers on the main results of a research work that has been carried out by the Safety and Health group of the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) at the Politecnico di Torino, with reference to the substantial difference that exists between the case of an established absence of hazards due to the presence of noxious … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 11 Sep 2013 · 6,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForensically Flies Detect the Nutritional Value of Corpses Through Neuro-Chemoreceptive Cells-(5th Cell)Hedayat Abdel Ghaffar, Tarek Tantawi, Ibrahim Gaboub et al.Animals have evolved several chemosensory systems for detecting potentially dangerous foods in the environment. Activation of specific sensory cells within these chemosensory systems usually elicits an aversive behavioral response, leading to avoidance of the noxious foods. Blowflies respond to sugars, salts and water through the activation of specific chemoreceptor neurons in the antennal, labellar and tarsal chemosensillae. These insects also … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 5 Sep 2012 · 7,243 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Salicylic Acid-Mediated Plant Defense Responses During Initial Infection of Dyer's Woad by Puccinia thlaspeosBradley R. Kropp, Elizabeth ThomasProblem statement: Puccinia thlaspeos is a microcyclic rust pathogen that is being investigated as a potential biocontrol agent of the noxious weed, dyer’s woad (Isatis tinctoria). Although, the initial events in the colonization of dyer’s woad by the rust pathogen has been elucidated using scanning electron microscopy and PCR, little is known regarding the susceptibility response of this plant to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 8,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Option for Small Scale Cashew Nut Processing in IndiaAtul Mohod, Sudhir Jain, A.G. PowarProblem statement: Cashew (Anacardium Occidentale L.) is one of the important tropical crops. India processed about 11,80,000 metric tons of raw cashew nut seeds through 3650 cashew processing industries scattered in many states of country. The cashew nut processing industries are typically located in the rural and backward areas. The most significant difficulty in processing cashew nuts is that the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 16,074 accessesView PDFCite
