Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetoxification of Heavy Metal Contaminated SoilsFloarea Damian, Gheorghe DamianThe concentration of the heavy metals in the soils from the strong affected zones because of the mining and metallurgical industry, Baia Mare and Zlatna (Romania), is significant due to the high values of the contents and association of the four metals Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd. The efficacy of the natural zeolites in heavy metals immobilization from the studied soils … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Toolkit Approach for Carbon Capture and Storage in Offshore Depleted Gas FieldRaj Deo Tewari, Tan Chee Phuat, Mohd Faizal SedaralitFossil fuels are considered a dependable, cost-effective, and efficient energy source and their utilization has resulted in tremendous growth for humanity. However, it has its downside also. Experts are of the view that present energy systems are unsustainable due to their detrimental impacts on the environment. Oil and gas producers are charged that their infrastructure, utilization of materials and technologies … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 17 May 2023 · 6,196 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF USING STEEL SLAG AGGREGATE ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETESultan A. Tarawneh, Emhaidy S. Gharaibeh, Falah M. SarairehThis study presents an evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties and characteristics of steel slag aggregate concrete in comparison with the typical crushed limestone stone aggregate concrete. Hardened concrete consist of more than 70% aggregate due to the high demand in building construction and the increase of the amount of disposed waste material, suppliers and researchers are exploring the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 10 Feb 2014 · 8,055 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency contour for Thai TonesSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In Thai, tone is an essential feature of a prosodic syllable to identify the meanings of that syllable or that part of word. To generate the tonal speech with natural prosody, it is needed to manage the fundamental frequency (F0) of the speech appropriately. A successful approach of structural modeling from Mandarin Chinese has been adapted to model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 25 Aug 2012 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProperties of Fly Ash Based Coconut Fiber CompositeK. Saravana Raja Mohan, P. Jayabalan, A. RajaramanThe present paper reports the results of a study undertaken in enhancing properties of fly ash concrete composites-FMCC with locally available natural fiber. In this context a composite with fly ash, concrete and treated coconut fibers-available in plenty in rural areas of India-can be a good proposition and with this background, experimental investigation to study the effects of replacement of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2012 · 9,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Fundamental Frequency Contour of Coded Speech Based on Multi-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Prediction AlgorithmSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In low-bit-rate speech communication, speech coding deteriorates the characteristics of the coded speech significantly. An important feature of the speech is the fundamental frequency contour which determines the pitch information of the speech. It has been known that pitch information is one of the core parameter of the multi-pulse based code excited linear prediction (MPCELP) speech coder. Therefore … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 6,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEquilibrium Kinetics and Isotherm Studies of Cu (II) Adsorption from Waste Water onto Alkali Activated Oil Palm AshZaira Zaman Chowdhury, Sharifuddin Mohd. Zain, Rashid Atta Khan, Abdulbari Abdulrahman AhmedProblem statement: Heavy metal accumulation in waste water could affect aquatic life, human health and overall ecosystem adversely. Therefore, in recent years much emphasis has been given for the use of industrial waste material as low cost adsorbents for removal of metallic contaminants from waste water. Approach: Present study deals with the adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of Cu (II) cation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Joint Flexibility on Overall Behavior of Jacket Type Offshore PlatformsMasoud Mirtaheri, Hossein Ali Zakeri, Pejman Alanjari, Mohammad Amin AssarehProblem Statement: Nonlinear behavior of offshore structure is attracting tremendous amount of attention in recent years. Response of these structures is strictly dependent upon behavior of their joints. Because of the lack of information about this part of a structure, most of the recent analysis and designs do not contain appropriate material in the case of joints. In most cases, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomolecular Identification of Bacteria Endophytic From Betel Leaf in Jambi City Forest Park Area as Antibiotic-Producing PotentialArzita, Miranti Sari Fitriani, Nyimas Myrna Elsa Fathia et al.Background and Objective: Muhammad Sabki City Forest Park in Jambi City has three types of betel plants that contain endophytic bacteria. In 2021, six isolates of endophytic bacteria with the potential for producing antibiotics (halo zone above 10 mm) have been isolated, which can kill Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) test bacteria. that are 5 (five) isolates derived … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,234 accessesView PDFCite
