Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATIONOF ORGANIC FUNCTIONALIZED MESOPOROUS SILICA AND EVALUATE THEIR ADSORPTIVE BEHAVIOR FOR REMOVAL OF METHYLENE BLUE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONSameer H. Kareem, Inaam H. Ali, M. G. JalhoomThree Mesoporous Silica (MPS) with different functional groups were prepared by one-step synthesis based on the simultaneous hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxy silane with organo-silane in the presence of template surfactant Polydimethylsiloxane-Polyethyleneoxide (PDMS-PEO). The prepared materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments. The results indicate that the preparation of methyl and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2014 · 7,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Quinolones in Bull Semen Extenders to Reduce Sperm Deoxyribonucleic Acid DamageClara Gonzalez-Marin, Michael Eduard Kjelland, Rosa Roy et al.Cryopreserved sperm samples from Holstein bulls (n = 20) were examined for bacterial presence and Sperm DNA Fragmentation (SDF) dynamics. SDF was assessed after thawing (T0) and at 4, 24 and 48 h of incubation (37°C) and the rate of SDF (r-SDF), as an estimator of the DNA degradation over time, was calculated. Two groups of bulls were identified based … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Dec 2012 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAttitudes of Vegetable Farmers Towards Public Agricultural Extension ServicesAli AL-Sharafat, Tala QtaishatAmong vegetable farmers in Jordan, there are conflicting attitudes towards the extension activities provided by the public sector. Some farmers accept and adopt the recommendations of these activities; on the other hand, some people are not satisfied and consider these activities a waste of time for both the farmers and the government. This situation has serious impacts on the quality, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2012 · 7,405 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption from Aqueous Solution Onto Natural and Acid Activated BentoniteLaila Al-Khatib, Feras Fraige, Mohammad Al-Hwaiti, Omar Al-KhashmanDyes have long been used in dyeing, paper and pulp, textiles, plastics, leather, paint, cosmetics and food industries. Nowadays, more than 100,000 commercial dyes are available with a total production of 700,000 tones manufactured all over the world annually. About 10-15% of dyes are being disposed off as a waste into the environment after dyeing process. This poses certain hazards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 28 Aug 2012 · 8,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAerosol Filtration Using Quartz Sand FilterAbbas H. Sulaymon, Yasmen A. MustafaThe cement industry is the major source of cement dust which contains heavy metals like nickel, cobalt, lead, chromium, arsenic and hazardous substances like dioxins and furans. Exposure to these substances can cause health problems to human, animals and vegetation. A continuous pilot scale quartz sand filter was constructed and uses to study the effect of important design parameters (temperature, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 20 Jun 2012 · 7,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of Composite Material from Sea Mussel Shells and White Clay as a Versatile SorbentSingto Sakulkhaemaruethai, Churairat Duangduen, Weraporn Pivsa-Art, Sommai Pivsa-ArtProblem statement: The removal of heavy metals contaminated in aqueous solution/wastewater has been causing worldwide concern. However, the adsorbent materials are usually limited due to their high cost and environmentally benign. To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, low-cost and effective adsorbents are in demand. Approach: In this study, the sea mussel shells/natural clay beads were prepared for using as low-cost sorbent … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,805 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensorization of Robotic Hand Using Optical Three-Axis Tactile Sensor: Evaluation with Grasping and Twisting MotionsHanafiah Yussof, Jiro Wada, Masahiro OhkaProblem statement: Sensitization of robot hand is still remaining as crucial issue since most of robot hand systems nowadays are only capable to grasp a predefined specific object. It is still difficult for robot hand system to realize human-like tactile sensation. Some common problems in robot hand system are low accuracy sensing device, sensors are not robust enough for long … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Removal of Methyl Red from Aqueous Solutions Using Banana Pseudostem FibersMas Rosemal H. Mas Haris, Kathiresan SathasivamProblem statement: The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of methyl red, a mutagenic monoazo dye, from various aqueous solutions using banana pseudostem fibers of the size 212-350 micron.
