Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComprehending the Environmental and Household Determinants of Jaundice Prevalence in Western NepalUttam Paudel, Krishna Prasad PantPersuasive but scanty evidences from literature claim that climate change is linked with neonatal and adult Jaundice prevalence, especially in underdeveloped countries. This paper explored major environmental and household characteristics attributable to Jaundice prevalence in western Nepal. Cross-sectional dataset obtained from household survey are employed to obtain the results from probit regression model, adequately leveled with an econometric theory. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 19 Feb 2020 · 7,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Cellulase-Assisted Extraction of Total Flavonoids from Corn Bract and Evaluation of Antioxidant and Antibacterial AactivitiesYang Zhang, Jing Lu, Leijie Ben et al.Corn bract is a corn-based agricultural waste material that distributed worldwide. In present work, response surface methodology was applied to optimize the cellulase-assisted extraction of Total Flavonoids from Corn Bract (TFCB), the in vitro antioxidant and antibacterial as well as the in vivo antioxidant activities of TFCB were investigated. Results showed that the optimal conditions for TFCB extraction were as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 18 May 2019 · 8,505 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecycle of Plastic Bag Wastes with Organic Wastes to Energy for RDF ProductionsRithy Kan, Chatchai Kungkajit, Thaniya KaosolThis paper studies the utilization potential of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) approach to recover the discarded plastics from Hatyai solid waste disposal site in Songkhla province, Thailand. The excavated plastic bag wastes from the closure landfill of Hatyai, unused plastic bag wastes and waste residues are the raw materials for RDF productions. The raw materials are characterized for proximate analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 30 Dec 2017 · 8,724 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review: Biodegradation and Applications of Keratin Degrading Microorganisms and Keratinolytic Enzymes, Focusing on Thermophiles and Thermostable Serine ProteasesWirojne Kanoksilapatham, Weeranut IntagunKeratins are hard-degrading fibrous proteins, insoluble in water and organic solvents, often accumulated in nature and major components in feathers, skins, hair, horn, nail, hoof etc., Keratin-degrading microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, actinomycetes and fungi employ keratinases to attack keratin. Keratinases belonging to subtilisin-like serine proteases were classified based on similarity of amino acid sequences. Keratinolytic thermophilic or hyperthermophilic bacteria … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 10 Nov 2017 · 9,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation the Anaerobic Digestion Performance of Organic Waste from a Landfill in MoroccoFatima Ebich, Rajae Ramdan, Azzouz EssamriOrganic household waste has a high organic content (69 g/kg), value of pH equal to 6,3 with 94% of moisture. Anaerobic digestion is one of the technologies for recycling and stabilization of organic waste, the process is carried out in 3L reactor at semi continuous and mesophelic conditions. During the anaerobic digestion of OHW, pH was around neutrality (between 6,5 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 5 Oct 2017 · 8,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong-Term Characterization of Landfill Leachate: Impacts of the Tropical Climate on its CompositionJorge Luiz da Paixão Filho, Miriam Gonçalves MiguelThe disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in sanitary landfills produces leachate, whose composition changes depending on the microbial community and the environmental conditions. However, these changes cannot be observed in sanitary landfill because of the superposition of cells, which makes it difficult to determinate the relationship among the phases of biodegradation of MSW, the composition of the leachate and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 14 Mar 2017 · 8,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Solid Residues Obtained from Supercritical Ethanol Liquefaction of Swine ManureRui Li, Bo Zhang, Shuangning Xiu et al.Animal wastes are considered as renewable energy resources, which contain a great energy potential. For this study, swine manure was treated with supercritical ethanol within the reaction temperature range of 240-360°C to produce bio-oil, resulting in a significant amount of solid residues. Solid residues were characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), surface area, elemental and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Jul 2015 · 7,696 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAn Economic and Environmental Evaluation of the Em-Ferro Plastic Sorting TechnologySeyedehfarzaneh Nojabaei, Omid Nematshahi, Matthew FranchettiRecycling has been continually practiced since the dawn of mankind; however, increasing production costs as well as environmental impacts of the conventional waste disposal methods have shed a light on the importance of recycling as a sustainable way to produce goods and services. Recycling has proven to be beneficial, economically and environmentally: It saves resources, prevents pollution, supports public health … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 May 2015 · 6,982 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSMENT OF ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT METHODS THROUGH ENERGY BALANCEAntonio Comparetti, Pierluigi Febo, Carlo Greco et al.In Italy, the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) is nowadays landfilled or processed through aerobic composting. The Italian towns currently support a high cost for OFMSW disposal and cause a high environmental impact, because of long distances travelled from towns to a few available landfills and fewer treatment places, as well as the used waste management methods. An … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2014 · 7,215 accessesView PDFCite
